[A] [PREACHING LESSON 14:] HOW DO WE KNOW IF GOD IS STILL WORKING IN THE LIFE OF THE CHRISTIAN?

(PAPAANO NATIN MALALAMAN KUNG ANG DIYOS AY GUMAGAWA PA SA ATING BUHAY-KRISTIYANO?)


EPHESIANS 2:10 “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.”
PHILIPPIANS 2:13 “For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of [his] good pleasure.”

Panimula:
a.     Ang kaligtasang naranasan ng bawat totoong naging Kristiyano ay simula pa lamang ng dakilang pagkilos ng Diyos sa ating buhay. Ngunit ang kaligtasan ang pinakadakila sa lahat na ginawa ng Diyos sa ating buhay dahil sa pagtanggap natin ng Kanyang dakilang pag-ibig sa atin.
JOHN 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
b.    Ang Diyos ay hindi pa tapos sa ating buhay bilang tayo’y mga naligtas at nais ng Diyos na kumilos at gumawa sa ating buhay upang maging katulad ni Kristo at maging epektibo at mabunga an gating buhay-Kristiyano.
c.      Ang Panginoong Hesus ang modelo o pattern ng Diyos upang hubugin Niya ang bawat buhay ng Kristiyano.

Limang (5) mahahalagang gawa ng Diyos sa buhay ng Kristiyano:

1. GOD IS STILL CHANGING THE LIFE OF THE CHRISTIAN
(Binabago ng Diyos ang bawat buhay ng Kristiyano)
2CORINTHIANS 5:17 “Therefore if any man [be] in Christ, [he is] a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”

a.     Hindi natin kayang baguhin ang sarili natin kayat babaguhin tayo ng Diyos mula sa ating masamang pamumuhay ay magiging bagong buhay tulad ni Kristo.
b.    Si Kristo ay nag-iwan sa atin ng magandang halimbawa ng matuwid na pamumuhay.
1PETER 2:21 “For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:”

c.      Ang pagbabago ng Kristiyano ay araw-araw na gagawin ng Diyos sa ating buhay.
2CORINTHIANS 4:16 “For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward [man] is renewed day by day.”

2. GOD IS STILL CLEANING THE LIFE OF THE CHRISTIAN
(Ang Diyos ay naglilinis sa bawat buhay ng Kristiyano)
JOHN 15:1-3 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
Jn 15:2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every [branch] that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
Jn 15:3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.”

a.     Sinabi ni Hesus na tayo’y nililinis Niya sa pamamagitan ng Salita ng Diyos.
JOHN15:3 “Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.”

b.    Ang Salita ng Diyos ay mabisang panlinis at pampabanal ng buhay ng bawat Kristiyano.
JOHN 17:17 “Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.”

c.      Gagamitin lamang ng Diyos ang buhay ng Kristiyano sa Kanyang gawain kung totoong malinis na.
2TIMOTHY 2:21 “If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, [and] prepared unto every good work.”

3. GOD IS STILL IN CONTROL EVEN IN GOOD TIME AND BAD TIME OF THE CHRISTIAN
 (Ang Diyos ang Siyang humahawak sa lahat ng kalagayan ng Kristiyano maging mabuti o masama)
2CORINTHIANS 1:4-10 “Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.
2Cor 1:5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.
2Cor 1:6 And whether we be afflicted, [it is] for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, [it is] for your consolation and salvation.
2Cor 1:7 And our hope of you [is] stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so [shall ye be] also of the consolation.
2Cor 1:8 For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life:
2Cor 1:9 But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead:
2Cor 1:10 Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver [us];”

a.     Ang Diyos na nagbigay ng pagsubok ay Siya rin ang aaliw at magliligtas sa Kristiyano sa gitna ng malaking problema.
2CORINTHIANS 4:10 “Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.”
b.    Ang Diyos na nagbigay ng pagsubok ay hindi magbibigay ng problema na hindi natin makakaya.
1CORINTHIANS 10:13 “There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God [is] faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear [it].”
c.      Ang Diyos din ang magpapala sa atin pagkatapos ng pagharap natin sa mahigpit na pagsubok tulad ni Job na nakaranas ng mahigpit na pagsubok.
JOB 42:12-17 “So the Lord blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses.
Job 42:13 He had also seven sons and three daughters.
Job 42:14 And he called the name of the first, Jemima; and the name of the second, Kezia; and the name of the third, Keren–happuch.
Job 42:15 And in all the land were no women found [so] fair as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren.
Job 42:16 After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons’ sons, [even] four generations.
Job 42:17 So Job died, [being] old and full of days.”

4. GOD IS STILL CALLING MORE LABORERS IN HIS VINEYARD TO HARVEST PRECIOUS SOULS OF MAN
(Tumatawag pa rin ang Diyos ng maraming manggagawa sa Kanyang ubasan upang mag-ani ng mga kaluluwa)
LUKE 10:1-3 “After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come.
Lk 10:2 Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly [is] great, but the labourers [are] few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.
Lk 10:3 Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.”

a.     Si Kristo ay nagsanay ng pitumpo na mga manggagawa upang makatulong Niya sa pag-aani ng maraming kaluluwa.
b.    Hinahamon tayo ni Kristo na itingin natin ang ating mga mata sa maraming kaluluwa na handa ng maligtas.
JOHN 4:35 “Say not ye, There are yet four months, and [then] cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.”
c.      Ang iglesya ng Jerusalem ay magandang huwaran para sa mabungang buhay ng Kristiyano.
ACTS 2:41, 47 “Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added [unto them] about three thousand souls.
Acts 2:47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.”

5. GOD IS STILL CHALLENGING THE CHURCH TO GO FOR MISSION INTO ALL THE WORLD
(Hinahamon ng Diyos ang Kristiyano na humayo sa buong mundo upang magmisyon)
MATTHEW 28:19-20 “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Mt 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, [even] unto the end of the world. Amen.”

a.     Ang pagmimisyon sa buong mundo ang susi upang makarating sa buong mundo sa bawat tao ang ebanghelyo ni Kristo Hesus.
b.    Ang utos ni Kristo na bautismuhan sa pangalan ng Ama, ng Anak, at ng Banal na Espiritu ang bawat naligtas.
c.      Ang dakilang pangako ng Diyos na sasamahan Niya tayo sa paghayo hanggang sa katapusan ng sanlibutan.

Pangwakas:
Ang Diyos ay laging handa na gumawa at kumilos sa bawat buhay ng Kristiyano upang maging epektibo, mabunga at maluwalhati ang Diyos sa buhay natin.
1PETER 5:10 “But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle [you].”
