Perfect 10-God’s Winning Strategies:Commandments– Talk 4
Speaker: Bro Didoy
Rely on God’s grace
God made you like himself
You are made in the image and likeness of God
Genesis 5:1-2
“When God created mankind, he made them in the likeness of God.
He created them male and female and blessed them.”
Speaker: Bro Bo
Commandment 8: Do not bear false witness
Exodus 20:16
“You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.”
Proverbs 10:19
“Don’t talk so much. You keep putting your foot in your mouth.
Be sensible and turn off the flow.”
TURN OFF THE FLOW!
1. Tell the truth
Normally, it does not feel good if you tell a lie
When you do not tell the truth, something in you is bothered
You are not made for lies, you are made for truth
2. Spread the truth
There is a difference between accuracy and truth
Every time I open my mouth, ask myself am I building up or tearing down?
if you have nothing good to say, don’t say anything
3. Live the truth
John 14:6
“I am the way, the truth and the life.”
Ephesians 4:29
“Do not use harmful words, but only helpful words,
the kind that build up and provide what is needed,
so that what you say will do good to those who hear you.”
STOP SLANDER
Matthew 7:1
“Judge not, that you be not judged.”
Commandment 9 and 10: You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife and goods.
It’s all about envy
Envy is a hidden disease
Envy appears when you make others as measuring stick for yourself
Why do we sin?
Other religious leaders say, because man is disobedient
For most people, they sin because of self hate
Inferiority
They think they belong to the mud
Broken person act broken
Speaker: Bro Didoy
Change the label
Change your perspective
People who change their perspective, change their lives
There is always hope
Change your labels change your life
Change your label from being a sinner to a saint
You are loved by God

Big Message : GO ALL IN
Don’t see things in portions
Look through it as a whole
Wholeness of the message
Understanding things in its totality
Deuteronomy 29:9
“Therefore keep the words of this covenant and do them,
that you may prosper in all that you do.”
Commandment 5 to 7
5. You shall NOT kill.
6. You shall NOT commit adultery.
7. You shall NOT steal.
We go in the Spirit of the Law
In general, 10 commandments are 10 doors
You open a door and go inside
These commandments are the biggies.
Yet avoiding them is simply the minimum.
Nobody gets fully blessed by simply avoiding
the NOT-TO-DO Things.
You may say “I did not do anything wrong”
or “I did not hurt or stepped on anybody.”
But the question is, “Did you do something good?”
“Did you helped somebody?” or “Did you love someone?”
Matthew 22:36-40
(Mark 12:30-31 / Luke 10:27)
“Teacher, which law is the greatest commandment in the law?”
Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord you God with all your
heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’
This is the first and greatest commandment. And
the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
On these two commandments depend all the law and
the prophets.”
Speaker: Bro JC Libiran
Commandment # 5: Do Not Kill
Is abortion murder?
Is suicide murder?
Letter of the Law: Don’t take life.
Spirit of the Law: Give life.
Hatred is murder.
Matthew 5:21-22 “You have heard that it was said to the people long ago,
‘You shall not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgement.’
But I tell you that anyone who is angry with a brother or a sister,
will be subject to judgement. Again, anyone who says to a brother or sister,
‘Raca’, is answerable to the court. And anyone who says, ‘You fool!’
will be in danger of the fire of hell.”
Romans 12:19 “Do not take revenge, my dear friends,
but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written:
“It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord.
Romans 12:20-21 “If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap
burning coals on his head.” Do not be overcome by evil,
but overcome evil with good.
Love is the best revenge.
Commandment #6: Do not commit adultery
Matthew 5:27-28 “The law of Moses said ‘You shall not commit adultery.’
But I say: Anyone who even looks at a woman with lust in his eye
has already committed adultery with her in his heart.”
Sex is not only physical, it’s spiritual
Letter of the law: Be sexually faithful to your spouse
Spirit of the law: Be sexually, spiritually, emotionally,
and mentally faithful to your spouse.
–> leads to great married sex
Sexual energy is just another form of physical energy
Transform your sexual energy into active service for humanity.
Speaker: Bro Alvin Barcelona
Commandment #7: Do not steal
You don’t get blessed by not doing things,you get blessed by doing things
Do more than what is expected of you
Walang taong naawardan dahil sa reklamo
(Nobody receives an award for complaining)
Lahat ng naging successful dumaan sa hirap
(Successful people went through difficulties)
Letter of the law: Do not steal.
Spirit of the law: Do the following:
1. Do your work excellently
A good work is
a. Results and not complaints
b. Follows and not make excuses
c. Doing and not making excuses
d. excellent work before rewards
2. Share with the poor
3. Give to the Lord
Perfect 10-God’s Winning Strategies:Commandments– Talk 2
Speaker: Bro. Didoy
1st Commandment
Exodus 20:3
“You shall have no gods before me.”
Big Message: RELAX TRUST HIM MORE
Who is your God?
He is the ultimate authority and ultimate provider
He is to whom I obey and trust
We struggle in obeying him because we struggle trusting him
Who do you trust?
Is money your god?
Is lust your god?
Are people you god? –> Do you constantly please other people?
Don’t think about what other people would tell you
Instead, celebrate who you are
Are you your own god?
Relax. Trust in God more.
God is a God of everything
Speaker: Bro Bo Sanchez
2nd Commandment
Exodus 20:7
“You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain.”
You can change your vocabulary
You blurt out if you are in distress like
“Oh my God”
Using God’s name in vain.
Matthew 7:21-23
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven,
but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name,
and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’
And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’
3rd Commandment
Exodus 20:8
“Remember the Sabbath Day, to keep it holy.”
The power of focus
The same thing with Sabbath
You need a once a week date so that you can focus on God
Be committed to God
All things will be added unto you when you seek God’s Kingdom first
We need to remember God
Fruit of Sabbath
–> You become more and more like the God you remember
–> Become more like Jesus
God is faithful
Trust Him
Have faith in Him
Speaker: Bro George Gabriel
4th Commandment
Exodus 20:12
“Honor your father and your mother, that you may live
long in the land the Lord your God is giving you.”
1 Peter 2:13
“Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every
human authority: whether to the emperor,
as the supreme authority.”
God appointed authorities
If you love them, you love God
How can you love your mother and father?
1. Give Thanks
We normally focus on what our parents did not give
Sirach 7:27-28
“With all your heart honor your father,
and do not forget the birth pangs of your mother.
Remember that it was of your parents you were born”
How can you repay what they have given to you?
Your parents are imperfect
They did things that hurt you
But there are things that they did to you that helped you
2. Give Respect
Colossians 3:20
“Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord.”
You will never regret obeying your parents
Obedience is different from respect
When you become an adults you no longer have to obey your parents in everything,
but you still need to respect
3. Give Service
God rewards honor
Trust God. Follow his will and everything will flow to you –> the grace of God

Joshua 1:8
“This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth,
but you shall meditate on it day and night that you may be
careful to do according to all that is written in it;
for then you shall make your way prosperous, and then
you shall have good success.
10 commandments
The law can be summarized in 1 word. LOVE
God’s law of love is unchanging
Speaker: Bro Bo Sanchez
If you do what is right expect to be blessed
Expectation
What do you expect if you do the laws of God?
Expect to be blessed
3 Reasons Why you need the law:
1 It Points
It points to Jesus
Galatians 3:19
“Why then the law? It was added because
of transgressions; till the offspring
should come to whom the promise had been made;
and it was ordained by angels through an intermediary.”
Proverbs 24:16
“for a righteous man falls seven times,
and rise again; but the wicked are overthrown by calamity.”
To tell you, you need a savior and His name is Jesus
You cannot do anything to make God love you more or less
God loves you not because you are good
but because He is good
In Gods eyes your a perfect 10
2 It protects
It protects from unnecessary pain
There are 2 pains:
– Necessary
– Unnecessary
God already warns us to avoid unnecessary pain
Law of God is to protect us from natural consequence
Scott Peck
– Life is difficult
There are some pains that you cannot avoid
Psalm 119:93
“I will never forget thy precepts; for by them thou
hast given me life.”
Sin always carries short term pleasure and long term pain
3 It prepares
It prepares you to prosper
There is a difference between the letter of the law and the Spirit of the law
Letter of the law will protect you from pain
But the spirit of the law will prosper you
Letter of the law – Thou shall not commit adultery – minimum
Spirit of the law – make your marriage great
Speaker: Bro Audie Villaraza
In God’s perfect time expect to be blessed
St Paul – let us not become weary in doing good
It’s not always easy to do the right thing.
Do the right thing for at the right time, we reap the harvest
Galatians 6:9
“And let us not grow weary in well doing,
for in due season we shall reap, if
we do not lose heart.”
Don’t give up
God did not call you to understand, but he calls you to trust in Him
