A Call to Revival and Holiness
In his powerful preaching, Apostle Jonathan Ferriol focused on the true essence of revival within the Church. He reminded the brethren that revival is not simply a program or emotional expression, but a restoration of every believer’s first love for God.
“In this season of revival, we need to restore our first love for God. This revival of holiness and righteousness is leading us to a place of greater love for Him,” Apostle Jonathan declared.
The Apostle emphasized that revival is inseparable from holiness, citing the Scriptures: “Without holiness, no one will see the Lord.” He urged the brethren to uphold righteousness in every aspect of life and to pursue peace with all.
“In these times of revival, we should be at peace with everyone, because without holiness, no one will see the Lord,” he exhorted.
He further encouraged the Pampanga brethren to let holiness guide their conduct—inside and outside the Church—and to embrace revival as both a personal and collective commitment to live in righteousness.
A Defining Moment for Pampanga District
The visitation concluded with a renewed sense of commitment among the pastors and members. Many expressed heartfelt gratitude for the opportunity to be ministered to directly by the Apostle, reaffirming their dedication to support his vision of shepherding God’s flock with revival and holiness.
The Apostolic Visitation proved to be more than just a district gathering—it became a defining moment of spiritual renewal. The Apostle’s call to restore first love, embrace holiness, and live at peace with one another continues to resonate in the hearts of the brethren.
Through the leadership of Apostle Jonathan S. Ferriol, the Pampanga District was reminded of the foundation of their faith and their calling as 4th Watchers to live out revival in their daily walk with God. The gathering ended in thanksgiving, hope, and a strengthened resolve to press forward in this season of renewal and spiritual strength.
