[H] [PREACHING LESSON 14:] WHAT SHALL I RENDER UNTO THE LORD FOR ALL HIS BENEFITS TOWARD ME?

(Ano ang ibibigay ko sa Panginoon para sa lahat ng Kanyang kabutihan sa akin?)

PSALMS 116:12 “What shall I render unto the Lord [for] all his benefits toward me?”

Panimula:

a.     Render – to lay down; to bring back; to deliver; to give

b.    Napakagandang halimbawa ang pagpapahayag ni Haring David ng kanyang malaking pagnanais na magbalik sa Diyos ng maraming dakilang kabutihan sa kanyang buhay.

c.      Kung lahat ng Kristiyano sana ay kagaya ni Haring David, napakaganda ng patotoo ng iglesya lokal sa kanilang komunidad na kinalalagyan sapagkat ang Kristiyano ay magpapakita at magbabalik sa Diyos ng maraming mabubuting bagay dahil sa mga dakilang pagpapala na tinanggap nila sa Diyos.

PSALMS 116:12 “What shall I render unto the Lord [for] all his benefits toward me?”

Maraming mabubuting bagay ang maaari nating ibalik sa lahat ng kabutihan ng Diyos sa ating buhay:

1. WE CAN RENDER OUR FAITHFULNESS TO WORSHIPING GOD

(Maaari nating ibigay ang ating katapatan sa pagsamba sa Diyos)

PSALMS 122:1 “I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord.”

a.     Magandang huwaran si Haring David sa kanyang pagiging masigla at masaya sa kanyang pagsamba sa Panginoon.

b.    Lalong nagpakita nang lubos-lubos na katapatan sa pagsamba ang iglesya lokal ng Jerusalem dahil sa kanilang araw-araw na pananambahan sa Diyos.

ACTS 2:46 “And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,”

c.      Lalong pinagpapala ang matatapat at nagpapakita na inuuna nila ang Diyos sa kanilang buhay.

MATTHEW 6:33 “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”

2. WE CAN RENDER OUR FAITHFULNESS IN GIVING TO GOD

(Maaari nating ibigay ang ating katapatan sa pagbibigay sa Diyos)

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].”

a.     Maraming Kristiyano ang nasusumpungan na hindi matapat sa Panginoon kagaya ng bayan ng Israel na laging nagkakasala sa hindi pagsasauli ng ikapu sa Diyos.

MALACHI 3:8 “Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.”

b.    Mas lalong natutuwa ang Diyos sa mga Kristiyano na lalong nagtatapat sa pagbibigay.

ACTS 20:35 “I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.”

c.      Lalong nagiging malapit ang puso ng Diyos sa mga Kristiyanong nagbibigay mula sa kanilang puso.

2CORINTHIANS 9:7 “Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, [so let him give]; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.”

3. WE CAN RENDER OUR FAITHFULNESS IN OUR SERVICE TO GOD

(Maaari nating ibigay ang ating katapatan sa ating paglilingkod sa Diyos)

HEBREWS 3:5 “And Moses verily [was] faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;”

a.     Hinangaan ng Diyos si Moises dahil sa kanyang katapatan sa paglilingkod.

b.    Inihalintulad ng Diyos ang katapatan sa paglilingkod ni Moises sa katapatan ng Panginoong Hesus. Ang katapatan ng Kristiyano ay maaaring maihalintulad sa ating Panginoon.

HEBREWS 3:1-2 “Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;
Heb 3:2 Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses [was faithful] in all his house.”

4. WE CAN RENDER OUR FAITHFULNESS IN PRAYER TO GOD

(Maaari nating ibigay ang ating katapatan sa panalangin sa Diyos)

DANIEL 6:9-13 “Wherefore king Darius signed the writing and the decree.
Dan 6:10 Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime.
Dan 6:11 Then these men assembled, and found Daniel praying and making supplication before his God.
Dan 6:12 Then they came near, and spake before the king concerning the king’s decree; Hast thou not signed a decree, that every man that shall ask [a petition] of any God or man within thirty days, save of thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions? The king answered and said, The thing [is] true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not.
Dan 6:13 Then answered they and said before the king, That Daniel, which [is] of the children of the captivity of Judah, regardeth not thee, O king, nor the decree that thou hast signed, but maketh his petition three times a day.”

a.     Magandang huwaran si Daniel sa pananalangin ng tatlong beses sa isang araw.

DANIEL 6:10 “Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime.”

b.    Naging matapat sa Diyos sa gawaing pananalangin kahit pa may banta sa kanyang buhay.

DANIEL 6:13 “Then answered they and said before the king, That Daniel, which [is] of the children of the captivity of Judah, regardeth not thee, O king, nor the decree that thou hast signed, but maketh his petition three times a day.”

5. WE CAN RENDER OUR FAITHFULNESS IN FULFILLING THE GREAT COMMISSION OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST

(Maaari nating ibigay ang ating katapatan sa pagtupad ng dakilang utos ng Panginoong Jesucristo)

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.     Dakilang huwaran ang ating Panginoong Jesucristo.

LUKE 19:10 “For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.”

b.    Mabuting huwaran si Pablo sa epektibong pag-aakay ng kaluluwa.

1CORINTHIANS 9:19-22 “For though I be free from all [men], yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more.
1Cor 9:20 And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law;
1Cor 9:21 To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law.
1Cor 9:22 To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all [men], that I might by all means save some.”

c.      Mabuting huwaran ang iglesya lokal ng Jerusalem sa mabungang pag-aakay.

ACTS 2:41 “Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added [unto them] about three thousand souls.”

Pangwakas:

Matutuwa ang Diyos sa mga Kristiyanong may dakilang nais na magbalik ng mabubuting bagay sa Panginoon.

PSALMS 116:17-18 “I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the Lord.
Pss 116:18 I will pay my vows unto the Lord now in the presence of all his people,”

Pagpalain kayong lahat ng Diyos.
