Importance of Changing Name

An email sent from a friend...
I believe you're doing well by the grace of our wonderful Lord Jesus Christ J For those in Philippines, India & Vietnam, my prayers are with you that God will protect you from all harm and keep you safe under His loving care.

Many have asked me regarding the change in name from Toto to PEARL, well I just want to share with you the reason. Often we see in the Bible that a change of name denotes a new relationship with God, in (Genesis  17:5, 15) God changed Abram's name to Abraham, Sarai to Sarah, (Genesis 32:28) Jacob to Israel, and in the New Testament, like (John 1:40) Simon to Peter and also Saul to Paul and they did have a strong new character turn around, that's what I long for, God's transformation Power more and more in my life!

Well, I have made a commitment to God to be what HE wants me to be and prayed for over a year for a new name that would make me know and understand my relationship with Him, I received the name PEARL as a prophecy in our Church and it is one jewel that Jesus mentioned few times and now I understand that God loves me far beyond my human perspective and sees me precious even when I don't see myself worth anything at all and also God made me understand that a Pearl does not just appear but after long perseverance and time, it forms in an oyster, I then understood why God allowed me to face some painful or difficult situations in my life, so here it is, my answered prayer that will make me more intimate with my God and Savior J

It's o.k. even if some of you refer to the old name as you're not used to the new one. You're my friends still the same J have a blessed weekend.

Buried Treasures in Bohol Philippines

Written by Joe Espiritu       Four persons died in a treasure hunting accident last week. They died for nothing. Many had lost their shirts in the venture, the propensity for Filipinos to get rich quick attribute to the treasure hunting mania. The sad part is that only the ignorant venture on the search, those in the know, being sure that nothing will come out of the effort would not think of investing money, time and effort – this time lives – in a fruitless enterprise.        There had been stories of people getting rich uncovering treasure troves in unlikely places. Most stories are false. Ancient graves of archeological and anthropological value had been desecrated by treasure hunters. They had found nothing. Those people may have struck it rich but not from some hidden riches. Contrary to what other people say, there are no buried treasures in Bohol . If there had been, they were unearthed years ago.         If one ...

Sourcing of Agricultural Products

DAVAO CITY, Feb. 19, 2020 -- The Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) signed partnership agreements on Monday, February 17, 2020, with various government agencies and a private institution for the sourcing of agricultural products from agrarian reform beneficiaries (ARB) in this province. These institutions are the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology Region XI, Department of Health Region XI, Davao Regional Medical Center, Southern Philippines Medical Center, and Medical Mission Group Hospital which all agreed to assist in the government’s fight against hunger and poverty in the countryside under the Enhanced Partnership Against Hunger and Poverty program (EPAHP).
