The Lord’s Flock Catholic Charismatic Community held its Global Anointing on October 20, 2024, at the Heritage Center Sanctuary. It was attended by the Community’s leaders and workers from all chapters worldwide. The anointing day is a regular event to consecrate the Community’s workers to fulfill God’s work and win souls for Christ through the guidance of the Holy Spirit; it is also an opportunity to share significant updates on community initiatives, events, and financials.
Raymund Nobleza (Psalm Ministry Steward) warmly welcomed everyone and emceed the program. Justin Pacquing (Psalm Ministry) led the praising that formally opened the Anointing Sunday.
Updates: What the Lord Has Done
As a regular feature, Bro. Froilan Hong (Co-founder) reported on the Community’s financials from July to September 2024. The congregation praised the Lord for the Php900k balance in the storehouse, after the expenses for the 3-month period.
Dinky Florentino shared updates on the Heritage construction, particularly the new LED screen on the stage and the air conditioning units in the Sanctuary, the purchase and installation of which were initiated by Bro. Bobby Rodriguez (Elder-Founder).
Grace Lomarda (Execom) reported on the status of the “Pillars” and exhorted both the Partners in Mission and all members to update their Pillars contribution especially for Year 2024.
Teaching: Corporate Anointing
Sis Techie “Soar” Rodriguez shared a teaching about corporate anointing (2 Corinthians 5:11-14): that we are joined in unison to praise God.
She reviewed the 3 kinds of anointing:
- Lazarus anointing – present in everyone who confessed and was forgiven
- Priestly anointing – to serve varied functions using the gifts of the Holy Spirit
- Kingly anointing – enhances gifts, and empowers to use these gifts
To further understand corporate anointing, she emphasized the three elements present in several instances of united prayers in the Bible:
- United/in unison/one accord
- Small groups/communities
- Worship with gladness and joy
(Sources in the Bible:2 Corinthians 5:11-14, Acts 2:46-47, Acts 16, Psalm 22)
Subsequently, Soar announced that Mikaela Rodriguez-Flores is commissioned as Head Servant of the five-fold ministries: Evangelize. Pastor. Equip. Serve. Send. (E.P.E.S.S.). She will start in 2025 but is already meeting and preparing with the Board of Trustees.
Lastly, Soar also announced the theme for the International Retreat that will be held in November in Las Vegas “Walk with You.”
Anointing of Workers
Elders-Founders Tatay Bob and Soar Rodriguez and Co-Founder, Bro. Froilan Hong, led the anointing of the workers.
Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament
Finally, as the highlight of the anointing, the Blessed Sacrament was brought around the Sanctuary in a moment of silence, reverence, and reflection.
To God be the Glory!
