There are three keys of success in our Christian life: 1) the faith
that overcomes the world, 2) our trust in the Scriptures as His
inerrant Word and 3) intimate relationship with the Lord. Let’s discuss
how we can grow in faith and develop confidence that can help us grow
and do mighty exploits for God. There are teachers that teach
self-confidence is a vain thing in this world and therefore we must
throw it away. There are also teachers that tell the opposite that we
need it and we cannot... Continue reading ...
I have trodden the winepress alone, and from the peoples
no one was with Me. Isaiah 63:3
Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for
his friends. John 15:13
The old rugged cross was a symbol of the Roman empire’s prestige,
power and position. It is shameful to be crucified as the Scriptures say
that cursed be the man that hangs on a tree. The cross was a human
invention of the most wicked scheme of punishment to his fellow; yet
just as the human mind intended it ... Continue reading ...
“The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works
of the devil.” 1 John 3:8
The Lord could have easily bound Satan when He arose from the dead
but He allowed him to remain at large for the simple purpose of maturing
the saints. He was sent to destroy the works of the devil and just as
He was sent for this purpose, He has also sent the church to do the
same. There is really nothing that can hit us that God has not allowed
to come to pass. He does this to perfect the... Continue reading ...

Death and deliverance
The natural man is most bound by the fear of death (Hebrews 2:15).
There is nothing more feared, even reverenced by many than death whether
this is by culture or by religious practice. Some religions weight
their sins by the good they do in a given day. But it is clear from the
Scriptures that man cannot be saved by his good works because this is
considered rags by the Lord.
“For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that
not of yourselves, it is the ... Continue reading ...
The times in the wilderness
Israel was not quickly transported to heaven after believing God and
being “baptized” in the Red sea. She was thrust rather to walking the
great distance from that point on to the wilderness. This experience is
really a means of God to get their hearts truly aligned to His mind for
the calling that He has called them. This journey could have not lasted
very long, it could have been simply an 11 days journey and then to the
Promised Land, but because of t... Continue reading ...
As I have
written last week, understanding your purpose to answer the call of God
in your life could be the greatest cure to the church’s spurious and
superficial life in the spirit. True spiritual regeneration brings with
it genuine changes and fruit of eternity that could only be counted
once we graduate in heaven. There are general purposes which the
Christian life follows and fulfills on this earth. Only the naïve
thinks that this is all there is, however. Following the Lamb must b... Continue reading ...
 - Vehicles along with the victims were apparently dumped in ready made pits by the perpetrators
It has since been more than three weeks and we have been seeking justice for the sake of 57 innocent people who have been mercilessly killed for the sake of selfish ambition and territoriality of the Ampatuan prowling lions of Maguindanao. In due time, the Word of God clearly elaborates more and let us hear what could be the cry for righteousness and justice of those who have been buried i... Continue reading ...
We are taking sometime to absorb the lessons that we can get from the recent albeit macabre Ampatuan massacre. As Christians who are called to be the salt and light of the earth, we are supposed to be shining our light on issues in our
For there to be justice in the land, a judge must be impartial, decisive and takes action on the basis of evidences and witnesses communities that beg us to question why? And how we can avoid those same pitfall that our brethren has fallen to. We are decei... Continue reading ...
William Tyndale
A man with genuine faith once stood without regard for his life and
said, “I defy the pope, and all his laws;” and added, “If God spared
him life, ere many years he would cause a boy that driveth the plough
to know more of the Scripture than he did.” So William Tyndale begun
the English Reformation that changed the very flavor of Christianity in

Previously we discussed that there is an ongoing battle
between light and darkness and ultimately, light will win just as when
you open your lights at night, it drives away darkness in the room. A
basic way to gain understanding how best   Blackholes can suck the light of others when nearby stars passes them by we can truly become the light of the world, is by examining the
Scriptures which Jesus used to teach the people about being lights. It
is imperative that if we want to properly u...
Given all the prevailing issues that have come due to the
floods that has brought our country to its knees, there is only one
sure solution that everyone of us need to understand. We must build our
houses on the Rock, that is plain, stable and solid ground that none
can push away. This Rock is not dead, nor is it of volcanic origin or
“earthly” as many geologists would mistake. It is not. We have to see
the perspectives that is upon us now by asking three salient questions,
1) Wh... Continue reading ...
Can a nation be born again? Can it emerge from where it was mixed up and bring a distinct culture, language and practice that it is? This is the story of the Bago tribe as remarkable as this must be, yet in the story of nations and how they evolve into a distinct race and culture of their own, the Bagos can be called to be a nation of their own. The word nation means ethnos in Greek, which distinctly applies to every tribe that is found on earth today having come from different parental sourc... Continue reading ...
We continue our discussion on how we can best become the harbingers of peace and light into our families, communities and eventually our nation. The church is the most powerful entity in this world when we all combine our resources together as one big cooperative and institution. Whenever the Lord looks down from heaven, He does not see His body as bodies but He only sees one Church, His Bride. It is therefore very repugnant if not at all presumptuous to think that we own the people of God as... Continue reading ...
In one of the most prophetic songs I have ever heard, Michael W. Smith’s Above All declares the majesty and power of God over the creation and dominion of man and all created beings. God’s power is really above all authority, above all powers, above all kings, above all thrones and dominions-He truly is the epitome, the one above all things. If Jesus is then King above all, what is the question? This is the struggle of all believers during times of crisis and during trials. Can God be tru... Continue reading ...
I was wondering if there were signs to be observed and things that we have overlooked why we have not known before hand the magnitude of the flood that will be coming. If we could have known then we could have prepared very well. This in essence is the conclusion of many of those who were surprised of the flooding that took away millions of pesos of infrastructure damages and more than a hundred lives.  Because we thought that PAGASA forecasts are not worth learning, most of us were caught una... Continue reading ...
This past two days we saw the great swell of water that flooded Marikina, Rizal, Bulacan and 23 other provinces that could only be described as catastrophic in nature. Typhoons and hurricanes represent one of the most potent forces of nature that could ever bring disaster on earth. With an average of 20 typhoons passing all over the country, there is no doubt that it takes a great faith and patience to truly build something of value and wonder in our country specially in Luzon and parts of Vi...

Previously, we discussed that one of the greatest barriers that is coming down is the carnal reasoning that we must only take good care ourselves and forget the others. Being our brother’s keeper is loving our neighbor as we love ourselves which is the second commandment of Love. Probably, all the great mistakes in history is rooted in self-preservation, thus Jesus forewarned “For whoever wishes to save his life shall lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake shall find it. “For w...

Jim Eliot once said, “He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to
gain that which he cannot lose.” Or that it is not foolish to lose what
we cannot truly keep when we part in this world in order to gain the
eternal recompense of our reward. Man was made for this destiny, to
walk the earth and at the same time soar high in the heavens. In this
world, the eternal things are often subject to ridicule and the scorn
of those who loves this present world. This we cannot deny for even
after m... Continue reading ...
“Therefore bring forth fruit in keeping with repentance” (Matthew 3:8)
When we are building a foundation, we want to have the most secure
foundation. The only foundation that we can have is repentance. If we
want to build the truths of Christ in our lives, the foundation must be
deep because unless it can support the truths that we will build upon
this foundation, it will eventually topple down. Truths in our lives
are like a woven cloth. I tell you a story.
In the northern mountains Luz... Continue reading ...
Joshua, the Lord’s leader of the Israelite Army has grown
too old already for war and there are still many lands undistributed
and lands to conquer. Thus, he finally instructed his comrades and the
next generation of Israelite army who had been fighting to gain land
and territory in Canaan (Promised Land) saying:
“Now therefore, put away the foreign gods which are in your
midst, and incline your hearts to the LORD, the God of Israel.” And the
people said to Joshua, “We will serve the ... Continue reading ...

About me
| Edison Macusi |

Our heartbeat is to disciple the youth of this generation and be a prophetic voice that declares the power of God to change men's heart, even the most evil to become the foremost saints of the Lord and take the land for His honor and glory and hasten the appearance of His Kingdom on earth as it is in heaven. Our main purpose is to publish articles, books and preachings that will not only stir the hearts of men to seek the Lord but to equip them so that they will become firebrands of revival and healing wherever they move and set their feet upon. The promise is sure, to them who will give their lives for His utmost purposes, He is able to fill them with His Spirit without measure!
