For if there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant, no place would have been sought for another. Hebrews 8:7, NIV We only emphasize that Christian life we are in is not based on another form of religious ritual but on a covenant. The question is what type of covenant are you in? Is it a covenant of religion or a covenant of love? It should be a covenant of love. Love is a person and that is God (see 1 John 4:16). The covenant we are in is a covenant based on who He is and not on who we are. It's based on what He has done and not on what we have done. When you sign an agreement form, you understand what type of covenant or agreement you are signing in. And this is the reason why still many Christians missed the true essence of Christianity. It's because they don't understand the covenant they are in. In result, many are so called Christians are still living a life like they don't have Christ. There's no real transformation happened.

Isa sa pinakamayamang tao sa Pilipinas si Manuel “Manny” Villar o mas kilala sa tawag na Mr. Sipag at Tiyaga.” Isa siyang dollar billionaire. Ayon sa Forbes, ang real time net worth niya ay tumataginting na $6.7 billion as of December 22, 2019.
Bukas sa publiko ang buhay ni Manny Villar, na dati ring matagumpay na politiko bilang Congressman, House Speaker at Senator. Alam ng marami na nagsimula sa wala ang bilyonaryong real estate tycoon. Ang ama niya ay isang pangkaraniwang kawani ng gobyerno at ang ina niya ay nagtitinda ng isda.
Nagsimula rin si Manny Villar sa pagsu-supply ng mga isda sa restaurants at kalaunan ay pinasok niya ang negosyong gravel and sand noong taong 1975 – ang Metro Gravel and Sand. Bumili siya ng dalawang delivery truck at doon na umano nagsimula ang kanyang tagumpay sa real estate business.
Ang isa sa mga truck na iyon ay ni-restore ni Manny at ng kanyang team at ngayon ay naka-display sa isang shopping mall na pag-aari niya sa Alabang, Muntinlupa City – ang Starmall Alabang.
Hangad niya na mabigyan ng inpirasyon ang ibang tao upang sundan ang kanilang mga pangarap kaya niya ipinakita sa publiko ang truck na ginamit niya sa pagpapayaman.
“When I took a leap of faith in 1975, I bought this second-hand truck and started my gravel and sand business. With the help of my team, it was restored and is now on display at Starmall Alabang hoping to inspire more people to nurture their passion with hard work and perseverance, to take a giant leap of faith and build a better future for their families and this country,” post ni Manny Villar sa Instagram.
Sa pagde-deliver ng mga graba at buhangin sa mga nagpapagawa ng bahay, unti-unting natutunan ni Manny Villar ang pasikut-sikot sa home building at kalaunan ay itinatag niya ang Camella Homes na nagbebenta ng murang house and lots sa mga overseas Filipino workers.
Ang Camella Homes ang naging largest house and lot developer sa bansa.
Sino ang mag-aakala na maitatayo ang empire ni Manny Villar dahil sa gravel and sand?
