ENCOURAGEMENT
TO CHRISTIANS TO BE FAITHFUL TO THE LORD
(Paghihikayat sa mga Kristiyano na maging matapat sa
Panginoon)
PSALMS 31:23-24 “O love the
Lord, all ye his saints: [for] the Lord preserveth the faithful, and
plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.
Pss 31:24 Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that
hope in the Lord.”
Panimula:
a. Laging
nangangailangan ang mga Kristiyano ng hamon sa kanilang buhay Kristiyano upang
maging matapat sa Panginoon. Dapat palaging hinihikayat ng mga magulang ang
kanilang mga anak na maging matapat sa Panginoon. Ang pinakamahirap at
pinakamatinding trabaho ng lingkod ng Diyos sa lokal na simbahan ay ang hamunin
sila na maging matapat sa Panginoon.
b. Malinaw
ang salita ng Diyos na tanging ang Panginoon lamang ang mag-iingat sa mga
matatapat. Ang ingatan ang matatapat ay nangangahulugang pinapayagan ka ng
Diyos na manirahan sa mundong ito na may layunin na maging matapat sa Kanya at
maging isang pagpapala sa lokal na simbahan.
Apat (4) na malaking
katotohanan tungkol sa paghihikayat sa mga Kristiyano na maging matapat sa
Panginoon:
1. LOVE THE LORD
(Mahalin mo ang Panginoon)
PSALMS 31:23 “O love
the Lord, all ye his saints: [for] the Lord preserveth the faithful, and
plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.”
a. Ang
mga Kristiyano na laging nabubuhay na maging matapat sa Panginoon ay ang pinaka
pinagpapala ng Diyos ng masaganang pagpapala.
DEUTERONOMY 6:4-5 “Hear, O
Israel: The Lord our God [is] one Lord:
Deut 6:5 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with
all thy soul, and with all thy might.”
b. Ipinapaalala
ng Panginoong Jesucristo sa Kanyang mga alagad na ang pagsunod sa salita ng
Diyos ang tunay na pagpapakita ng ating pag-ibig sa Diyos.
JOHN 14:15 “If ye
love me, keep my commandments.”
c. Ang
pag-ibig ni Cristo ang laging pumipilit sa mga Kristiyano na magpatuloy na
maabot ang mga makasalanan sa anumang paraan.
2CORINTHIANS 5:14 “For the love
of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all,
then were all dead:”
2. LIVE FOR THE LORD
(Mabuhay para sa Panginoon)
PSALMS 31:23 “O love
the Lord, all ye his saints: [for] the Lord preserveth the faithful, and
plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.”
a. Ang
mga Kristiyano na laging namumuhay na maging matapat sa Panginoon ang
pinakapinagpapala ng Diyos ng masaganang pagpapala.
PROVERBS 28:20 “A faithful man
shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be
innocent.”
b. Inaatasan
ng Diyos ang mga Kristiyano na maging matapat sa Kanya upang matiyak ang
Kanyang pagsang-ayon sa Kanyang napiling lingkod sa ubasan ng Diyos.
JOHN 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.”
c. Inutusan
ni Pablo si Timoteo na ipagawa ang ministeryo ng pag-aakay ng kaluluwa sa mga
matatapat na Kristiyano.
2TIMOTHY 2:2 “And the things
that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to
faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.”
3. LET THE LORD
(Hayaan ang Panginoon)
PSALMS 31:23 “O love the
Lord, all ye his saints: [for] the Lord preserveth the faithful, and
plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.”
a. Hayaan
ang Diyos na gumalaw at gumawa sa ating buhay. Huwag hayaang bigyan ng
kapangyarihan ang ating laman sa ating buhay.
ROMANS 8:4-8 “That the
righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the
flesh, but after the Spirit.
Rom 8:5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but
they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
Rom 8:6 For to be carnally minded [is] death; but to be spiritually minded [is]
life and peace.
Rom 8:7 Because the carnal mind [is] enmity against God: for it is not subject
to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
Rom 8:8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.”
b. Ang
payagan ang Diyos sa ating buhay ay sa pamamagitan ng paglalakad sa Espiritu ng
Diyos.
GALATIANS 5:16, 25 “[This] I say
then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
Gal 5:25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in
the Spirit.”
c. Hayaan
ang Diyos sa ating buhay dahil si Kristo na ang nabubuhay sa atin.
GALATIANS 2:20 “I am crucified
with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the
life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who
loved me, and gave himself for me.”
4. LEAN ON THE LORD
(Umasa sa Panginoon)
PSALMS 31:24 “Be of good
courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord.”
a. Wala
nang ibang paraan upang ang mga Kristiyano ay makapagpatuloy sa Panginoon na
maging matapat kundi sumalig lamang sa Panginoon.
PROVERBS 3:5-6 “Trust in
the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
Prov 3:6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”
b. Ang
palagiang pananalig sa Diyos ay pagpili ng lakas ni Kristo bilang ating lakas
upang makapagpatuloy sa buhay Kristiano.
PHILIPPIANS 4:13 “I can do
all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”
c. Ang
tunay na pananalig sa Diyos ay naipapahayag ng mga Kristiyanong laging
nagpapatuloy sa salita ng Diyos.
2TIMOTHY 3:14-17 “But
continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of,
knowing of whom thou hast learned [them];
2Tim 3:15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are
able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
2Tim 3:16 All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable
for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
2Tim 3:17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good
works.
5. LEARN FROM THE LORD
(Ephesians 4:20-32) [20]But ye have
not so learned Christ;
[21]If so be that ye have heard him, and have been
taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:
[22]That ye put off concerning the former conversation
the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
[23]And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
[24]And that ye put on the new man, which after God is
created in righteousness and true holiness.
[25]Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man
truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
[26]Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down
upon your wrath:
[27]Neither give place to the devil.
[28]Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let
him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to
give to him that needeth.
[29]Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your
mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister
grace unto the hearers.
[30]And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye
are sealed unto the day of redemption.
[31]Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and
clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
[32]And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted,
forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
Pangwakas:
Ang mga Kristiyano ay laging
nangangailangan ng hamon na maging matapat sa Panginoon upang matiyak ang
perpektong proteksyon at pagpapala ng Diyos sa buhay Kristiyano.
Pagpalain kayong lahat ng
Diyos.
