(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.”
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.
