Hindi mo kailangang pilitin ang isang tao na maniwala kay HESUS. Lahat tayo may choice. Huwag mong ipagpilitan ang ayaw.

Lahat ng tao sa mundo may kanya kanyang paniniwala. Iba iba man tayo ng relihiyon, iba iba man tayo ng denominasyon, kailangan parin nating matutunan ang salitang "RESPETO". Hindi mo rin dapat pilitin ang isang tao na maniwala kay Lord, na magsimba, na mag devotion, na pumunta ng cell group, na pumunta ng prayer meeting, na gumawa ng ganito, ng ganyan, kasi sa ginagawa mo pinagmumukha mo ang isang tao na puppet. Huwag ganun.

Having a relationship with JESUS is very personal, ang nangyayari kasi ngayon instead of converting people to CHRIST, we often convert people to our religion, to our denomination, to the way we worship the Lord, to our church, to be this and like that.

First of all, if a person is really willing, he or she will do it for God, that person will serve God wholeheartedly at hindi dahil napilitan lang, hindi dahil pinagsabihan mo. It is better to be true to yourself ika nga. Kaysa magpanggap na ganito na ganyan, alam ni Lord ang lahat sa iyo at wala kang maitatago sa kanya.

Let me tell you a story...

When I was staying in Cebu, my cousin invited me to join their ministry which is also a Born Again Christian Ministry. lilinawin ko lang, Born Again Christian is not a religion, nor a denomination, its an identity in Christ. Kasi maraming tao ang mistakenly associated Born Again Christians to a religion which is a very big No no.

Born Again Christians focus more on having a relationship with JESUS. It's an identity in Christ.

Aaminin ko, I am a Catholic but my identity is in Christ and I am a born again Christian. I focus more on my relationship with JESUS. Hindi ko sinasamba ang mga Santo na made up of cement or wood, direct to God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit ako kung akoy nagdarasal ang it's my choice so you have to respect it.

Kung sinasamba mo o hindi ang mga santo na gawa sa kahoy o semento, choice mo yan and I respect you.

To continue the story, at first burning with passion yung pagseserve ko kay Lord sa church na ipinakilala sakin ng pinsan ko, pero dumating sa point na people are manipulating me to do this and that. May time nga na na judge ako ng pinsan ko dahil hindi ako naka attend ng cell group at nasaktan ako sa sinabi niya na hindi daw ako makakamoveforward sa buhay ko kung ganito ang iaasal ko. Na down ako sa sinabi niya. Hindi ko na rin binasa yung iba pang text niya saakin dahil madadown lang ako. Kung sino pa yung malapit sayo sila pa yung mag dodown sa iyo.

First, I admit , marami na rin akong pagkakamali kay Lord pero wala tayong husgahan ang isang tao dahil hindi lang siya nakapag devotion, nakarating sa cellgroup, nakapagsimba o gumawa ng ganito o ganyan. We all have reasons, and it's not good to judge a person base on what he/she can or can't do.

Na turn off rin ako dahil parang ang naging dating sa akin ay naging "manipulative" ang pinsan ko sa akin nung mga time na yun at na judge niya ako, at nasaktan ako. Kaya hayun nag sorry siya sa akin at napatawad ko naman siya. Hindi rin ako at HOME sa church nila and I questioned a lot kung bakit kailangang mag tithes para lang makabili ng kotse ang Pastor, I know its for good use but why use tithing to buy a car? Pinaghihirapan dapat yun hindi hinihingi sa mga ka church member, that's why I decided to leave and it's my choice.

But I pray na wala na ngayon sa church nila ang sistemang ganun. Before kasi noong college pa ako may nasalihan din akong Born Christian Org. sa school namin in the name of "Lakas Angkan Ministry Inc.", we never use tithes to buy a car for pastors kaya nagtataka talaga ako kung bakit ganun sa kabila.

If you are not at Home anymore and you are not growing anymore, don't settle for less.

Na realize ko rin na I feel at Home most when I am spending my time with JESUS at totoo nga some people will look down on you, but Jesus will never look down on you. People will label you with this and that but you don't have to settle for their standards because you know that you are a CHILD OF GOD, your worth is found in CHRIST ALONE and not with what useless words that people told you. MAHAL na MAHAL ka ni LORD.

Instead of focusing on how to convert people to your religion, denomination, to do this and that. Convert them to CHRIST. JESUS is the one that we are following, not religion, not denomination and etc.

We are the light of this world, share the light that JESUS has given you but don't force people to believe you. Those who are truly called with God will listen and hear.
