Philip and Chette Friendster Blog

After Church service, We had a great lunch with our newly friend-sister in Christ (also a chemist @.@ *bows down to her* just kidding!) Sis.Nikki. It was an accident though, I never thought she  rode the same jeep, that we rode going to SM City Clark. We had a great sunday and the preaching is about “Discipling Nations.” (LOL. I realize my calling is not just locally but internationally…but in God’s timing) hehe. Anyway we ate at Ikabud, Philip showed the restaurant and we stayed there for about 3 hours! would you believe that? just chatting here and there and chatting about life, about God. She really loves God and we can really feel that she’s an amazing person (so we are excited to get to know her more.)

But the most unforgatable conversation (dami na kasi hehe) we had that time (well for me) is when Philip said, “God design people to take interests in things that are growing. People like to see things that are improving. It’s because that is how God design us.”

I guess that is why I became addicted to “Farmville” hehe. Here’s  my farm ^^ I love seeing how these seeds turn into fruits or vegetables. I love seeing how they grow and improve.

This game is really addicting. But you don’t have to be online all the time to monitor them. There’s seed where it grows after 2 to 3 days.. and it teaches more about time management and it analyses how you handle things. My farm’s name is “God and I” ^^ hehehe…

So God doesn’t just want us to “stop” like, once you accepted Jesus as your personal Savior then “stop”. No. You have to become mature. No baby stayed baby forever. Sooner or later (even though you will lie about your age, you will continue to grow… ouch hahaha!) and… even you stop living your life, in reality you’re still ageing. So God wants us to be more productive. He doesn’t say, “Hey kid. Here’s your vision. Then Stop.” Once a vision is being fullfilled, another vision comes.

So don’t stop growing. Be more productive. Grabbed all the oppurtunities and chances God is giving you. Study, Work and serve God wholeheartedly in whatever Ministry God has called you ^^ 

Also please continue to pray for the Ondoy’s victim in Manila and also remember to donate if you can, because Faith without works is dead. So grabbed the oppurtunity to help, whether is it through cash, text (donate your load), donate dress, food or physically help those who will go there to distribute the relief goods.

7 years

… on October 09, 2009… Philip and I will celebrate our seven (7) years in Christianity. And according to the Jewish tradition… Jubilee is being celebrated after 25th or  50th year.. but in the Bible (Biblical meaning of Jubilee), especially in Deuteronomy rather than waiting for the 50th year, the Deuteronomic code requires the slaves be liberated during their 7th year of service. And seeing what we are right now… It’s really a great timing Jubilee is a time to rest, a time of refreshing, a time of cancelation of debts, time to retrieve the land, a time of God’s goodness and faithfulness.

And It’s been happening in our lives right now, How?

1. Time to Rest and Refreshing -  We left the other Church and God led us into a new church, where we feel so refresh and since, we are plain members we are resting for now and just focusing on our lives.

2. Cancelation of debts - Financial blessings are overflowing, many of my debts were already been paid up and some were canceled due to favor from above.

3. Time to retrieve the land -  The land that I own, came back to me. I thought I could not retrieve it anymore but I did retrieve it. Because God gave it back. He saw how much I sacrifice my time and life before in His ministry and now I am reaping what I sow. Thank you God!

A time of God’s goodness and faithfulness Halleluiah! and so I put my pictures from 2002 to 2009. God has been so good to me in spite of my stubbornness and also in spite of people kept cursing me. I thank God for the protection and I thank God that the curse being spoken to me, has no power for I am a Victorious Christian ^^ that’s why my new church is called “Victory Christian” hehehehe…

Testimony: When it’s for you… it’s for you. =P

May sira na kasi yung boots ko… and then We saw a boots in Robinson Galleria, and I really liked it, but it cost 800 pesos so I prayed to God and told Him if ever.. that boots is for me… then when I come back for it, it will be available and cheaper. And we came back after church in VCF and when I looked at the boots. It is available and a miracle happened! it only cost 180 pesos! would you believe that? It was on sale! so I bought it! Galing talaga ni Father God! Love you Dad

Friends

God spoke once before in my heart, when I became a Born again Christian… when some of my friends left me because I became fanatic to Jesus. He said, “I will not leave you empty”. And He didn’t lie when He said that. He gave me… “Emily, Hijiri, Ranma, Akane, Ems, Josanne, Rics, David, Preacherman, and Lmae” (of course you hehe I won’t forget you) and a lot more. Then this year, I again lost lots of friends but my true friends stayed by my side, and again.. The Holy Spirit spoke in my heart that “Jesus will never leave me empty” and God gave me brand new sets of friends and groupies. they are the VCF Angeles Family.

I just want to say thank you… Thank you so much VCF Angeles inspite of you’ve heard many negative things about us, still you have kept us and welcomed us in your Church family. Most especially, Ptr. Emer, Bro.Bing, Sis.Mae (kisses), Sis.Ianne (huggles), Sis.Lizette, Sis.JHOI!!!!, Sis Nerissa, Bro.Paul, Bro.Ivan, Bro.Jaycel, Sis.Seanne, Sis.Lei, Sis.Lyka, Sis.MJ and Sis.Jessica. Thank you… Thank you so Much. May God bless VCF Family in Angeles and also new friends online like Ken, Jessica, Kimbalee Tika and a lot more =D God bless you all! (oh also Euri, and Himeka who were not a Christians but they encouraged me a lot ^^)

Hello! Chette Here. I’m having a break from studying and so I wanted to share you some of the things that opened my eyes during the past weeks and we were out of our daily routines. I really like my life right now. I can think fast, I can get enough rest and I can have more time with my real friends as well as my God ^^

Attending VCF as well, has changed the way as I approach God… and I’ve been attending eversince August 16 and every teachings/preachings were always an eye opener for me. I really like how they’re teaching “series.” And having a change of style of hearing… looking at some things in a different perspective is totally refreshing.

So without further ado… I’ll share you some of my thoughts and I hope as you read along, your eyes will be opened as well.

Biblical Person no. 1 - Joseph (Beginning Genesis 30)
Before when people speak breakthroughs, I always think of Joshua and Caleb and how they conquer the promise land. But as I was reading Joseph’s life… God pointed it out that Joseph was the person really experieced breakthrough in his life. To be able to experience breakthrough… your life will be shaken. If you are a Christian who doesn’t accept Shakening in your life then you will not experience Breakthrough.

Biblical Persons no. 2 - The difference of Queen Esther and the Widow in Jesus’ Story. (Esther 7 and Luke 18)
I was always encourage everytime I hear the story of the Widow in Jesus’ Story. The widow kept knocking at the door of the judge and kept knocking and knocking and the Judge gave the justice. Jesus pointed out ‘perseverance in asking’ But the thing is… you don’t have to become like the widow, you can be Queen Esther. (this is a teaching from VCF) hehehe… We Christians are not just children, but we are also called, the Bride of Jesus. I know I’ve been hearing we are “Bride” but I never take it seriously.. not until I heard that message. It feels good to be the “BRIDE”. You have all the favor you can get. And reading the Book of esther… Esther did something before She became the “Beloved” of the king. She used wisdom (how she treated the king and prepare herself to meet the king); and thus because of this… the King loved her so much… so much that Queen Esther adversary became the king’s adversary.

Biblical Person no. 3 - Rahab (Joshua 2)
Two things that God revealed to me in the life of Rahab.

1. Rahab is an alien prostitute who was saved because she protected the spies
2. Even there was an order from the higher authority, still Rahab chose to submit to God.

If you read the whole chapter 2 of Joshua, the City of Jericho was marked out for death. But God in His mercy, permitted Rehab to live. Not only that! Did you know that RAHAB became a part of the nation of Israel? She married Salmon and gave birth to Boaz (who is the ancestor of King David and Jesus!) Imagine… a Prostitute becoming a part of the ancestry of Jesus Christ. See what Faith can do?? She’s one of the great women of faith in the Bible.

And She is what you can call… “I will submit to the authority if the authority is right. If not, then I won’t.” kind of woman. Rahab is telling us that ‘we can submit to the ones who has authority, but use wisdom”

I remember one time… when my dad was still here in the Philippines.. he told me once. “Submit to the authority. Submit to the elders, submit to the leaders, but once the leaders are not in the right, then you have the right to disagree with it. If your leader say, ‘Go kill yourself.’ Will you follow him? You will know if its God’s thing or not. This is different to Abraham submission. Use your brain.”

I think he said that because he knew that my weakness before (and up until last august :P) that I easily trust people and eventually people will abuse my trust and it will lead to pain.

lastly…

Biblical Persons no. 4: Jesus and James
Very common name But the Holy Spirit revealed something to me as I was reading his story. Jesus ministry started from the age of 30 and He died at the age of 33. His ministry time, is only for 3 years. So what did He do for the remaining 29 years? He served His earthly family. That is why his earthly brother “James” who wrote the Book of James (Nope the writer of the Book of James in the new testament is not the Apostle but rather the ‘earthly brother’ of Jesus, he is another son of mary. =D ) So because of Jesus’ testimony… James wrote the book of James and encouraged many of Christians (in the past and up until present) how a Christian should live, and His role model is his earthly brother: Jesus ^^

Hope these things enlightened you as much as it enlightened me ^^

God bless everyone!
God bless VCF FAMILY!
God bless ANGELES City ^^

(Edit: Good they took it down. But we have a Screenshot,  God told us to do that. If you want the screenshot, we have it. and  Emily and Euri has it too.)

——-

They even put our names ^^ I am honored ^^ Its also the first POST in the blog! ^^ Dapat matuwa kayo coz I am giving you a lot of “Visitors”

Slander is a spoken defamation. Defamation or “defamation of character” is spoken or written words that falsely and negatively reflect on a living person’s reputation.
If this is a Real Church… why do they slander? What are they trying to prove? that they are right? Anyway, it doesn’t matter. God knows who is lying or not.

Anyway, you go there and see for yourself. As you can see, all their posts are about us. Bombarding us with negative words with OUR NAMES in it (and they can be sued) while as for me, I never put their names ^^ but you go there and see how this church operates and talk. It’s like they are trying to PROVE something.

But you know what’s funny? look at the banner, I made that.
look at their tshirts (Joshua Generation), it was inspired by the Holy Spirit drawn by Philip, some of my wallpapers are being used by the KKBs… and then they are calling us traitors, devils, rebelling against them.. etc. They should stop “using” those tshirts if we were from satan! lol

Why do they have to do this? I don’t know.
God’s wrath? what do they know?

Here we are starting back to O (zero) living peacefully and attending VCF, peacefully (not asking for any position) and yet they kept saying this?

The reason why I put that post is because I only want to clarify myself and posting that post WITHOUT their names.

You know who is guilty ne?

Is this still the church and family… we were once a part of it? Is this the Church I devoted my Life into for 6 years? Is this the church that I defended to my family?

Expelled from the leadership because of rebellion? -_- no… WE LEFT because of INJUSTICES, We left because we don’t trust JIL ANGELES ANYMORE.

I say: if only they let us leave in peace… I won’t even bother to post this *shakes head*
