It was during that day that I felt the lightest I’ve ever felt in my entire life – it was when I finally joined God’s Church

There are a lot of things that one can learn from a God-sent preacher, even the simplest of things like turning the faucet off to conserve water – a simple yet important lesson that I will never forget. Even without uttering a word, Bro. Eli is still able to teach goodness.

Every time I hear Bro. Eli speak, it touches my heart; his every word is heartfelt and sincere

When I first heard Bro. Eli, I didn’t like his manner of preaching. He kept on attacking other religions’ teachings. But later, I have understood that what he condemned were the un-Biblical teachings of greedy pastors.

His teachings are complete; he had answered all the questions in my mind

I truly believed deep in my heart that this is the true Church of God and its teachings are pure and nobody could withstand against it. I also believe that Bro. Eli is the true Messenger of God in our time.

I felt the presence of peacefulness, sincerity and truth in things wherein everything is based on the bible. That is the style of preaching in the Church of God.

It was the 10th of January 2005 when I had a chance to attend one of the Church services of the Church of God – the Prayer Meeting at the locale of Ortigas in Metro-Manila. After a long period of trying, I finally was able to be a part of the service which was introduced to me by my cousin who is also my sister-in-faith now.

I felt the presence of peacefulness, sincerity and truth in things wherein everything is based on the bible. That is the style of preaching in the Church of God. Not long after, I was really intrigued and curious enough until I planned to attend the next mass indoctrination held in a locale of Cubao, Metro-Manila.

At first I was ashamed, and then full of regrets, remorseful as the days seemed to darken while listening to the doctrines. Unknowingly, from listening night after night, what sank into my heart and soul were the words of God in the bible. I will never forget I-Corinthians 3:16 that held me to put all vices out of my system.

16 Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?

I newly bought a box of cigarettes then but I crushed it and threw it straight into the trash can. I couldn’t believe I’ve done it. In the middle of the indoctrination sessions I did this. I was a smoker then.

How I thanked God for guiding me, sustaining me, as the last of the doctrines were being discussed and as I got cleansed. I was left alone listening to the taped discussions as the others dropped off. As I was alone going to the locale, I began to wonder if I was doing the right thing. But I knew accepting and doing Christ teachings is a fulfilling cause. The time came when I got baptized.

In the Christian journey, I was taught to be self-disciplined in attending Church services, to be going to the church locale and to mingle with other brethren. I was able to understand the value of life, appreciating it by everyday listening to the gospel of our Lord through Bro. Eli and Bro. Daniel.

I feel now that I am in the right path though I cannot fully explain. Many circumstances prove that God is with us in this Church; many indescribable events have happened to show that God is helping us.

After all, he is worth listening to, even if you hate him

I didn’t even know why the religious organization I was affiliated with was called “Christian JHAISON” and I was called a “JHAISONITE.”

My father died without having the opportunity to be with us in the Church of God

My father got angry with us when we joined the Church of God especially with my mother. There came a point when they decided to part ways. My father died without having the opportunity to be with us in the Church of God.

Have I therefore become your enemy because I tell you the truth?

There are people, especially the ministers of Iglesia Ni Cristo of Mr. Eraño Manalo, who say that Bro. Eli is a wicked person. Of course I do not believe them, because I know that all of the things they say against Bro. Eli are mere accusations to malign his person.

Through that Dream, God was Conveying to us a Message

Perhaps God permitted it to happen that I shift from one religion to another for me to see the truth that Bro. Eli was preaching. Through him, I was able to see the wrong doctrines of the different religions.

They were talking about how Brilliant and Candid this Preacher is. So it was Bro. Eli Soriano

Later, it became a daily habit that’s hard to break – from plain amusement at Bro. Eli’s argument to the realization of the practical and the logical truth he was trying to teach.

I Witnessed how God delivered Bro. Eli from Great Peril

I was able to see how Bro. Eli stood out among the other panelists there. The answers that he was giving to the people’s queries were all derived directly from the Bible.
