Give God Your Time: The 10 Percent Commitment with Eternal Rewards

Give God Your Time: The 10 Percent Commitment with Eternal Rewards

God gave you 24 hours—are you willing to return just 2 hours and 24 minutes to Him?
Many people faithfully tithe money. But what if the Lord is also asking for a portion of your time? Discover how the Hebraic principle of time tithing—giving 10% of your day—can transform your relationship with God and give eternal value to your daily routine.

What Is the Hebraic Time Tithe?

In the Hebraic tradition, tithing isn't just about finances—it includes your time, devotion, and service. If God gave us 24 hours, returning 10% means dedicating 2 hours and 24 minutes daily for His glory. That time can be spent in worship, study, prayer, acts of kindness, and service to others.

Biblical Foundations: Time as a Holy Offering

Tithing is grounded in the Torah, where the Israelites were instructed to give a tenth of their produce and income to the Lord (Leviticus 27:30–32, Deuteronomy 14:22–23). Today, we can apply this principle to time—our most limited and precious resource.

Jesus Said It Best: What Belongs to God

Jesus taught, “Render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s, and unto God what is God’s” (Matthew 22:21). Just as we meet our earthly obligations, we must return to God what is due—our time, worship, and service.

The Eternal Value of Every Minute

Time once lost cannot be regained. Offering God your time isn’t a waste—it’s a sacred investment in eternity. He sees every minute you devote to Him, and He multiplies it in spiritual blessings and divine peace.

Ways to Offer Your Daily Time Tithe

Morning Devotion (30 min): Prayer, Scripture reading, and worship.
Helping Others (1 hour): Acts of kindness, charity, or service.
Bible Study (30 min): Personal or group reflection on God’s Word.
Evening Reflection (24 min): Gratitude, journaling, and quiet time with God.

Blessings That Flow From Devoted Time

When we honor God with our time, He rewards us with spiritual growth, inner peace, and divine direction. Life becomes more meaningful. We develop a servant’s heart, and our actions reflect God's love to others.

Take the Challenge: 2 Hours and 24 Minutes for God

Start today. Set your spiritual alarm and commit to returning God’s portion daily. Use a journal, set reminders, or create a time tithe schedule. You’ll be amazed how God fills your life when you give Him room to move.

🔥 Speaking in Tongues: Never Taught by Christ, and a Direct Contradiction of the Spirit of Truth

🔥 Speaking in Tongues: Never Taught by Christ and a Direct Contradiction of the Spirit of Truth

Unveiling the truth behind the so-called "gift of tongues" — a practice never endorsed by Jesus and contrary to everything the Holy Spirit taught through His words.

If Jesus never spoke in tongues, never taught it, and never told His apostles to practice it—why is it central in many churches today? Who authorized it? Not Christ.

📖 Introduction

“Speaking in tongues” has become a signature practice in many modern churches. It's often viewed as a sign of spiritual power, divine anointing, or even salvation. Yet when we go back to the teachings of Jesus Christ Himself—the one true Teacher sent by God—we find no such command, no such practice, and not even one endorsement of tongue-speaking.

This article exposes the origin, absence, and opposition of this practice in the ministry of Jesus, and how it actually contradicts the true teachings of the Holy Spirit, spoken directly from Christ’s mouth.

📜 Section 1: Scriptural Background — What Did Jesus Teach?

Jesus said:

“The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.”
— John 6:63

Jesus taught in clear, understandable words—never in babbling sounds, gibberish, or unintelligible syllables.

He warned:

“But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.”
— Matthew 6:7

✦ Not once did Jesus say:

“You must speak in tongues.”
“You shall receive unintelligible speech.”
“The Spirit will cause you to babble.”

Instead, He said:

“When the Spirit of truth is come, He shall guide you into all truth... and He shall speak not of Himself, but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak...”
— John 16:13

The true Holy Spirit, sent from the Father, does not cause confusion, babble, or chaos. He speaks the truth, offers understanding, and provides clear instruction.

⚔️ Section 2: Key Contrasts — Spirit of Truth vs. Spirit of Error

Aspect	Jesus Christ / Spirit of Truth	Modern Tongue-Speaking / Spirit of Error
Language	Clear and understandable words	Unintelligible syllables, babble
Method	Direct speech, parables, and Scripture	Ecstatic, chaotic speech without meaning
Fruit	Understanding, conviction, repentance	Confusion, hype, emotion-driven “experiences”
Witness	Eyewitness apostles taught clearly and soberly	Preachers claim "angelic" or "heavenly" language without proof
Commandment from Jesus	Nowhere to be found	Fabricated based on Paul’s letters

🚫 Section 3: Refutation — What Jesus Never Taught

Jesus never said that speaking in tongues was a requirement, a gift to be sought, or a sign of the Spirit.

He declared:

“By their fruits, ye shall know them.”
— Matthew 7:20

The fruits of modern tongue-speaking include:

Disorderly worship
Manipulative emotionalism
False claims of divine power
Prideful declarations of “spiritual gifts”

These are not the works of the Spirit of Holiness. Jesus described the Holy Spirit as:

Teacher of truth (John 14:26)
Witness of Christ’s words (John 15:26)
Giver of remembrance and obedience, not of confusion

“He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.”
— John 8:47

If one speaks what God did not speak—and claims it came from the Holy Spirit—that is blasphemy.

✝️ Section 4: Biblical Conclusion — Christ's Words Are Enough

Jesus warned of false prophets and deceptive signs:

“For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.”
— Matthew 24:24

The obsession with signs—especially tongues—did not begin with Christ. It began with men who were not eyewitnesses, and who later influenced the churches away from the simplicity of Christ’s gospel.

Jesus said:

“It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.”
— John 6:63

This is the true “tongue” — the spoken word of God through Christ, not gibberish.

💡 Reflection and Discernment

If the practice of speaking in tongues was so important, why:

Didn’t Jesus ever model it?
Didn’t He teach it in the Sermon on the Mount?
Didn’t John, His closest apostle, ever write about it?

Instead, He emphasized:

Love, not performance
Obedience, not emotional spectacle
Teaching of truth, not confusion

We are commanded to test the spirits:

“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.”
— 1 John 4:1

🙏 Blessing & Farewell

May the Spirit of Truth guide you away from confusion and deception, and back to the clarity, purity, and holiness of Jesus’ teachings. May your faith be built not on experiences—but on the words of Christ, which will never pass away.

Shalom and light to you from Rayos ng Liwanag.

The Seven Pillars of Existence: A Divine Design for Sacred Living

🪔 Introduction

Initially, God created not only the universe but also infused it with the Seven Pillars of Existence. These are more than virtues; they are divine manifestations—Truth, Light, Love, Power, Creation, Wisdom, and Life. They shape the path of holiness and provide substance to humanity's spiritual journey.

We, as His image-bearers, were created not to make galaxies but to reflect these divine qualities in a world that constantly tempts us toward false glory. These pillars act as spiritual armor and a guide for those seeking the narrow path that leads back to God.

🧱 Pillar 1: Truth

Truth is the primary foundation of sacred existence. It is not relative, emotional, or culturally influenced. It is absolute—coming from the Spirit of God. Truth exposes what is genuine from what is counterfeit, and what is pure from what is defiled. It challenges the illusions of this world and calls the soul to embrace what is eternal and pure.

“Sanctify them through Your truth; Your word is truth.”
— John 17:17

🔥 Pillar 2: Light

Light is the essence that drives away darkness. It is not just brightness—it's understanding, spiritual clarity, and divine awareness. When light enters the soul, deception vanishes. Light isn’t found in the mind but in the inner eye of the spirit.

“I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will never walk in darkness.”
— John 8:12

💗 Pillar 3: Love

Love connects all the pillars into a single sacred wholeness. It is the thread that unites soul, body, and breath into a living being. Without love, there is no holiness. Without holiness, there is no God. Love is not emotion—it is divine purpose, the will to unite, to restore, and to give life.

“As the Father has loved Me, so have I loved you. Abide in My love.”
— John 15:9
“I have declared to them Your name... that the love with which You loved Me may be in them.”
— John 17:26

⚡ Pillar 4: Power

Power is the active force of divine love. It is not about domination or violence; it is the ability to create life, eliminate evil, stand firm in truth, and carry out the will of God without fear. Divine power is intended not for fame or might, but for inner transformation and sacred action.

“You would have no power over Me if it were not given to you from above.”
— John 19:11

🌱 Pillar 5: Creation

Creation expresses divine order. Everything born from truth, light, and love becomes a sacred work. Creation is not just about making things; it’s about fostering goodness, beauty, and righteousness in every action. We were made to create what is good.

“For by Him all things were made… and without Him was not anything made that was made.”
— John 1:3

(Note: This pillar does not support reincarnation. Rather, it affirms only one earthly life designed for sacred fulfillment.)

🧠 Pillar 6: Wisdom

Wisdom is precision in action. It does not merely teach—it guides how the soul should walk. Wisdom is rooted in truth and maintained by the fear of the Lord. It protects against deception and leads the soul with perfect timing and holy restraint.

“Everyone who hears these words of Mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.”
— Matthew 7:24

🌿 Pillar 7: Life

Life is the crown of the soul—a gift given by God, sustained through obedience, and perfected in holiness. True life is more than just existence; it is a sacred journey of returning. Only when the soul reflects all six other pillars does it earn the reward of eternal life—pure, complete, and indestructible.

“I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
— John 14:6

🔚 Final Reflection

These Seven Pillars are not just ideas—they are spiritual architecture. When these are restored within the human soul, the image of God becomes visible once again. Christ was not only the teacher of these pillars but also the vessel through whom they were fully revealed—because the Spirit of God dwelt in Him completely. To follow these pillars is to return to that image, that holiness, and that oneness with the Father.

The Hidden Truth About the Tripartite Nature of Man: Body, Soul, and Spirit

The Hidden Truth About the Tripartite Nature of Man: Body, Soul, and Spirit

Introduction

In a world confused by psychological theories, spiritual distortions, and theological contradictions, one question remains: What truly makes up a human being?

Is man merely flesh? Is he soul only? Or is he a spirit trapped in a body?

The Tanakh (Hebrew Scriptures) reveals a clear and divine blueprint: Man is composed of three distinct parts—body, soul, and spirit. Yet only the body was created. The soul and spirit, though formed and given, originate from the divine nature of the Most High.

Let us uncover the ancient light of this hidden truth.

THE POWER OF SPIRITISM IN CHRIST'S TEACHINGS

This article seeks to illuminate Spiritualism through the lens of the Tanakh scrolls, honoring the one God of heaven. It will reveal the profound distinctions between this sacred understanding and the various interpretations of Spiritualism in local customs and Allan Kardec's perspective.

Furthermore, this discussion underscores the significant divergence between Spiritism, as articulated by Allan Kardec, and the Spiritualism inherent in Christ's teachings, specifically the Gospel of the Kingdom. Understanding this distinction is essential for gaining deeper insights into spiritual matters.

We aim not to undermine the firm beliefs of anyone who believes in Him. Instead, we seek to clearly show everyone the one place where God's great order and perfect balance can be found: the Spiritualism of the Teaching of Christ.

To begin with, from the very words of Christ, he courageously declared these powerful words, stating,
