To many, “Imitate me, as I imitate Christ” is a statement of arrogance. But to others, it is a very intimidating declaration. We all feel that no one has the right to say this because we are all a work in progress. 

"Imitate Me, As I Imitate Christ" is one of the Breakthrough Principles of Semilya! But we do not go around imposing this statement on others. Instead, we use it to be better disciples of Jesus. We do not demand this on others but ourselves. 

As we teach and live out our lives, we always ask, “Am I worth imitating?” If the answer is no, we change our ways so that we can confidently teach and disciple others. 

If you want to understand how this principle can make you a better follower of Jesus, spare some time to listen to this message.

When Jesus came to set us free from our slavery to sin, we stopped struggling between doing good versus evil. But it shifted to a struggle between doing what is good versus what is right.

The decision we often wrestle with as a follower of Jesus is whether we will do what is good for us or right for the Lord. Whatever we choose between the two, we will still bear the consequences of that decision. When we do what is good for us, there is no assurance that things will be right in the future. But our future will always be good when we do what is right for the Lord. 

If you want to understand more, I hope you will have the time to listen to this audio message and be blessed.

Mayroon ka bang kaaway? If you are like most people, ang sagot is, "Oo, mayroon!" When you think of your enemies, what comes to mind, and what feelings do you feel? Have you been praying na sana God will return to them the evil they have caused you?

How can you pray against them? Diba God said, “Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.”

 I thought this was the most unreasonable and impractical command Jesus gave until I realized He told us to love our enemies because they are supposed to bring out the best in us.

I hope you realize that your enemies are not necessarily the enemies of the Lord. While they may have done something terrible to you, it does not mean they have sinned against the Lord. This message will show you that God is using them to expose your weaknesses to give you the opportunity to truly become a child of God.

Sana, this message will help you appreciate your enemies and become a more loving person.

Why did God never show Himself to the world? Siguro if He did, man would be able to make a replica of Him, whether in a picture or a statue that we can look up to.

Is this true? Did God never show His image to the world? Diba in Genesis, He created man in His image and His likeness. If this is not enough, He sent His Son, whom Hebrews 1:3 described as “the radiance of His Father’s glory and the exact representation of His nature.”

We often wonder where God is; diba Jesus said He is with us until the end of the age. We wonder if He cares; diba Jesus put His Spirit in us. We ask what God is like, di ba He is around us, He fills the heaven and the earth.

Sana, in this message, you will understand that God has been revealing Himself since the beginning of time because He wants us to Him better so we can be intimate with Him.

Are you afraid of idols made of wood and stones? Do you feel they have the power to influence you, kaya you stay away from them?

These idols have no power over you because they are inanimate objects. But there is a type of idol that we need to be afraid of; they are not made of wood and stone but are idols of our own making. This idol is inside you.

I realize that when we do not accept God as a whole, but only in part, we make a god of our liking. This hybrid god is not the God who created the heavens and the earth. The book of Hosea refers to them as sacred pillars, and they were things God hated. He even destroyed the Jews because of them.

I hope you will take the time to listen to this audio message so that we will not fall into the same pit the Jews did.

Outside the 10 Commandments, I believe submission is the most important command God gave us. Because He repeated this  again and again throughout the Bible.

I thought the worst sin a king committed in Israel was when David murdered Uriah, the husband, to take his wife Bathsheba in an act of adultery. But these were sins God eventually forgave. But when Saul did not submit to the instructions of Samuel, God removed him as king. In 1 Samuel 19, God said that insubordination is the same as idolatry, a sin that is very offensive to the Lord.

Why do we struggle with submission?

I am discovering the root of our struggle is our lack of faith. Simply put, faith is to trust and obey God. We have a hard time obeying this command when we believe that the leader He placed over us have flaws. When we do not submit, we are telling God that He is not in control and does not know how to choose the leaders we should follow. 

Through this message,I hope you understand the blessings that will come to those who obey. May you live a blessed and fruitful life.

Throughout history, monsters have come to oppress the Jews, in particular. There was Pharaoh of Egypt, Sennacherib of Assyria, Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, and Hitler of Germany in the 19th century. Who invited these monsters into their lives?

Recently, I saw a post expressing his concern about a ghost that raped our country in the past. He said that ghosts had resurrected to be a monster that would ravage our country in the next six years. He said the sad thing about it is that we invited this monster.

Who invites monsters into our lives?

Often people attribute the monsters that come into our lives as part of the doing of the devil, the enemy of God. Does this mean God has no power to overcome the devil? Why would God allow the devil to send monsters into our lives if He is in control? 

I hope this audio message will help you respond to the monsters God allows in your life. May this message be an encouragement to you.

I believe every one of us was born with the potential to become great because we were created in God’s image and likeness. If this is true, then why are many people living mediocre lives. Most of the time, ang sagot nila is ”Kasi tao lang ako." Bakit natin parating sinasabi na tao lang tayo? Bakit nating minamaliit ang pagiging tao? Hindi mo ba alam na Psalm 8 says that man was created a little lower than God?

In this audio message, I want to show you how you can live out your full potential. Totoo, tao ka, but hindi ka tao lang. You were created to rule over everything God created, and He raised you so that you can represent Him to the world and reflect His glory as Jesus did.

May this message be an encouragement to you. God bless

Do you want to do something good for the Lord by doing something good for others? How do you expect him to react and respond to your prayers when you do something good for the Lord? But, how would you feel if you do something good for the Lord and yet He does not answer your prayer? How would you feel, and what will you do?

Recently, I stumbled upon Psalm 40:6. It says that the good things we do are not important to the Lord. What is important to Him is that we listen and do what he tells us day by day.

I want you to live a life pleasing to the Lord. I do not want you to waste your time doing things He will not accept. To do this, you must listen to him intently. I hope this message will help you become sensitive to the Lord so that everything you do will be pleasing to Him because when He is pleased with you, He will give you a life of abundance.

May this message be a blessing to you.

Is there a question that you ask the Lord, again and again? Ako, I always ask God, “What is your will for me?”

This question can take many forms for different people. What business do you want me to start? What course do you want me to take in college? Who do you want me to marry? Should I kill my husband kasi makulit (joke only)?

Has God answered you already? Or has He been very quiet? But is God too selfish not to reveal His will to us?

I have discovered that God has shown each of His will already, but we cannot discern it because we do not understand His mind

I am discovering that God‘s will is not about your situation but about how you respond to the circumstances He puts you in.

I hope this audio message will help you discern God’s will and respond to Him accordingly.
