In the end, we need to realize that our greatest reward—our ultimate goal in enduring sufferings in the ministry—is none other than Christ himself.

Shepherding those who are Suffering
What should we do now to minister to our suffering people? I hope na itong mga principles na ibabahagi ko ngayon sa inyo ay makatulong sa inyo para manatiling naka-angkla ang ministry natin sa di nagbabagong mga katotohanan ng Salita ng Diyos.
When Pastors are Suffering
I invite you sa first session na ‘to he honest with ourselves, with each other, with our church and especially with God. If our members are suffering, tayo rin. Di naman tayo exempted. Hindi lang tayo leader, member din tayo ng church. Hindi lang tayo pastor, isa rin tayo sa mga tupa.
Sermon: “Groaning, Waiting, Hoping” (Rom. 8:22-25)
My prayer–at ito naman ang gusto ni Lord for us–na anuman yang mga pagkadismaya, pagkainis, frustrations natin ay magresulta sa greater longing for that day na wala nang sakit, wala nang kasalanan, wala nang ineffective and corrupt government, wala nang kamatayan, maayos na ang lahat, makakasama na natin ang isa’t isa, makakasama na natin ang Diyos full of joy forevermore.
“Look and Be Astounded” (Hab. 1:5-11)
even if we see what we need to see, God’s work, in his wisdom, is much bigger than what we can comprehend. Di man natin maintindihan lahat, basta alam natin may ginagawa siya, and it is more than enough for us to believe in times of suffering.
“How Long, O Lord?” (Hab. 1:1-4)
Sabihin mo kay Lord kung ano ang nasa puso mo, kahit may reklamo ka, sige sabihin mo. Kasi kala natin yung prayer, prayer of thanks or petition lang. Pero yung “lament” is also a valid and biblical expression of prayer.
