Rekindling the Covenant of Agape (Part 4)

As Narrated by: Sis. Delaiah (Desiree Ishe Gutlay)

With the Fourth Step, we are halfway thru with the Rekindling of the Covenant of Agape, thus, we are nearing to its 23rd anniversary celebration.

The Fourth Step in Rekindling the Covenant of Agape with the theme “Ako’y Kamanglalakbay Mo” (I Am Your Co-Sojourner) was held last 13th of October 2019 at Farcon Ville Covered Court, Barangay San Francisco, San Pablo City, Laguna. This special worship service was leaded by the Seven Bishops of the Most Holy Church, together with the Seven Mahanaims who represent the Seven Church Councils, and the brethren and guests from Nagcarlan and San, Pablo Laguna; Candelaria, Sariaya, and Lucena City, Quezon Province.

The sermon entitled “Ako’y Kamanglalakbay Mo: Hakbang ng Pagtatagumpay” (I Am Your Co-Sojourner: Step of Victory) was delivered by Bishop Zurishaddai. The message of the sermon clearly states that our goal as the disciples of Christ is to be the perfect children of God and we truly need God’s help for us to be able to do so. God sent us His help by giving us our brothers and sisters in the Most Holy Church to be our Co-Sojourners. Together with our brother and sisters, we will able to carry on with our spiritual journey and be victorious despite the hardships, trials, and tribulations we shall face. This will happen if we love one another and serve one another just like the example of our Lord Christ Jesus. By the love we have for one another, we shall all march towards the glorious victory God has given us.

Here are some of the captured moments during the Fourth Step.

Simultaneous with this event, the congregation of the Most Holy Church in different places in the Philippines and other countries, held worship services for the Fourth Step in Rekindling the Covenant of Agape. The Church Administration is reminding each and every member of the Most Holy Church that no one will ever achieve spiritual perfection alone because Agape is much required to do so. So let us always rekindle our love and service for one another.

The Fifth Step in Rekindling the Covenant of Agape will be held on October 20, 2019, at Lucena City, Quezon Province.
