There is victory in death. Man's purpose on earth is to "fear God and keep his commandments" (Eccl. 12:13-14). A brother or sister who has "died in the Lord" (Rev. 14:13), having spent his years of life faithful to the Lord and having died in full possession of his faith in Jesus, has won a victory through Jesus. Such a man has overcome the temptations of the devil, the attacks on his soul, maintaining his faith in God to the end. Listen to these precious promises which God has given to those who overcome: "To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God" (Rev. 2:7).
Our sister in Christ, Lourdes Flores Noa, died and we are requested to preach on the last funeral service before the burial in Tico, Magpet, Cotabato. Her family are all members of the Church of Christ for many years. Her son, Jimmy Noa Sr., is our co-preacher. Her family worked hard to preach the truth in this area and helped established congregations.
My father, Julie Divine A. Notarte, was requested to preach the word of God to comfort them and to preach the truth to many people who attended who are not yet members of the Church. We pray that God touches their hearts to obey. Brother Joseph Notarte lead the songs and other preachers who cooperated were brother Jonathan Notarte and Alejandro Anoling Sr. Please pray for her family that God comfort them in these hard times.
