A Gospel Diary, Baguio City (2026)

21/08/2026

Just reading about the kings in the Bible—men like Hezekiah and Jehoshaphat—makes me realize what leadership can look like when a heart is truly surrendered to God.

Jehoshaphat sent leaders and Levites throughout the cities of Judah to teach the people the Word of God, so that the nation would know His ways and turn their hearts back to Him. Hezekiah likewise called the people to return to the Lord, restored what had been neglected, and gave generously from what God had entrusted to him for the worship of God.

Their resources, their treasures, their authority, their position—none of it was more important to them than honoring God.

And that is why reading these accounts can make my spirit both amazed and saddened.

Because when we look at the world today, how many leaders truly carry that kind of burden for the souls of the people they lead? How many presidents and rulers use their position not merely for power, wealth, influence, or personal gain, but to lead their nations toward righteousness, justice, humility, and reverence for God?

So my prayer is this:

Lord, raise up leaders.

Raise up presidents, kings, governors, officials, and people in authority in every nation who will not only seek what benefits themselves, but will seek what honors You.

Raise up leaders who will have courage to speak truth, wisdom to govern justly, humility to acknowledge You, and compassion for the people entrusted to them.

Raise up leaders who will awaken nations—not toward themselves, but toward You.

📖 “Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin condemns any people.” — Proverbs 14:34

May our nations turn back to God.

May hearts be awakened before disaster comes.

May leaders seek the Lord before seeking power.

May families return to God.

May churches return to holiness.

May nations remember their Creator.

And Lord, when we have wandered far from You, have mercy on us.

Heal our lands. Protect our people. Turn our hearts back to You. Let us not wait until we are broken before we remember who our God is.

Raise up leaders who will lead people back to You. Raise up a generation that will glorify Your name.

Not for our glory.

Not for the glory of presidents, kings, churches, or nations.

But for Your glory alone.

In Jesus’ name. Amen. 🙏

Are you carrying God’s glory even outside the secret place?

You go to church. You enter the secret place. You pray. You seek God’s presence. You experience His glory, His peace, and His nearness.

But what happens when you walk out?

When you return to the reality of bills, responsibilities, struggles, disappointments, pressure, and problems—does the atmosphere around you change what is happening within you?

And what happens when you encounter people whose lives are not aligned with God? When you see the fruit of compromise, disobedience, and things that do not glorify Him, does your spirit become grieved—or do you feel nothing?

Does something within you ache when you see people walking farther away from God? Do you feel a burden to pray for them, or have you become so accustomed to the things of the world that they no longer trouble your spirit?

There is a difference between condemning people and grieving over what grieves God.

A heart that is becoming sensitive to God does not delight in another person’s downfall. It cries out for their restoration. It does not look down on the sinner; it carries them to God in prayer.

Moses went up Mount Sinai and remained in the presence of God for forty days and forty nights. He encountered God’s glory and received His Word. But when he came down from the mountain, he saw something completely different: the people had turned to an idol and were worshipping the golden calf.

📖 Exodus 32:19 — “When Moses approached the camp and saw the calf and the dancing, his anger burned and he threw the tablets out of his hands…”

Moses did not come down from the mountain and simply blend into the atmosphere around him.

He saw rebellion, but he did not become rebellious.
He saw idolatry, but he did not bow.
He saw chaos, but he did not surrender his devotion to God.

The mountain experience did not make him disconnected from reality—it prepared him to stand in the middle of it without becoming part of it.

And that is the question for us:

Are you only seeking God when you are in church?
Only hungry for Him when you are in the secret place?
Only peaceful when everything around you is peaceful?

Or are you carrying what God has placed inside you when you step back into the world?

Because the real test of what happened in the secret place is not only what you experience while you are there.

It is what you carry when you leave.

When the bills come.
When the problems multiply.
When people disappoint you.
When your plans fall apart.
When the atmosphere around you becomes heavy.

Will you still pray?
Will you still obey?
Will you still trust?
Will you still remain clean in your heart?
Will you still refuse to bow to what everyone else is bowing to?

And when you see someone else falling, will you join them, condemn them, or fall on your knees and intercede for them?

Moses came down from the mountain and found his people surrounded by idolatry, but he did not allow their rebellion to determine his own faithfulness.

Instead, he stood before God on behalf of the people.

📖 Exodus 32:31-32 — Moses returned to the Lord and pleaded for the people who had sinned.

That is what the presence of God should produce in us—not pride that says, “I am better than them,” but a burden that says, “Lord, have mercy. Turn their hearts back to You.”

And Moses understood something even deeper:

📖 Exodus 33:15
“If your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here.”

That must become our cry too.

Not just:

“God, let me experience Your glory.”

But—

“God, let me carry Your presence wherever I go.”

Seek Him in the secret place.
Meet Him in the church.
Worship Him in the quiet.

But when you step back into the noise of life, do not leave Him behind.

Let the presence you encountered in secret become the strength you carry in public.

Let His presence make you more sensitive, not more judgmental.
More prayerful, not more condemning.
More holy, not more proud.
More burdened for the lost, not more comfortable with the world’s ways.

The world may be full of pressure, but you do not have to be swallowed by it.

You can walk through the struggle without becoming the struggle.
You can live among the world without becoming like the world.
You can see the idols without bowing to them.
You can see people falling without losing compassion for their souls.

So ask yourself:

When I come down from the mountain, what do I carry?

Do I carry His presence?
Do I carry His heart?
Do I carry His holiness?
Do I carry a burden for those who are lost?

Or have I left everything I encountered with God back in the secret place?

Will I remain with God whatever it takes—or will I allow the world to swallow what God has built within me?

God is One.

Not three gods.
Not four.
Not five.
Not many beings sharing divinity.

One Eternal God revealing Himself in different ways according to His purpose, glory, and nature.

Now let’s talk about God’s angelic nature revealed throughout Scripture.

God is not only revealed as the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. In the Old Testament, He also appeared as the Angel of the Lord to many people. He appeared to Moses in the burning bush. He appeared to Abraham. He appeared to Hagar when she fled from Sarai into the wilderness.

The Angel of the Lord spoke to Hagar, and she recognized it was God Himself seeing her in her pain. That is why she called Him:
📖 “El Roi” — “the God who sees me.” (Genesis 16:13)

This was not an ordinary angel.

Throughout Scripture, people bowed in reverence before the Angel of the Lord because God’s presence was there. Yet ordinary angels never accept worship.

In Revelation, when John bowed before an angel, the angel immediately stopped him saying:
📖 “Do not do that! I am a fellow servant with you.” (Revelation 22:8-9)

Why?
Because true angels point worship back to God alone.

But in the Old Testament, the Angel of the Lord carried God’s authority, spoke as God, and revealed holy ground wherever He appeared.

📖 Exodus 3:2-6 — The Angel of the Lord appeared in the burning bush, yet moments later God Himself spoke saying:
“I AM WHO I AM.”

God also appeared before Joshua as the Commander of the Army of the Lord. When Joshua saw a man standing with a drawn sword and asked whose side He was on, the Commander answered:
📖 “Neither, but as Commander of the army of the Lord I have now come.” (Joshua 5:14)

Joshua immediately fell facedown in reverence, and the Commander told him:
📖 “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy.” (Joshua 5:15)

These were not ordinary created angels.

This was God revealing Himself in angelic form before coming into the world through Jesus Christ.

To understand it simply:
a man can be both a pastor and a husband at the same time. He reveals one role in church and another role at home, yet he remains the same person.

In the same way, God reveals Himself according to His will and purpose, yet He remains One.

Then the fullness came through Jesus Christ.

📖 “The Word became flesh and dwelt among us.” — John 1:14

📖 “If you have seen Me, you have seen the Father.” — John 14:9

The same God who spoke through fire,
walked with Israel,
appeared as the Angel of the Lord,
stood before Joshua,
and revealed His presence throughout the Old Testament,
came into the world in flesh through Jesus Christ.

One God.
One throne.
One Kingdom.
One Savior.

Reading Deuteronomy 32 is sobering.
It reminds us that God is holy, powerful, and not to be taken lightly.

Israel forgot the One who carried them, protected them, and provided for them from the beginning. When they entered blessing, abundance, and comfort, they slowly turned their hearts toward other things and abandoned the God who gave them life.

📖 “You turned away from God, your Creator; you forgot the Mighty Rock, the source of your life.”
— Deuteronomy 32:18

And it makes us reflect deeply today.

Sometimes people receive blessings, success, provision, opportunities—yet slowly begin living without God. Plans are made without prayer. Hearts become proud. Dependence on Him fades.

When hardships come, we should not immediately assume every suffering is direct punishment from God. Not every trial is wrath—sometimes it is simply life in a broken world, and sometimes it is a test that draws us closer to Him.

But Scripture does teach us this truth:
a life far from God leads to destruction.

So instead of only asking,
“Why is this happening to me?”
we should also ask:
• Have I forgotten God in my success?
• Have I slowly drifted away from Him?
• Have I made blessings become idols?
• Am I still walking with the One who gave me life?

Israel forgot the Rock that sustained them.
May we never do the same.

Because true safety is not in possessions, harvests, achievements, or plans—
our true safety is still God.

⸻

📖 “Israel, you grew fat and rebelled against God, your Creator; you rejected the Mighty Rock, your only place of safety.”
— Deuteronomy 32:15

⸻

Sometimes blessings make people forget the One who gave them. Stay close to God—even in abundance.

04/05/2026

Held close.
Safe.
Covered.

There’s a kind of love that carries you
before you even know how to stand.

And this is how Christ is with us.

Not distant.
Not harsh.
But near…
gentle…
faithful.

He carries what you cannot carry.
He holds you when you feel weak.
He stays when everything else feels uncertain.

⸻

📖 “As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you.”
— Isaiah 66:13

You are quiet. Focused on God.
It feels like everything is calm—
like the battles have lessened,
like the attacks are no longer as strong.

He has transformed you.
He has changed you.
He has cleansed your heart.
There is no malice in you toward others.

So you wonder…
why does it still feel like something is happening?

What you don’t see is this:
there are still arrows being thrown—
not always in front of you,
but behind your back, unseen.

But do not fear.

God is not unaware.
He allows what you cannot see
to shape you,
to strengthen you,
to prepare you for His glory and His Kingdom.

Not every attack is meant to destroy you—
some are permitted to build you.

So don’t lean on your own understanding.
Trust God’s process.
Trust His way.
Because His way is not just better—
it is perfect.

And when you feel vulnerable, remember this:
God is your defense.
He is your shield.
He is your protector.

So ask Him to guard you.
Stand firm in Him.
Stay pure in heart.
Remain in His presence.

28/04/2026

Even unseen battles are shaping you.
God is your shield—trust His perfect way.

When you feel heavy, the world tells you to release it.

“Shout it out.”
“Let it all out.”
“Throw things.”
“Say whatever you feel.”
“Don’t keep it in or you’ll go crazy.”

But is that really the answer?

Temporary release is not the same as true peace.

The truth is—
what you’re carrying is not just emotional, it can be spiritual weight.
And no amount of shouting, venting, or reacting can truly remove it.

Only Jesus can.

📖 “Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28

When you are overwhelmed…
When your mind is restless…
When your heart feels heavy…

You don’t need to explode.
You need to bow down.

Give it to Him.
All of it.
The stress.
The anxiety.
The confusion.
The weight you cannot carry.

Because you were never meant to carry it alone.

📖 “Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.” — 1 Peter 5:7

The world teaches release.
Jesus offers rest.

The world teaches reaction.
Jesus teaches surrender.

The world says, “Let it out.”
Jesus says, “Give it to Me.”

You are not alone.
He is with you—always.
Not distant. Not absent. Not unaware.

Just waiting…
for you to come to Him.

Do Not Take God’s Patience for Granted

Many people today live as if there will always be more time.

But when you read the Old Testament, you see how seriously God dealt with sin. Justice was not delayed. When people rebelled, consequences often came quickly. It reminds us that God is holy, and sin is never something He ignores.

Yet today, many continue in sin without realizing something important:

God’s delay is not approval. It is mercy.

Right now, God is giving people time — time to repent, time to turn away from sin, time to come back to Him.

Through Jesus Christ, God revealed a grace we do not deserve. Instead of immediate judgment, He patiently calls people to repentance so they may receive eternal life.

But His patience will not last forever.

One day the time for repentance will end, and every person will stand before God.

That is why we should not take His mercy lightly.

Today is the day to turn away from sin.
Today is the day to seek God.
Today is the day to live for Him.

“The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise… He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.” — 2 Peter 3:9

Do not mistake God’s patience for permission.

It is mercy — giving you time to come back to Him.

🔥 “To See Is to Believe?” Or Is It?

“He alone is immortal and dwells in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see.”
— 1 Timothy 6:16

God is not small.
He is not human-sized.
He is not confined to what your eyes can process.

He dwells in unapproachable light.

Not soft light.
Not candlelight.
Not something comfortable for human sight.

Unapproachable.

The Bible shows that when even a glimpse of God’s glory appeared, men fell as though dead. Mountains shook. Faces were hidden. Flesh trembled.

Why?

Because He is holy beyond comprehension.

No one has seen Him in His full, unveiled glory — and lived.

That is how vast He is.
That is how pure He is.
That is how different He is from us.

And yet…

The same God who dwells in unapproachable light chooses to manifest Himself in ways we can receive:

• Through His Word
• Through conviction in your spirit
• Through answered prayers
• Through peace that surpasses understanding
• Through creation that reflects His glory
• Through Jesus Christ, the visible image of the invisible God

He lowers Himself so we can know Him — not because He is small, but because He is merciful.

So when someone says, “To see is to believe,”
ask yourself:

If you cannot look at the sun without damage,
how will you demand to look at the Creator of light itself?

Faith is not blindness.

Faith is recognizing that the limitation is not in God —
it is in our human capacity to behold Him.

He is not absent because you do not see Him with physical eyes.

He is present — but are your spiritual eyes open?

You may not see Him in His original form.
But have you felt conviction?
Have you experienced mercy?
Have you known unexplainable peace?
Have you sensed protection you cannot logically explain?

He manifests in ways you can bear.

The question is not, “Can you see Him?”

The question is —
Are you sensitive enough to recognize Him?

Open your eyes beyond flesh.
Open your heart beyond logic.

Because the God who dwells in unapproachable light
is nearer than you think.

To Him be honor and eternal dominion. Amen.
