122nd Birthday Of Bro. Felix Y. Manalo
Today, we, the Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church of Christ), are commemorating the 122nd birthday of Brother Felix Ysagun Manalo, the Last Messenger of God. Here’s an excerpt of his mini biography from Wikipedia:
Félix Ysagun was born in the Philippines to Mariano Ysagun and Bonifacia Manalo, but later had his last name changed to Manalo after his mother’s death, in reverence for his mother, historians claim, and also to fortify his ministry, the name Manalo meaning ‘to win’ in Tagalog. Others claim the change was an attempt to leave obscurity, Manalo being a more prominent name than Ysagun (the “Y” is prounounced as an “ee”).
Manalo joined and left many religious organizations as a young adult. He was baptized a Roman Catholic, but at a young age went through a succession of faiths. He joined the local spiritist cult, and was an atheist at one point, but later joined the Methodist Episcopal Church after witnessing a debate. He attended their seminary and became a pastor. He later joined the Christian and Missionary Alliance, attracted to the way their converts were baptized, which was by immersion.
His ministry led him into a debate with L.V. Finster of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. He was defeated, and convinced into joining the Adventists. He then left the Adventist church after a disagreement regarding scripture.
After he finished reading the Bible in-depth (for what sources say was three days with neither food nor rest from sunrise to sundown only), he proclaimed God gave him a mission to preach the gospel and reestablish the first church founded by Jesus.
Manalo propagated his message within his local area, growing the Iglesia ni Cristo and converting members of other religions. As membership increased, he delegated others to spread the teachings of the INC and it eventually spread throughout the Philippines and to other countries.
It has been reported that the INC’s considerable political clout began under Felix Manalo’s leadership, when Manuel Quezon, the former president of the Philippines, referred to him as “bishop” and sought support from the church.
Manalo was married to Tomasa Sereneo, with whom he had a child who died in infancy. Tomasa herself was afflicted with tuberculosis and died as well. He later married Honorata de Guzman, a fellow former Adventist. Their fifth child, Eraño G. Manalo, is now the present Executive Minister of the Iglesia ni Cristo, while his grandson Eduardo is deputy Executive Minister. Felix Manalo was afflicted with an intestinal disease and died on April 12, 1963.
Felix has a daughter, Pilar who wrote the hymns sung in the Iglesia ni Cristo.

Noong akoy inaakay ng isang kapatid sa loob ng Iglesia ni Cristo, Panay ang dahilan ko para di sumama sa kanila…Madalas akong nagtatago sa loob ng C.R. noon.
Hanggang sa naubusan ako ng dahilan at kusang nakinig sa mga aral ng Dios…Lubos akong nagpapasalamat sa Ama na nasa langit dahil akoy kanyang tinawag sa loob ng IGLESIA NI CRISTO…..Ginamit na kasangkapan ang mga kapatid upang akoy alisin sa maling relihiyon……(Ako po ay dating Katoliko)
i want to say hi sa lahat ng mga kapatid sa buong mundo lalong lalo na sa LOKAL NG PORTLAND OREGON,USA
sulong sa pagsalubong sa panginoon
ako p0 ay hnd ko maintindihan na kung anu bA ANG tamang daan na relihiyon..gusto kong ng patunay bkt?kailangan Iglesia ni kristo lang ang mabu2hay? at hnd katoliko…?panu nmn yung mga mabu2ting puso? na hnd katoliko…para sken walang makakapagsabe kung anu ang tama pero GUSTO KONG MANIWALA at makianib gusto ko ng patunay ng galing sa bibliya? un lng salamt….
yon na nga ang mahirao akala ng isang tao tama siya at ang knayang ginagawa dahil para sa mata ng tao ay tama…ngunit ang masasabi ko lang po ….hindi lahat na maganda sa mata ng tao ay maganda sa mata ng Diyos….halimbawa…pananalangin?…hindi ba aral sa bibliya iyon…pero ang ang pananalangin sa isang idolo ay labag sa bibliya….iyon lang po….
ilove IGLESIA NI CRISTO
