Ano ang hinahanap mo sa labas ng katotohanan ng Diyos?

HINDI KA MAGIGING EPEKTIBO SA MINISTRY KUNG MADALI KANG MAGTAMPO

Sa paglilingkod sa Diyos, hindi lahat ng pagkakataon ay puno ng papuri at pagkilala. May mga araw na hindi ka mapapansin, hindi ka maa-appreciate, at may mga pagkakataong hindi ka maiintindihan ng iba.

Ngunit tandaan natin na ang ministeryo ay hindi tungkol sa ating sarili. Ito ay tungkol kay Cristo at sa Kanyang gawain.

Kapag ang isang lingkod ay madaling magtampo, madali rin siyang panghinaan ng loob. Ngunit ang isang pusong tunay na nakatuon sa Diyos ay natututong magpatawad, magpakumbaba, at magpatuloy sa kabila ng mga pagsubok.

Hindi lahat ng pagtutuwid ay pag-atake. Minsan, ginagamit ng Diyos ang pagsaway upang tayo ay lumago at maging mas mabuting manggagawa sa Kanyang ubasan.

Kaya kung may nakasakit sa iyo, matutong magpatawad.
Kung may hindi pumansin sa iyo, magpatuloy ka pa rin.
Kung may tumuwid sa iyo, tanggapin mo nang may pagpapakumbaba.

Sapagkat hindi tayo naglilingkod para sa papuri ng tao kundi para sa kaluwalhatian ng Diyos.

“Maging matatag kayo at huwag matinag. Laging maging masigasig sa gawain ng Panginoon.”
— 1 Corinto 15:58

😔📱 May kilala ka bang ganito?

Nasa simbahan, kasama sa pagsamba, ngunit abala sa online games, social media, o iba pang bagay na umaagaw ng atensyon sa Panginoon.

Bilang mga kapatid kay Cristo, tungkulin nating magpaalalahanan sa pag-ibig. Kung may nakikita tayong kapatid na naliligaw ng pokus sa oras ng pagsamba, sawayin natin siya nang may kababaang-loob at pagmamahal, hindi upang hatulan kundi upang akayin pabalik sa Diyos.

📖 "Sawayin mo ang iyong kapuwa nang tapat, upang huwag kang magdala ng kasalanan dahil sa kanya."
— Levitico 19:17

📖 "Ang mga sugat ng kaibigan ay tapat; ngunit ang mga halik ng kaaway ay magdaraya."
— Kawikaan 27:6

Ang pagsaway na nagmumula sa pusong may pagmamahal ay hindi paninira kundi pagmamalasakit. Minsan, ang isang simpleng paalala ay maaaring maging daan upang muling maituon ang puso ng isang tao sa Panginoon.

🙏 Bago natin itama ang iba, suriin muna natin ang ating sarili. Tayo ba ay tunay na sumasamba nang buong puso, isip, at kaluluwa?

Nasa simbahan ka man ngayon, nasaan naman ang iyong puso?

Delight to Do God’s Will
Highways to Happiness

Where there is no vision the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he. Proverbs 29:18

To those who love God it will be the highest delight to keep His commandments and to do those things that are pleasing in His sight....

Says the psalmist, “The law of the Lord is perfect.” How wonderful in its simplicity, its comprehensiveness and perfection, is the law of Jehovah! It is so brief that we can easily commit every precept to memory, and yet so far-reaching as to express the whole will of God and to take cognizance, not only of the outward actions, but of the thoughts and intents, the desires and emotions, of the heart. Human laws cannot do this, They can deal with the outward actions only.... The law of God takes note of the jealousy, envy, hatred, malignity, revenge, lust, and ambition that surge through the soul, but have not found expression in the outward action; ... and these sinful emotions will be brought into account in the day when “God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.” ...

There is no mystery in the law of God. All can comprehend the great truths which it embodies. The feeblest intellect can grasp these rules....

Obedience to the law is essential, not only to our salvation, but to our own happiness and the happiness of all with whom we are connected.

Man’s happiness must always be guarded by the law of God.... The law is the hedge which God has placed about His vineyard. By it those who obey are protected from evil.

We owe to Him all that makes life desirable, and He asks of us the affections of the heart and the obedience of the life. His precepts, if obeyed, will bring happiness into the home life, happiness to every individual.

*****

Rightdoing will bring peace and holy joy. [164]

CAMPING vs AY PROGRAM

Nakakalungkot isipin na kapag may CAMPING, outing, o recreational activity, mabilis mapuno ang listahan ng mga sasama. Maraming handang gumastos ng oras, lakas, at pera upang makadalo. Ngunit kapag AY PROGRAM na, Bible study, o espirituwal na pagtitipon, kadalasan ay marami ang bakanteng upuan at kakaunti ang dumadalo.

Hindi masama ang camping. Sa katunayan, mahalaga rin ito para sa fellowship, pagkakaibigan, at pagpapalakas ng samahan ng mga kabataan. Ngunit dapat nating tanungin ang ating sarili: Mas excited ba tayo sa mga pansamantalang kasiyahan kaysa sa mga bagay na may kinalaman sa ating espirituwal na buhay?

Ang AY Program ay hindi lamang simpleng pagtitipon. Ito ay pagkakataon upang lumago sa pananampalataya, mas makilala si Cristo, mapalalim ang pag-aaral ng Biblia, at mahikayat ang isa't isa sa paglilingkod sa Diyos.

Isinulat ni Ellen G. White:

"With such an army of workers as our youth, rightly trained, might furnish, how soon the message of a crucified, risen, and soon-coming Saviour might be carried to the whole world!"
— Education, p. 271

(Ibig sabihin: Kung ang mga kabataan ay maayos na masasanay at magagamit sa gawain ng Diyos, mabilis na maipapahayag sa buong mundo ang mensahe ni Cristo.)

Nawa'y maging masigasig tayo hindi lamang sa mga gawain na nagbibigay ng saya sa katawan, kundi lalo na sa mga gawain na nagpapalago ng ating kaluluwa.

📖 "Datapuwa't hanapin muna ninyo ang kaharian ng Dios, at ang kaniyang katuwiran; at ang lahat ng mga bagay na ito ay pawang idaragdag sa inyo."
— Mateo 6:33

Kapag CAMPING, marami ang dumadalo.
Kapag AY PROGRAM, sana ay marami rin ang maglaan ng panahon para sa Diyos.

Obedience
Highways to Happiness

The Lord commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the Lord our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as it is at this day. And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments. Deuteronomy 6:24, 25

Happiness must be sought in the right way and from the right source. Some think they may surely find happiness in a course of indulgence in sinful pleasures or in deceptive worldly attractions. And some sacrifice physical and moral obligations, thinking to find happiness, and they lose both soul and body. Others will seek their happiness in the indulgence of an unnatural appetite, and consider the indulgence of taste more desirable than health and life. Many suffer themselves to be enchained by sensual passions, and will sacrifice physical strength, intellect, and moral powers to the gratification of lust. They will bring themselves to untimely graves, and in the judgment will be charged with self-murder.

Is this the happiness desirable which is to be found in the path of disobedience and transgression of physical and moral law? Christ’s life points out the true source of happiness and how it is to be attained.... If they would be happy indeed, they should cheerfully seek to be found at the post of duty, doing the work which devolves upon them with fidelity, conforming their hearts and lives to the perfect pattern.

Upon obedience depends life and happiness, health and joy, of men, women, and children. Obedience is for their well-being in this life and in the life to come.

Where can we find a surer guide than the only true God? ... Where is a safer path than that in which the Eternal leads the way? When we follow Him we are in no cheap, tangled bush path.

The path of obedience to God is the path of virtue, of health, and happiness. [163]

ISANG MAPAGPALANG UMAGA SA LAHAT 🙏 🙏

Isa sa mga pinakamalaking pagpapala na patuloy na ibinibigay ng Panginoon sa iyo ay ang paggising mo tuwing umaga. Bawat bagong araw ay panibagong pagkakataon upang maranasan ang Kanyang pag-ibig, biyaya, at paggabay.

"This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it."
— Psalm 118:24 (KJV)

Happy Sabbath 🙏🙏🙏

Leviticus 23:3 (GNT)
You have six days in which to do your work, but remember that the seventh day, the Sabbath, is a day of rest. On that day do not work, but gather for worship. The Sabbath belongs to the Lord, no matter where you live.

“Kapag ang Diyos ang iyong inuuna sa bawat desisyon, hindi ka Niya pababayaan sa iyong paglalakbay. Maaaring hindi mo makita agad ang daan, ngunit ang Panginoon ang magtutuwid ng iyong landas. Magtiwala, sumunod, at hayaan Siyang manguna sa iyong buhay.”

📖 “Seek God's will in all that you do, and He will direct your path.” — Proverbs 3:6 🙏
