[I] [PREACHING LESSON 1:] GREAT THINGS WE HAVE LEARNED FROM BEING CONTENT IN CHRIST IN TIMES OF DEEP NEED


(Mga dakilang bagay na natutunan natin mula sa pagiging kontento kay Cristo sa mga oras ng malaking pangangailangan)
PHILIPPIANS 4:11-13 “Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, [therewith] to be content.
Php 4:12 I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.
Php 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”

Panimula:
a.     Content, contentment – satisfied, pleased, happy, contented
b.    Si Pablo ay magandang huwaran sa pagiging kontento kay Kristo. Siya ay maraming natutunan sa kanyang buhay Kristiyano sa halip na siya ay magreklamo sa Diyos sa gitna ng mahigpit niyang pangangailangan.
c.      Ang kanyang mga problema at  mahigpit na pangangailangan ay nagsilbing paaralan niya upang matuto ng maraming bagay.
PHILIPPIANS 4:11 “Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, [therewith] to be content.”

Mga dakilang bagay na ating matututunan sa pagiging kontento kay Kristo:

1. WE LEARN TO REJOICE IN THE LORD IN TIMES OF DEEP NEED
(Natututo tayong magalak sa Panginoon sa mga oras ng malaking pangangailangan)
PHILIPPIANS 4:4 “Rejoice in the Lord alway: [and] again I say, Rejoice.”

a.     Posibleng magkaroon ng kagalakan sa panahon nang mahigpit na pangangailangan kahit na sa mahigpit na pagsubok sa buhay Kristiyano.
1PETER 4:13 “But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.”

b.    Ang Banal na Espiritu ang magpapahingalay sa ating kahirapan.
1PETER 4:14 “If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy [are ye]; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.”

2. WE LEARN TO TRUST GOD IN TIMES OF DEEP NEED IN LIFE
(Natututo tayong magtiwala sa Panginoon sa mga oras ng malaking pangangailangan)
PHILIPPIANS 4:6 “Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.”

a.     Magandang huwaran si Haring David sa pagtitiwala sa Diyos sa lahat ng panahon.
PSALMS 62:8 “Trust in him at all times; [ye] people, pour out your heart before him: God [is] a refuge for us. Selah.”

b.    Hindi nabalisa si Pablo sa panahon ng mahigpit na pangangailangan.
PHILIPPIANS 4:6 “Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.”

3. WE LEARN TO HAVE PEACE OF GOD IN TIMES OF DEEP NEED
(Natututo tayong magkaroon ng kapayapaan ng Diyos sa mga oras ng malaking pangangailangan)
PHILIPPIANS 4:7 “And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”

a.     Ang kapayapaan ay isa sa mahalagang bunga ng Banal na Espiritu kaya posible tayong magkaroon nito sa oras ng ating mabigat na problema sa buhay.
GALATIANS 5:22 “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,”

b.    May pangako ang Diyos sa Kristiyano na biyaya at kapayapaan na sumasagana sa panahon ng ating mabigat na problema sa buhay.
2PETER 1:2 “Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,”

4. WE LEARN TO BE STRONG SPIRITUALLY IN TIMES OF DEEP NEED
(Natututo tayong maging malakas espiritwal sa mga oras ng malaking pangangailangan)
PHILIPPIANS 4:8 “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things [are] honest, whatsoever things [are] just, whatsoever things [are] pure, whatsoever things [are] lovely, whatsoever things [are] of good report; if [there be] any virtue, and if [there be] any praise, think on these things.”

a.     Mahalaga na lagi tayong malakas espiritwal upang sa ating pagharap sa mabibigat na pangangailangan ng ating buhay ay maging matatag tayo.
b.    Natutunan ni Pablo na hamunin ang kapwa Kristiyano na maging matatag sapagkat ang kapayapaan ng Diyos ay sasaatin.
PHILIPPIANS 4:9 “Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.”

Pangwakas:
Natutunan ni Pablo na harapin nang positibo ang mahigpit na pagsubok sa buhay, ang problema, at ang pangangailangan sa buhay Kristiyano.
PHILIPPIANS 4:11 “Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, [therewith] to be content.”

Pagpalain kayong lahat ng Diyos.
