Matthew 7:15

“Watch out for false prophets! They dress up like sheep, but inside they are wolves who have come to attack you.”

Sabi mismo sa Bible that there are wolves dressed as sheep who are mingling with the people of God, kaya mag-iingat tayo. Maraming nakiki-attend ng church, naghahanap lang ng mapa-prospect para utangan o bentahan ng kung anu-ano. Kung minsan nagtatagumpay sila, nagiging leader ng ganito’t ganoon. Kung inuutang-utangan kayo, dinadaan-daanan kayo sa iyak at kung anu-ano ng mga leaders nyo at magtitiwala kayo, suriin nyo muna. But of course, church leadership tries to be decent and not destroy people’s reputation. Pero magtatanung-tanong kayo dahil hindi tino-tolerate ng church yan. Kadalasan yung mahilig mangganyan may record talaga yan, maraming nakakaalam. Yung iba nagkakaroon ng matataas na posisyon dahil talagang sinadya nila yun. Nagpakasakit ng mga dalawa o tatlong taon, nagpapadama lang pala. At kung nakuha na ang ating pagtitiwala ay saka sumasalakay.

Ang ganda-ganda nya, laging naka-closed neck at may dalang malaking King James Version Bible, magtitiwala ka na agad. May mga youth leaders na molesters. Kunwa-kunwari magka-camp o overnight fellowship, yun pala pinagsasamantalahan ang innocence ng mga kabataan. There are people who can cry on cue. At kung naawa na kayo, natangay na ang inyong hikaw at pulseras.

Maraming huwad maging sa loob ng iglesia at nagsasamantala sa pangalan ng relihiyon. Alam lahat yan ng Dios. Kaya dapat tayong magsuri at maging madalanginin. Huwag tayong magpapadala sa nakikita lamang natin. We should pray for discernment to be able to feel in our heart what kind of heart the other person has.

DAPAT MAY SARILING SIKAP

Matthew 14:23

Then he went up on a mountain where he could be alone and pray. Later that evening, he was still there.

Maraming public activities ang Panginoon pero marami rin siyang private and personal activities, especially times of prayer. Our Lord practiced a very personal spirituality. And so must we.

Kaya kahit ang church ninyo ay maging pabaya, hindi kayo manganganib kasi mayroon kayong personal spirituality. Your church can do with and for you only one-half of your growth. The other half you have to do on your own with the Lord. Kailangan may pananagutan. Kung pinapabayaan ka ng church mo mas lalo ka pang dapat mag-alaga sa iyong sarili.

Pakainin mo man nang pakainin ang bata bago pumasok sa eskuwela, kung maghapon siyang hindi kakain at paglalaro ang aatupagin, hindi rin siya lulusog. Kailangan may sariling sikap. May mga bata na sasabihan mo,

“Bakit ala una ng madaling araw ka na umuuwi?”

“Yung nanay ko nga po, alas dos pa darating. Tatay ko nga po hindi pa umuuwi. Tatlong taon na e.”

“Hindi ka na pala naaalagaan ng magulang mo. Lugi ka naman kung pati ikaw magpabaya pa sa sarili mo.”

Corporate worship is good pero may kakambal dapat na personal worship. Hindi tayo lalago sa inaasahan at niloloob ng Dios kung aasa lang tayo sa mga pagtitipon. Kailangan mayroon tayong sariling pagsisikap at personal na relasyon sa Dios. Kung may kulang ang church, ito ang pupuno. We can function in the context of Christian fellowship and family, but let us keep and prioritize our personal walk with Jesus.

GAWING MADALI SA IBA

Hebrews 8:12

I will treat them with kindness, even though they are wicked. I will forget their sins.

Ito yung tunay na pakahulugan ng “to forgive is to forget.” And to forgive is to move on. Ang talino talaga ng Dios, alam nya ang solusyon.   Sabi nya, “Ang mga taong ito lagi na lang nagkakasala, alangan namang lagi na lang akong laging mainis. Lagi na lang silang nagkukulang, alangan namang laging kumulo ang dugo ko. Kaya ang gagawin ko papatawarin ko sila at kalilimutan ko na lang ang mga kasalanan nila.” Forgive people and forget their misdeeds.

But we must also make it easier for others to forgive us and to forget what we did to them. Marami din tayong pagkukulang sa iba. Every day, sinasadya man o hindi, we offend people around us. Sometimes we take other people’s rightful places. Sometimes we take the promotion that others think they deserve. Sometimes we win this romantic object that others feel they should have instead. Nagkukulang din tayo. At mabuting tulungan din natin ang iba na patawarin tayo.

Kung tayo ang may kasalanan, magpakumbaba at humingi ng tawad. Kung may nainis tayo, magpasintabi. Kung may pagkukulang, punuan. Kung may utang, bayaran. Help people forgive you because it is unkind to cause others to hate you. Hatred sets them back. Isang tunay na kabutihan ay yung pagtulong sa kapwa na huwag silang mayamot sa atin. Kung nagkakasala sila, mananagot din tayo sa Dios dahil tayo ang dahilan ng pagkakasala nila. Kaya hindi lang tayo nag-iisip na, “Kailangan ko palang magpatawad.” Dapat din nating isipin, “Paano ko kaya tutulungan silang patawarin din ako?”

MAKISANGKOT

Luke 5:12-13

Jesus came to a town where there was a man who had leprosy. When the man saw Jesus, he knelt down to the ground in front of Jesus and begged, “Lord, you have the power to make me well, if only you wanted to.” Jesus put his hand on him and said, “I want to. Now you are well.” At once the man’s leprosy disappeared.

Touch could mean acceptance. It could also have great therapeutic effects and healing power. Through touching, there is connection and a conveyance of emotional power. Pero sa dinami-rami ng mahahawakan, yun pang may ketong? Pinaniniwalaan nila noon na if you touch a leper, you would be leprous yourself. At the very least, you could get infected. But the Lord touched even the lepers.

Hindi tayo puedeng tumulong sa ibang tao if we will not touch them. Touching is not only physical. You get involved, sasangkot ka talaga. May lumalabas na power sa iyo, pupunta sa kanya kaya ka nakakapag-empower. Ang tunay na pagbibigay ay yung nararamdaman mong nahihirapan ka sa iyong pagbibigay, nagkakaroon ng pakinabang ang iyong binibigyan.

Like Jesus, we should learn to touch people, but tastefully and prayerfully in a good time and in a very sincere way. Yun lang dapat, hindi more than what culture and goodly quorum allows. Words can also touch. Nakakahipo ang salita. Kaya may nagsalita lang ng isang bagay, ang saya-saya mo na maghapon dahil sa nadinig mo. Or ang lungkut-lungkot mo o nagalit ka dahil lang sa salita. You can make or break somebody’s day or heart by your words. Touch people the way Jesus did.

DO GREATER THINGS

John 2:9b-10 (NIV)

He (the man in charge of the feast) called the bridegroom over and said, “The best wine is always served first. Then after the guests have had plenty, the other wine is served. But you have kept the best until last!”

Sa kauna-unahang himala ng Panginoon ay magkakaroon tayo ng clue sa magiging buong tema ng kanyang ministry – the practical, useful and simple. Hindi malaking theological issue yung himalang ginawa nya sa isang kasalan sa isang maliit na baryo. It was about improving an otherwise bad situation.

Christians can also turn water into wine now as Christ empowers and commands us to do greater things (see John 14:12). Puede nating pagandahin ang isang pangit na sitwasyon. May magkagalit, sasali kayo, magkakasundo sila. May dinadatnan kayong pamilyang nagugutom, may dala naman kayong pansit. May nadidiliman ng isip, ipinanalangin ninyo, binigyan ng payo, binasahan ng Biblia, naliwanagan siya. You turned a bad situation into a good one. Ganyan ang halaga ng mga anak ng Diyos. Kahit saan sila dumapo, tumuntong, dumating, gumaganda ang sitwasyon.

Ano’ng mga kagipitan at kasalatan ng kapwa ang nagkaroon ng kasiyahan dahil pumasok tayo sa eksena? Ano’ng mga sigalot ang nagkaroon ng kaayusan dahil tayo’y namagitan? We can and we should be ready, willing and able to help the needy, to give good things to people, to improve situations, and to turn ordinary things into special ones. Kaya mag-isip-isip tayo kung ano’ng water ang dapat gawing wine.
