Dionie ** , 47, received a surprise gift last April 2008. He became an instant millionaire when he won P 14.1 million in the lotto draw.
His lifestyle took a 180-degree turn from one of simplicity
to one of extravagance.
• He immediately
purchased a P 4,000,000 house
• He
drove around in an SUV
• He
gave "balato" (goodwill) money ranging from P1,000-P850,000 to
family, relatives, friends officemates and more
• His
past time became gambling, women and drinking sprees
He spent it all in 3 months!
Now, he owes various people almost P 500,000. Left
with no cash, he needed to get a P 500,000- PCSO assistance when he needed
heart surgery last year.
That ends my first tale.
Now, let me tell you my second story.
HE was always rich. In fact, HE is the wealthiest
for HE made everything and owns everything. More than 2,000 years ago, HE
decided to visit us to fulfill a mission. HE came to save us. HE did not have
to do it but HE gave everything for us. Jesus died for you.
Two men, two different stories. One is mortal,
the other immortal man-God. One received a gift, the other gave a GIFT. One
loss everything, the other gave everything.
Jesus gave HIS life so you can receive the GIFT
of eternal life.
Do you want to “grow” in your relationship with
Him?
The participants of the recent Southside Choices do.
They want to “grow” in their relationship with the Giver of the GIFT. The
Christian Growth Series (CGS) that started last Wednesday was meant to help the
attendees “grow” in their Christian life.
Aside from the Choices participants, there were new
guests who attended the first Talk. Truly, a blessing indeed!
Do you want to honor the Giver of this GIFT? Do
you want to grow in your relationship with HIM?
We invite you to join Pathways Southside's
Christian Growth Series every Wed 7:30pm at Richville Chapel.
Have a blessed day!
