Brad, discipleship not disciplechix. 🫢

Do not chase what’s naturally comes, like how Eve naturally comes in the life of Adam, in God’s perfect timing.

Napaka Familiar na natin sa kuwento ni Nicodemus and Jesus Christ Conversation.. NGUNIT!! Itatalakay at hihimayin ang storyang ito.

Si Nicodemus ay isang Jewish Leader/Pharisee na kasama sa Council of Sanhedrin

Sanhedrin ay isang ancient Jewish Supreme Council and Court of Justice.
Composed of 70 or 71 Elders, Scribes at mga High Priest. Merun silang kapangyarihan over politics, judicial, and religious authority.
Kilala rin sila sa paghawak nang Trial kay Jesus.

Si Nicodemus ay nakipagkita kay Jesus nang Gabi dahil para maiwasan nya na magawan nang isyu sa lugar at sa council na kinabibilangan nya.
Dito na mismo binuksan ni Jesus ang usapang " Born Again"/ "Born from Above" at kalaunan binuod niya ang lahat nang ito: Ang pagtiwala sa Anak ay mabibigyan nang Buhay na Walang Hanggan; Mahal nang Dios ang Sanlibutan at pinadala nya ang kanyang nag-iisang Anak (John 3:16-17)

Ito mga metaphor na ginamit ni Kristo: ✅

* Birth ( Born Again/ Born of Water and spirit)

* Light vs Darkness

* Believe/Faith

* Lifted up ( Moses's Serpent/ The Son lifted up)

* Eternal Life vs Condemnation

Ang Interpretasyon rito ay:

❗BORN AGAIN IS URGENT!

Hinde tinatawag ni Jesucristo si Nicodemus sa pagbago nang kanyang moral, subalit ina-ayaya niya sa bagong buhay na binago nang Espiritu ng Dios.

❗BORN OF WATER AND THE SPIRIT?? BAPTISM, BIRTH, OR BOTH??

Matagal na usapan ito nang mga Kristiyano.

Ang iba turing nila rito ay isang Idiom!

Ang Iba naman ay isang Inter-link between Spirit renewal at Believer's Baptist.

❗Ang Central point❗
Ang Pisikal ay hinde makakapunta sa Kaharian; Ang espiritu na binago nang Dios ang makakapasok. 📍

❗ Faith in the Son is the wisest and Decisive response ❗

John 3:16-18; Dito dinikdik ni John na ang Paniniwala kay Jesucristo ay isang kasagutang makakatiyak nang Buhay na walang hanggan at ang pagtanggi nito sa Anak ay Kahatulan ang dala.

✅Salvation is Gracious (God's Love) and receive by Faith✅

So: Trust ⟶ Relationship ⟶ Transformation

❗Scope and Substitutional Lifting Up❗

Ang Typology ni Moses/Serpent ay points out to Jesus being lifted up to the cross to bring renewal of Spirit and Life!

📍Isang Foreshadow/Pakitain nang Crucifixion and Exaltation.
God's Love with the reality of Human Judgment 📍

❓❓So Anong 4 na bagay na matutunan natin rito❓❓

1️⃣. Examine my Spiritual Birth
- Nagtitiwala ka pa ba kay Christ as an ongoing Lord?? Or Nagpapaka reliyoso ka lang sa ngalan nang inaaniban mo?

❗📍-By Faith We are BORN AGAIN!❗📍

2️⃣. Live as One born of the Light:
Kung nag profess ka na nang Faith mo, sinasabi na mismo ni Bibliya na maging Transparent tayo (huwag nang matago sa Dilim)

✅Love the World sacrificially, and witnessing about Christ✅

❗📍 By Faith We come to the Light ❗📍

3️⃣ I must Preach the Gospel as Love ➕ warning ⚠️

Emphasize natin ang pagmamahalan nang Dios (3:16) at ang pangangailangang sa pagtiwala kay Kristo (3:18)

❗📍 By Faith We look to the Lifted-up Savior❗📍

4️⃣. Reassess Sacramental Practice with Humility.

Icelebrate natin ang ating Spiritual Birthday nung pagtanggap natin kay Kristo at ating Baptism.

Ito nag maliwanag na senyales of Inward work of the Spirit✅

❗📍 By Faith We received God's Great Love ❗📍

“Choose God, and let God choose for you.” ⭐️

A love story orchestrated by God’s will is like an organic encounter that puts everything in order; you simply have to follow where He leads. 🌻

Continuous persecution and the k!ll!ng of Christians are happening right now in Nigeria. ‼️

Beloved, let us come before the Lord with reverence and urgency. In moments like these, our greatest weapon is not our strength, but our prayers.

Let us lift our voices to heaven—earnestly, faithfully, and without ceasing.
May the Lord surround His people in Nigeria with His comfort, His protection, and His mighty hand of deliverance.

May He strengthen their hearts, uphold their faith, and shine His light upon them in this valley of suffering.

Let us pray as though their lives depend on it… because they do.

Psalm 34:17 KJV "The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles."

Psalm 59:1-2 KJV "Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise up against me. Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men."

Is giving a sensitive topic to people?
Well, sadly, yes, because people would rather "receive than give," but not all people. There are still some people with the spirit of a giver; some are occasional givers when it's in a time of need or occasion, like perhaps charity to disaster victims. That's not bad, but it's just sad that you would only give on occasional events. There are people who are "cheerful givers" or "consistent givers," not only in the churches, but even outside the churches, as in some aren't even "Christians" to begin with, but they're very "cheerful & consistent" in their "giving." To where?

Well, they invest a lot in some harmful inventions, some in researching vain discoveries, and some in charismatic secular puppets that only become a BAD INVESTMENT.

While some others are all pouring everything into LIES, DECEIT, and ABOMINATIONS, adding fuel to Hell's fire, I don't have to name them; perhaps you can guess who they are. It's 4 words that start with a capital "C" with a "T," in plural, and an "S." Sometimes they're called in 7 words that start with a capital "H," end with "c," add "S" in plural and "al" in addressing it.

And the first ones I named, one is 8 words starts with a capital "B" ends in two small "s" then the last is one that starts with a capital "P" ends to "c" or ad "al" or "ian" in addressing it, the second one is something that many "scholastics" waste time in vanities on the Babylonian library.

But Barnabas, what made his giving different?

Didn't Ananias & Wife do the same giving of sold property like Barnabas? Yes, but read the next chapter: they have lied to God, which led them to their death!

While Barnabas didn't hold back anything from God, you look into the verse, and he's a Levite. Isn't that the priesthood of the Temple? Why would an Old Testament priest whose duty is for O.T. ministry would give to the New Testament ministry? He could've instead put the Temple to go to the hands of corrupt Bible-correcting Pharisees, scribes, and hypocrites, but he didn't, not because he knew the corruption of the Pharisees, though it's possible it was already common knowledge at that time about the hypocrites before, during, and after Christ's resurrection, but because he knew what's right and where to give, the true work of God.

The Lord had blessed this faithful giver's heart that he called him to be one of the Apostles in Acts, whom God mightily used to carry a Church. The rejected Saul of Tarsus became the Apostle Paul, and God used this faithful giver to bring a young revived backslider, John Mark, from being rejected by Paul to later being recommended by Paul. And in the end, although Paul didn't mention Barnabas the same way he mentioned Mark in 2nd Timothy, I believe perhaps the Lord has already given theabas what character that Paul doesn't have to repeat because the Holy Spirit has already recorded the faithful service of this man:

From giving faithfully for the cause of the early Church in Acts, to vouching for a rejected Paul/Saul of Tarsus, to being the faithful man who led John Mark to hammer out a testimony of faith.

Barnabas is a faithful man that not only Paul & Mark would look up to, but even the churches should look up to, because he wasn't just a "cheerful giver" in giving support for the church's needs, but also he gave himself to be of use for God's glory in producing a faithful Paul and a faithful Mark, and perhaps there were other faithful Christians born out of the faithful service of Barnabas somewhere in Cyprus where he ministered with Mark, and wherever the Lord has used him to be a blessing, not only in cheerful giving, but also in giving his life to inspire others to faithfulness.

Having land, he sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the apostles' feet."

Good stories are built up by many ups and downs.💯

Your burden right now will someday become a great testimony that will inspire and encourage many—if we do not give up today. It’s okay to be afraid and scared in life’s challenges, but always choose to face them anyway. By faith and through prayer, we can achieve success and understand the purpose behind our struggles.

As we know from many characters in the Bible who faced different challenges according to their situations, we can learn from their ups and downs and from their testimonies. Because they faced their challenges, their lives became greater testimonies that still speak to us today—encouraging and inspiring us.

So always remember: the greater the test, the greater the testimony. Do not give up, and by faith we can overcome.

Jeremiah 29:11 KJV
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

Romans 8:28 KJV
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Meditate to gain knowledge, but participate to gain wisdom. 💯

Knowledge will be stuck and just be wasted if you do not apply it, so make yourself participate, get involved, take some risks, and challenge the knowledge you gain.

In whatsoever area or criteria of knowledge you gain, it loses its value if there will be no application of it. Do things for purpose and advocacy, not just for money. Remember, all sorts of wealth will naturally come when knowledge converts into wisdom.

Spiritual growth requires ministry involvement.
Monetary wealth requires risk and investment.
A healthy body requires exercise and nourishment.

Application of knowledge is important to convert it into wisdom. There is no such thing as a wise man without experience.

Proverbs 16:16 KJV
How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!

Proverbs 17:24 KJV
Wisdom is before him that hath understanding; but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth.

Proverbs 14:24 KJV
The crown of the wise is their riches: but the foolishness of fools is folly.

GOD'S MESSAGE FOR YOU:

When I was young, I used to watch a movie through television, where we had a cable connection. This movie is from Disney and is entitled "Meet the Robinsons," about a protagonist named Lewis who was in the future with his friend Wilbur, his future son. Lewis dropped a question while fixing the time machine where he said, "What if I can't fix this? What are we going to do?" Wilbur answered, "Keep moving forward." Lewis got upset because he always said, "Keep moving forward," although he didn't understand, and so Wilbur encouraged him and shared an example of his father's inventions. It shows that he moved forward; he may have made lots of mistakes from his work through invention, but he never gave up.

Actually, the quote "Keep moving forward" originated with the late Walt Disney; it appeared at the end of the movie. Here's what Walt Disney said:

"Around here, however, we don't look backwards for very long. We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious...and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths."

Now, in our main text, the apostle states this, as he never counts himself from it because he kept moving by faith. Though he may have had different afflictions in his life as a missionary, he knows that his days are numbered, but he remains faithful because he never lets his past go down.

There are three things to keep moving forward:

1. FORWARD THROUGH LEAVING THE PAST.
In the main text it said, "forgetting those which are behind..." The apostle had a past where he murdered the Christians as a persecutor, like what happened to Stephen. But when he found Jesus on the road to Damascus, he faced him and got blind. He brought Ananias to heal Paul from his blindness and pray. Then, Paul forgets those whom he left behind and takes his calling. He was never allowed to move by the future dangers, and he knew that his days were numbered. He experienced shipwreck, imprisonment, and persecution, but he kept forward by faith. When we accept Jesus Christ as our personal Savior, we must forget our old things, for we are a new creature (2 Cor 5:17). When we have Christ, turn back your sin. Leave the past because you cannot move forward while looking backward. You may have past experience: past pains, past afflictions, missed opportunities, and past failures, but we must refuse to let yesterday define tomorrow.

2. FORWARD THROUGH REACHING THE GOAL.
In the main text, it said, "and reaching forth unto those things which are before"; we are reaching our goal through faith. What goal were we expecting? Our goal is to reach souls around the world and to fulfill for God's glory. It takes prayer, obeying God's command and His word, and walking and following Christ. Just like what the apostle said in Acts 20:24, "None of these things move me," because he has a course to finish with joy. All of us have different courses; this course is to testify to the gospel of the grace of God. All of us have experienced mistakes, but don't let your mistakes pull you away from the Lord. Apostle Paul remains strong in the Lord, not his own, as he said in Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ, which strengtheneth me."

3. FORWARD THROUGH PRESSING ON.
You are not alone with your struggles, but the Bible reminds us to remain faithful and keep on. As it said in verse 14:

Philippians 3:14 KJVS
I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Choose to press on despite the obstacles and challenges. Philippians 3:14 is not about earthly recognition like titles or positions, even in your ministry that you had, but it is about spiritual perseverance. The context "high calling" refers to Christ Himself, not about the church role. It is about your faithfulness and obedience to the Lord. The apostle didn't say "I drift," but he said "I press," which means he keeps forward by faith. Our goal is Christ, because He is worth every step.

I believe many people are afraid of mistakes, but as believers, it is a test of faith to us. Faith requires obedience, but partial obedience is still disobedience. The world offers earthly rewards, but Christ offers eternal prizes. We are expecting His coming, and when He comes again, He will say, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant." When we fall down, keep moving forward; don't go backward! Learn from your mistakes and embrace the new opportunity. Apostle Paul never allowed himself to go backward; he fought the good fight of faith. Press on! For we kept the faith.

THE GRACE OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST BE WITH YOU ALL. AMEN
(Romans 16:24).

DEVOTION BREAK | FORWARD BY FAITH
Philippians 3:13-14 KJVS
Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
[14] I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Your child represents you. ✅

Parents, even if you have enough wealth to enroll your kid in an exclusive Christian school, still, it cannot resolve, fix, and teach what needs to be taught in the household, which is manners.

To be a good parent is not just about providing all the essentials for the family but also teaching your kids how to show good manners, the right attitude, and respect for others. Spending most of our time pursuing wealth is not bad, but always make time with your kids, and try to listen to their choices of words, watch their behaviors, and observe their thinking, and most importantly, discipline when needed.

Loving your child is not just about providing them everything they need but also chastening them when discipline is needed. Nowadays, in the time when even little kids can have access to the phone and internet, these things becomemajor contributors to the developing behavior of the children. Discipline is the key as early as possible; make them dependent on you, not on the phone, and encourage them to ask you questions instead of them interacting with the internet.

In Tagalog we say, “Mahirap patinuin ang batang walang matinong tahanan, at hindi kayang solusyunan ng paaralan ang bagay na dapat sa bahay natututunan.”

Remember, after all, your child represents you, and it will never be the fault of the child to be foolish at an early age, but to remain in it is the fault of the parents.

Proverbs 22:15 KJV: “Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.”

Proverbs 22:6 KJV “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”

Disclaimer: This is just a personal opinion based on my personal experience; this statement doesn’t aim to attack anyone but to remind everyone, and it is a reminder not just for the parents but for the future parents as well.
