Faith in the PNP

As I got on the bus going to work, an early morning news program was being shown on the “on-board Audio Video system” (not much of a system if you ask me). The reception was not that good; you can hardly recognize the person speaking but in fairness…the audio was quite bearable. I shifted my attention to the fast moving traffic while trying to decode the garbled sound that was being thrown at us...then I heard a phrase that really got my interest…a Director of the PNP (Philippine National Police) was being interviewed during a charity walk that had just concluded…and he addressed the current controversy on corruption that the PNP has been facing for the past month…he said something that gave me the HOLY GOOSE BUMPS…and I’ll quote "ang pagbabago sa PNP ay manggagaling lamang sa pananampalataya sa Panginoon" Change in the PNP will only come from having faith in the Lord. *TING* My soul’s self consciousness was sending signals to my mentality trying to confirm the legitimacy of what I’ve heard …then after 30 seconds, a smile broke out…yup…what he said was absolutely true! But let me tweak it a little bit for better understanding!

Let me break it down to you like this…the only good change (absolute good) that will happen to us begins at Salvation. When we accept Christ as our own Personal Savior, the first wave of change happens…instantly we are not anymore of our father the devil, we are now Adopted Royalties...not a second later, we have inherited the Perfect Righteousness of God as the basis of his blessings for us...right then and there, we have access to grace gifts and problem solving devices! BUT WAIT…THERE’S MORE! Those are just the preliminaries…as time goes by and when we become diligent in studying the Word of God, our capacity for life increases…thus giving us the opportunity to be used of God as a source of blessing for others…and when we have reached that point where in God’s Grace is evident in our lives and the principles of God are just overflowing from our conscience…we then become a part of the pivot point of that much awaited CHANGE!

Change should be done from the inside out…not the other way around! An internal proponent should be established as the foundation of every decision you will do that will bring about change. so…I say yes…change has to come from our Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ…nothing else can bring about such divine change!
