A Call To Prayer And Fasting

noreply@blogger.com (Leonito Ramoso) — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 13:28:00 +0000

The events that happened during the Feet-Washing and Communion Service did not just end. The congregation felt a strong conviction and leading from the Lord. His wonderful works are starting to manifest and everyone felt an unexplainable sense of joy. It is as if He is working with haste now to prepare the Bride of Christ for His coming. And on our part, we began preparing, as the Lord lead us, by praying and fasting for 3 days. Bro. Lito quoted Scripture in Joel 2:15-17 on Wednesday Night Service. "Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly. Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts. Let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet. Let the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, 'Spare thy people, O LORD, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them.' Wherefore should they say among the people, 'Where is their God?'" And with that, a lot of us prayed and fasted. For 3 days, we endured the pains and hardships of praying and fasting because we are hopeful that by our deeds, the Lord will pour down His Holy Spirit to anoint us, will consecrate us and will deem us worthy to be called the Bride of Christ. We ended the fast by gathering together in church on Saturday afternoon, praying and praising His name. Oh what a day it was. It is always good to be in the presence of the Lord.

Communion and Feetwashing Service

noreply@blogger.com (Leonito Ramoso) — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 06:44:00 +0000

January 29, 2012 - The afternoon service leading to the Feet-Washing and Communion Service was a very memorable day for the church. A brother during the testimony portion expressed that he has been bothered for weeks now by a vision of some sort that there are two men in the church who are hiding in the veil of sin while attending church service regularly. He did not reveal who these men were but when Bro. Lito Ramoso started preaching after, he was led by the Spirit of God to call upon these men to come and confess their sins before the church to "come clean". He called upon a missionary brother who has recently committed concubinage during the time of his mission.That brother, who was initially reluctant and defensive, convicted himself and confessed his sins before many, asking forgiveness for his transgressions. Everyone started forgiving him, hugging him in love.

The service was about to end so Bro. Lito called on for the last brother to confess but the call ran through every ear and many, not just one brother, came to confess and ask forgiveness. One brother confessed that he is a slave to pornography and that he seldom reads the Bible despite having a couple of times preached before the pulpit. A sister confessed that she has committed pre-marital sex at the time she was regularly attending church. Another sister confessed that she was once a slave to gambling. Another brother confessed that he is a slave to the attraction of women and that he felt that the Music Ministry, which he is part of, no longer is a blessing to him because of boisterousness and rollicking within the Music Ministry. And many came forth asking forgiveness for whatever sins that have committed and everyone forgave those who bravely came forward to expose the works of the devil. Tears of joy ran that beautiful day. And joy ran throughout the Feet-Washing and Communion Service that night.

As a result of this, a brother leading the Music Ministry disbanded the music team. Bro. Lito dissolved the Offices of the Deacons and Youth Ministry because of ineffectiveness. He encouraged everyone to be steadfast and strong. The events that unfolded only prove that the devil has no hold on the church. And this is just the beginning of our preparation to meet Christ in the rapture.

UPDATE: February 1, 2012 - The young people of the church were called up to elect a new Youth Leader worthy to lead the youth in their walk with Christ. After having been nominated, Bro. Nelson "Tiwit" Pisien Jr. emotionally accepted the privilege, expressing his humbleness to. Bro. Joelmar Guardario became Assistant Youth Leader. May the good Lord bless the Youth Ministry.

UPDATE: February 12, 2012 - After a meeting, 11 brothers and a sister applied for the Music Ministry. All applications are pending evaluation. Bro. Lito impressed upon the applicants the need to be punctual and committed with the Ministry. He also advised them to sit on the front after every time they play so that they will get to hear the Word of God every time. This is because he noticed that in every church he visits, and sometimes in our church, the Music Team is almost always not present to attend the "actual service". They only come to "church" when they are called to play and leave the premises during the service. He also decided to move the instruments down from the stage to the side to avoid worshipers from getting distracted by the Music Team's antics on stage, which might prevent the Holy Spirit from flowing during the service. May God bless the Music Ministry.

Rapturing Faith

noreply@blogger.com (Leonito Ramoso) — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 08:04:00 +0000

There are some ministers and believers in the Christian world that think the rapture will happen anytime. Others say that we are on the rapture already. Some say that this great event spews chaos to our inhabited world because if a pilot is a Christian when the rapture comes, the plane will crash and people will die. If the captain of the ship is a believer when the rapture comes, the ship will collide with other ships. The same will happen to the Christian drivers. But brothers and sisters, God is a God of order and not a God of confusion (1 Cor. 14:33) (Psalm 37:23). There will be no harvest until you will be in your homeland (Deu.11:8-17). That is why there is a decree of God to return to our promise land which is the Promised Word in our day, the Apostolic Doctrine and Teaching (Mal. 4:5-6b part) because what he sows, he will reap. Praise God. When you are now in the Promised Word or in the Body there will be an Ascension Gift that God will give to the Body for Its growth, protection and nourishment and will give It strength to work (Eph.4:7-16) just like the 5 immune systems in the body. Until the latter rain comes, which is the utterances of the seven thunders, then the harvest will come (Rev 10:3-4) (James 5:7). Hallelujah, Amen.

Renewing the Blog

noreply@blogger.com (Leonito Ramoso) — Sun, 24 Apr 2011 23:45:00 +0000

It has been quite a long time since this blog has been active. But now it is again and I am happy to announce that this blog has been renewed along with all of our hearts here. The coming of Brother Blessing Nice from Nigeria bearing the Message of our Lord Jesus Christ during the "Holy Week" of 2011 in Butuan during the Fellowship Convention has stirred our faith to believe that God is indeed working on our behalf to raise us up from our present state and be one with Him in glory. May the Lord bless our beloved brother who is right now doing another 2-day Fellowship Convention in the island of Camiguin, the hometown of Brother Johnamel Buslon, together with Pastors Michael Togonon, Leonito Ramoso and Nelson Pisien.

Working In The Dark

noreply@blogger.com (End-Time Christian Assembly: God's Tabernacle of Praise) — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 07:30:00 +0000

Our newer and bigger church is being constructed. Because of our tight budget, we only rely upon volunteers to do the work needed in order for us to build the church. There are some days (or nights) when we have to do some overtime. And this is one of those days (or nights). We only have candles to illuminate the working area. We have yet to install lighting. I hope we can speed up construction without spending a lot. Please help us pray to God that He bless everyone of us here so that we can share our blessings towards the construction of our church.

Bro. Lito Ramoso, along with other brothers and sisters visited Bukidnon just recently. The leading of the Holy Spirit guided the trip. A few pastors were so ecstatic about the Message that was being spoken to them, so much that they were filled with joy as tears were gushing from their eyes. The mission trip was a success thanks to God and the generous support of all the believers. Keep on supporting the ministry.

Lapu-Lapu City Church Visit

noreply@blogger.com (End-Time Christian Assembly: God's Tabernacle of Praise) — Sat, 09 May 2009 09:39:00 +0000

The month of May came and a few of us visited the House of Prayer in Canjulao, Lapu-Lapu City, Philippines. This church is being led by their pastor, Bro. Heracleo "Rocky" Verallo with help from his immediate family who are accomplished musicians and singers and a bunch of brothers and sisters dedicated in serving God by helping in the ministry. Their church has recently undergone transfers and renovations and by the grace of God, they have made it possible for themselves to worship in a bigger and cozier house of worship. Back then, they were coming in fellowship in a minuscule room, sparing the understatement. The days we spent there were filled with sweet remembrance. We hope to see them soon.

Old People Sings For God

noreply@blogger.com (End-Time Christian Assembly: God's Tabernacle of Praise) — Sat, 09 May 2009 09:19:00 +0000

Our older people from Mabuhay, Agusan del Norte sings a classic song in Cebuano and in English. This is a tear jerking song for God. I love it when they sing. You could really feel the love of God in them. The song says, "Magtutok lamang ngadto Kanimo, tungod kay sayod ako nga sa kanunay magauban Ikaw, ug kanako maghatag ug kalipay luyo sa mga pagsulay." (Just looking at You, I know that You will always be with me, and You will give me happiness in the midst of trials.)

noreply@blogger.com (End-Time Christian Assembly: God's Tabernacle of Praise) — Sat, 09 May 2009 06:26:00 +0000

The Butuan Fellowship 2009 was a successful event. It was held on April 9-12, 2009 at the House of Prayer in Brgy. Mahogany, Butuan City, Philippines. It was attended by brothers and sisters all around Mindanao. Bro. Richard Gan from Singapore and Bro. James Veremu from Zimbabwe ministered non-stop from day 1 to 4 and everyone was blessed by the Lord Jesus Christ's Message. Bro. David Colili of Novaliches, Quezon City also ministered deeply despite having declined early on. The fellowship started with a celebration amidst the Holy Week observance and it ended with tearful goodbyes as everyone was not keen on leaving because of the joyful experience.

A Sad News For The People Of Cabadbaran

noreply@blogger.com (End-Time Christian Assembly: God's Tabernacle of Praise) — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 07:19:00 +0000

Hello fellow believers and bloggers alike, greetings to everyone in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. It's been so long since I made a post in this blog. Time got the best of us here. With this post, I also bring a sad news for many. By virtue of a Supreme Court decision, dated November 18, 2008, docketed G.R. No 176951, the City of Cabadbaran is no more. Our humble city, once again, becomes a municipality. The Court decided that our Cityhood Law, the piece of legislation that made our municipality a city, is unconstitutional, i.e. against the very foundation our Constitution has set upon all laws of the land to follow. The demotion brings a reduced Internal Revenue Allotment (IRA), that means that the National Government will shell out a reduced budget for Cabadbaran. Cabadbaran filed a consolidated Motion for Reconsideration with the Court, along with other 15 cities affected by the decision, but the word is that the motion is rejected. There is no official confirmation yet but we can no longer delay the inevitable. Our cityhood is gone.

How will this affect us? For the believers here, things have not really changed after Cabadbaran was named a city. Although, in general, things will change for the worst but the Lord has apportioned to us a far greater reward than any cityhood or any IRAs combined. His blessings will continually pour upon his people here. Even though times will be tough, His people will grow tougher. That is why, we also need your help in your prayers that everything will work out fine for us here. We will also pray for you. Let's all pray together. And surely the Lord will listen to our plea.

- Albert Cong, Webmaster
