In an interview with the Asian Journal Piolo Pascual have shared his best-ever decision in life that keeps him going and continue his passion as an artist and as a servant of GOD.
"I was at the top of my career when I surrendered my life to God. So many things were happening to me at that time. I had just finished Dekada 70 where we won 10 awards. At the young age of 25, I was winning awards and earning millions already. I was working then with Donita Rose and she gave me a Bible. Donita told me to read the Bible and it will change my life."
"I thought how can a book change my life? I was then, so full of myself. I can act. I can sing. I’m talented. I thought I didn’t need anything. But, I’d go home and look at my trophies and feel there is a big void in my life. I appreciated the recognition from my peers in the industry but there was still something lacking; something missing in my life. I cried out to God-I don’t know what to do." "He then made me realize that I was living a very worldly life, apart from Him. Yet, God blessed me so much. It was then that I realized my need for God—not when I was at the bottom needing help—but when I was on top and had everything but God. I surrendered my life to God. And my life has never been the same. God has become my reason for living. I live to share my faith. There is an overflowing grace of God in me. I told our pastor I wanted to just be a pastor but he challenged me to remain in the entertainment industry. He said that God put me in the field of entertainment and I can reach more people where I am. My purpose is to be someone in showbiz who can spread the Truth of God’s Word. God has placed me here and I will shine for him,"

ReplyDeleteAs the Lord said, Ye must be born again!
One of the greatest sermon of the Lord Jesus Christ is found in John chapter 3.
ReplyDeleteThe only way we can get our name in the Lamb’s Book of Life and have the gift of eternal life is the new birth or being born again.
Have you had that born again experience?
Without it, you have no hope of escaping the terrors of Hell or enjoying the glories of Heaven.
The sad thing of all, we are all separated from God and we deserve to be punished and will be eternally damned!
ReplyDeleteFor God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
To be born again means to ask forgiveness and repent from your sins and to be saved from Hell and given eternal life.
In order to be saved one has to confess that Jesus Christ is your Lord and Saviour.
No man or organization can do anything to you that will make you a child of God.
ReplyDeleteOnly which is born of the Holy Spirit will make you a child of God because Jesus said, you must be born of the Spirit.
Being born again or being saved is the work of God alone. The Bible declares: Salvation is of the Lord.
You may be having been brought up in a somewhat religious background, but religion brought no peace to your heart and soul.
You will soon realize something was missing in your life that religion had not given you. That thing that is missing, is your relationship to your Maker, the God who created you and He is our Abba, Father in heaven.
Religion is the worst thing that ever happened to this world.
During the time of Adam and Eve there was no religion.
When they committed the first sin, it was their relationship with God that was broken and it resulted to the separation of man from God.
The Lord Jesus Christ never introduced religion to humanity!
Religion is a system of beliefs and actions that one subscribes to in order to express a devotion to whatever they place of highest value.
Religions contradict each other; therefore, they cannot all be true.
If they cannot all be true, it cannot be true that all religions lead to God.
Religion tries to make it difficult for men to be made right with God.
Religion makes it impossible for men to be saved.
Only God can saves us from the fires of Hell.
God said in the Old Testament, I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour. (Isaiah 43:11 kjv).
It means, only God is our Savior and no one else! Salvation is not found in a religion, but in the person of God’s only begotten Son, the Lord Jesus Christ who died, buried and rose from the dead, and who said that He alone is the way, the truth, and the life. He alone defeated death, grave and Hell.
Jesus Christ alone is the Saviour of the world. Yeshua (Jesus) and YHVH (Yahveh) are one!
Warning: Before Judgment Day, the Holy Scripture warns everyone, ...Prepare to meet thy God...
wow What an amazing God we have for the life of this man. So moved. To God be all the glory!!!
