Brethren from the Baesa Congregation in the CAMANAVA Ecclesiastical District received a spiritual blessing as their worship service on March 26, 2025 was officiated by Brother Angelo Eraño V. Manalo.
After a heartfelt singing of hymns, Brother Bedanio L. Ubaldo, the district supervising minister, led the congregation in prayer to praise and thank the Lord God for His constant lovingkindness. Afterwards, Brother Angelo Manalo delivered a Bible-based lesson, in which he reminded the congregants to reflect on how they live, especially now that Judgment Day is at hand. He exhorted them to make a firm decision to please the Almighty God in everything that they do.
The brethren were taught that to be able to always please God, it is important to stay away from evil deeds, be consistently righteous, and remain focused on the things that lead them to salvation. Brother Angelo Manalo also reiterated that all members of the Church Of Christ must strive to constantly renew their lives and live differently from the people of this world.
As he concluded the lesson, he inspired the attendees by reminding them that as they continue to keep God’s commandments in their hearts and obey Him until the end, they can remain certain of receiving the promised salvation.
After the homily, Brother Daniel Solano Jr. led the congregation in a prayer reaffirming their loyalty and trust in God.
The ardent call of the Church’s Executive Minister, Brother Eduardo V. Manalo, to all the brethren to ever abound in the faith was reiterated by Brother Angelo Eraño V. Manalo when he officiated at a worship service in the Local Congregation of Mt. Heights, Ecclesiastical District of Caloocan North on March 23, 2025.
In his Scripture-based preaching, Brother Angelo Manalo emphasized the exhortation of the Executive Minister that the chosen people of God must always increase in their faith, as it will serve as their shield of protection against life’s trials and adversities. By always obeying God’s will, they will be able to reach the quality of faith that endures to the end.
Brother Angelo Manalo also reminded the brethren that shrinking back from the faith is never an option, as it is equivalent to turning away from God. Instead, the faithful must draw strength from the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.
Before concluding his preaching, Brother Angelo Manalo instructed the attendees to always seek God’s promised help through their devotional prayers. Being members of the true Church, they are assured that their prayers will be heard. But for their prayers to be granted, aside from making sure that what they pray for are in accordance with His will, they are expected by God to abound in faith and be ever zealous in all of the Church’s endeavors, as these are pleasing to Him.
Celebrants all, the local congregations of Sucat, Muntinlupa, and Talon simultaneously received a great spiritual blessing on March 16, 2025. In commemoration of their 83rd, 78th, and 42nd anniversaries, respectively, brethren from these congregations attended a special worship service that day officiated by Brother Angelo Eraño V. Manalo. The Talon Local Congregation’s house of worship served as the host venue, which was connected to the other two congregations via livestreaming.
Quoting the Bible in his preaching, Brother Angelo Manalo taught that Church members must always “aim at what is in heaven” (Col. 3:1–4 International Children’s Bible), referring to God’s promise of salvation and eternal life in the Holy City. By doing so, they would avoid doing anything that goes against His will, lest they lose the right of receiving the blessings laid in store for them. They stay focused on pleasing God by obeying all of His commands written in the Bible as long as they live. Though they may be afflicted with trials, through perseverance they are assured “that no one may take [their] crown” (Rev. 3:10–11 New King James Version), meaning, they will be saved on Judgment Day.
The supervising minister of the Metro Manila South Ecclesiastical District, Brother Jerick S. Dela Cruz, led the prayer before the preaching of God’s words. Brother Reino M. Bilang led the prayer after the homily. The offertory prayer was led by Brother Nelson A. Cabarles. The prayer for the offering and dedication of a child and the benediction were both said by Brother Angelo Manalo.
