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.
