[G] [PREACHING LESSON 20:] THE GREAT GOODNESS OF GOD THAT IS ALWAYS OVERLOOKED BY THE CHRISTIANS

(Ang dakilang kabutihan ng Diyos na palaging hindi pinapansin ng mga Kristiyano)

PSALMS 145:7 “They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing of thy righteousness.”

ROMANS 1:21 “Because that, when they knew God, they glorified [him] not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.”

Panimula:

a.     Maraming beses na ang mga Cristiano ay nakakalimot na pasalamatan ang Diyos sa lahat ng kabutihan Niya sa kanilang buhay Cristiano. Imbis na pasalamatan nila ang Diyos ay winalang-halaga ang kabutihan ng Diyos sa kanilang buhay.

ROMANS 1:21 “Because that, when they knew God, they glorified [him] not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.”

b.    Sa hindi nila pagpapahalaga sa dakilang kabutihan ng Diyos ay kanilang tinutukso ang Diyos sa kanilang pagpapakita ng kawalan ng tiwala sa Kanya.

PSALMS 78:17-18 “And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust.
Pss 78:19 Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?”

1. THEY OVERLOOKED GOD’S DAILY PROVISION IN THEIR LIFE

(Hindi nila pinansin ang pang-araw-araw na pagkakaloob ng Diyos sa kanilang buhay)

PSALMS 78:18-19“And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust.
Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?”

a.     Ang Israel bilang bayan ng Diyos ay tipo ng Kristiyano. Sila ay nagbulag-bulagan sa lahat ng pagkakaloob ng Diyos sa kanilang pang-araw-araw na pagkain imbis na sila ay magpasalamat tinukso pa nila ang Diyos at pinag-alinlanganan ang kakayanan at kabutihan na bigyan sila ng pagkain sa kanilang mesa.

b.    Ito rin ay totoong nangyayari kahit sa panahon natin ngayon na imbis na gantihan ang Diyos ng pasasalamat at pagtatapat ay ginagalit pa nila ang Diyos sa kanilang hindi pagtatapat at walang pagpapasalamat.

ROMANS 1:21 “Because that, when they knew God, they glorified [him] not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.”

2. THEY OVERLOOKED GOD’S DAILY PROTECTION IN THEIR LIFE

(Hindi nila pinansin ang pang-araw-araw na proteksyon ng Diyos sa kanilang buhay)

PSALMS 13:1-3 “How long wilt thou forget me, O Lord? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?
Pss 13:2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, [having] sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?
Pss 13:3 Consider [and] hear me, O Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the [sleep of] death;”

a.     Kahit si Haring David ay nag-alinlangan din sa dakilang pag-iingat ng Diyos sa kaniyang buhay.

b.    Ang Diyos ay hindi umiidlip ni natutulog man. Tayo lamang ay Kaniyang mabantayan at maingatan laban sa ating kaaway na diyablo.

PSALMS 121:1-5 “I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. a
Pss 121:2 My help [cometh] from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.
Pss 121:3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
Pss 121:4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
Pss 121:5 The Lord [is] thy keeper: the Lord [is] thy shade upon thy right hand.”

c.      Sa isang panalangin mo lamang sa Diyos, handa Siyang ingatan ka laban sa ating kaaway na si Satanas.

PSALMS 59:9 “[Because of] his strength will I wait upon thee: for God [is] my defence.”

3. THEY OVERLOOKED GOD’S DAILY PROMISE IN THEIR LIFE

(Hindi nila pinansin ang pang-araw-araw na pangako ng Diyos sa kanilang buhay)

2PETER 1:4 “Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.”

a.     Ang pangako ng Diyos ay napakadakila sa buhay natin at Siya ay hindi sinungaling sa Kanyang mga pangako.

TITUS 1:2 “In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;”

b.    Pangako ng Diyos na sasagot Siya sa oras na tayo ay mananalangin at magpapakita Siya sa atin ng mga dakila at kamangha-manghang mga bagay na hindi pa natin nalalaman.

JEREMAIH 33:3 “Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not”

c.      Pangako ng Diyos na magtatagumpay tayo dahil kay Cristo.

1CORINTIANS 15:57 “But thanks [be] to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

4. THEY OVERLOKED GOD’S DAILY PRESENCE IN THEIR LIFE

 (Hindi nila pinansin ang ang pang-araw-araw na presensya ng Diyos sa kanilang buhay)

1CORINTHIANS 3:16 “Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and [that] the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?”

a.     Ang presensya ng Diyos ay nararanasan sa araw ng pagtitipon o pagsamba natin sa kanya.

MATTHEW 18:20 “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.”

b.    Ang presensya ng Banal na Spiritu ay nagbibigay sa atin ng puspos na kapangyarihan at kaalaman sa pagganap ng gawain ng Panginoon.

ACTS 1:8 “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.”

JOHN 16:13 “  Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, [that] shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.”

Pangwakas:

Malungkot na katotohanan na laging ginagawa ng Cristiano ang pagbalewala sa dakilang kabutihan ng Diyos sa ating buhay Cristiano.

ROMANS 1:19-21 “Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed [it] unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, [even] his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified [him] not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.”

Pagpalain kayong lahat ng Diyos.
