Iglesia Ni Cristo Day

This post is labeled under Personal Development


Today, July 27, 2009, marks the 95th anniversary of re-establishment of Christ’s church at the far eastern part of the globe. We take pride as members of Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church Of Christ) of reaching its present glorious stature as God’s blessings to us.

I will not discuss our doctrines / beliefs here but give you a glimpse of Iglesia Ni Cristo as a people and a few qualities adored about us.

Iglesia Ni Cristo Central Temple, Quezon City, Philippines
Brotherly love

Iglesia Ni Cristo comes from different 102 races and covers 90 countries and territories from the six continents of the world. We members may belong to different cultures but we act as one to fulfill man’s primary duty to worship God.

Though sometimes misunderstanding arises amongst us, we seek no court of law to settle our disputes. We proceed first to our church elders who provide us wisdom and suggest actions that will maintain peacefulness and brotherly love within us. We respect the wisdom of our leaders that strengthens the relationship of living harmoniously with one another.

Sacred duties

Every member of the church is bound to fulfill one’s duties in glorifying God. That is why you could observe members attend worship services religiously. We do not do this to please anyone nor to display holiness among men. We are bound to carry on with this duty till the end.

We find solace attending church worship services. Our chapels serve as refuge as we say our fervent prayers and find God’s comfort. Fulfilling our duties does not burden us but gives strengths in battling the challenges of daily living. Words of God feed us hope and advise us to have a meaningful life.

Church Administration

Brother Erańo G. Manalo, Iglesia Ni Cristo Executive Minister, attends to the needs of the church. He continuously devotes his life serving God’s ultimate purpose of His church. He never ceases to think how to uplift the spiritual condition of every member of the Christ’s church.

Most of his time is spent in preparing lessons based from God’s words. He teaches us to seek God, the sole Provider of solutions to any problem. He encourages us, above all, to devote more time serving God and never lose of that focus against gaining material wealth.

Members of the church respect Ka Erdie’s (as brethren call him) decisions and directives. We find no fault on his decisions for we know he protects the Church from harm. He continues to build magnificent houses of worship through out the land. He assures the needs of the Church by joining him always to ask God’s blessings in prayers. Just like a pastor herding his flock, he makes sure everyone is safe as soon as the Master returns.

An Invitation

We invite everyone to attend our religious rallies, “pamamahayag” (grand evangelical missions), and worship services near to your place. You may ask any of our members and will gladly to take you to our chapels to know more about our faith.

Church ministers and workers will answer any of your questions so you may know other qualities our church has that bewilder “experts” the way the church progresses even on the most turbulent times.

Happy 95th Anniversary to all members of Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church of Christ) worldwide!
