God's Compassion Is Mission | Bong Saquing | July 5, 2026

0:00 Alam niyo po sa panahon ngayon parang ang hirap pong maging mapagmalasakit sa ibang tao. Lalong-lalo na po kung nasaktan nila tayo, dinadaya nila tayo is mas madali po maging judgmental eh. Mas madali po parang gustuhin nating sila rin ay masaktan no kung maaari lang 'yung judgment ng Diyos mapasa kanila. Pero alam po ba ninyo kakaiba ang puso ng Diyos? Dito po sa atin pagdiriwang ng mission's month, makikita ho ninyo na ang puso ng Diyos ay makita niya po yung mga taong talagang magsisi ho sa kanya at mabigyan ng pagkakataon sila po'y magkaroon ng karanasan sa Diyos. Kaya tulad din natin, we don't deserve his grace but God reach out to us. Kaya naman gayun din ang ating dapat matutunan. Panoorin po natin ang mensaheng ito sapagkat dito ho sasagutin paano natin malalagpasan yung pagiging

0:46 judgmental at saka kawalan ng malasakit sa ibang tao dito po sa ating p mensahe ngayong araw na ito. Good evening. David Sutherland and uh my wife and I Diana, we live in Ortigas just down the way and we consider CCF main here our church home church family. So uh feel right at home. Thanks give me a chance to share a little bit of God's uh molding with me, a little bit of our testimony. So I grew up in the United States and I grew up with a rich spiritual heritage. My father planted churches. My mother ran child evangelism fellowship and I accepted Christ as my Lord at a very young age. When I was in

1:33 high school and in college I and university my younger brother and I we were competitive debaters and we were pretty successful. We were spending about 100 hours every week getting ready for the next debate tournament. And so it was pretty exhausting. But we did pretty well and by our thirdye university we ended up third place in America. So we were getting ready when we entered our final year to hopefully become national champions of the United States. But in that summer I attend a leadership camp and I s that God was saying to me what if this last year this upcoming year you put ministry first and debate second in your last year what if that decision would affect the eternal trajectory of just one person would that

2:20 be worth the sacrifice for you and I thought that is such an unfair question for god to ask because of course it would be worth it but I just needed one last year to finish my debate career and then we could do other things. But um but I I remember ended up sheding a few tears because I felt like God was asking me to give up the most important thing in my life. So as a result uh so but that last year we did put ministry first and as a result our debate uh results were not as good as they had been in previous years. But um there still is a national championship. So the national debate tournament happens once a year and they start with 120 teams and after

3:05 3 days they narrow it down to 16 teams and then everything is single elimination just like the World Cup and so in the round of 16 we barely won. There were seven judges. Four for us three for them. The quarterfals we barely barely won. In the semifinal of four there was five judges, three for us and two for them. So we finally made it into the finals. So just the last two teams left and normally a debate takes about an hour and a half and then the judges decide take maybe 15 minutes to decide who won. This time the judges took 2 hours to decide who won. And finally, the tournament director stood up and he had five envelopes in his hand, one for each of the five judges.

3:51 And while we watched, he opened the first one and it was for them and the second one for us and the third one for them and the fourth one for us. And it all came to one last ballot and he opened that last ballot up and it was for us and we had won. become national champions. And um when that happened, I felt like God whispered to me, "If you put me first in your life, I will take care of you." And I whispered back to God that next time I'm going to follow you coming on. Next time it's not important whether I win or not because you've really proven yourself to be faithful to me. So a few weeks after that debate tournament happened, Dian and I got married and without a doubt she has been the greatest uh inspiration in my life, one

4:39 of God's greatest gifts. And then we attended the Urbana missions conference and God called us to serve him in Asia through a secular platform. So because we were looking to follow God's call, I found a job that would allow me to work overseas. So I became an international tax lawer and Diana got her degree in linguistics so that she could teach English overseas. So we began our careers for a few years in Washington DC. We started a family. We planted a church in our living room and it eventually grew to to 1400 people. I worked for Wall Street law firms and I also worked for the Clinton administration. I was the associate international tax council and uh I even got to go to it was a great job. I even got to go to the situation room in the White House a few times and so it was a

5:26 fantastic job and one day I got a surprising call from Morgan Stanley. Morgan Stanley was the biggest investment bank in the world and they offered me a job to help them run their tax affairs in Asia. And so just a few weeks after that um we moved our whole family from America to Hong Kong and with all of our kids and over the next decade I put 5 million miles on the airplanes and I got to know the business centers in Asia very well. But our real priority in Asia was to be there for ministry and so we didn't know exactly what God was calling us to. So to try to figure it out we kind of treated it like private equity. We found 10 small ministries around Asia and we invested a

6:11 little bit of time, a little bit of money in each one and we tried to see which ones we could bring to scale. And when we were finished with that process, the one that the ministry that God really put on our heart was this one in the Philippines. It was called International Care Ministries. In 1992, ICM was started and by Bible College students in Bacolid. So ICM exists to empower poor pastors to serve their own communities. In 1998 when we found them ICM's budget was about 2 million per year for the whole organization and now IM's budget is nearly 1 billion pes a year. So ICM has grown to be one of the largest charities in the Philippines. It is amazing what God can do. When we explain

6:57 ICM to people we usually use three words. We talk about focus, effective and scale. First the word of focus. Our focus is God has called us to deal with un ultra people who live in the faum. Ultra poor means people that live on less than 50 US 30 pes per person per day. Uh of the people that we serve 23thds that lack access to clean water about uh half don't have enough food. The one that gets me is 17% of the mothers that we serve have had one of their own children die. Now, I don't know about you, but I've had maybe three or four friends that I knew who lost one of their own children for a variety of reasons. And it just crushed the parents. It just crushed

7:43 them. I mean, years later, I'm calling them up, say, "Let's go to dinner together and they're still grieving. It just takes forever." Imagine living in a society where the amount of child death is so peras there so many grieving parents. Like, what would that do to their society? The second word we use is effective. ICM works with Ivy League researchers to measure our impact. We've learned that local pastors are the hands and feet of God in these communities. Through this four month transpogram we des transform program we've designed local pastors equip the poorest families in their community with biblical values, with health, with livelihood, with early childhood education. And after only four months, the average family has increased their household income by 107%.

8:30 Theyve reduced serious illness by 32% and theyve reduced chronic hunger and scores of other life improvements as well. The third word we use is scale. 2.2 million people have graduated from that month program as of big numbers. When you talk about scale you talk about numbers so get ready God has cured 15,000 children of malnutrition nearly 300,000 have been dewormed. 300,000 scream for TB. churches 300,000 smalles 200000 veget 750,000invoneyek

9:17 together theyve accumulated 500 million of their own money that they using to their families healthy that is a money for people 30 And that is all a lot of numbers but every single one of those numbers has a soul attached to it. CCF has been the engine for the spirit part of much of ICM's ministry. Two decades ago, Pastor Peter, he came and preached to the 700 ICM pastors on our 15th anniversary. That was 20 years ago because now we're on 35 years. Now more than 20,000 pastors are actively engaged with go viral and they're from almost every denomination in the Philippines. Most of these pastors that we work with are very poor. 74% of the churches we work with have aay morning offering of

10:04 less than 500 for the enti church. These pastors, most of them are entrepreneurial, meaning they're willing to stand in front of a group and they can try to help run a church. So with those entrepreneurial gifts, they could decide to start a small business and help themselves and make their family better. But they've chosen instead not to do that. They've chosen to invest the last few p they have to start a local church. And that those decisions have often come with great consequence to their themselves and their families. Why do they do all of that? Because they feel that the God of the universe has called them to improve the lives and to share the gospel with the people in their community. So those are our heroes

10:49 um ICM works with CCFs beyond ministry to bring go viral across the size and min the scale is so huge it is not easy to train 20,000 pastors one at a time. So we created a cascading strategy. Qu ICM staff from each of ICM 38 branches to here in the mana and they get a full week of training to train for the upcoming quarter and sitting here in this section all the red shirts those are the 76 ICM staff our past trainers and they come from all over the country uh they um they are from all over

11:35 theppines and ICM of 600 full staff that work for us we have about do staff that work for us each of our bases and we already have bases inibo anduiluoligti bahol l corn jensolan cd port princessa and then those bases are further subdivided into branches so we have about 38 branches that are operating this morning we have two ICM staff with us from each of those branches. Together, these 76 uh ICM staff, they travel to the most remote parts of this country. It is it is true heroism. So CCF

12:22 trains the C76 ICM staff here in the NCR and then those staff go home and they train 2000 lead pastors across their provinces to apply the go viral strategy. Those 2000 lead pastors then train 20,000 pastors and those 20,000 pastors implement go viral in their churches. While their churches are small, you add them up, it's a lot. There are more than 1 million Filipinos that are in their churches on Sunday morning. So, um, the results of that training is really phenomenal. God has empowed these pastors to plant more than 12,000 new church fellowships in these in the last few years and those

13:09 are phenomenal numbers right and uh when uh we that's over 3 years we just checked as of April more than 90% of those fellowships are still active there are now 32,000 new uh potential leaders that are practicing prayer care and share there 000 people christoups that thesearable over here you joshua he serv communities witchc is quite common jua has personally shared the gopel with 1080 people he seen 140 new believer past roy developed helped deliver almost a million meals to hungry people after

13:54 the bigger earthquake that happened in one and his downlines shared the gopel 26,938 souls and past he serves the tribes in lake and his downlines have seen god lead 18,3333 people to become new believers and each of those people are now in D groups as well. of those 76 people over there could tell you incred stories of God's faithful you do is ask so training all of those is only possible through ICM's partnership with CCF pastor Peter has committed a huge amount of effort towards adapting the go viral curriculum to be relevant

14:39 to the poor communities in the Philippines and CCF has provided financial resources as well for the last few years CCF has provided about 90 million each year to underwrite the go viral activities and so I think all of you therefore are a part of all of that as well so we at ICM are really grateful for the quarterly MMRC trainings the past trainings that we get in the support for thousands of trains across the min addition to go viral ICM also empowers pastors for direct evangelism last year we saw 500,000 people hear the gopel through track films and espcially through vacation schyl

15:26 addilinage this year not that many churches that you might be so generous to invest ine communi church so i hope all proud to be part of the ccf community that follows god's call to uplift the po so back to my role in business in 2009 Morgan Stanley asked me to become the chief financial officer across Asia Pacific for their business. So they gave me a huge corner office and I was in one of the tallest buildings in the world and I oversaw the financial affairs of of a multibillion business and God blessed me in that role. I over the next four years I worked with a couple of four different CEOs and three different

16:12 CEOs. So pretty soon I was the longest serving member of the Morgan Stanley Sea Suite in Asia. In December 2012 I traveled to New York and I met with my big boss right there in square and I had a lot of things to say to him before I started he said I just want to let you know we decided that Morgan Stanley no longer needs CFO in Asia. You have any questions? That meeting started at 2 pm and at 210 pm I was back in my hotel room and my career was over after 17 years. Now I don't mean to complain. Invest banking is a very cutthow business. There's a lot of uh people you know loser jobs is what happens. But I got to say I was just surprised it happened. I didn't see

16:57 it coming. And during that short walk from the Morgan Stanley building to my uh to my hotel, I felt God whispering to me, "I will take care of you." Just like he had those decades earlier. Now, fortunately, for myself, there were other banks that offered me a job. So God did give me the option to reenter business if I' chosen to but I felt his call to pursue ministry full time. Now that pivot from investment banking to full-time ministry has been a big commitment for me. I walked away from business at the height of my income producing years. But and I we think it's been worth it because the God of the universe who created all things and has all power he he's been so generous to us. He's given us a safe home a loving

17:44 relationship. He's given us enough food to feed our children and far more than we'll ever need. And we know so many people in this world don't have all of those blessings. So the least we can do is we can turn our heart and spirit towards him, lay whatever he's given us at his feet and turn our attention to whatever task he calls us to do. So to God be the glory. Thank you. Praise God. Praise God. talagang nahiyak ko kasi I was given the privilege na makapag-minister kasama nila a long time ago, mga about 15 to 17 years ago. Nakita ko ho talaga yung bahay ng mga poorest of the poor na sinasabi. Parang hindi ho maisip na bahay eh. Kasi parang parang alam niyo yung pahingahan lang ng mga magsasaka parang ganun. And yun ka t's nabalitaan ko pa yung kinakain nila cartoon

18:30 yung ganun po kaya nakita niyo naman Php30 a day and kung may apat sa pamilya parang 750 paano ka mabubuhay non no and kaya we're so privileged na ano kaya nakita ko doon yung mga pastor ang lalayo ng nilalakad mag-a-attend lang nung conference yung nagturo kasi ako doun eh na ang layo ng nilalakad nila hiyang-hiya ho ako talaga nung nung nandon ako, tumayo ako in front of those pastors. Parang parang akala mo ang ang ku-cute namin ng dating namin kasi wow si pastor ganito. Pero pag inisip mo ho pagdating sa langit wala tayong sinabi. They will be rewarded more than we could ever imagine. Nakuha po. And praise God

19:18 po. By the way, pinagpalang araw para sa inyo at alam kong excited kayo ngayong gabi kasi alam niyo, praise God sa inyo. Hindi ko man lang kayo na-recognize kanina, patawarin ninyo ako. Hindi niyo ako binigyan ng pulong t-shirt eh. Joke lang. Pero praise God. Sila po yung mga bayaning pastor natin. Nagte-train po sila and they're really reaching out to so many other pastors doon poalik po sa Mindanao tsaka Visayas. Ano. Ayan. Praise the Lord sa inyo ha. Pagpalain kayo ng panginoong Diyos. Pagpe-pray niyo rin kami ha. O sige. Praise the Lord. Now, balik ho tayo rito. Alam niyo po naisip niyo po ba bakit po yung mga tao ang daming mga konsumido yung puno-puno ng konsumisyon? Natanong niyo po ba 'yun? Alam niyo kung

20:04 bakit? Kasi karamihan ng mga tao walang misyon. Kaya puro konsumisyon ng Allah naiisip eh. Walang misyon. Kung meron man silang misyon, mali pa. Kaya nga kimisyon 'di ba? Mali. Mali 'yung misyon nila kasi nga ho akala nila ang misyon nila ay makaroon lang ng bahay, makapagtapos ng pag-aaral, magkaroon ng magandang pamilya. Minsan ang mission natin ang bababaw. Alam niyo 'yun? And kaya and in fact most of us ang mission lang natin is to survive. Kumbaga pag tinanong mo 'yung ordinaryong magagawa, ba't ka ba nagtatrabaho para kumita ng pera? Bakit gusto mong kumita ng pera para may pabiling pagkain? Bakit gusto mong kumain para manatiling malakas? Bakit gusto mong malakas para makapagtrabaho? Bakit nga? Para may pambiling pagkain? Bakit nga para malakas? Bakit nga para makapagtrabaho? Eh bakit nga? Para makal

20:51 malakas makapag Hanggang sa hindi na magtagpo yung kinikita at saka yung pampalakas. Magdadagdag ng gamot, supplement hanggang sa pag tanda na hindi na talaga kaya patay. So what what I'm trying to say is that we're just trying to survive. Gusto lang nating mabuhay. Ganun lang. At yung iba para mas maganda pang buhay makakahiga ng ng ano yung talagang mas ginhawa para isip nila yun ang magbibigay ng kapahingahan sa kanila. ' Ba kaya ho pag inisip niyong mabuti kaya ang tao punong-puno ng konsepyon eh. Ngayon kung alam natin yung totoong mission na yung karapat dapat ipamuhay kapag may dumating na pagsubok alam mo pwede itong hakbangin for a greater purpose. O kaya naman pwede itong alam mo kung ano yung detour na gagamitin mo kasi alam mo pa

21:37 rin kung saan ka papunta. Tama? Kaya ho yun po yung sinasabi natin. Kaya ngayon once nung nakakilala natin si Jesus Christ, praise God. Bakit? Kasi binigyan tayo ng maliwanag na misyon that we are not just to survive. We are to live. We are not just to exist. We are to accomplish what God wants us to fulfill sa buhay natin. Kaya kaya ang ang Christian life napakafulfilled na buhay eh. Kasi may sense of significance dahil alam mo meron kang dahilan bakit ka nandidito? Hindi ka basta aatim lang ako. Hindi may maliwanag dahilan ba't ako nandidito? Eh kaya ho sa awa ng Diyos gusto niya lagi yan na sinasariwa. Gusto niya lagi ang pinapaalala sa atin. Bakit? Kasi nga po may tendency ho tayo

22:24 na kumbaga ang dali ho nating mang tawag dito mag-give up sa kalagitnaan ng karera. Naalala ko si Mike, si Mike po kasi talagang sobrang mahilig mag-swim. At sa sobrang hilig niyang mag-swim at talagang ano, practice siya ng practice. Araw, tanghali, gabi practice siya ng practice. Sabi niya, "CKailangan gamitin ko 'tg galing ko na ito kasi sayang naman." So nag sumali siya sa isang paligsahan. So lalo siya nag-practice. And gagawin yung karera sa lake. Gagawin sa lake. So nung gagawin sa lake, ito na. Nagulat siya pagdating niya doon yung mga kalaban niya ang daming kasama. May mga cheering squad, may mga kamag-anak. Siya, siya lang mag-isa. So ganun pa man. Sabi niya tuloy na 'to.

23:11 Una naisip niya kung mag-backout na lang eh. Pero sabi niya, tuloy na 'to. Sayang naman. So o na. Ready, get set bang. Talagang sorry at nagising ko ata 'yung natutulog. Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. Kasi syempre gann talaga 'yung lake kasi 'yun eh. Lake kaya malakas 'yung pagkaputok para sabay-sabay toos ang paspas and talaga naman yung practices niya paid off talagang ang bilis. Ngayon nung malapit na sa gitna yung iikot na sabi niya napagod. Alam niyo 'yun parang ayoko na. Sabi niya ayoko na. Nag-slowdown siya. Kaya nung pag-ikot niya, nakita niya yung second placer malapit ng umabol. Naku, kinapaspasan ko. Pinaspasan niya yung swimming niya talagang naku nung pagdating sa finish line

23:59 naunahan siya. Warm one arm length lang ang inadvance nung kalaban. Grabe sabi, "Wow! Ito pero nagtataka siya habang hapong hapong siya bilang siya yung sinalubong ng tao to's inangat inangat sabi ganon. Sabi yung nanonood ngayon yung by standard na malay bakit siyang inaangat? Eh hindi naman siya ang nanalo 'di ba? Parang ganon ang sasabi niyang ganon. Sabi niya, "Naku nakita mo lang yung karera panalo sana siya eh kung may kamay lang siya." Kaya one arm length lang yung panalo eh. Ang hirap ata ng langu nilalaman ni ganon oh. Ba kung may kamay lang siya panalo sana siya eh.

24:45 Pero napansin ninyo madalas sa kalagitnaan parang bigla kang parang ayaw mo na. Kaya ang tawag nga doun pag aayaw mo na hindi ka nakarating sa taas sa gitna lang. Middoker. Napansin niyo 'yon? Doun nagsimula yung ta kasi nga hanggang gitna lang. Ngayon alam niyo kaya ang ganda naman sa atin we are celebrating our missions monthly kasi it reminds us teka muna I'm not here just to exist kasi pag dumating maraming problema parang gusto mo na sumuko eh ' ba kaya happy mission's month ha pakisabi mo sa katabi m happy missions month ' ba kahit na kung si mission ikaw ehindi h hindi hindi alam ko may mission ka naman eh 'di ba na happy missions months kasi mahalagang naaalala natin na meron tayong misyon

25:30 mula sa Panginoong Diyos. Now, ito ang ganda ho sa isang importanteng katotohanan na ang misyon ng Diyos itong mission month, it is a reminder for all of us that God had a heart has a heart for the nations. Hindi lamang po ang ang puso ng Diyos hindi lang po para sa isang tao, hindi lang sa isang pamilya, hindi lang para sa isang bansa. Ang puso niya po ay para sa maraming bayan o buong mundo kumbaga. Pero alam niyo po nabasa natin kanina yung sa Jonah noimaginin niyo po nakatanggap kayo ng text message. Kadalasan pag nakakatanggap ng message sa ganyan at marami ka na laging natatanggap araw-araw alam niyo minsan alam niyo alam niyo na kaagad pag may nag-text kaagad kung sasagutin niyo o

26:17 hindi na ah wala yan huwag kong pansinin yan. W'wag pansinin yan. Hindi mo papansinin syempre hindi mo sinasabi ng malakas pero nalagay mo lang doon Mark and Red ganun 'di ba? Bakit ang nagte-text sayo yung boss mo eh o kaya yung asawa mo magpapabili na naman to o kaya o kaya naman D group leader mo ' ba ay may D group naman kami sayang huwag muna sagutin mamaya na mamaya na 'di ba para alam niya kung aattin ako o hindi. O kaya naman text kong kani-kanino lamang. So imaginin po ninyo kung yung nagte-text sa inyo at nagbibigay ng mensahe sa inyo ay si Lord. Have you ever imagined receiving a

27:02 message from God and ignoring it? Pag-isipan niyo mabuti. Yun ho ang ating pag-aaral mamaya yung sa book of Jona. Kasi yun ang pinaka-essence nung pina-message niya. Parang here's God's message and Jonah ignored it. Bakit? Pero bago yan, gusto kong maintindihan ninyo na ang Panginoong Diyos nagbigay ng mensahe sa atin para tayo. May misyon ka. And as a church, as a body of Christ, meron tayong missyon. We do not just exist for the sake of having a church n sa ganon meron tayong malaking church that people will congratulate us that we are a mega church. Hindi ho ganun eh. Meron tayong misyon dahil ito ang sabi ng Panginoon. Sabi niya, "Oh, and Jesus came up and spoke to them saying, "All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth." Lagi kong sinasama po ito kasi

27:47 it reminds us na itong mission na 'to coming from Jesus Christ that ito may authority ako in heaven and on earth. Dalawang posibilidad na pwede mong gawin. Tanggapin mo at kilalanin mo yung authority ko o hwag mong pansinin. Kaya sabi niya, "If you truly understand and admit and accept my authority over everything in heaven and on earth." Sabi niya "Therefore go and make disciples." So ngayon, hindi ko natatanong sa inyo ano yung pinaka pinaka main verb dito. Kasi dito para maintindihan ninyo ha, makising kayo mabuti, pag tinanong kayo ni Pastor Peter sa anniversary, mali sagot niyo, hindi ko kayo kilala. Bakit? Ang pinaka-main verb dito kahit sa Greek kasi is a compound word na make disciples eh. Ano iyung go? Ano iyung

28:33 baptizing? Ano iyung teaching? Iyung tawag sa kanila verbal participes. Okay? Ang tawag kaya ang ibig sabihin non para gawin mo yung discip discipleship first you need to be intentional to go. Sasadyain mo talaga hindi mo aantayin kundi pupuntahan mo ' ba? Sasadyain mo yan. paplanuhin mo yan kasi you have to go then you have to bring them to the point na they will be willing to be identified with Jesus Christ kasi nga marami hindi eh hindi ko wala akong pakialam kay Jesus no kasi yyung word na baptism meaning you are willing to lose your identity at ikaw na ang identity mo na is in the name of the father the son and the holy spirit kasi ang ibig

29:20 sabihin para kang nagpapalit kulay eh 'di ba 'yung baptism. So ngayon hindi na ikaw you are no longer to live for yourself but for God. And amazingly in the name. Kasi ang nature ng Diyos is a triunity. Naunawaan po ngayon pagkatapos na sabing ganon after that sabi niya teach them to observe. Kaya sabi niya hindi natapos doon. Now that they identify themselves to Jesus turuan mo rin sila paano gawin. Paano mabuhay at sumunod kay Jesus. Eh hindi naman ako teacher eh. Wala akong ganong gift. Tanong ko lang sa inyo, sino ba ang mga magulang sa inyo? Magulang. Hindi nanggugulang, magulang. Ayan. So para sa mga magulang, pag-isipan ninyo. Nung kayo po ba'y nag-asawa at mag-anak, nag-aral po ba kayo papaano maging

30:06 magulang? Hindi 'di ba? Ngayon, ano yung tinuturo niyo sa anak niyo? Tinuturuan niyo silang sumunod. Tinuturuan niyo silang kung anong mga responsibilidad sa bahay. Saan niyo natutunan yan? You're just showing them what you are doing. Tama ba? Kaya nga teach them to observe. Hindi nga sinasabi to Roms and doctrina. Teach them how you obey the Lord. You teach them how you grow in your relationship with God. You teach them the enjoy, the the joy and the blessings of being with God. It moila yung yung saya na yan. Ipasa mo sa kanila. So sila rin kay hindi po ako talaga marunong eh. Sabi niya, "Huwag kang mag-alala. Hindi kita iiwan. And law I am with you always the very end of the age. Ba ang sarap kasama natin ang panginoong diyos kasama natin ang panginoong jesurristo has all

30:53 the authority in heaven and on earth. Biruin mo makapangyarihang Diyos tayo iiwan kasama natin ngay pa sabi ng Lord hindi lang yun ang kasama ninyo. I will make sure na yung kasama niyo is powerful. Kaya sabi niya, "But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you." Yung word na power talagang sobrang powerful. Kaya nga diyan nga hinango yung salitang dynamite eh. Yung dunamis diyan hinango yun no. Hindi baligtad. Hindi yung hinango yung power mula sa dunamis. Hindi hinango doun yung dahil ganun makapangyarihan ang dinamita pag sumabog boom. Talagang sabog eh talagang daming nasisira ganun. Mas higit pa diyan. ang kapangyarihan ng

31:39 banal na espirito. And dahil dito, sabi niya, "You shall be my witnesses." Kumbaga yung iyong mga nasaksihan, yung mga nakita mo na katotohanan na buhay si Kristo, nakita mo yung kapangyarihan sa sarili mong buhay, ipapatotoo mo. Hindi lang, hindi yan sunod-sunod. Hindi yung Jerusalem muna tapos Judea and Samaria pagatasot. Hindi sabi niya both in Jerusalem, in Judea and Samaria and to the remotest part of the earth. Ibig sabihin kahit saan ka nanoroon, ikaw ay patotoo ni Jesus. Kumbaga pag nakita ka pa lang ng tao sa opisina, nakita ng mga kaopisina mo at kakasama ka nila, alam kaagad nila kay tagasunod ni Jesus to. Iba eh. Iba yung kanyang may patotoo

32:26 siya eh. Naku at pag tinanong ka bakit kakaiba ka? Lahat na dito reklamador. Ikaw parang ang saya-saya mo pa din. Ang sipag mong magtrabaho. Doon magpapatotoo ka na. Eh kasi si Jesus eh ang bait eh. Tsaka talagang isipin mo pinatawad ako sa mga kasalanan ko tos binigyan niya ako ng sense of reason to live. Oh, okay ba 'yan? Ba pag nandudon ka sa kusina, nakita ka ng anak mo, "Ma, bakit ganyan ka? Ang saya-saya mo. Kahit na si papa minsan parang pasaway ba alam mo anak, dahil kay Jesus ' ba nakakatuwa isipin niyo then matotoo eh t's sasagutin mo ipapaliwanag mo o 'di

33:13 ba? Ngayon hindi lang yun meron ka pang authority coming from the father himself. Bakit? Tingnan sabi ng Lord. So Jesus said to them, "Peace be with you." Ano ibig sabihin ng peace be with you? Ang word na peace hindi lang basta walang gulo. Ang ibig sabihin ng peace with you, "My whole being be upon you. My whole wellbeing be upon you." Kung ano yung meron ako sao mo yan parang wow. And sabi niya, "Because as the father has sent me, I also send you." Kaya yung authority na meron ako coming from the father, I'm also sending you with the same authority. Ang lupit no? Parang wow, what a blessing. Kaya naman

34:01 ang mission ng Diyos hindi yan suggestion. Yung great commission hindi yan suggestion. Hindi 'yan optional ' ba. Hindi lang 'yan para sa pastor, sa missionary, sa full-time workers. Hindi. Lahat ng tagasunod ni Kristo yan ang misyon nila na galing sa Diyos. Naunawaan? Sino sa inyo ang tagasunod ni Kristo? Pakitaas ang kamay. Yes. Pakita sa kamay. Yan ang tanong. Anong ginagawa natin? ' Ba kaya hindi tinatanong kung should I participate in God's mission? Hindi ganon ang tanong. Ang tanong na totoo, if we already know the great commission, bakit marami pa ring Christians ang nahihirapang gawin at ipamuhay ito? Yan ang tanong. Ngayon,

34:49 hindi ko sinasabi, "Ang labo mo naman, Christian." Hindi ho. Kaya nga, "Praise God." Dahil sa aklat ng Jonah, pinakita ho sa atin ng Diyos na ito ay nagsasalamin tungkol sa atin. Ba? Hindi lang ' tungkol kay propetang Jonas. Hindi lang to tungkol dun sa isda. Hindi hindi. Si Jonas ay salamin. Sinasalamin niya habang binabasa natin 'yung kwento niya, unti-unti nating nakikita ang sarili natin. Kaya nga gusto kong ma-diskubre natin ilit ang simpleng katotohanan na ang puso ng misyon ay ang habag ng ating panginoong Diyos. No. The heart of mission is God's compassion. Kumbaga sa madaling salita. Ayan para hindi niyo

35:36 makalimutan. God's compassion is mission. Okay ba yan? Naunawa natin pakisabi nga sa katabi mo. God's compassion is mission. Ulit-ulit. Parang kung si misyon yasabi mo eh ulit. God's compassion. Hag kong mag-usap kayo an God's compassion is mission. Okay? Para hindi na natin makalimutan. Now, may simpleng tatlong bagay na tayong titignan. Ito'y simple pero naniniwala ko ito'y life changing if we allow God to speak to our hearts. No, let's begin. Tatlong bagay. God's compassion is proactive. Ibig sabihin talagang nagte-take ng initiative dahil it it ano it is based

36:24 on God's heart. 'Di ba? The heart of God. Kaya yung ano yung kanyang pag yung puso niya yung kanyang mahabaging puso. God's compassion pursues hinag talagang hinahabol talagang hinahanap. Yan God's compassion transforms. Nagbabago. Simulan natin. God's compassion proactive. Ito ay hango sa buhay po sa sulat ni Jonah ha. Okay. Tingnan natin. The word of the Lord. Yung word ng Lord pag sinsabi Yahwe I am 'di ba? I am. He is forever present. Ibig sabihin hindi talaga siya nagbabago. He is selfsustaining. Ibig sabihin he can hindi niya kailangan ng sinumang tao. Ganun pa man he was the one who's taking initiative to to call Jonah. Hindi pa gumagalaw si Jonah, gumagalaw na ang

37:09 Diyos. Are you following? At hindi pa inuutusan si Jonah, si God nag-iisip na at iniisip niya na ang kapakanan ng mga tagaaniniba. Naunawaan natin kaya sabi niya, "The lord came to the son of Amiti." Now, tuloy tayo kaya sabi niya, "Tandaan ninyo ang Diyos laging nauuna." Paano ko nalaman? Kasi yung prinsipyo na yan nauuna siya, makikita niyo sa buong Bible yan eh. Si Adan sino naghanap? Si God. Si si Abraham nandudon siya. Nabubuhay siya sa ano sa OR. Mas mayaman naman siya. Sino tumawag sa kanya? Si God. Si ano si si Moses. Nag-aano siya nagpapastol ng mga tupa ' ba. Nandudon si Sino tumawag sa kanya? Si God. Ngayon

37:56 si si Pedro nangingisda. Sino tumawag sa kanya para maging fisher sa man? Si Jesus. Tama. Si Jesus. Ngayon si Paul talagang nag-uusing, religious terrorist. Inuusing ang mga Christians. Sino nag-interrupt sa kanya patungo sa daan ng Damasco? Si Jesus. Napansin ninyo God always makes the first move. Alam niyo kung tayo po ang bibigyan ng pagkakataon ng Diyos naging Christian tayo. Kung kung hindi si God ang unang naging talagang kumilos, hindi naman natin tatanggapin si Jesus eh. Kasi unang-unang makasalanan tayo, we're so self-centered people. And look at what God said. Sabi niya, "But God demonstrate his own love toward us in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Hindi

38:43 tungkol sa pagsisinungaling. Yung sinungalingas lang yan. Yung pandaraya, yung pang ano pambababae, panlalaki, mga pagnanakaw, lahat yun symptomas ng yon. Ang totoo niyan, ang sinfulness is living independently from God. Hindi tayo nagre-respond sa kanyang pagmamahal. Hindi tayo nagre-respond sa kanyang salita. Kaya we do things on our own. Kung ano yung feeling nating tama, yun ang ginagawa natin. Walang pakialam ang Diyos. Yun ang sinfulness. Yun yung parang we determine what is good and evil for ourselves. ' Baas sabi ng Diyos if you eat the fruit you shall surely die. Kaya sabi ng panginong Diyos parang ayaw ko sayo Diyos. Ayokong ikaw mag-determinean ng mabuting masama para sa akin. Let me do it by myself. Eh 'yun

39:28 ang kasalanan. And ito ang problema. Pagka makasalanan ka para kang patay kasi you shall surely die. And kaya we are spiritually dead. We are spiritually dead. And isipin ninyo nakakita na ba kayo ng patay nung habang nililibing nadapa yung mga nagbubuhat at b sabi niya, "Oh, mag-ingat naman kayo." Meron bang ganon? Hindi siya nagre-respond pag nalaglag. Ganun lang yun. Sumusunod lang yon. ba ganun din kahit na nag-iiyak yun ba't mo iniwan ganyan sasabihin mo ng patay huwag ka na mag-alala susunod ka na mamaya meron pang ganon wala naman ba hindi magre-respond yan kasi bakit patay na yan eh ganun din alam nating patay tayo spiritually we do not respond to god's word we do not respond to his love

40:15 we have no care about the things of god bakit kasi nga patay naman tayo Yes, you can be religious pero not in reality responding to the very will of God. Kasi nga we're dead. We're separated from him. Yun ang punto ng panginong Diyos. Kaya sabi niya, if God has given us the parang if God will just move, if we seek him first, wala na. Wala na tayong parang wow wala ng mangyayari. But it was God who take the initiative. Kaya nga sabi ng Bible, "Arise, go to Nineva, the great city and cry against it for the wickedness has come up before me." Ito nakakagulat ang sinasabi ng Lord because he's taking initiative, pumunta ka doon sa lugar ng mga terorista. Yung galit sa akin, galit

41:01 sa salita ng Diyos, galit sa sa mensahe ng Panginoong Diyos doon ka magministero. Kasi ang mga ang niniba ay isa sa mga siyudad ng Assyria na siyang napaka-cruel, Ubod ng sama. Ibig sabihin alam niyo ba kung gaano sila ka-cruel? Ito 'yung mga naghahati ng tiyan ng mga buntis para kainin yung bata. Sabi ko hindi to biro. T's sasabi, "Lord, pupunta ako diyan. Ah ano ka Lord naman wala namang ganyanan. Sabi nenini ba ba parang ne ba? Parang ganun ba? Parang Lord hindi tama 'yan. Pero bakit siya pinapupunta ng Diyos doon? Kumbaga sa lahat naman ng lugar, bakit yun pa?

41:47 That is exactly the point. Kasi si God ito ha, yung compassion niya umaabot sa mga taong iniiwasan ng iba. Yung mga kahit tayo kung kung meron lang silang pipiliing tao at ikaw ay hindi mapili, hinahanap ka ng Diyos. Ba sa sobrang sama ng mga taong to people will never dare to minister to them but God is willing to reach out to them. Nakuha ninyo? Kaya sometimes itong problema natin. We want God to bless us but we don't always want him to bless the people we don't like. Naalala niyo 'yung isang mama galit sa kapitbahay to's nagpakita ang anghel sa

42:32 kanya. Sabi niya, "Ano man ang hiling mo." Sabi niyang ganon, "Bigay ko sayo pero dodoblehin ko sa kapitbahay mo." Ha? Ano yon? Sige nga. Humingi siya. Lord, pahingi naman ng PH milyongo. Dumating na damit sigawan na. Mamaya nagsisigawan din yung kapitbahay kasi nakatanggap sila ng milyong gra labo naman non nag-request ako 100 dalawa sige ano pang request mo Lord bigyan niyo po ako ng ano 100 ektaryang lupainos pinadala sa kanya tua hallelujah tapos mamaya nagsisigawan yung kapitbahay meron silang dawa dal ektaryang lupain

43:20 galit na galit siya sabi niya anong huli kong hihilinghin para naman maayos ako. Sabi niya, "Lord, bulagin niyo isang mata ko." Naintindihan niyo kung gaano kasama ang tao na parang bless naman tayo pero huwag mong ma-bless yung iba. Walang ganunan. Ganun tayo. Yun ang problema nating malaki. Kaya nga itong problema rin ni Jonah. K ang ginawa ni Jonas sa verse 3, but Jonah rose up to flee to Tarsish. Ha? Buti sana kung lugar lang pinag-usapan ha. From the presence of the Lord. So he went down to Jopa. Pansin niyo yung picture pababa? Went down to Jopa. Talagang pinapakita na

44:06 kung saan direksyon ni ni ni ni Jonah. Pababa. Hindi pataas pababa. And sabi ganon. and found the sheep and was going to Tarsis, paid the fair and went down into go to went into it to go with with them to Tarsis from the presence of the Lord. Itong pinakamalungkot. It's not about just the place na putaong tarsis. Hindi. You are going away from God. Kasi ang yung lugar kahit na saan pa yan kung hindi mo kasama si God yun ang pinakamalungkot na lugar. Kaya nga ho wala sa lugar ang pagpapala ng Diyos. Nasa presensya ng Diyos. Itong si Jonah chose not to be with God. Anong problema nito? Saan ka nakakita ng ganon? Ba parang paano yan? Tingnan niyo naman

44:53 kung gaano kalayo 'yun. Andito yung nini. Ang lapit-lapit 500 miles lamang 'di ba? Ito yung Israel ang tarsist 2,000 miles away. Ang layo-layo. Tatyagain mo. Ganun katagal magbabarko ka. Ano ka ba? Yung panganib ng barko handa mong suungin. Para saan? Para lumayo sa Diyos. Anong problema mo? Parang ang hirap computin kasi why would a man who knew God so well run away from him na kumbaga yung alam mo na yung kasama mo napakabait, mapakapangyarihan siya nagpo-provide ng lahat mong pangalan t's lalayuan mo. Anong problema mo? Anong ang labo mo naman? Galit ka ba

45:39 kay God? No one ang mga tao ganun din tayo eh. Minsan hindi natin naiisip eh na meron din tayong mga pinatakbuhang bagay na parang ang layo natin sa Diyos. Kaya sabi niya, "Ang sama naman nitong si Jonah. Umaalis, lumalayo kay God." Ano ba 'yan? Alam niyo ang problema ni Jonah, problema din natin. Pag-isipan ninyo, pa kinakausap ba kayo ng Diyos lately sa inyong mga quiet time, sa seremon o sa messages or maybe ginagamit ng Diyos ang iyong asawa? Kasi madalas ang asawa parang Holy Spirit din yan eh. Hindi totoo. ginagamit din sila ng panginoong diyos minsan anak, kaibigan,

46:24 circumstansya may mga promptings ang Diyos like patawarin mo na 'yan makipag-ayos ka na o kaya maglingkod ka na. Maybe kinakausap ng Diyos iba sa inyo, mag-share ka ng gospel. I-share mo yan sa katabi mo. I-share mo sa sa kasama mo sa opisina. Minsan sinasabi ko, "Lord, mag-join ka na ng D group Group." O kaya mag-lead ka na ng D group Group. Pero okay may sinasabi sa Diyos matagal na hindi mo pa rin ginagawa hanggang ngayon. You know friends whenever God speaks, tandaan niyo to ha. It is an expression of his mercy that he is there taking initiative taking initiative because he cares for us. Kaya nga ho itong bagay na to mapapansin ninyo

47:09 kapag ang Diyos nanatiling tahimik palagay ko maliligaw na tayo. But the mere fact that he speaks and he wants to guide all of us siya ang Diyos na totoong nagmamahal sa atin. 'Di ba? Tingnan niyo ang tanong ho dito pag nagsalita na si God para i-guide ang buhay natin para hindi tayo malagay sa isang mga pagkakataong 'yung sakit ay hindi mo makakalimutan. Ang tanong lang, makikinig ka ba? Makikinig ka ba? Hindi. Oo, makikinig naman ako. Pero next week na ha. Huwag na ngayon. Next week na. Hindi. Hindi. Bukas. Bukas. Sige na. Bukas. Huling tawad. Hindi. Hindi. Ngayon. Ngayon ang sinasabi ng Diyos eh. Because God's compassion is proactive.

47:57 Bakit? Because he is merciful. Kapatid, here is the interesting part. Si Jonah hindi nakinig. Instead of going to Ninva, nagpunta sa opposite direction. Nakita niyo masama pa kabila. At sabi niya, "So anong ginawa ng Diyos?" Kayo po kapagka meron kayong inutusan na under sa inyo tao ninyo, tahasang hindi kayo pinakinggan. Sa halip na sumunod sa inyo, iba ang ginawa. Anong gagawin niyo? Kung kayo boss? Syempre mabait kayo, Christian kayo eh. Alam mo hindi ka sumunod. Huwag kang mag-alala. Tanggal ka na. Ba tanggal ka. Ano ka diyan? Siniswerte ka. Yun lang anak natin hindi sumunod eh. Anong

48:43 gagawin mo? Ano ano ganyan gagawin mo? Ha? Maintindihan niyo? Parang bakit hindi mo ako nierespeto? Parang taasan 'yun. Pero alam niyo kakaiba si God eh. Hindi niya pinalitan si Jonah. Hindi niya hindi siya naghanap ng ibang propeta. He can do that. Hindi niya ginive up si Jonah. Yung compassion niya nagpatuloy pa rin kahit na tumakbo na palayo. Alam niyo kung bakit? Because God's heart, God's compassion is pursuing. Alam niyo tingnan niyo ha. Umalis ha. Anong ginawa ng Lord? The Lord hurled a great wind on the sea and there was a

49:29 great storm on the sea so that the sheep was about to break up. Alam niyoung word na hurled? Yun yung parehong salitang ginamit ho kay Saulo nung sinibat niya ho si David. Ang lakas do power yun. And sabi ni Lord, he heardled a storm. Sino nagpadala ng storm? Hindi si Satan. Hindi kamalasan. Hindi dahil sa galit si God. Hindi hindi hindi. Nagkakamali ka. Pinadala ng Diyos yung storm kasi ayaw ni God na magtagumpay si Jonah na makatungo sa Tarsis dahil pag nangyari yun, lalong titigas ang kanyang puso away from God.

50:15 Sometimes God loves us too much to let us succeed in running away. Titiyakin niyang hindi magtutuloy yon. Parang tatay yan at yung bata. Yung bata nagtatakbo sa highway toos tatay naman anong gagawin tatay. Ha. Ah. Hahatakin niya sabi ah papa nasasaktan sa sa isip ng bata galit na galit sa tatay kasi bakit? Sinasaktan hindi ka niya sinasaktan niligtas ka niya. Alam niyo minsan ganun ang pakiramdam natin pag mahigpit ung tatay tanong ng tanong. O ano ka na? Saan ka na? Kamusta ka na? Nak sobra ka naman. Hindi. Ang totoo diyan protective

51:01 love 'yun eh. ' Ba tinatanong ka inaalam ka kasi mahal yung tao eh. Tama ba? Ganun din minsan yung pinapagalitan mo bakit ganyan ng damit mo? Ayusin mo yung damit mo. Kasi mahal ka ng tao eh. Nakuung minsan nasasaktan tayo kasi parang ang dami namang bawal. Ang dami ng bawal. Nakakainis naman. Hindi hindi naman bawal yun eh. Iniingatan ka niya. nakuha ninyo hindi na siya nagtitiwala sa akin yun ang nasa isip mo pero sa isip nila ikaw pa rin ang baby ng buhay nila ah naintindihan niyo o kaya kayong mga bata huwag kayong magagalit hindi ka sinasaktan ng daddy mo, hindi ka sinasaktan ng mommy mo, mahal na mahal ka nila sometimes what feels

51:47 painful is actually protected love ganun ang ating panginong diyos Tingnan ninyo sabi sa Hebrews, "For those whom the Lord loves, he disciplines." Sino nga? The Lord hates? No, the Lord loves. He disciplined and is gorgeous everyone whom he receives. Hindi niya, "He is gorgeous every whom he rejects." No, whom he receives. Kaya nga sobrang mahal tayo ng Diyos kasi kung hindi niya tayo didisiplinahin, hindi tayo mahal ng Diyos. Naunawaan kung hindi niya tayo pipigilan sa mga kagustuhan natin, kung hindi niya tayo pipigilan sa mga mali nating mga hinahabol sa buhay, hindi tayo niyang mahal. Pero kung mahal niya tayo, pipigilan niya tayo. Masakit man

52:33 sa ating mga damdamin pero kailangang gawin ng Diyos dahil iniingatan niya tayo. Kaya nga tanungin ko sa inyo, have you ever experienced a storm that later become one of God's greatest blessings? Pag-isipan niyo mabuti. Maybe natanggal kayo sa trabaho. Ako hindi ko makalimutan kasi I was kicked out from the ministry. At first iniisip mo pero sa totoo lang when I was kicked out I was so happy because I believe my God so much that he will never allow anything to happen to me for my destruction. And alam niyo dahil natanggal ako sa ibang ministry dinala ako dito sa CCF and praise God na-meet ko kayo. Nakilala ko kayo. 'Di ba? Praise God pinalawak ng

53:19 Diyos ang told mas maraming kaluluang inaabot. What a privilegence ba? Praise God. Naging tao ang itsura ko kasi n busbusin eh. Talagang gusgusin walang pakialam sa buhay. Bakit? Kasi nga ang Diyos yung kala tinanggal ka akala mo ikasasama mo. Hindi pala. Hindi lang yun. Ang daming mga niligtas tayo sa relationships. Mga maling relationship niligtas tayo ng Diyos. Masakit syempre ' ba akala mo noon katapusan na ng buhay pero ngayon pag binabalikan mo buti na lang God protected me. Maybe nagkasakit ka Lord ang labo naman. Ba't ako nagkasakit? Maybe your plans collapse. Maybe your business failed. Maybe at that moment

54:05 you ask, "Lord, bakit?" And years later, you discovered God was not punishing you. He was pursuing you and is pursuing me. Amen po. Because he knows what's best for us. Kaya kung ano man ang pinagdadaanan mo ngayon, don't ever think galit siguro si God sa akin. Hindi. Galit na galit siya sa mga pangyayaring makasisira sa buhay mo. Kaya he's pursuing you. Amen po. Pakisabi mo sa katabi mo. He's pursuing you. Kaya let's continue. Ang sabing ganon. Then the sailors became afraid and everyone cried to his god and they threw the cargo which was in the sheep into the sea to lighten it for them. But Jon had gone below into the hold of the ship lay down and fallen sound. Grabe nagkakagulo na lahat. Takot na takot na

54:52 lahat siya tulog na tulog. Grabe parang katulad ng nag ng iba sa inyo nakakata ingay-ingay dito t's tulog na tulog kitang-kita rito sa taas ba hindi si jona pero alam niyo ba yung disobedience si jona akala mo siya lang no una tulog na tulog na siya hindi na siya nahiya ah kaninong gamit yung pinagtatapon kawawa naman ong mga tao na 'to na pit pinaglalabanan nila nila yung bagyo hirap na hirap na sila basang-basa na sila naintindihan niyo ba 'yun? Ano ibig sabihin non? Ang ganda ng sinabi ni Pastor Peter kaninang umaga sabi niya the consequences of disobedience are never isolated. Hindi lang naman ikaw magdudusa diyan eh. Our disobedience

55:37 impacts the lives of the people around us. Maging ho si Jonas. Tingnan niyo po magugulat ho kayo dito. Sabi niya, "So the captain approached him and said, "Paano ka nakakatulog? Ha? Bumangon ka nga, tumawag ka nga sa Diyos sa Diyos mo. Malahin ang Diyos mo. Concern sa nangyayari sa atin para hindi tayo mag mapahamak." Ang sabi ko sige na magango ka na. 'Di ba? Napaka-ironic noun yung mga hindi naniniwala sa Diyos nagpe-pray. Tapos siya sa yung talagang tagasunod ng Diyos hindi nagpe-pray. Ano ba yan? Is it possible to know so much about God yet slowly lose our sensitivity to God's heart? Posible ba yun? We know so much about the Bible verses pero our hearts can swiftly as in drifting or quietly drifting away from God? Posible ba iyun we become busy but

56:24 no longer broken? O kaya posible ba iyun that we are leading and attending worship every Sunday o kaya leading a Dgroup or serving in a ministry pero yung puso natin ang layo na sa Diyos. Posible pala yun. Maaring active tayo sa maraming bagay but we lost the compassion sa mga tao. Posimple pala 'yun. Yun ang sinasabi ho dito. Kaya pero itong amazing part, naalala ninyo when he explained kung sino siya, the captain called upon the Lord. Kasi ayaw ng itapon siya eh. Ayaw niya itapon. They called upon the Lord and they knew it was God who answered their prayers. Kasi pagkatapon ng pagkatapon tumahimik naging banayad yung panahon. Grabe. And they became believers of God. Kaya itong

57:10 nakaka-amaze mismong ating kabiguan kamalian. Hindi ito excuse sa kasalanan ha. It is a moment to magnify God's grace. A sin abounds, grace abounds. Amen. Kaya alam niyo hindi ko hindi ko sinasabing excuse o pwede na tayong magkasala. Hindi hindi hindi. All the more nahihiya tayo kasi nagkamali ka na nga binibigyan pa ng pagkakataon ng Diyos. King niyo nangyari. And the Lord appointed itinapon na si ano appointed the great fish to follow to swallow Jonah. And Jonah was in the stomach of the fish 3 days and three nights. Nai-imagine niyo ba to? Na tingnan niyo ha. God appointed the storm. God appointed the fish na alam niyo nakakagulat itong fish na 'to.

57:57 Ala ko noon ang miracle 'yung isda sinakmal si ano si si Jonah. Yun ang akala ko okay na buhay siya in 3 days eh. Alam niyo kung ano yung na tinapon siya sa dagat pwede na siyang lunod doon kasi ang lakas ng alo non toos palalim yun. Syempre hindi naman yan pagkatapon yung isda hindi naman ganun kwento eh. Pinadala lang ng Diyos yung isda para i-rescue si Jonah. Rescue yun. Hindi yun ano, rescue si J. Kaya grabe itusan mo. Halimbawa lang kasi nakita ko mismo yung butanding eh. Nung nag under ano kami, nagsi-swimming kami na may butandi. Ang laki pala talaga non parang bus. Hindi o na inutusan ba naman butanding.

58:43 Ligtas mo si Jonas kunin mo. Hm. Lord, hindi ako kumakain ng tao. Plankton lang kinakain ko. Hindi pwede. Hindi mo kakainin. Kukunin mo lang. Ilalagay mo sa katawan mo. Huwag mong lulunukin. Kasi dapat nandun lang siya para iligtas mo nga eh. 'Di ba? 'Yun lang gagawin mo. Okay. Sumunod. Alam mo masunurin ano, buti pa 'yung isda masunurin 'yung tao. Ang tigas ng ulo. 'Di ba? Napansin niyo ba 'yun? Tapos nandun no sa loob pansin niyo grabe 'yung butanding ano kina ano na sinakmal na t's ito na ang magandang nangyari.

59:29 Sabi niya, "And then Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from the stomach of the fish." Na sa lahat ng pagkaka hindi siya nag-pray nung bumili ng ticket. Hindi siya nag-pray sa loob ng barko. Hindi siya nag-pray habang Hindi siya nag-pray habang bumabagyo. Ngayon napa-pray siyang bigla doon pa sa loob ng tiyan ng butanding. Sorry ha. Hindi naman talaga butanding. Baka sabihin niyo saan mo nakuha ni pastor yun? Wala naman sa Bible yun. Wala talaga. Ini-imagine ko lang na 'yun 'yung isda. Nakuha ninyo kasi ang laki guys. Nakakita kasi ako talaga ng butanding. Ang laki talaga eh. Pero kaya posible. Pero marami na will eh. Ang hirap naman ng will kasi mamalya 'yun eh. Eh isda eh. Great fish eh. Ngayon sabi sabi nila hindi naman totoo 'yan

1:00:14 kasi ano ang dami ng pag-aaway-away. Naku huwag na tayong magtalo-talo diyan. Basta ang alam ko pinaniwalaan ni Jesus yan. Sabi niya si Jonas nasa sa tiyan ng ng ano isda ng tatlong gabi. Tatlong araw tatlong gabi. Ganun din ang anak ng Diyos. Bapa ' ba nakuhan ninyo? So kung si Jesus kinik ano kino-coat yun aba maniniwala ako kay Jesus kasi nabuhay siya magmuli eh. Kung hindi siya na buhay magmuli hindi ko papansinin 'yun. dahil bu siya magmuli, meron siyang kredibilidad na totoo yung kanyang sinasabi. Are you following? Kaya balik tayo dito. So tingnan niyo ha. Grabe hindi siya for the first time he prayed. Sometimes God removes every other option until we discover he has always been enough. Pag natanggal na lahat doon lang natin

1:01:00 maintindihan. Ay wala talaga akong ibang pag-asa kundi ang Diyos. ' Balik din siya ulit sa Lord. Pray siya. Minsan kahit ang tigas ng ulo natin pag dumating na tayo sa punto na parang wala na tayong mapanghahawakan ayun mapapa-pray na talaga tayo 'di ba? Ngayon ito ho then I descended to the roots of the mountains the earth kung yun ang nangyari sa kanya ibig sabihin sa ilalim ng kailiman ng dagat inabot niya and the earth with its bars was around me forever but you brought up my life from the pit. Paano inangat ni Lord? Sa pamamagitan ng isda. niyo and oh Lord my God then while I was fainting away I remember the Lord and my prayer came

1:01:45 to you into your holy temple habang siya talagang walangwala ng energy. Grabe I remember the Lord. Pagka naalala niya sa Lord he remember the temple. Ano iyung significance ng temple? Remember that's the meeting place with God the ark of the covenant. And in the Bible in the New Testament Jesus is the fulfillment of the temple. Destroy this body this temple in 3 days I will rebuild it. Kaya nga there is no other way for people to be saved but through Jesus. And indeed si Jonah kinonfirm niya yun. Tingnan niyo. Verse 9. But I will sacrifice to you with the voice of thanksgiving that which I have vowed I will pay. Salvation is from the Lord.

1:02:32 Amen. Now bakit po yan ang testimony nating lahat. We are not saved because we're good. We are not saved because we deserved it. We're saved because God is compassionate. Because God is merciful. Hindi dahil napakabait natin. Bakit importante yan? Kasi alam niyo minsan kaya ayaw nating umabot sa ibang tao, they don't deserve it. Hindi naman sila mabait. Masasamang tao sila. Ba't ko sila seseran ng gospel? Ba dapat lang mapunta sila sa impyerno ba isipin mo kung niloko ka hindi ka binayaran sa utang parang h mo siya imperno ka diyan ' ba. O kaya naman binastos ka, ininsulto ka. Minsan gusto sige na lang. Mas parusahan sila ng Diyos. Pero hindi salvation is from the

1:03:18 Lord. So anong pagmamanaki natin? Tayong lahat hwag tayong mag Huwag nating kakalimutan that we were saved. Wala tayong what we do not deserve anything from God. Nakuha ninyo? Isipin lang ninyo. Sino ba tayo para gamitin ang Diyos? Sino tayo para para kalingain ng Diyos? Tingnan niyo lang yung sarili niyo sa salamin. Malalaman niyo na na parang pagsasawaan niyo pati sarili natin eh. Napansin niyo ba? Minsan sa Lord parang ayoko na yan ko na matyagaan sarili ko eh. Parang ito na naman ako kaya naalala ko yung kantang stubborn love eh. Caught again your faithless friend ' ba ba parang hindi ka ba napapagod sa mga parang seemingly walang kakwenta-kwentang I'm sorry ba? Pero ganon tayo eh. Pero God saved us. Kaya

1:04:05 nga sabi ng Lord alam mo men of Ninva will stand up with this generation of judgment and condemn it because they repented at the preaching of Jonah. And behold, something greater than Jonah is here. You know what Jesus is saying? Jonah was thrown into the sea because of his own disobedience. Sa tigas ng ulo niya kaya tinap siya sa dagat. But I willingly entered death because of your disobedience, because of our disobedience. Jonah was rescued by a fish. Jesus was not rescued from the cross. Nobody rescued him from the cross. He stayed there. Bakit? Because he was pursuing you. He was pursuing me because God wants to save us. He doesn't want us to suffer. Kaya kung minsan tinatanong natin, "Lord, nasan ka? Lord,

1:04:51 nasan ka? Parang iniwan mo na ba ako? Wala ka bang pakialam sa buhay ko?" Friends, if we are experiencing that, tandaan mo to. Hindi ka pinaparusahan ng Diyos. Pinupurs ka ng Diyos because God compassion never gives up. Even when we run, listen to this, our God runs faster. Kaya aabutan at aabutan ka. Tingnan mo yung katabi mo. Naabutan na. Kaya is there an area in your life where youve been running from God? Meron ba marahil relationships na sabi ng Diyos give up mo na yan. Or maybe unforgiven hurt. Maybe a ministry. God is calling you to

1:05:37 a ministry but you keep you keep on running. Maybe God has a calling for you and since you've been hiding, naku, listen to this. Don't wait for a bigger storm. The God who's calling you today is the God who loves you deeply. His pursuit isn't driven by anger. Hindi yan dahil sa galit sa sayo. It's It's always driven by compassion. But here's the amazing part. After everything Jonah did, after all the running, after all the disobedience, hindi pa rin tapos ang Diyos para sa kanya. You would think, "Oh, surely youl choose another prophet." 'Di ba? Pili ka

1:06:22 na ng bagong prophet. Matindi si God because our God specializes in second chances. Tingnan niyo paano? Because our God, God's compassion is transforming. Hindi niya binabago niya tayo. Kunyari kung naranasan mo bang parang bumagsak ka talagang sadsaran na maisip mo parang na siguro ako gagamitin ng Diyos. Palpak ako eh. Hindi na siguro ako magagamit ng panginoon. Palpak ako wala akong kwalifikasyon. Sino may qualification? God is not calling for qualified. He he qualifies he called. ' ba ganun ang paalala sa atin ng Diyos no? Alam niyo po kung kilalang-kilala niyo ako, alam niyo 'yung nakaraan ko, alam niyo kung anong klaseng buhay meron ako, palagay ko hindi rin kayo makikinig sa akin.

1:07:10 Hindi kayo makikinig sa isang tricycle driver. Hindi kayo makikinig sa isang diaryo boty. Hindi kayo makikinig sa isang magnanakaw. Magnanakaw sa sa mga groceries. Hindi kayo makikinig sa mga manloloko kahit sa sariling kapatid. Hindi ka mang makikinig sa isang immoral. Naintindihan niyo po ibig sabihin? I have no qualification. Pero sa awa ng Diyos. Sa awa ng Diyos. Kaya ho pag iniisip ko lagi it's a great privilege to be part of his team. Minsan inisip natin siguro hindi na ako gagamitin Diyos because of my moral failure, because of my broken relationships, a season when we drifted away or maybe because I'm so tired, ayoko na, pagod na ako. Can I just

1:07:55 encourage you today? Buti na sinagot niya ng Diyos sa Jonah chapter 3. Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah the second time saying anong sinasabi niya, "Lord, hindi ako nagbago ng plano, Jonah. Hindi hindi ka hindi kita papalitan. Ikaw pa rin ang gagamitin ko. Hindi ko babaguhin ang assignment mo. Pupunta ka pa rin sa nini. Hindi ko parang hindi ko sabihin ah disqualified ka na. Doon ka na lang mapadala sa ibang lugar. Walang kakwenta-kwentang propeta na. Hindi ganon si God. Nakuha ninyo si God grabe parang hindi mo ako sinusuko. Hindi talaga. Kaya alam niyo mga pinipili ng Diyos nakakagulat. Si William Curry. Ano karapatan ni William Curry para maging father of modern mission? Eh alam niyo

1:08:41 po bang hindi pa siya sapatero, assistant ng sapatero. 'Yun ang kanyang trabaho. Anong kakayanan niyan? To minister to the other countries? Anong kakayanan niyan? To minister to other nationalities? Anong kakayanan niyan? But God gave him the burden na siya po ang naging ama ng modern mission. Si si J Hudson Taylor, sino naman yan? Eh luko-loko din 'yan eh. Pero alam ginawa ng Diyos hindi pa walang willing to go to China but God used him mightily in China maraming naging Christian dahil sa kanyang ministry ba grabe si Judson Taylor kaya pag inisip niyo ng mabuti, wow. Alam niyo dito isang bagay na huwag niyong kakalimutan. The world often measures influence by what? By

1:09:28 popularity but God measures ano influence by what? By faithfulness. kasunod ka kaya in Jonah 234 then Jonah began to goes through the city one day's walk and he cried out and said yet 40 days and Ninive will be overthrown what a message. Alam niyo kung anong message niya? Simpleng simple lang yung one day's walk na yon. Hindi sinasabi ganun lang kaliit. Normally para makunan mo yung pinakalungsod pa lang eh talagang mahabang dakbayin. Pero in one day's walk, dumating si sa kalagitnaan, isipin niya walang kasama siya lang mag-isa. Walang army, walang walang mag-i-introduce sa kanya. Bigla na nagpakita, "Yet 40 days Ninva will be overthrown." Yun lang ang message,

1:10:14 ha. Yun lang ang message. O yun lang. Walang powerpo walang outline. Paano yun? Grabe naman. At ang nakakagulat, nag-repent sila. ' Ba minsan may ganon tayong pakiramdam. Walang man lang siyang illustration, wala man langung maging ano ka muna, maging mahinahong ka muna. Hindi hindi hindi. Galit na rin lang naman siya eh. Patay kayong lahat 40 days. Ganun lang. Sabi niya, "Naku po ' ba minsan Lord ayoko mo. Paano mo magshe-share ng gospel? Hindi naman ako marunong Lord hindi ako magsalita." Alam niyo kapatid wala sa kakayanan mo because the power has never been in the preacher. The power has always been in God's word

1:11:00 working through God's spirit. Nakapagsalita ako sa iba't ibang bansa. Engglesero. Nakuha ninyo hindi ako magaling mag-english. Pogi lang ako. Joke lang yun ha. Baka maniwala kayo. Pero makukumbinse ko rin kayo kahit hindi totoo ba parang wow Lord ano naman ang ano naman Lord ang kwalipikasyon ko hindi naman ako nangyari sa prestiyosong paaralan. Naalala ko ag nagtatanong ako sa mga pastor saan nag-aral si ganito? Ah nagH Harvard yan ha. Sabi ay ano yan magnaudi sa UP yan ha ay top na ano yan ang taas ng posisyon yan sa ganitong lugar ha

1:11:48 sabi niya hindi eh saan ka galing haapaha ka na lang eh Lord ba't tatanungin niyo ako hwag na hwag na niyo tanungin pero alam simple lang sinasabi ng Diyos hindi naman issu I'm not gifted enough eloquent enough I don't I don't know enough Bible ayokong mag-attend sa group baka tanungin Ako wala akong alam. Hindi naman yun ang issue eh. Hindi naman yan ang issue. Ang issue yung Diyos na sinusundan natin because God isn't looking for impressive people. He's looking for what? Available people and humble enough to submit to God. Are you following? Kaya kaya nga sinasabi ko sa inyo kanina yung mga tao na seemingly walang kwalifikasyon and yet God used them mightily. Now tingan niyo pa. Then

1:12:34 look at the words. The people of Ninva believed in God. Sa simpleng message na iyon, they believe in God and they called the fast and put a sackl from the greatest to the least. Meaning mula sa hari hanggang sa pinakamababa pati mga hayop nag-repent. O kasama hayop nag-fasting din. Sabi ko,
