Word of Wisdom from Mi Daily Devotion 

Proverbs 29:1 KJV
[1] He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.

Hardeneth or hardened heart, stiff neck, hard headed or rebellious are the words we used to a person who disobey, don't listen to good counsel, or refused to accept instructions or rebuke. In the Bible, the people with a hardened hearts are:

I- The people who reject God's Word. Jeremiah 19:15 KJV [15] Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring upon this city and upon all her towns all the evil that I have pronounced against it, because they have hardened their necks, that they might not hear my words. (II Kings 17:14; I Samuel 15:23- 26)

II- The person who refused God's workers- Exodus 8:19 KJV [19] Then the magicians said unto Pharaoh, This is the finger of God: and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as the Lord had said. (Exodus 7:13- 22; Nehemiah 9:16; I Samuel 8:7)

III- The pastors, preachers, or people who retract from God's perfect will- Hosea 11:7 KJV [7] And my people are bent to backsliding from me: though they called them to the most High, none at all would exalt him. (II Kings 17:15; Romans 12:1- 2)- By Ely Roque Sagansay

Word of Wisdom from Mi Daily Devotion

Proverbs 28:1 KJV
[1] The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.

We may think of the wicked as those who are in all kinds of vices or those who's lives in bondage to immorality or a servant of habitual sins. The Bible says the wicked are:

I- The Godless - Job 18:21 KJV [21] Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God. (Psalm 10:4)

II- The Greedy - Psalm 28:4 KJV [4] Give them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their endeavours: give them after the work of their hands; render to them their desert. (Psalm 37:21)

III- The Gossipers - Psalm 109:2 KJV
[2] For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue. (Psalm 139:20) - By Ely Roque Sagansay

Word of Wisdom from Mi Daily Devotion

Proverbs 25:1 KJV
"These are also proverbs of Solomon, which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied out."

"Proverbs" is a word used by many wise persons. It's the wise people's expression be it in words, in paper and pen or (electronic file) of what they have in minds. 

I- Proverbs- the words of the wise. Ecclesiastes 12:9 KJV [9] And moreover, because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yea, he gave good heed, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs.

II- Proverbs- the words of wisdom. Proverbs 10:1 KJV [1] The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother.

III- Proverbs- the words from the Word of God. John 16:25 KJV [25] These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father. - By Ely Roque Sagansay

Word of Wisdom from Mi Daily Devotion 

John 10:10 KJV
"The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly."

Our enemy the devil wanted to DESTROY us in our:
I- Temptation- Luke 4:13 KJV
[13] And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season. (Matthew 6:13; 26:41)

II- Trials- 1 Peter 1:7 KJV
[7] That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: (I Peter 1:8- 12)

II- Triumph- Colossians 2:15 KJV
[15] And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. (Psalm 25:2; 41:11)- By Ely Roque Sagansay

Jesus called us:

Undesirable SERPENTS- VIPERS - Matthew 23:33 KJV [33] Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?

Unclean SEPULCHER-  WHITE HYPOCRITE - Matthew 23:27 KJV [27] Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.

Unprofitable SERVANTS- BONDSERVANTS- Luke 17:10 KJV [10] So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.

The best title to pick is servants, but if you study Bible and world history (including the US) being a servant is undesirable. It's the meanest, lowest type of job during Jesus' times... (Philippians 2:5- 11)

Nike Actually Lost Pacquiao and His Followers

Christians who loves the traditional values, as well as the family loving people who read and heard of the Nike cutting off the contract of Manny Pacquiao may just look at it as personal or business on the part Manny; but I look at it as an attack to traditional marriage and Christian values. Nike was not hesitant of dropping Manny Pacquiao's contact with them after Manny's controversial comments against same sex issues.

Although Nike's business contract with Manny Pacquiao and vice versa are non of my business; I believe it's my business to inform the public that if carefully scrutinized- the reason beyond Nike's abrupt decision in cutting off Manny's contract was because they are more leaning on the offended side. I personally will not patronize Nike and all their products. And it's not because of Manny, but the obvious stance of Nike on the said issue.

If Christians will not stand against Nike right now; other sponsors, companies, businesses will do the same to Christian artists, athletes, talents, etc. in the future who will not agree with them. And Manny's case will be set up as a pattern for them to follow. - You decide and it's all up to you!

Is Manny Pacquiao in Dilemma or He is Making an Impact to Christianity and Traditional Values?

I have some friends and followers asked me about my opinion regarding what Manny Pacquiao said about gay and lesbian. Manny Pacquiao said; " “Do you see animals mating with the same sex? Animals are better because they can distinguish male from female. If men mate with men and women mate with women they are worse than animals.”

In my personal opinion, the gay and lesbians or LGBT have to ask some personal questions regarding what Manny Pacquiao said such as:
* Is it the truth?
* Why am I offended if it's true?
* Would Manny Pacquiao really look at me in the eyes and will have the perception of me like I'm an animal?
* what does the Bible says about gay and lesbian?
* What if Manny Pacquiao was just making an analogy with animals and humans with regards to relationship, finding the right match for sex, or to satiate an instinct to sexual desire to opposite sex or same sex?
* If Manny Pacquiao was wrong; does the gay and lesbian have any answer with regards to the sexual problems that they have which is Biblically and morally wrong, and universally unacceptable.
* Did he (Manny Pacquiao) make sense with his analogy?

Although what manny said is true, but he could have said it in a different way where it was not offensive to LGBT. The reason why there is no lesbian or gay animals because LGBT is a choice- obviously animals don't have a choice. The same sex marriage or gay and lesbian issues are sensitive topics that could spark in a split of a second. It may have been an issue of choice of words on Manny's part or he should have made further explanations and made his statement more clear as not to misquote or misunderstand what he said.

It's always safe for a celebrity such as Manny Pacquiao to have everything printed during the interview or make it pre- meditated answer or scripted, especially if it's sensitive issue such as same sex marriage; unless it's an ambush interview.

I am against same sex marriage, I am against LGBT, because I believe it's sinful, I believe it's against the holiness and the Law of God, it's unbiblical, it's Sodomy and abominable to God. And it's morally wrong and Universally unacceptable, even though some States, and countries tried to adopt such but it is either stained with political correctness or purely politics.

God created man (Adam) and the woman (Eve) nothing more, nothing less. He did not create gay and lesbian. God created marriage and the home in the garden of Eden. There was no same sex marriage. Obviously, such practice and lifestyle is not of God. 

If gay and lesbian is right, then God should have not destroyed and executed His judgment to Sodom and Gomorrah! It's wrong but we are not suppose to judge and condemn them (the LGBT) or treat them as a second class human beings. We must treat them with love and respect. I may not agree in their lifestyle and moral values; but it does not give me the permission or the right to degrade, condemn, judge, belittle, or disrespect them. Let God be their judge- and our judge as well, because God is the Judge of judges.

If Manny believe on what He said as from the Bible or what God said in the Bible- why apologize? If it's the truth from the Word of God, why so quick to apologize? 

The issue here is not about equality or acceptance, but moral and spiritual. Please read the verses below quoted from the Bible and please be open minded. He can change your heart and your feelings towards your opposite sex. God is the only one who can give you a new heart, and a new feelings towards your opposite sex and take out your sexual desire to same sex.

Romans 1: 17- 31
Jude 1: 7- 25
I Corinthians 6: 9- 10
I Timothy 1: 9- 10
I Timothy 2: 13- 15
II Timothy 3: 1- 7
Genesis Chapters 18 and 19
Leviticus 20: 13

Bern Sanders' Socialistic Ideology

During the Cold War, the USA was helping the countries under the oppression of the Communists Party or Socialist Ideology, and was pursuing to eliminate such; up to the point of sending our military troops to fight for democracy, and freedom from oppression. If the American voters will vote for Bern Sanders who is a Socialist, I don't know what to call them (Bern Sanders followers).

We need to educate the people of the evil of Socialism. This ideology will put this country to MORE DEBTS, make more lazy and dependent people to the rich and wealthy, more government control, more taxes to the wealthy and big businesses. The government will start telling us what to do because they pay for our children's education, put food on our table, give us free healthcare in the expense of the rich and wealthy, big businesses, and the government's businesses.

Senator Bern Sanders' followers see the good side of Socialism, not knowing the bad results of it in the process of time. Socialism means more government's power, more government control, more food stamps and free stuffs for those who don't want to work hard and climb the ladder to success. You're right- "Who will pay the taxes...?" It's so unfortunate to see so many Americans are so politically blinded, and are uninformed.

People from Cuba, the Communist Country of Vietnam, China and other Socialists and Communists countries wanted to come here in the USA and enjoy our freedom, prosperity and capitalistic ideology- unfortunately, many uninformed Americans wanted to embrace such by supporting and electing Bern Sanders. I assume many of those who flees their country and came here as a refugee or seek political asylum due to their stands against Communism and Socialism may find themselves sandwich by two countries (may nowhere to go) if Bern Sanders is elected.

Mao Zedong, Vladimir Lenin, and Karl Marx, Pol Pot and others will have their last laugh; in their grave. Fidel Castro would be laughing even in his sleep and dreams. The Socialists, and the Communist Party of the Philippines will also be celebrating.

Then, what the former (USSR) was saying during the Cold War- "We will take America without firing a shot ... we will bury you!" This is a quote attributed to the late Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev. -http://m.amarillo.com/opinion/letters-editor/2012-10-08/letter-khrushchev-prediction-slowly-coming-true#gsc.tab=0 - then this will come to pass.

Sanders Fans and Followers

According to Ezra Taft Benson, the Sec. of Agriculture of the Eisenhower administration, Nikita Khrushchev said", You Americans are so gullible. No, you won't accept communism outright, but we'll keep feeding you small doses of Socialism until you will finally wake up and find that you already have communism.

Word of Wisdom from Mi Daily Devotion 

Proverbs 2:1 KJV
"My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;"

Hide not your sin, God know every step of your way, He knows your flaws, your weakness or what you're going through. In your shortcomings and in every law that we know. You may hide it today, but it will be revealed tomorrow or may be someday, anyway.

To hide is not on God's side, but to repent and to be restored in God's love is what God want you to have. Why hide it anyway if God is on your side? Yesterday is gone and today is more of importance, therefore I bid you come to Him in repentance, because you might lost your chance.

A poem for you may help you renew, the life you hid in public view. There's nothing to hide in private or in public, because all of us are naked and its tragic. Our innocence or penitence will not hide our sins into God's presence- I ask you to consider what God want is your repentance. -  By Ely Roque Sagansay

Word of Wisdom from Mi Daily Devotion 

Proverbs 1:1 KJV
"The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;"

"David" may just be a name to many, but one thing for sure, his greatness is as bright as the stars in heaven. His love for God and his humility, it's in line with what Christ have set as an example to show to humanity.

He was the king of Israel, but he lived a life with fear in God and His Word. His life was extra ordinary, and with strength and power he reigned for all the world to see, what God can do to a shepherd boy like the son of Jesse.

This may sound like a poem or may be just a short message for thee. One thing for sure- this was not written so we can nod our head to agree. I believe God's plan and God's hand was in the son of Jesse, it's a picture of Christ for all humans will see. - By Ely Roque Sagansay
