What must be first!

 1. Love the Lord.


Life must be lived with purpose and for purpose .
God’s fundamental purpose for creating us was to love us; We are receivers of God’s love.

Without knowing God, it is impossible to love Him. We come to know God through His Son, Jesus Christ, whose death on the cross paid the penalty for our sin and opened the way for us to be restored to a right relationship with our heavenly Father.

Intimacy is impossible at a distance .In order to be fruitful and fulfill our purpose for being we must stay in vital, constant connection to Jesus.

Anyone we love we want to spend a lot of time with. We love God by spending time with Him, and by staying close to Him so that He can love us and teach us His ways in order that we can become like Him.

2. Be part of a ministry.

The idea is to be able to serve.
We are blessed in every way and life is meant to be shared! Ministry is not limited for Sunday's alone. It is finding opportunities to use our abilities, resources, and time to serve others. Visit an orphanage, pray for the sick or listen to the hurting. You are blessed to be a blessing!

3.Don't follow your heart, follow Jesus!

We follow when we obey. Without obedience, any professions of love and devotion we make are empty and meaningless. Don't get me wrong, our desires are not always bad, but when we learn to surrender it to Lord. It enables us to be accountable and teachable.

We have to align our hearts to the Lord , because his plans are always best, perfect and leading us to our purpose, our chief end: “to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.

Rebuke but Don’t Criticize

Nothing shuts down communication and disrupts the harmony of a relationship faster than harsh, sniping, negative comments. Constant criticism destroys a person’s spirit. It breeds hurt, resentment, defensiveness, and even hatred. Criticism and rebuke are not the same thing. A rebuke differs from criticism in at least two important ways: the spirit from which it comes and the purpose for which it is given.  Criticism arises from a wounded and self-centered spirit that seeks to wound in return.A rebuke, on the other hand, comes from a loving and compassionate spirit that not only recognizes a problem but also seeks a fair and equitable solution with a heartfelt desire for the good of the other person. In short, a rebuke is motivated by love, whereas criticism is not. Develop the discipline of thinking before speaking. Whenever a problem arises or a conflict flares up and you feel the urge to criticize, ask yourself if it is a legitimate problem for which rebuke and correction are in orde

My personal Testimony

My name is Christian Mangubat, Intern pastor of HIS LIFE Ministries Inc. This is my story;      The journey in Queen City of the South 2014, where I learned being a Christian won’t make you immune to temptations. Trying to fix myself out from a broken relationship to an escalation of my addiction to gaming that led me to even more despair and depression. December 26 of the same year, I woke up with severe stomach pain that I can barely move.”      I failed you Lord but if you extend your grace today, I will offer all “I desperately prayed. Hours later helped arrived.      In mind going home is the best option but there is a storm that halted my travel. Nothings seem to work. In desperation, I went to the bus station where almost 500 passengers were present. The last 2 buses were approaching, everybody is in a hurry, windows become entrance and fights among passengers were evident.                                “Who Is Christian Mangubat?” a shout from a noisy crowd.      I raised my h

How to “Fall Up”

Restoration After Character Failure Leaders are normally trained in how to succeed, but they are rarely taught how to fail effectively by learning from their mistakes and making changes to avoid repeating them in the future. They fall down, but they don’t know how to “fall up” after failing. Remember that a leader’s ability to function successfully in his role of influencing others for a great cause in the interest of humanity is what I call the “trust factor.” Trust is the currency of true leadership and is the power that is deposited into the leader’s influence account. The only way to protect this deposit of trust is to establish strong character If an individual wants to secure his leadership, he must make protecting and maintaining his account of trust his principal responsibility. It can take years for a leader to build this account but only minutes of irresponsibility to deplete it and even cancel it. The following are the steps to restoration, reconciliation, and reclamation af
