"Theology of Gladly Surrender" By: Rev. Jesse Amiel A. Ramoso

Gladly Surrender By: Rev. Jesse Amiel Ramoso
Reflection from Ministry In The Image of God By: Stephen Seamands

          To understand surrender that is with gladness is to see the better benefits and highest virtue of the future final result. I can illustrate gladly surrender in a chess game, sometimes I had to sacrifice my officials in order for me to clear my way to attact and destract the plan of my opponent. The moment he will take my sacrificed officials I know he will lost the game, but offcourse I will feel sad and bad because I lost something dear to me. In doing this I had feel mixed emotions, gladness and pain; pain of losing my officers and gladness because I see a better future and advantages on my side. The view of gladly surrender in this article is focused on the Triune God's activity on how they Gladlly Surrender Jesus to die on the cross to gain us back from the prison cell of Satan. Gladly surrender was designed and intentionally willed of God for our (HUMAN) redeemption before the foundation of the world. I can imagine that moment when the Triune God descided to surrender their begotten Son to die on the cross somewhere in the human history and time they where glad when they did this because they knew that the people will be redeemed will become partakers of the  Divine Nature of God. One of the divine nature is love. Love is the heart of the divine nature of the triune God, this love exclusively flow for them and for them only, but the moment Jesus died on the cross they know that the flow of love exclusive to Trinity (Divine joyful intimacy) will be shared to human through the flow of love from the triune God to human and back to triune God. This cycles of divine flow is what excites all of us (HUMAN) and much more to God. When this flow spread to human then the human extend it to church and the church extend to the world then this is indeed it is gladly to know that when you sacrifice one the return are many. However, when we see the result which is good and and benificial we need also to understand that when the triune God sacrificed Jesus they did feel the pain and loneliness the moment Jesus separated for the first time from the triune God? The pain they suffer on the event of the cross is once and much painful ever had for the Triune God to fell, because it was Jesus bearing the sins of the world or literally Jesus became a sinners because of us. This is indeed painful, but this pain is just temporary rather than enjoying the eternal fellowship of the triune God together us “body of Christ that is Church or Bride of Christ” back to triune-God.
    
           This now becomes principle, that when we do ministry we should have this kind of attitude which is to sacrificed our time, finances, recreation and even profession just to reach out souls should be parallel to Gods point of view in sacrificing. Gladly surrender is to understand that there is a price in surrendering to Jesus and to be sure it will be joyful and gladly the moment you will reap the result of it. Therefore, we should imatate the principle of Jesus Christ when He gladly surrender on the cross when He was here on earth. To surrender ourselves is to give everything what we have even to the point of death. This is what happened to Jesus, because what urges Him to do so is the LOVE of the triune God the divine joyful intimacy that circulates to them. This intimacy kept Jesus focus His ministry to death because thats what the triun God wants as they willed before the foundation of the earth. Therefore, when we accept Jesus as a Lord and Savior we will be partake this intimacy of the divine nature by default. By default our spirit urges us to pray, to crabe the Word of God, to reachout souls to serve or to go spread that love to the whole world. When we comply this this, people begin to see the body of Christ in us, then when they see the image of God in us, they will see the Triune God in us, when they see the triune God in us they start to feel the intimacy of the divine nature in us, now they will start to get attracted to it and because this is what God wants to all people, God magnitized this person in order to get infected of this flow of intimacy. This is what happened when we gladly surrender our life to Jesus not for us to be saved but also be a sacrificed to do what the body of Christ should do. The body of Christ should be a healing hand, sometimes a father to the fatherless, a financial provider like a parents, or a caregiver like in the hospitals and etc. This is what we need to wake up, once we had this Love we should fulfill and do the same pattern as God innociated the ministry of SELF-Sacrifice and Gladly Surrender.

Philippine Christians Voted Gay Marriage By Default

By: Ptr. Jesse Amiel A. Ramoso           Imagine in a few years from now, we Born Again Christians, Pastors including Roman Catholic Priest and any church leaders here in the Philippines officiating GAY MARRIAGE in our respected churches? Yes! You read it right, gay marriages in our churches, and by force will be implemented. What would you feel and what might your reaction is? My initial answer to that might be the same with yours, of coarse a big “NO WAY”! Yes it's a big “NO WAY”! Unfortunately the House Bill 634 is on its way to be approve, they're now on " Second Reading" a few or last readings then it will be a law. Last July the another law "Reproductive Bill 5043" was approved and by next year “SEX EDUCATION in grade Five will be implemented.

Tips on How to survive from Tsunami and Flash Flood

Image
               I noticed that there is no body gives us tips on how to survive on the currents of flood, since Philippines is a  country. Last night, as I watched the News, I saw a woman swept away  from the flood in Isabela. I think of myself, in my personal evaluation she has a very slim chances of surviving on the water based on how she position herself. Therefore, I am passionate to share my personal experiences on how I survived on different hydro currents. I was able to cross with about 200 meters distance with one-meter high waves, with extra ordinary under current when I was about four year old. This experienced made me a swimming champion in our place, and I was able also to rescue my neighbor drown in the water; it was a life and death situation. That’s what made me a “hero” in our place during my childhood days, probably about six year old? Since then, I had no fear in wat...
