[C] [PREACHING LESSON 2:] WHAT YOU ARE DOING IN YOUR CHRISTIAN LIFE RIGHT NOW WILL BRING YOU CLOSER AND AWAY FROM GOD SO CONSIDER YOUR WAY


(ANUMAN ANG GINAGAWA MO SA IYONG BUHAY KRISTIYANO NGAYON AY MAAARING ILAPIT KA O ILAYO SA DIYOS KAYA DAPAT SURIIN ANG INYONG LAKAD)
HAGGAI 1:5-7 “Now therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts; Consider your ways.
Hag 1:6 Ye have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but ye have not enough; ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink; ye clothe you, but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages [to put it] into a bag with holes.
Hag 1:7 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Consider your ways.”

Panimula:
a.     Nagbigay ng seryosong paalaala si Haggai na suriin nang mainam ng bawat Kristiyano ang uri ng pamumuhay na karapatdapat sa Diyos.
b.    Maraming Kristiyano ang nalilibang at nasisiyahan sa buhay nila na nagtatagumpay sa mundo. Ngunit hindi nila alam na ito ay nagiging dahilan na ilayo sila sa Panginoon.

Apat (4) na mahahalagang pagsusuri sa buhay ng Kristiyano:

1. CHRISTIANS ARE TOO BUSY WITH THE WORLD BUT NOT WITH GOD
(Simulan ang iyong araw ng pagbubulay-bulay sa salita ng Diyos at tapusin ito ng pagbubulaybulay din at pananalangin)
2TIMOTHY 4:10 “For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia.”

a.     Isa lamang si Demas sa mga Kristiyanong abala sa sanlibutan nguit hindi abala sa gawain ng Diyos.
b.    Nagbabala ang Diyos na huwag nating ibigin ang sanlibutan. Dahil kapag inibig natin ang sanlibutan, mawawala sa atin ang pag-ibig ng Diyos.
1JOHN 2:15-17 “Love not the world, neither the things [that are] in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
1Jn 2:16 For all that [is] in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
1Jn 2:17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.”

2. CHRISTIANS ARE BLESSED BY GOD WITH TOO MUCH MATERIAL THINGS BUT NOT SHARING IT IN GOD’S WORK
(Nagtatamasa ang mga Kristiyano ng sobra-sobrang pagpapala mula sa Diyos ngunit hindi man lang ibinabahagi sa gawain ng Diyos)
MALACHI 3:8-10 “Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.
Mal 3:9 Ye [are] cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, [even] this whole nation.
Mal 3:10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that [there shall] not [be room] enough [to receive it].”

a.     Pinagpapala ng Diyos ang Kanyang mga anak dahil ito ay pangako Niya sa kanila.
JOHN 10:10 “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have [it] more abundantly.”
PSALMS 1:3 “And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.”

b.    May paalaala ang Diyos sa mga anak Niya na hindi matapat sa pagbibigay ng ikapu at mga handog.
MALACHI 3:8-12 “Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.
Mal 3:9 Ye [are] cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, [even] this whole nation.
Mal 3:10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that [there shall] not [be room] enough [to receive it].
Mal 3:11 And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the Lord of hosts.
Mal 3:12 And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the Lord of hosts.”

3. CHRISTIANS HAVE TOO MUCH BURDEN IN EARTHLY THINGS BUT NOT IN HEAVENLY THINGS
 (Nababagbag tayo nang sobra-sobra sa makalupang bagay ngunit hindi sa makalangit na bagay)
MATTHEW 6:25-33 “Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
Mt 6:26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
Mt 6:27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
Mt 6:28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
Mt 6:29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Mt 6:30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, [shall he] not much more [clothe] you, O ye of little faith?
Mt 6:31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
Mt 6:32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
Mt 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”

a.     Sila ay laging nababagabag sa kanilang kakainin, sa kanilang dadamitin at sa kanilang iinumin sa araw-araw.
MATTHEW 6:31 “Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?”

b.    Ang sabi ng Panginoon sa kanila, “ito ay katunayan lamang ng kanilang kawalang pananampalataya sa Kanya at katulad lamang sila ng mga Gentil o ng mga hindi ligtas.”
MATTHEW 6:32 “(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.”

c.      Unahin ang Kanyang katuwiran at mga makalangit na bagay bilang hamon ni Hesus sa atin.
MATTHEW 6:32 “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”

4. CHRISTIANS ARE TOO MUCH BOLD FACING WORLDLY CHALLENGES BUT NOT SHARING THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST TO THE WORLD
(Sobrang tapang natin na harapin ang hamon ng buhay sa mundong ito pero hindi matapang ibahagi ang ebanghelyo ng Diyos sa sanlibutan)
2TIMOTHY 1:8 “Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God;”

a.     Ang babala ng Diyos sa mga Kristiyano na ikinahihiya Siya at nahihiyang ipahayag ang ebanghelyo ay ikakahiya Niya rin sa harapan ng Ama at ng mga anghel.
MARK 8:38 “Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.”

b.    Magandang huwaran si Pablo ng mga Kristiyanong handang ipahayag ang ebanghelyo nang buong tapang at hindi nahihiya sa mga tao.
ROMANS 1:15-16 “So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.
Rom 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”

Pangwakas:
Ating suriin ang ating pamumuhay bilang paalaala ng Diyos sapagkat alam Niya kung tayo ay malapit o malayo sa Kanya
HAGGAI 1:5 “Now therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts; Consider your ways.”
MATTHEW 6:33 “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”
