Day 60 - A Call For Lay Mission Work

This How My Life Is Supposed To Be, Source : Flickr

Today, again I spent half of my day on the Feast.

As I celebrated my 28th birthday yesterday, I thank God through worship and enjoying his words through the preaching of Bro Oscar, our feast builder in Cebu City.

Again, this aching in my heart has re-occurred. The call for SERVICE. You may not know, but early on, in my teens, I wanted to be a priest. In fact, I still feel this calling in my heart up to now.

But this day, I realized that my calling was not for priesthood but for mission work.

I always knew that I had it in me. But I was never able to pinpoint what kind of calling I had. As I watched Bro Oscar and specially Bro Bo preached, I felt it in my heart. I am for Lay-Mission-Work.

Right after our meeting with Tita May last night, I realized that our Father is still calling me for that kind of service. I am now officially in charge of the entire Sales and Marketing for the Kerygma Conference 2010.

I remember in Tuesday last week, I prayed that God will let me serve Him again in a bigger way. Well, here's His answer.

Honestly, after realizing that - I actually told myself "what did I get myself into?".

Don't get me wrong, I want to serve God with my all but I just can't find the way how.

I have a job in Bacolod City but I also need to be in Cebu City to fully function in the ministry. I just hope that God will finally release me from my job.

I will be my Father's servant forever, and wait on His grace.

Day 56 - We Have To Win In All Areas of Our LIFE, If We Want A Happy Life

Wining Must Be In All Areas, Source : Flickr

It's already my 56th day in my journey to a million in 90 days, and so far I have not really earned any substantial amount of money. Although there were great opportunities and instances that I could really earn a big chunk of cash, it was just not win-win all the way.

I remember this lesson not only from Tito Tony but from my very first sales mentor. He said that in any walk of life, for us to prosper it should always be a win-win situation. Now I have a bigger view of this win-win theory, it's winning in all areas of our lives.

Whether it be in our relationships, our health, our spiritual, and our finances it has to be win-win.

Today, I traveled back to Cebu City in preparation for our marketing cascade for tomorrow. Instead of joining my co-employees in drinking, going-out, and having "fun", I decided to spend time with myself.

I played badminton (which I haven't done in almost a month), had a diet and i have conversed with my siblings and my parents.

I chose to spend time in developing my "wins" not only in my financial life but in my health and family life as well.

Starting this day, I will focus more on spending time in all areas not only in one area of my life. The goal is to win in all areas.

I will be seeing you at the finish line, to a million in 90 days.

Day 56 - We Have To Win In All Areas of Our LIFE, If We Want A Happy Life

Day 55 - A Call To Greatness, Giving Back All We Are.

Today I just had a great highlight of my day. It is not doing my job (yup I still enjoy selling). Not making post for my online businesses. Not the business ideas that pop-up every now and then. It's the extension time that God has given me on this earth.

Watch this video of the Feast by Bro. Bo Sanchez last August 8.



Now I know what a real million is, in fact wealth is insignificant after watching this talk of Bro. Bo. It reminded me of the verse, "seek first the kingdom of God and everything will follow".

While I pride myself for being a good Christian, I think for the past days (or even months), I have been focusing on the wrong things in life. Obviously, since I have joined this "million in 90 days" challenge, I have focused too much on money and I forgot the more important things in life.

Planting the seeds in heaven.

Hey let me make things clear. I am a good Christian, I pray everyday (mornings and evenings with the Bible). I attend mass very actively. I love as much as I can (specially my family and my beautiful wife). I am generous with my tithing. I am happy and I try to forgive as fast as I could. Yet, I have forgotten one of the most important aspects of being a Christian - SERVICE.

I am reminded that all our lives are hanging on a thread. That anytime God can take it away, if He chooses to. That we are all living on borrowed time.

Now I will choose nothing else but serve God. Imperfect as we humans are, we all fail but by committing all that I am to be used for God's purpose, it will make a difference.

Here's my prayer to God.

"Father, all that I am belongs to You. Use all of me for Your purpose. I do not know where to go directly but let your grace be sufficient to make my path clear".

So I will be seeing you, to a earning a Million for God's Kingdom.

Day 54 - What Will I Do Now? Please Help....

Now I'm Confused Source : Flickr

I'm back in my prison cell again - working in my job. (With a long sigh.....)

When I have already decided that I am moving to the entreprenuiral path, working at my job has become harder and harder as the days go by.

To add insult to injury, management just decided to add more reports that have to be submitted on a weekly basis. I "sarcastically" answered my boss whether we should be called salespeople or corporate secretaries. He directly diverted the topic.

That day, I told myself a simple affirmation, "all things will  work for the good". Honestly, I didn't understand why that affirmation came into my mind. Maybe God is teaching me patience again. Or maybe someday, learning all this reports will be useful for my future business.

Again, I know I should be seeing the bigger picture. Like what I used to say, "there's always an ROI". Like what Brother Bo said, all of our experiences will be used for God's purpose once we serve Him.

So I'm keeping my patience, and will do my best to keep an open mind. Learn all I can from the corporate world and hopefully, be able to apply what I've learned.

A confusing news :

The highlight of my day was in the evening. I attented my distributor's birthday party. Sir Larry is one of my first real-life business mentor, and I was very happy to celebrate with him his 56th birthday.

We enjoyed talking about business and health as well, but there was a really confusing news that became our topic.

Sir Gerry (brother of Sir Larry, who is the president of SMC properties) told me that the entire food group is being sold, and there is a possibility of us being paid for an early retirement.

I could not help but ask him again, since I was in disbelief. But his answer was the same.

Oh no, what will I do?

All throughout that night I was really confused. If I will submit my resignation now, I could lose the opportunity to get paid for a substantial amount of money. But if I will wait for another month, I will keep my business partners waiting in Cebu.

Honestly, I do not know what to do. I'm waiting on God, on where should I base my decision.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Only God knows, so I'll ask Him. Please pray for me, that I will make a brave decision.

I will be seeing you at the finish line, to a Million in 90 days.


Dedicated to you success,

Day 53 - Celebrating A Sunday, Planning For Kerygma Conference 2010

It's a great day to celebrate God's love today. After a week of stress from the hospital and the successful operation of my wife, it was now time to praise and glorify our Lord.

We attended the Cebu Kerygma Feast, together with the entire team of Business Incubators.

The feeling of worshiping our Lord was a great feeling of revival. Again and again, He was saying, "come to Me all who labor/burden and I will give you rest". After a tiring week, God assured me again that no matter how heavy my feelings are, He will carry me in His arms and heal me.

The worship was followed by an inspiring talk by brother Oscar - "Get Rid of Your Past Guilt's". It was a continuation on the series of talks which was about changing our belief system.

That day, many people were blessed with God's promise of abundance and we all prayed for our dreams and said "My Biggest Dreams Will Come True This Year".

Also the highlight of the activity is that, after the worship and hearing God's word through brother Oscar, we were divided into small groups to do some sharing. Again, I felt that we were all healed and inspired during our sharing. God is truly amazing for bringing us to this community.

After that, we had lunch with Tito Tony, Janmck, and Tita Glo. We then headed home for a much awaited rest.

Meeting with Kerygma Conference Marketing 2010.

The Upcoming Kerygma Conference 2010 in Cebu

At 9PM that day, we again met with the entire marketing team for Kerygma Conference this coming December 4, 2010.

We had a new addition to the group, who is also a member of the Business Incubators. Again as a marketing consultant, we discussed the many important aspects of the upcoming Kerygma Conference.

In addition, we were given more chances to serve at the Feast since now we are also the Marketing and Creative consultants for the Feast as well. Wow! God truly wants to use us all the way.=)

Another great day towards earning my first million. I will be seeing you at the finish line, to a Million in 90 days.
