Faith in the Right Perspective, Perfected through Love: Day 3 of the MCGI 4th Quarter 2025 International Thanksgiving
The MCGI Chapel in Apalit, Pampanga, was filled with an overflowing spirit of gratitude as the Special Thanksgiving of God’s People for the fourth quarter of 2025 reached its heartfelt conclusion on December 21, 2025. Across time zones and continents, thousands of voices converged into a singular resonant chorus—not merely to mark the end of a quarter, but to offer a solemn sacrifice of thanksgiving for a year defined by divine deliverance. The spiritual well-being of the brethren was profoundly nourished through the biblical wisdom shared by the MCGI Overall Servant, Brother Daniel Razon. During the discussion, Brother Daniel highlighted that having the right perspective in faith means recognizing moments when one must “believe only.” Drawing from Luke 8:50, he clarified that in matters only God can achieve—such as healing and deliverance—the believer’s role is to trust completely in His power. This biblical truth is rooted in the absolute sovereignty of the Almighty, as declared in Deuteronomy 32:39 (KJV) — “See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.” As the lesson emphasized, there are instances where we must simply trust in what God can do. Faith, Brother Daniel clarified through the Holy Scriptures, is perfected only when it works through love—specifically by fulfilling the command to love one’s neighbor as oneself. This is the fulfillment of the Law of Christ, as declared in Galatians 5:14 (KJV): “For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.” As the three-day Thanksgiving concluded, the atmosphere was one of profound relief and renewed purpose. This quarterly celebration served as a vivid testament to God’s great mercy—the same compassion that has sustained the brotherhood through the years and the divine guidance we trust will carry us in the unknowns of the days to come. To God be the highest praise and all the glory, forevermore!
