INVOCATION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT –
ALMIGHTY AND MERCIFUL GOD, we invoke Your Holy Spirit to come to us this
afternoon in praise and worship to Your Name. YES LORD, we celebrate this
afternoon as we are so bless because You have bless us to be here all thru out this
quarantine. We are here… We are here Lord… We are here to praise YOU!
SPIRIT SONG – We are here to praise You
ADORATION –
In Matthew 8:25-26 ***JESSUS CALMS THE STORM*** The disciples went to Him
and woke Him up. “Save us, Lord. We are about to die”. Jesus said “Why are you
so frightened?”. What little faith you have. Then he got up and ordered the winds
and waves to stop. And there was great CALM..
Yes Lord, we have had many many challenges since March. And the scarriest of all
is when the whole world was put on HOLD. We were all summoned to STAY
HOME, curfews and checkpoints were donned. We all got really scared just like
the disciples, we experienced something that I thought can only happened in the
movies. I never thought Lord I could experienced PANDEMIC in this lifetime. Yet
during those times that we’er in home, I realized that YOU were telling us to
COME HOME, COME HOME to a place that somehow became just a sleeping
space before Covid. YES, we failed to see that even before the virus hit us, we
were already contaminated with the contagion of indifferences, negativity and
Worldly. Some of us were already living on thin threads not knowing that we have
gotten this ill in spirit. That was when I knew that YOU ARE IN CONTROL LORD
GOD because families were reconnected, friends and everything that matters the
most... Lord Your message was so clarifying to me. Many days I would sit in our
home, sighing across the windows across the skies, and I said to myself “ASA
KAHA TA KARON KUNG WALA ANG GINOO”. Everytime I watched Senyor
STO.NINO processioning the streets of Cebu at night, I cried each time because
our Poon Senyor Sto.Nino came out of His church to reached out to us, to blessed
us, His Beloved people. Thank You Senyor Sto.Nino for watching over us and for
reminding us every night to “BE NOT AFRAID”.
ADORATION SONG- BE NOT AFRAID (YOUTUBE VIDEO TO BE SUNG BY MAE
BUQUERON)
CONTRITION-
Merciful and Loving God, it is in this terrible trying times we are all reminded how
we have misunderstood You many many times. We kept failing You because being
human makes us proud and arrogant without even us noticing it. I also realized
myself nga galagot ko sa mga gahig ulo nga ga suroy suroy. That’s when I
remembered how Jesus was rejected, persecuted and nailed to the Cross,
because people then were so naive – They too were misunderstood Lord God.
FORGIVE US for our ignorance and frailty, please take away the arrogance and
pride in our hearts, for becoming and lured by Satan to be worldly. Please forgive
us for failing You many many times, yet You stood behind us despite our
sinfulness and unworthiness.
THANKSGIVING –
Lord, despite our fears and doubts, You continue to blessed us more than what
we deserve. We are here, we survived the fear and chaos satan has injected to us
on social media and the news, but Your love sustain us, Your love strengthen us
and gives us Hope that “This too shall pass in the mighty name of JESUS”.
Thank You for continously using us to bless others as You bless us. And FOR ALL
YOU’VE DONE..
THANKSGIVING SONG – FOR ALL YOU’VE DONE
SUPPLICATION –
All powerful and mighty God, We surrender to You our LIVES, our FAMILIES,
FRIENDS. May You grant us inner peace and to find rest in Jesus in the midst of
these trying times. Strengthen us Lord by the power of the Holy Spirit to not only
see the blur of our material well-being esp those who have lost their jobs in this
pandemic. But to see You as the source of true joy as we confess that without You
we ARE nothing, and without You we HAVE nothing. WE pray that You will put
Covid to an end and cleanse us all from our fears. HEAL the world that all things
will work according to Your plans and purpose.
