COVENANT OF AN EVERLASTING LOVE


A Covenant is a signed written agreement between two or more parties to perform some action. 

The Bible defines Covenant as an Agreement between God and His people in which God make certain promises and requires certain behavior from us in return. As a backgrounder, turn your Bible in Genesis Chapter 9:8-17 to fully understand and comprehend the Everlasting Covenant God made between us and Him.

Genesis 9:1-17


1 Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth. 
2 The fear and dread of you will fall on all the beasts of the earth, and on all the birds in the sky, on every creature that moves along the ground, and on all the fish in the sea; they are given into your hands. 
3 Everything that lives and moves about will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything. 
4 “But you must not eat meat that has its lifeblood still in it. 
5 And for your lifeblood I will surely demand an accounting. I will demand an accounting from every animal. And from each human being, too, I will demand an accounting for the life of another human being. 
6 “Whoever sheds human blood, by humans shall their blood be shed; for in the image of God has God made mankind. 
7 As for you, be fruitful and increase in number; multiply on the earth and increase upon it.” 
8 Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him: 
9 “I now establish my covenant with you and with your descendants after you 
10and with every living creature that was with you—the birds, the livestock and all the wild animals, all those that came out of the ark with you—every living creature on earth. 
11 I establish my covenant with you: Never again will all life be destroyed by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth.” 
12 And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: 
13 I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. 
14 Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, 
15 I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. 
16 Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.”

17 So God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant I have established between me and all life on the earth.”

COMPLETE SET OF FEET

Our feet works harder than what we think of. It brings us to lovely places we never been to. The feet carry our body weight all day out all day in. Though tired but never complained.   I was reminded of the song "Foot Prints On The Sands." Where most of the time the songwriter always noticed that there are two sets of footprints on the sand. Suddenly, the lowest point of his time came, at his amazement, there were only one set of footprints on the sands. He complained, because he thought God leave him. A voice from heaven was heard, "My son I never leave you. Yes, there was only one set of footprints on the sand the reason for that is that I carry you." This true to life story made me think that the complete set of feet is not one but two and we must always think this way.

"SALUBONG" - SEMANA SANTA 2019

I WAS RAISED AS ROMAN CATHOLIC BY MY PARENTS. WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL, I WAS CONVERTED TO BAPTIST. THEN MY JOURNEY AS A BIBLE BELIEVER AND MY CURIOSITY TO KNOW RELIGION BECOMES STRONGER.  I FOUND MYSELF STUDYING THE BIBLE IN BETHANY BAPTIST BIBLE COLLEGE IN DIAN ST. MAKATI CITY. THERE, I FINISHED MY BASIC BIBLE COURSE. THEN I PURSUE MY BACHELOR OF THEOLOGY DEGREE IN CENTRAL BIBLE COLLEGE. I ALSO TOOK SPECIAL COURSES IN PRESBYTERIAN THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY WHERE I FINISH MY SPECIAL COURSE IN THEOLOGY. I HEARD ABOUT "SALUBONG" DURING SEMANA SANTA, AND MAYBE, JUST MAYBE, SEEN THIS DURING MY CHILDHOOD BUT MY MEMORIES HAS BEEN ERASED BY SO MANY NEW INPUTS ENTERED TO MY BRAIN. FROM A REFORMED CATHOLIC VIEW AND FROM WHAT I WITNESSED THIS MORNING, LET ME TELL YOU THE STORY OF THE "SALUBONG".  THE WHOLE CHRISTIANITY WAS SADDENED BY THE NEWS OVER THE DEATH OF JESUS CHRIST THROUGH CRUCIFIXION MUCH MORE MARY THE MOTHER OF JESUS BEAR THE PAIN.
