Christmas Overnight Celebrations - Weekly Family Appointment With El Shaddai

Saturday, December 19-20, 2009

Gospel Reading (As read by our Servant Leader, Bro. Mike Z. Velarde): Matthew 12:15-21

God's Chosen Servant

When Jesus heard about the plot against him, he went away from that place; and large crowds followed him. He healed all the sick and gave them orders not to tell others about him. He did this so as to make come true what God had said through the prophet Isaiah:

"Here is my servant, whom I have chosen, the one I love, and with whom I am pleased. I will send my Spirit upon him, and he will announce my judgment to the nations. He will not argue or shout, or make loud speeches in the streets. He will not break off a bent reed, nor put out a flickering lamp. He will persist until he causes justice to triumph, and on him all peoples will put their hope."

Healing Message by the Servant Leader: HOPE - The real message of Christmas

There are seven things that hope gives to believers:

1. Hope powers our faith
2. Hope enables believers to face sufferings, trials & persecutions with confidence.
3. Hope enables believers to rejoice in the midst of trials
4. Hopes equips believers for spiritual warfare
5. Hope enables believers to face death with confidence or assurance that there is life after death
6. This blessed hope enables believers to be bold to witness or testify, bold to evangelize, bold to worship in spirit and in truth
7. Hope assures believers of their heavenly inheritance

May the birthday of Jesus Christ gives us hope that there is always a victory after every trials and sufferings.

May you be blessed!

Family Appointment With El Shaddai

Tuesday, December 15, 2009
Family Appointment With El Shaddai, AMVEL City

Healing message given by Bro. Mike Z. Velarde, Servant Leader of El Shaddai

Gospel reading: Matthew 13:36-43 - Jesus Explains the Parable of the Weeds

When Jesus had left the crowd and gone indoors, his disciples came to him and said, "Tell us what the parable about the weeds in the field means." Jesus answered, "The man who sowed the good seed is the Son of Man; the field is the world; the good seed is the people who belong to the Kingdom; the weeds are the people who belong to the Evil One; and the enemy who sowed the weeds is the Devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvest workers are angels. Just as the weeds are gathered up and burned in the fire, so the same thing will happen at the end of the age: the Son of Man will send out his angels to gather up out of his Kingdom all those who cause people to sin and all others who do evil things, and they will throw them into the fiery furnace, where they will cry and gnash their teeth. Then God's people will shine like the sun in their Father's Kingdom. Listen, then, if you have ears!"


Looking back at the Parable of the Weeds:

Matthew 13:24-30

Jesus told them another parable: "The Kingdom of heaven is like this. A man sowed good seed in his field. One night, when everyone was asleep, an enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and went away. When the plants grew and the heads of grain began to form, then the weeds showed up. The man's servants came to him and said, 'Sir, it was good seed you sowed in your field; where did the weeds come from?' 'It was some enemy who did this,' he answered. 'Do you want us to go and pull up the weeds?' they asked him. 'No,' he answered, 'because as you gather the weeds you might pull up some of the wheat along with them. Let the wheat and the weeds both grow together until harvest. Then I will tell the harvest workers to pull up the weeds first, tie them in bundles and burn them, and then to gather in the wheat and put it in my barn.' "

Points To Ponder:

-The life of a person who listens to the word of God is changed for good.
John 10:10 - The thief comes only in order to steal, kill, and destroy. I have come in order that you might have life - life in all its fullness.

-The Kingdom of heaven is reserved only for the righteous. But how do you know if you're righteous or not? Let's look at the scriptures:

Matthew 25:31-46 - The Final Judgment

"When the Son of Man comes as King and all the angels with him, he will sit on his royal throne, and the people of all the nations will be gathered before him. Then he will divide them into two groups, just as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the righteous people at his right and the others at his left. Then the King will say to people on his right, 'Come, you that are blessed by my Father! Come and possess the kingdom which has been prepared for you ever since the creation of the world. I was hungry and you fed me, thirsty and you gave me a drink; I was a stranger and you received me in your homes, naked and you clothed me; I was sick and you took care of me, in prison and you visited me.' The righteous will then answer him, 'When, Lord, did we ever see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you a drink? When did we ever see you a stranger and welcome you in our homes, or naked and clothe you? When did we ever see you sick or in prison, and visit you?' The King will reply, 'I tell you, whenever you did this for one of the least important of these followers of mine, you did it for me!'

"Then he will say to those on his left, 'Away from me, you that are under God's curse! Away to the eternal fire which has been prepared for the Devil and his angels! I was hungry but you would not feed me, thirsty but you would not give me a drink; I was a stranger but you would not welcome me in your homes, naked but you would not clothe me; I was sick and in prison but you would not take care of me.' Then they will answer him, 'When, Lord, did we ever see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and we would not help you?' The King will reply, 'I tell you, whenever you refused to help one of these least important ones, you refused to help me.' These, then, will be sent off to eternal punishment, but the righteous will go to eternal life."


This gospel has not been given so much importance by a lot of believers. This is the gospel about the judgment day! And it's very clear on this one, how do you measure yourself before God. How do you know if you have been righteous or not. This gospel of the Lord totally refutes those who teaches that faith alone saves. That there is nothing you can do that will save you. This part of the scriptures prove that they are mightily wrong! For it is through your actions that your faith is proven (James 2:14). Faith that does not include actions is dead (James 2:17).

Our beloved and anointed Servant Leader, Bro.Mike, shared seven things that El Shaddai does to the righteous:

1) God loves the righteous.-Psalm 146:8

2) God does not take his eyes off the righteous.
Job 36:7 - "He protects those who are righteous; he allows them to rule like kings and lets them be honored forever."

"But the Lord laughs at wicked people, because he knows they will soon be destroyed."-Psalm 37:13

3) God protects the righteous.
Psalm 37: 16-19 - "The little that a good person owns is worth more than the wealth of all the wicked, because the Lord will take away the strength of the wicked, but protect those who are good. The Lord takes care of those who obey him, and the land will be theirs forever. They will not suffer when times are bad; they will have enough in time of famine."

4) God blesses and makes the righteous prosper.
Psalm 1:1-5 - "Happy are those who reject the advice of evil people, who do not follow the example of sinners or join those who have no use for God. Instead, they will find joy in obeying the Law of the Lord, and they study it day and night. They are like trees that grow beside a stream, that bear fruit at the right time, and whose leaves do not dry up. They succeed in everything they do.

But evil people are not like this at all; they are like straw that the wind blows away.

Sinners will be condemned by God and kept apart from God's own people."

5) God hears instantly the prayer of a righteous man.
James 5:16-18 - "The prayer of a good person has a powerful effect. Elijah was the same kind of person as we are. He prayed earnestly that there would be no rain, and no rain fell on the land for three and a half years. Once again he prayed, and the sky poured out its rain and the earth produced its crops."

Point to ponder: The most impossible things happen when a righteous man prays.

6) God delivers the righteous from all his troubles.
Isaiah 37:17-26,28-29,33-35 - "Now, Lord, hear us and look at what is happening to us. Listen to all the things that Sennacherib is saying to insult you, the living God. We all know, Lord, that the emperors of Assyria have destroyed many nations, made their lands desolate, and burned up their gods-which were no gods at all, only images of wood and stone made by human hands. Now, Lord our God, rescue us from the Assyrians, so that all the nations of the world will know that you alone are God."

Then Isaiah sent a message telling King Hezekiah that in answer to the king's prayer the Lord had said, "The city of Jerusalem laughs at you, Sennacherib, and makes fun of you. Whom do you think you have been insulting and ridiculing? You have been disrespectful to me, the Holy God of Israel. You sent your servants to boast to me that with all your chariots you had conquered the highest mountains of Lebanon. You boasted that there you cut down the tallest cedars and the finest cypress trees, and that you reached the deepest parts of the forests. You boasted that you dug wells and drank water in foreign lands, and that the feet of your soldiers tramped the Nile River dry."

"Have you never heard that I planned all this long ago? And now I have carried it out. I gave you the power to turn fortified cities into piles of rubble."

"But I know everything about you, what you do and where you go. I know how you rage against me. I have received the report of that rage and that pride of yours, and now I will put a hook through your nose and a bit in your mouth and will take you back by the same road you came."

"And this is what the Lord has said about the Assyrian emperor: 'He will not enter this city or shoot a single arrow against it. No soldiers with shields will come near the city, and no siege mounds will be built around it. He will go back by the same road he came, without entering this city. I, the Lord, have spoken. I will defend this city and protect it, for the sake of my own honor and because of the promise I made to my servant David.' "

7) Matthew 25:34 - Then the King will say to the people on his right, 'Come, you that are blessed by my Father! Come and possess the Kingdom which has been prepared for you ever since the creation of the world.'

FAITH IS POWER

Saturday, December 12, 2009 - Weekly Appointment With El Shaddai, AMVEL City

Bro. Mike's Gospel Reading:

Early next morning, as they walked along the road, they saw the fig tree. It was dead all the way down to its roots. Peter remembered what had happened and said to Jesus, "Look, Teacher, the fig tree you cursed has died!"

Jesus answered them, "Have faith in God. I assure you that whoever tells this hill to get up and throw itself in the sea and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. For this reason I tell you: When you pray and ask for something, believe that you have received it, and you will be given whatever you ask for.

And when you stand and pray, forgive anything you may have against anyone, so that your Father in heaven will forgive the wrongs you have done."-Mark 11:20-25


The Servant Leader's message centered on faith. Faith in God. Faith is power. Faith heals, it saves, it gives blessings and it changes lives. Faith brings out miracles.

Bro. Mike gave 7 steps that one must undertake in order for our faith to work wonders and miracles in our lives.

1. First, you must believe that God exists and is in you.

"To him who by means of his power working in us is able to do so much more than we can ever ask for, or even think of:"-Eph. 3:20

2. You must believe God really works and continues to work wonders and miracles in you.

3. Believe that the word of God that has been brought to you has power.

"When Jesus entered Capernaum, a Roman officer met him and begged for help: "Sir, my servant is sick in bed at home, unable to move and suffering terribly."

"I will go and make him well," Jesus said.

"Oh no, sir," answered the officer. "I do not deserve to have you come into my house. Just give the order, and my servant will get well. I, too, am a man under the authority of superior officers, and I have soldiers under me. I order this one, 'Go!' and he goes; and I order that one, 'Come!' and he comes; and I order my slave, 'Do this!' and he does it."

When Jesus heard this, he was surprised and said to the people following him, "I tell you, I have never found anyone in Israel with faith like this. I assure you that many will from the east and the west and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob at the feast in the Kingdom of heaven. But those who should be in the Kingdom will be thrown out into the darkness, where they will cry and gnash their teeth." Then Jesus said to the officer, "Go home, and what you believe will be done for you."

And the officer's servant was healed that very moment.-Mat. 8:5-13

4. Prepare the way of the Lord.

5. We must not only believe the power of God, but, we must receive it also in our
hearts.

6. We must know the word of faith that works wonders and miracles.

7. Meditate on the word of God day and night. Talk about it, think about it, and do
it!

Those are the seven things a believer must do in order for faith to work wonders and
miracles, as taught by our beloved Servant Leader, Bro. Mike Z. Velarde.

THE LORD OUR SHEPHERD



The Lord is my shepherd; I have everything I need. He lets me rest in fields of green grass and leads me to quiet pools fresh water. He gives me new strength. He guides me in the right paths, as he has promised. Even if I go through the deepest darkness, I will not be afraid, Lord, for you are with me. Your shepherd's rod and staff protect me.

You prepare a banquet for me, where all my enemies can see me; you welcome me as an honored guest and fill my cup to the brim. I know that your goodness and love will be with me all my life; and your house will be my home as long as I live. (Psalm 23)

TO GOD BE THE GLORY!

GOD OUR PROTECTOR



Whoever goes to the Lord for safety, whoever remains under the protection of the Almighty, can say to him, "You are my defender and protector. You are my God; in you I trust." He will keep you safe from all hidden dangers and from all deadly diseases. He will cover you with his wings; you will be safe in his care; his faithfulness will protect and defend you. You need not fear any dangers at night or sudden attacks during the day or the plagues that strike in the dark or the evils that kill in daylight.

A thousand may fall dead beside you, ten thousand all around you, but you will not be harmed. You will look and see how the wicked are punished.

You have made the Lord your defender, the Most High your protector, and so no disaster will strike you, no violence will come near your home. God will put his angels in charge of you to protect you wherever you go. They will hold you up with their hands to keep you from hurting your feet on the stones. You will trample down lions and snakes, fierce lions and poisonous snakes. God says, "I will save those who love me and will protect those who acknowledge me as Lord.

When they call to me, I will answer them; when they are in trouble, I will be with them. I will rescue them and honor them. I will reward them with long life;

I will save them." (Psalm 91)

EL SHADDAI-The God Who Is More Than Enough

El Shaddai means God Almighty. El points to the power of God Himself. Shaddai seems to be derived from another word meaning breast, which implies that Shaddai signifies one who nourishes, supplies, and satisfies. It is God as El who helps, but it is God as Shaddai who abundantly blesses with all manner of blessings.

God desires to bless man and provide in abundance all of man's needs. This name is indicative of a God who is powerful enough to do just that. Only an all powerful God can bless all mankind with all manner of blessings.

In 1984, Mariano "Mike" Z. Velarde, a geodetic engineer by profession and a real estate developer, started a Catholic Charismatic Group called El Shaddai Prayer Partners Foundation, International. It was first formed in Manila, Philippines. Now, 25 years after, it has grown and spread to many parts of the world with millions of members. A lot of people in the community have been blessed and experienced healing and renewal proving to the world and to a lot of skeptics that it is indeed God's work and as such, guided by the Holy Spirit. For if it's not the work of God, it would not have grown to such a multitude in only 25 years of ministry.

Many people, including Filipinos, thought the El Shaddai ministry is a different religious group when in reality it is not. It is a Charismatic Community consisting of Catholic individuals. The El Shaddai ministry belongs to the Catholic Church, financially supported by its members and spiritually supported by the Church.

The Ministry conducts its weekly mass and healing rally every Saturday from 4pm-11pm in Amvel City, San Dionisio, Paranaque City, Philippines.

Besides the weekly grand event, there is a daily worship service from 6pm-9pm (except Tuesdays which is also held in Amvel City from 4pm-10pm) in its office in Amorsolo St., Makati City, Philippines. It is during Saturdays and Tuesdays that the healing message is given by the Servant Leader himself, Bro. Mike Z. Velarde. On Tuesdays, before the healing message, Bro. Mike entertains questions from some attendees and provides them with enlightened answers.

If you want to experience God in your life, you are invited to join us in our worship of the one true God through His Son, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and be enlightened by the power of the Holy Spirit and start living a life that is truly blessed, spiritually and financially.

Come, the Lord is calling you.

"Come to me, all of you who are tired from carrying heavy loads, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke and put it on you, and learn from me, because I am gentle and humble in spirit; and you will find rest. For the yoke I will give you is easy, and the load I will put on you is light." (Mat. 11:28-30)
