SOME GOOD
THINGS THAT GOD THINKETH UPON HIS PEOPLE
(ILANG MABUBUTING BAGAY NA
INIISIP NG DIYOS PARA SA MGA KRISTIYANO)
PSALMS 40:17 “But I [am]
poor and needy; [yet] the Lord thinketh upon me: thou [art] my help and my
deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.”
Panimula:
a. Maliwanag na
nagpapatunay ang Salita ng Diyos na Siya ay laging nag-iisip nang mabuting
bagay sa Kanyang mga anak.
b. Nagbanggit
ang aklat ni Jeremiah na ang ating Diyos ay nag-iisip ng kapayapaan at hindi
kasamaan.
JEREMIAH 29:11 “For I know the
thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of
evil, to give you an expected end.”
Mga magagandang bagay na
iniisip ng Diyos para sa Kanyang mga Anak:
1. GOD THINKETH THE
CHRISTIAN TO BE A GOOD SOLDIER OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST
(Iniisip ng Diyos na ang
Kristiyano ay maging mabuting sundalo ni Kristo)
2TIMOTHY 2:3 “Thou therefore
endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.”
a. Ang
isang mabuting kawal ay handang makipagtiis kay Kristo ng mga kahirapang
kanilang mararanasan bilang Kristiyano.
b. Ang
isang mabuting kawal ay handang magtapat sa Kanyang Panginoon dahil Siya mismo
ang nagtalaga at tumawag sa kanya sa pagkakawal.
2TIMOTHY 2:4 “No man that
warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of [this] life; that he may please
him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.”
c. Ang
isang mabuting kawal ay handang makipaglaban at tapusin ang laban para sa
kapurihan ng Diyos na tumawag sa kanya.
2TIMOTHY 4:7 “I have fought
a good fight, I have finished [my] course, I have kept the faith:”
2. GOD THINKETH THE
CHRISTIAN TO BE A GOOD FRIEND OF THE LORD
(Iniisip ng Diyos na ang
Kristiyano ay maging mabuting kaibigan Niya)
JOHN 15:13-16 “Greater love
hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
Jn 15:14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
Jn 15:15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what
his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard
of my Father I have made known unto you.
Jn 15:16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that
ye should go and bring forth fruit, and [that] your fruit should remain: that
whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.”
a. Ang
mabuting kaibigan ng Panginoon ay handang sumunod sa lahat ng iniuutos ng
kanyang Panginoon.
b. Ang
katunayan na si Hesu-Kristo ay isang mabuting kaibigan ay nang Kanyang ibinigay
ang Kanyang buhay para sa atin.
JOHN 15:13 “Greater
love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”
c. Ang
bawat masunuring Kristiyano ay hindi na tatawaging alipin kundi kaibigan na ni
Kristo.
JOHN 15:15 “Henceforth I
call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I
have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have
made known unto you.”

CHRISTIAN TO BE A GOOD AND TRUE WORSHIPPER OF THE LORD
(Iniisip ng Diyos na ang
Kristiyano ay maging mabuti at tunay na mananamba)

cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in
spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.”

sa siya ay naipanganak na muli.

many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, [even]
to them that believe on his name:
Jn 1:13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the
will of man, but of God.”
b. Ang
tunay na mananamba ay sumasamba sa espiritu at katotohanan ng Salita ng Diyos.
JOHN 4:24 “God [is]
a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship [him] in spirit and in truth.”
c. Ang
tunay at mabuting mananamba ay hindi lumiliban sa pananambahan tuwing unang
araw ng linggo.

first [day] of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul
preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech
until midnight.”

Kristiyano.

continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house

you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to

than to receive.”

ng Diyos na bubuksan ang bintana ng langit at ibubuhos ang pagapapala na sukat
na walang pagkalagyan sa Kanyang tahanan.
MALACHI 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].”
b. Pangako
ng Diyos na sasawayin Niya ang mga mananakmal ng mga pag-aari nang matapat na
nagbibigay sa Panginoon.
MALACHI 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.”

ng Diyos na mapalad ang bawat matapat at masayang nagbibigay sa Panginoon.
MALACHI 3:12 “And all
nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the
Lord of hosts.”

according as he purposeth in his heart, [so let him give]; not grudgingly, or

Kristiyano ay maging mabuti at matapat na tagapag-akay)

be free from all [men], yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might
gain the more.”

not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our

Niya at binigyan ng marangal na pagkatawag.

chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that
ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness
into his marvellous light:

God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.”
