Pentecostals of Mapawa

May 26, 2024 we celebrated Mother's Day!
A little late to the actual mother's day but know we love you everyday!

Happy Mother's Day ,

A day to celebrate our fathers, not just for providing for their families but for being a man of God leading their family to the Lord.

Happy Father’s Day!

To the man God has blessed us with as our pastor, we pray for abundant blessings, holy anointing, and God-given wisdom to pour out upon you on your special day and every day of your life.

Your guidance, compassion, and faithfulness in the ministry inspire us. We are always at your back, supporting and praying for you.

Happy birthday to our Tatay! 🎉

Happy birthday to our assistant pastor Owen Grace Resuena !

May your days be filled with inspiration, your path with purpose, and your heart with joy. May your life be surrounded by love and humbleness in the presence of God.🙌

As Rev. Julius Abad said, "We are ever-blessed by His unfailing goodness." Indeed, God is faithful, for we made it to our 48th Church Anniversary and Thanksgiving.

As this church completes another successful year, we thank God for all he has done.

From the people who pioneered this church and the people who strongly support the ministry, we can say that this church is a testimony of God's goodness.

Hello, brethrens! We want to extend this invitation to welcome you to our 48th church anniversary and Thanksgiving.

We have been praying for you and wish you would join us again for fellowship as we share together the love of God.🙌

Our busy schedule may delay us, but it will never be a reason for us to forget appreciating you.

Your dedication and commitment to the ministry are admirable, and the way you guide us through spiritual growth is a true blessing. The time and effort put forth by you were incredibly appreciated.

To our Sunday School Teachers, Thank you and may the Lord continue to anoint you in your ministry.

Sometimes we worship when it’s convenient.
Sometimes we pray because we are in trouble.
Sometimes we call Jesus because we have nowhere else to go.
Sometimes we put God as our last resort.

No one wants to be the last option.

When God was crucified on the cross, His purpose was not to be known by man. It was to save man from sins and give new beginning.

You were always His top priority. So don’t give Him your secondhand praise.🙌

Sometimes you pray that God won't put you in a problematic situation; keep you away from things that would hurt you,
𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗚𝗼𝗱 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝘂𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻;
to be in the middle of the chaos for us to grow our faith.🙌

May you have the heart to praise in your sorrows and joy. May it be that in your big and little victories, even in your failures and doubts, LET JESUS BE GLORIFIED.🙌

We are sometimes overwhelmed with the things here on earth that satisfy our human wants. And we forget that true satisfaction only comes from the Lord.

When choosing how you will live out your years on earth, remember that the best choice you can make is to serve the living God, who loves and knows you even better than you know yourself.

Don’t let your happiness take you away from God.🙌

God does not change His mind or break His covenants. When we asked Jesus into our lives, we became part of His family. No matter how messy our lives get or how troubled our hearts are, God does not abandon us. He promises to love us even in the most unlovable part of us and take compassion on us even when our lives are in chaos.

The Lord never fails to keep His promises, but can we do the same for Him?

Do you promise to keep your faith in Him and love Him, even in the toughest of times?🙌

Where can one find stability in a chaotic world?

Only God is a sure foundation. He is our fortress. We are on unshakeable ground when we lay our foundation on the truth of Jesus and who He is. We will not give in to the storms of life.

Stand on a firm foundation.
Build your foundation in the presence of God.🙌

Here are some reminders to start your week off right.🙌

In these trying times, we must be hungry and desperate for God. The devil may try to bring you back to the life that God has delivered you from, but STAND FIRM. KEEP GOING.
The things you do for the Lord are not wasted.🙌🔥

God’s promises are gifts that overflow from His heart.

Face the difficulties of life knowing that God has every intention of keeping every promise He has made.🙌

Jesus has been and will always be fighting for you and with you. He’s Got You! So praise the Lord who fights for you.

You’ll never know what your praise can change. So in your waiting, in your pain, in your struggles, and in your gains, PRAISE!🙌

Many of you are currently going through some of the most difficult times of your lives. However, allowing those "what ifs" to rule your life can take away your joy and destroy your peace of mind.

Living in your what-ifs will hurt you.
Trust the process of God.🙌

God never said living a Christian life was easy. There will be judgment, criticism, and shortcoming,and we will make mistakes.

But what is great about living a Christian life is that we have the guidance and power of the Holy Spirit that will push us to strive with our faith.
Sometimes things will be out of our control, so lay everything in the hands of God.

FINISH THE WORK AND STAY COMMITTED TO YOUR CALLING.🙌🔥

When times get rough and there comes a season of pain and darkness, or you feel tired of waiting, here's the good news: you are not walking alone in your journey. There are people that God has gifted us to be with us in all seasons of our lives: our family, church, and our pastors. They are God-given people.

The devil wants you to think you’re doing this on your own.

If David defeated the giant alone with the power of God, what more can you do with a large circle of people praising the Lord? 🙌🔥

Sometimes looking forward can be burdensome when looking at life through the lens of "what if?" Just like the people of Judah, we wrestle with the same questions and challenges. Oftentimes, people only saw shadows and darkness, but God saw HOPE AND LIGHT. God is capable. If HE did it before, he can do it again.

HE IS MAKING A WAY BECAUSE HE IS THE WAY.🙌

The mighty hand of God is with you. Even when our focus disappears and discouragement, failure, brokenness, and despair blur our vision, we know that it is not beyond the reach of the mighty hand of God. Whatever is keeping you chained—financial, emotional, mental, or yourself—rather than focusing on those things, FOCUS ON THE ONE WHO CAN BREAK THEM.

His hands remain to save and are mighty to deliver.🙌🔥

What God has in store for us are much greater than what we desire to achieve. Focus your life to God and see His favor and blessings flow in your life.

We all want great things in this world but the greatest blessing is to have ETERNAL life.

WE MUST LIVE A GOD-CENTERED LIFE. 🙌

God knows the plans He has for your life, and they're meant for good. Maybe when you look at the details of your life, it's hard to believe that these are all part of His plan. But what if God's definition of "good" is different from ours?

We know that there is a purpose to our pain. God doesn't waste anything. God uses all things—the messy, the confusing, and even the painful moments—to transform us. He doesn't remove trials, but He promised to transform us through them.

So welcome God into your story today—even the messy part of it.🙌

In your limited capacity, we have an unlimited God. Have faith in Him. Believe in your heart without doubt or fear, and speak your faith out loud. Speak your faith over your situation, need, problem, and circumstances, and believe God has made a promise to you. Then receive it and walk in it as if it were so, Because IT IS.

When uttered with faith, God works with His word and brings it to pass!

When Eve accepted the fruit from the serpent, she was not only tempted but driven by the desire to want more. Exchanging her faith for a taste of temporary sweetness.

Christians today may have the same desire in their hearts.

Dili mali ang mangandoy ug mga butang sa kalibutan. Pero ayaw ikambyo ang imong pagtoo sa mga butang nga temporaryo lang.🙌

There is no other name that's revealed and proclaimed—only Jesus. A name that can break every chain, a name that delivers. Seal your heart with the truth that God will not leave us comfortless; He will supply and protect us. Don't let the devil steal the truth that is planted within you.

He is able to do above and beyond anything we can ever ASK. THINK. IMAGINE.

HEAVEN is the ultimate treasure. Serving Him might be in different forms; for some it maybe you are a full time ministry, evangelist or behind the pulpit ministry. Regardless of how God chooses to use us, we can continue to trust and obey. Everything we own in this world is nothing compared to the wealth we gain in eternity.

I would rather not enjoy the things that are temporary in this world than not be able to experience life eternal. 🙌🔥

We all have weaknesses. We all have our own ups and downs. There will be times in life where all you can see is a vast landscape of struggle, pain, and unreached dreams. But you need to focus on the things God has promised.

In your weakness, you have power.
In your shaking, you have Jesus.

Find comfort in Jesus.
He is still everything.🙌
