THE IDEAL
TEAMWORK OF ABIDING IN CHRIST IN THE MINISTRY OF THE LORD AND THE BIG RESULTS
IS THE FRUITFULNESS IN THE WORK OF THE LORD.
JOHN 15:1-5 Jn 15:1 I
am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
Jn 15:2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit
he taketh away: and every [branch] that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it
may bring forth more fruit.
Jn 15:3 Now ye are clean through the word which I
have spoken unto you.
Jn 15:4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch
cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye,
except ye abide in me.
Jn 15:5 I am the vine, ye [are] the branches: He
that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for
without me ye can do nothing.
MARK 2:1-5 “And again
he entered into Capernaum after [some] days; and it was noised that he was in
the house.
Mk 2:2 And straightway many were gathered
together, insomuch that there was no room to receive [them], no, not so much as
about the door: and he preached the word unto them.
Mk 2:3 And they come unto him, bringing one sick
of the palsy, which was borne of four.
Mk 2:4 And when they could not come nigh unto him
for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken
[it] up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay.
Mk 2:5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto
the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.”
Panimula:
a. Ang
Panginoong Hesus at ang Kanyang disipulo ay magandang huwaran upang gumanap ng
gawain ng Panginoon nang may magandang ugali ng pagtutulungan sa ministeryo ng
Diyos.
b. Ang
magandang huwaran na ito ay totoong nakakahamon at magandang pamarisan ng bawat
iglesya lokal ng Panginoon upang makatiyak ng totoong paglago at marami pang
maligtas na mga kaluluwa.
Limang
(6) magandang pag-uugali sa pagtutulungan sa gawain ng Panginoon:
1. AVAILABILITY IN THE WORK OF THE LORD IS THE PROOF OF
ABIDING IN CHRIST AND THE RESULTS IS FRUITFULNESS IN THE WORK OF THE LORD.
(Ang
kanilang pagbibigay ng panahon para sa pagganap ng gawain ng Panginoon)
MARK 2:3 “And they
come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four.”
a. Ang
apat na disipulo ni Kristo ay nagbigay ng panahon upang puntahan ang isang
taong lumpo upang dalhin kay Kristo Hesus.
b. Ganito
rin ang hamon ni Pablo sa mga taga-Efeso na samantalahin ang panahon sapagkat
ang araw ay masama.
EPHESIANS 5:16 “Redeeming
the time, because the days are evil.”
2. UNITY IN THE WORK OF THE LORD IS THE PROOF OF ABIDING
IN CHRIST AND THE RESULTS IS FRUITFULNESS IN THE WORK OF THE LORD.
(Ang
kanilang pagkakaisa sa gawain ng Panginoon)
PSALMS 133:1-3 “Behold,
how good and how pleasant [it is] for brethren to dwell together in unity!
Pss 133:2 [It is] like the precious ointment upon
the head, that ran down upon the beard, [even] Aaron’s beard: that went down to
the skirts of his garments;
Pss 133:3 As the dew of Hermon, [and as the dew]
that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the Lord commanded the
blessing, [even] life for evermore.”
a. Ang
Diyos ay natutuwa na makita ang kapatiran na nagkakaisa sa gawain Niya.
PSALMS 133:1 “Behold,
how good and how pleasant [it is] for brethren to dwell together in unity!”
b. Ang
pagkakaisa sa gawain ng Panginoon ay susi ng tagumpay ng gawain ng Diyos at
masaganang pagpapala na ibibigay ng Panginoon.
3.
ABILITY IN THE WORK OF THE LORD IS THE PROOF OF ABIDING IN CHRIST ASSURES THE
RESULTS OF FRUITFULNESS IN THE WORK OF THE LORD.
(Ang
kanilang kakayahan at talento ay ginagamit nila sa gawain ng Panginoon)
MARK 2:4 “And when
they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where
he was: and when they had broken [it] up, they let down the bed wherein the
sick of the palsy lay.
a.
Pinagtulungan ng apat na disipulo na iakyat sa bubong ang lumpo upang makapasok
at makalapit siya kay Kristo at ang lumpo ay pinagkalooban ng kapatawaran at
kaligtasan.
b. Ang
Diyos ay nagbigay ng mga talento at kakayahan upang makapaglingkod tayo sa
Kanyang gawain.
4.
FLEXIBILITY IN THE WORK OF THE LORD IS A PROOF OF ABIDING IN CHRIST ASSURES THE
RESULTS OF FRUITFULNESS IN THE WORK OF THE LORD
(Ang
kanilang pagiging marunong makibagay sa lahat ng mga tao)
1 CORINTHIANS 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.”
a. Si
Pablo ay nagpaalipin sa lahat ng tao. Ito’y paraan ng kanyang pakikibagay sa
lahat ng mga tao upang akayin sila kay Kristo.
1 CORINTHIANS 9:19 “For though
I be free from all [men], yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might
gain the more.”
b. Si
Pablo ang nakitungo sa mga Judio upang hikayatin ang mga Judio kay Kristo. Sa
mga mahihina ay nakibagay din siya upang mahikayat sila kay Kristo.
MATTHEW 18:20 “For where
two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of
them.”
c. Si
Kristo Hesus man ay nakibagay sa maraming ibat-ibang klase ng tao tulad ni
Nicodemo na relihiyoso, tulad ng imoral at masamang babaing Samaritana (John
4:15-19), tulad ng kriminal sa krus (Luke 23:42-43) at tulad ni Zaqueus na
madayang public officer.
5. SINCERITY IN THE WORK OF THE LORD IS THE PROOF OF
ABIDING IN CHRIST AND ASSURES FRUITFULNESS IN THE WORK OF THE LORD.
PHILIPPIANS 1:14-18 “And many
of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold
to speak the word without fear.
Php 1:15 Some indeed preach Christ even of envy
and strife; and some also of good will:
Php 1:16 The one preach Christ of contention, not
sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds:
Php 1:17 But the other of love, knowing that I am
set for the defence of the gospel.
Php 1:18 What then? notwithstanding, every way,
whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice,
yea, and will rejoice.”
a. Si
Pablo ay nagpapatotoo na habang siya’y nakabilanggo, ang mga kapatid ay
nagkaroon ng tapang na ipahayag ang
Salita ng Diyos na walang takot.
PHILIPPIANS 1:14 “And many
of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold
to speak the word without fear.”
b. Ngunit ang ibang mga Kristiyano ay hindi
naman naging sinsero. Manapa sila’y nakikipagtalo, nagkakampi-kampi at hindi
sinsero sa paglilingkod sa Panginoon sabi ni Pablo.
6. FAITHFULNESS IN THE WORK OF THE LORD IS A PROOF OF
ABIDING IN CHRIST AND ASSURES FRUITFULNESS IN THE WORK OF THE LORD.
( Proverbs 28:20 ) A faithful
man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not
be innocent.
*
Jerusalem Church is a good model of faithful Church and bless by the Lord
faithfulness and fruitfulness in the work of the Lord.
( Acts 2:46-47 ) [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,
[47]Praising God, and having favour with all the
people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
*
Jerusalem Church are with great experience of the dynamic growth of their
Church.
( Acts 6: 4-7 ) [4]But we
will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.
[5]And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and
they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and
Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of
Antioch:
[6]Whom they set before the apostles: and when
they had prayed, they laid their hands on them.
[7]And the word of God increased; and the number
of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the
priests were obedient to the faith.
7.
WALKING BY FAITH AND NOT BY SIGHT IS ABIDING IN CHRIST AND FRUITFULNESS IS THE
RESULTS IN THE WORK OF THE LORD.
( 2 Corinthians 5:7 ) (For we
walk by faith, not by sight:)
* Hebrews 11:6-8 ) [1]Now
faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
[2]For by it the elders obtained a good report.
[3]Through faith we understand that the worlds
were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of
things which do appear.
[4]By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent
sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God
testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.
[5]By faith Enoch was translated that he should
not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before
his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
[6]But without faith it is impossible to please
him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a
rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
[7]By faith Noah, being warned of God of things
not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house;
by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which
is by faith.
[8]By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out
into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he
went out, not knowing whither he went.
8.
WAITING FOR THE SOON COMING OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST IS A PROOF OF ABIDING IN
CHRIST AND THE RESULTS IS FAITHFULNESS AT SOON COMING OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.
( I Thessalonians 4:13-18 ) [13]But I
would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep,
that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
[14]For if we believe that Jesus died and rose
again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
[15]For this we say unto you by the word of the
Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not
prevent them which are asleep.
[16]For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven
with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and
the dead in Christ shall rise first:
[17]Then we which are alive and remain shall be
caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so
shall we ever be with the Lord.
[18]Wherefore comfort one another with these
words.
* The
Christians will remain faithful waiting for the coming of the Lord Jesus
Christ.
( Mathew 24:34-37 ) [33]So
likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at
the doors.
[34]Verily I say unto you, This generation shall
not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
[35]Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words
shall not pass away.
[36]But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no,
not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
[37]But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the
coming of the Son of man be.
Pangwakas:
Magandang
pag-uugali ng mga Kristiyano at pagkakaisa sa gawain ay susi sa tagumpay sa
mabilis na paglago ng gawain ng Diyos.
ACTS 2:41-47 “Then they
that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added
[unto them] about three thousand souls.
Acts 2:42 And they continued stedfastly in the
apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
Acts 2:43 And fear came upon every soul: and many
wonders and signs were done by the apostles.
Acts 2:44 And all that believed were together, and
had all things common;
Acts 2:45 And sold their possessions and goods,
and parted them to all [men], as every man had need.
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,
Acts 2:47 Praising God, and having favour with all
the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.”
* God
bless you all always *
