SPIRITUAL GIFTS: KEYS TO MINISTRY / SPIRITUAL GIFT INVENTORY TEST
I wrote this friendship covenant (agreement) way back in 1997 as Cindy (now my wife) and I were getting to know each other. I’ve put it in a picture frame and gave it to her with a special token. As I look back, I see how important commitments are and how important it is to have special written agreements. I am sharing this with you.
A COVENANT OF FRIENDSHIP
Our mutual love for the Lord Jesus led us to decide to commit ourselves into this important relationship of friendship. As we enter into this covenant (promise, contract, binding agreement) of friendship, may these tangible tokens represent our commitment and help remind us of a relationship we need to solidify, value highly, and care personally.
As friends, we promise to be faithful to each other as born of unconditional love. We will stand strongly together and refuse to rely solely on self. Mutuality, not individualism or competition, will mark this precious friendship.
We will not be selfish but will remain loyal to each other. Your interests are to be more important than my own, and , likewise, you will feel the same way about my interests. Our friendship involves a concern for and involvement with the well-being of each other. Thus our friendship will be marked with: unconditional love, personal enjoyment, mutual acceptance, mutual interests, mutual commitment, and mutual loyalty.
Our close frienship will be a result of the application of principles recorded througout the Word of God; a frienship that is prayer-based, Jesus-centered, and Spirit-blessed.
Entering into this rare friendship involves revealing ourselves in confidence to each other. AS faithful friends we promise to keep confidences.
For our friendship to flourish, there will be intimacy to “carry each other’s burdens” (Galatians 6:2). We will have the courage to challenge each other, to fight for each other’s spiritual and relational growth. We will always make time for each other and fight for this friendship.
With God as our witness, we commit ourselves into this binding relationship and begin to nurture a more personal, more intimate friendship. To become one in thought and heart and spirit.

Where are you with God these days?
If you feel you have drifted far from God and don’t know how to get back, this sermon is for you. If you feel you are just going through religious routines and habits, then it’s time for you to have a closer look at your spiritual health.
If you feel cold and distant with God; if you’re feeling like a wanderer lost in a spiritual desert, God wants to take you to a better place. He wants to embrace you in His arms and restore your soul. He wants you to know that He’s real and that He can give you renewed purpose and joy beyond measure.
How might you restore that spiritual passion of earlier days? The following points in this sermon just delivered a few hours ago at Philippine International Church of the Adventist University of the Philippines, are intended to give you a jump start toward restoring your spiritual passion. I have also included the Faith on Fire Video that served as the appeal song.

Most of us are familiar with the Lord’s Prayer. Yet one of the shortest prayers in the Bible is recorded in the Old Testament. It’s popularly known as the Prayer of Jabez. A prayer that had made a huge difference and turning point in my Christian life and ministry. I am sharing this sermon with you which I just delivered a few hours ago at the Philippine International Church during the Midweek Prayer meeting.
