PREFACE
In July 14, 2017 at exactly eight o’clock in the evening, we went to Tagbao-o Cogon, El Salvador City in the residence of Apostle Inecito L. Abragan/SEGUNI as Apostle Saint Phillip. Before we began, we sang a birthday song for our companion celebrant.
We started with a question regarding the status of our journey. Afterwards, he proceeded to retell his experiences from childhood, the trials and challenges of being an Apostle, and how tough is the path through ALFA.
THE 9TH ERRAND THROUGH APOSTLE INECITO ABRAGAN/SEGUNI AS APOSTLE SAINT PHILLIP
My Teenage Life
1 When I was a teenager, my parents had no permanent homeplace. The reason I had limited or inadequate knowledge about earthly living. I was only a grade three learner until forever. At the age of twelve, we transferred our residence in Gingoog City. We lived there together with the animals in the forest, wherein we could feel the cold breezed of the wind, day and night.Regardless of everything, we faced it patiently. When I reached the age of sixteen, we transferred our homeplace at Katipunan Talisay, Gingoog City. There, I became a missionary of an organization that led me into a Godly living for I believed that God guides and lives in this group since each member had no visces.
2 In the years passedby, I just discovered, it’s not the path I was looking. The reason I departed in this organization, and went to Side 2 Kagumahan, Gingoog City. I lived there with full recreational works together with my relatives. I drunk here and there, and attended “bayle” everywhere. Until the time came, rebellious people invaded our place, and they encouraged me to become their lecturer but I refused to accept it for I still feared in God despite of my ignorance and negligence. That’s why I asked my parents to go home ahead of them in order to escape the rebellious group.
3 When I arrived in El Salvador City, Misamis Oriental I went directly to my grandparents’ home for I hadn’t known anyone of my relatives except them. As I stayed for several months in their homeland, I met my relatives and our closeness intimately grew fast. Together, we influenced one another with various visces, and did truant anywhere. At the age of twenty, my parents followed after me in El Salvador City. Then, we separated from my grandparents and resided at Himaya, the place I found my destined wife.
4 The griefness and bitterness in life began when I got married. I had no stable job, so, it’s very difficult for me to raise my family. Our food and income relied on the harvest of the farm. Moreover, poverty arose when I focused myself in presiding an organization consisted of stubborn members that influenced me to do the same. I had already forgotten to pray and to serve God. I considered myself as no religion.
The Toughest Road I Went-through to ALFA
5 There was a time when my uncle, Apostle Bebito Langala/BIGABU approached and notified me about the lecture to be conducted at Himaya Chapel. He challenged me to come. In a few minutes silence and meditation, I finally decided to join, but unexpectedly a tragedy happened in my family after listening to the words of God. My eldest child and I rode at the back of the cow when it untamely ran without specific direction, we both fell. Then, the cow kicked my daughter’s head and wounded with overflown blood. We brought her to the health center in our barangay but the midwife insisted to send her in the hospital to be treated by the doctor. Instead of following the order of the midwife, I chose to bring my daughter at the Holy Cross Chapel where the Apostles had gathered. Through ALFA, the God’s Name the wound stopped in bleeding, and later on, healed.
In the following day, 63rd and Mothers Apostles informed everyone about the initiation to be done. Therefore, I decided to join but another tragedy came such as my elder daughter was being attacked by the unidentified illness. Due to her worst condition, we brought her to the hospital. Despite of it, I tried my very best to attend in the initiation, and I successfully made it, but right after I received my Second Name, my child died. Regardless of the big trials in life, I still fathomed heartily the words of God, stated as, “Spread the good news, in vacancy/betterness or in business/bitterness.” The reason I preach the words of God everywhere, whether in the shelters or in the farm. In which, the left-handed armies hated and sent me a letter stated that my preaching is equivalent or even more to a salmon of tears for my family. And since our hut is widely opened and not yet finish, my wife rattled with fears against rebellious people. At night, my wife couldn’t sleep to guard at me while I was sleeping. I was afraid she might get sick, so, I reported the incident to Mons. Camilo C. Diel Sr., the ALFA. He said, “Transferred at Baybay.”
6 There we lived at Baybay Taytay, El Salvador City. The poverty we experienced became worst. I worked to the highest effortly in order to sustain the needs of my family but still it’s inadequate. I even had forgotten my responsibility to serve God because of the almost 24 hours worked just to earn money. In His Will, He gave me a trial that reminded me with my duty. I almost drowned in my boat in the middle of the sea because of the sudden heavy typhoon that rattled me and made me worry I could no longer reach back the seashore. All I did was to pray and humbly asked ALFA to give me a chance to live. And if so, I promised Him to go back uphill in order to continue my services for Him. Luckily, I was very thankful to Mons. Camilo C. Diel Sr., the ALFA that I survived.
My Life of Being an Apostle
7 When I went back uphill, another big trial happened. My eldest child named Jo-an was cursed and paralyzed. But none of this hindered my faith and services in Him, within fact, I became a reserved Apostle. Here, Apostle Epifanio Macatual/PIGUTO saw the unfavorable situation of my daughter, so, he continuously treated it until the worst condition totally vanished and healed.
Regardless of the challenges in life I encountered, I still lived my life under ALFA’s control for I believe in Him who knows everything in accordance to His Will. I accompanied in preaching the words of God, day and night, everywhere eventhough I left away from my family for a long time. In spite of my efforts in preaching the words of God, the challenges in life remained until now.
One of the Biggest Trial of Being an Apostle
8 My eldest son named Inecito Jr. had undergone operation due to the fist-size stone in his kidney that resulted to pee and pooh uneasily with bloodspots. He was also anemic and the doctor required us to transblood him before he could avail the operation. Therefore, I asked the help of Apostle Epifanio Macatual/ PIGUTO in doing the transfer of blood through the spiritual way. With the presence of ALFA in His instrument, the operation of my son was successful and was totally treated, and currently lived normally. A big thanks to Mons. Camilo C. Diel Sr., the ALFA and OMEGA.
The Time I Replaced Apostle Ernesto Rajal As Apostle Phillip
9 When Apostle Ernesto Rajal as Apostle Phillip died, the 63rd and Mothers Apostles gathered together for a meeting. The agenda highlighted the selection of who would replace the dead apostle. Everyone agreed to choose the destined-person by picking-up system. I never expected I was the lucky one for I thought I was not yet ready. Within fact during that time I was praying I could not pick the right one, but since ALFA had chosen me I tried my best in order to perform the duties and responsibilities of an Apostle entrusted in me by the Holy Spirit. Yes, I become an Apostle but the trials in life still there. My daughter named Grace had lost her normal mindset until nowadays. A bitter thing I currently experience. Despite of the unendless trials in life with ALFA’s help, I still stood firm for my Faith in Him who indwelt Monseignor Camilo C. Diel Sr., the Christ who came back for the second time, the ALFA and OMEGA.
REMINDERS:
Everything happens with a purpose that only the ALFA knows.
