Proverbs 13:11

Dishonest money dwindles away, but he who gathers money little by little makes it grow.

Hindi ibig sabihin ng “little by little” dito ay yung gino-glorify ang napakabagal nating paggawa ng kabuhayan o paghanapbuhay kundi “little by little” in the sense that it is not quick money. It is not money that is quickly earned through very devious means. Ibig sabihin, talagang galing sa tiyaga, honest at pinaghirapan.

Pero yun daw dishonest money ay nauubos agad o nawawala. It doesn’t mean na physically nawawala ito although puede ring mangyari yun. But it can mean that it loses its value dahil habang dumadami, mas kumokonti yung capacity natin to enjoy it. Or hindi na nito nakukuhang tayo’y paligayahin, pasayahin at bigyan yung may pangangailangan. Nawawalan ng katuturan because it comes from dishonest means.

The Lord teaches us that while it is good to be enterprising and productive, it must be done in an honest way. Kung minsan sa mga sobrang spiritual people, parang bad word yung money, parang materialistic ang dating. Pero makakarating ba tayo sa church kung wala tayo nyan? Makaka-support ba tayo ng gawain ng Panginoon kung wala tayo nyan? Meron ba tayong mai-ta-tithe and offering kung wala rin tayo nito? Hindi masama ang pera because it is a blessing from God. Basta honest money. Honest suweldo. Honest profit.

2 Thessalonians 3:3

But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen and protect you from the evil one.

Totoong makapangyarihan ang mga masasamang espiritu, subalit wala yan sa kapangyarihan ng Panginoon. Sila ay nagba-bluff lang. At nagiging makapangyarihan lang kung pinapayagan natin at kung tayo ay napadadaya. Sinuman ang sumisilong sa kalinga at proteksiyon ng ating Amang Dios ay napagtatagumpayan at nalalampasan ang anumang ginagawa ng mga evil spirits.

When the Lord Jesus Christ rose from the grave, he crushed the work of death under his feet. At lahat ng nagkakaroon ng buhay na walang hanggan sa pangalan ng Panginoon ay nakakasama sa ganitong tagumpay.

Kung minsan, iba yung tapang natin pag tanghaling tapat; iba pag umaga at naiiba na pag alas onse ng gabi o alas dos ng umaga. Nagkakaroon ng mga kung anu-anong space ang mga pangamba. But the Bible says, the one who is in you–the Holy Spirit of God, the Lord Jesus Christ who is in us–is greater than the one who is in the world, the one who is called Satan (1 John 4:4).

So what does God say about our contest with the devil? Don’t fight, just resist (James 4:7). May proteksiyon tayo in the name of Jesus. There is no power that cannot be destroyed by the power of the name of Jesus although it is not to be magically used as a formula or an utterance. At kung tayo ay nabubuhay na sang-ayon at nababagay sa kahulugan ng pangalan ng Panginoon at ng lahat ng kinakatawan noon—kabanalan, kabutihan, katapatan, pananampalataya—may kapangyarihan tayo.

Ruth 1:16-17

But Ruth replied, “Don’t urge me to leave you or to turn back from you. Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God. Where you die I will die, and there I will be buried. May the LORD deal with me be it ever so severely, if anything but death separates you and me.”                                                                       

Kausap ba ni Ruth yung asawa nya? Hindi, ang biyenan nya! Kapisan nyo ba ang inyong biyenan ngayon? O, as usual ay nakahiwalay sa inyo? Ano ang sinabi ni Ruth, “Walang maghihiwalay sa atin kundi kamatayan.” Akala mo romantic love? Pagmamahal ng manugang sa biyenan…

Luke 2:41-42

Every year his parents went to Jerusalem for the Feast of the Passover. When he was twelve years old, they went up to the Feast, according to the custom.

Huwag magpadala sa konsepto ng “teenager” na inimbento ng mga Amerikano. Walang teenager-teenager. “E kasi thirteen years old, kaya matakaw. Fourteen pa lang kasi, kaya tamad.” Si Hesus nga nung mag-12 years old, dinala na sa temple. Whenever people went to Jerusalem, hiwalay ang mga babae at mga lalaki. Nagkikita lang sila sa gabi para matulog. Hiwalay din habang naglalakad. Ilang araw na lakaran yan e. Nang pauwi na makalipas ng isang maghapon ni hindi namalayan ni Mary na wala si Hesus. Dahil itinuring na nyang mamâ, hindi na nya kinaray-karay, hindi na nya hinawak-hawakan. Kasi dapat kasama na ng mga lalaki.

In Asian and even in our tribal cultures, when a child reaches 12 years of age, he or she is treated as a mature person. Sa mga baryo, sila na ang nag-aalaga ng mga kapatid, nagluluto na, nanunulsi, nagtatrabaho sa bukid.

Yang teenager culture na yan oftentimes means tamad, pabaya, nagga-graffiti sa mga dingding, winawasak ang mga buo, nilalaslas ang pulso at kung anu-ano pang mga eksperimento sa buhay dahil ang excuse ay ang pagiging teenager. “Naku, lalampas din yang phase na yan.” Anong lalampas? Maraming hindi lumalampas kasi kung hindi nakukulong, sila’y nao-ospital o dinadala sa morge. Don’t hide behind this lie because it deceives us into accepting as normal the foolish things that young people should not be doing. Once you are past 12, you become a man or a woman. Kaya dapat responsible.

FOR YOUR FAMILY

1 Thessalonians 1:2

We always thank God for all of you, mentioning you in our prayers.

How many hours do we devote to the spiritual well-being of our family? Mahal natin ang ating mga anak, magulang, at miembro ng pamilya na pinaglilingkuran, but have we forgotten that prayer is the best service and the best ministry?

Napakaliit, tuldok lang ang spiritual aspect kung ikukumpara sa mga ibang ginagawa natin. Kaya, puro tayo failure madalas. Hindi lumilipas ang maghapon na hindi nagsisikmatan ang mag-asawa. Hindi lumilipas ang isang linggo na hindi nagkakalmutan o naghahampasan ng piyano at aparador. E papano, kulang.

Sasabihin ni husband, “Nagtatrabaho na nga ako para sayo.” Sabi naman ni wife, “E bakit? Nagtatrabaho din ako para sayo.” Naglilingkod sila pero kulang, kasi materyal lang ang paglilingkod. Mga ina, ilang oras ang nauubos sa inyo maghapon para ihanda ang kakainin ng inyong pamilya, mula sa pamamalengke hanggang sa pagtatadtad, pagluluto, paghahain, at pagliligpit? Mag-a-average kayo siguro ng apat na oras. Naipapanalangin ba nyo ang inyong pamilya kahit 50% nito? Ang haba naman ng dalawang oras, sasabihin nyo. E bakit hindi ka naman nakakapagtalop ng patani, nakakapag-ayos ng gulay-gulay ng trenta minutos. When you prepare for the physical nourishment of your family, can you not spare time for their spiritual nourishment as well?
