TOP PRIORITY
Just
now mga friends and blog readers, GOD reminded me of something more important than
anything else in this world. We have our possessions that truly matters
especially on our basic needs for ourselves and for our family. Don’t get me wrong coz there’s nothing wrong with
having a convenient life, having
a
nice house, a car, business name it there’s nothing wrong with that when you
have overall control on these things. It is really absurd that most of us are
on the reverse side wherein instead of controlling over all these things, we
are the ones who are controlled by these things. Just now I realized clearly that “control over”
is totally different from “over control” You can barely ask yourselves which
one I am in?
Even
myself when I write this sharing, I feel ashamed because the reality is most of
the time my mind is diverted from other things, temporal things in this world.
I even spent more time for work, than to have quiet time with our LORD. So what’s the point I am writing this? Simple,
this is a general message for everybody, a wake-up call. What happened to your favorite bible verses?
JOHN 15:7? and yet you are still remaining in this world not with the LORD. How
about Matthew 6:33? You know this verse since your childhood isn’t it? you even
recite this during children Sunday school. What did you seek? Pleasure?
Self
satisfaction? In other words, what is
your priority and focus now? Do you have any plan? We are not contented because
we want to be appreciated and recognize with all of these possessions that we
are in and updated on trends. Ang babaw noh? Ewwwww! What a shame. Okey let’s make tagalog nman, sorry kasi we
have readers from other countries and they need to understand our sharing. Gusto ko lang now I emphasize sa tagalog
itong mga susunod na sasabihin ko para masarap sa damdamin natin. Heheheh. SAbi
ko nga before bato bato sa langit ang tamaan MAPURUHAN SANA! Sorry friends I don’t
make any excuses. Here we go. Pag nasa church ka anong ginagawa mo? Nasa
church kaba dahil sa mga kaibigan mo lang? parang barkadahan? Andun kasi mga
kaibigan ko eh kaya dapat andun din ako, kahit hindi ko naiintindihan kung
bakit. Kaya nasa church ako gusto ko magpasikat kasi talented ako eh, andun
kasi ung crush ko, kelangan galingan ko. Ang popogi natin at ang gaganda diba? Tsk
tsk. Kunwari nag seserve ako kay GOD,
pero kaya andito pa din ako sa ministry kasi may love life ako dito eh, si
brother ang gwapo at si sis ang ganda.
Mas gusto ko kasi makinig ng mensahe sa church about sa lovelife kesa sa
mensahe na mas makakatulong sa paglago ko bilang tunay na Kristyano. Ano
sasagot mo? E Kuya Noel kasi biblical nman ung sharing about sa lovelife na sinasabi ni Pastor or sinasabi ni brother,
biblical yun kaya wag tayo judgemental. Hahaha! Wag kang plastic, kasi pag sinunog
ka sa impiyerno ang baho mo lalo. Try mo, dba pag may nasusunog na plastic ang
baho diba?
Kahit
bali baligtarin mo man ang sitwasyon, alam natin lahat kung ano ang pinag
uusapan natin. Nag chu church ka? Eh d mo nga mabati ung kinasamaan mo ng loob
dati? Ni hindi ka marunong magpakumbaba? Tapos pag worship nagtataas kpa ng
kamay? D kba nangangalay? O baka nman hindi ka nagpupuri sa Panginoon kasi
hanggang ngayon observant kpa din? Nagpapatuloy tayo sa ministry kasi para lang
may masabi na may ministry tayo kahit wala na sa puso natin. Sa youth ministry
kaba? Sa programming? Sa music? Sa word ministry? Elder kba? Youth? Prayer warrior
ka? Usher? Anino ka ba? Kasi ang itim na ng pagkatao mo eh. Kaya nga pag na rebuke ka ng Pastor mo or ng
leader mo nagtatampo tayo agad, kasi ayaw natin tumanggap ng tama, kasi tayo
lage ang tama eh. Selfish kaya ang lansa lansa ng amoy eh. D ba tayo nahihiya nyan kay LORD? Wag tayo
magtuturo ng pagkukulang ng iba para iligtas ang sarili natin sa katotohanan,
at kapag may mali tayo accept it wag na tayo mag justify kung alam nman natin
sa sarili natin na may mali tayo at pagkukulang, mahiya tayo sa mga sarili
natin at higit sa lahat sa Panginoon. Wag tayo titingin sa tao, kahit mga lider man
natin ay hindi perpekto, nagkakamali nagkakasala, pero hahayaan mo ba na dahil
sa bagay na un eh madadapa ka? Unang
una, hindi ka nman maililigtas ng mga
Pastor mo, o mangangaral mo, sila man ay instrument lang kaya nag dapat natin
pagsumikapan ay ang tumingin sa Panginoon lamang. Bro. Noel, alam ko nay an… basic teaching
yan, Weh? D nga? E BAKIT HINDI MO GINAGAWA? ALAM MO PALA EH. Just to remind us mga friends and readers na
sa Science though we know the formula and even made it unless we went through
process and make it work, masasabi natin na tagumpay tayo. Unless walang application and output quiet ka
na lang. Kaya nga minsan paulit ulit ang
preaching kasi wala pang makitang output sa atin eh, wlang positive outcome,
walang changes. We are not really
serving the Lord, we are serving ourselves.
True! Kaya when most of the time I watched a documentary clips sa
internet about hell? Sharing about the reality of hell? D nako nagtataka na
sinasabi na maraming mga kilalang tao dun eh, non Christians, and even
Christians huh! May mga pari din dun, mga Pastor, mga Musicians sa Church yan
ha? What does it mean? Kaya if you are not really serving GOD genuinely better
stop now, kasi walang ipokrito na papasok sa langit. Brother and Sister, kahit
maghapon ka magtatalak dyan at magkakakanta dyan at sumasayaw, tumutugtog,
gumagawa sa ministry, or even doing some good works for others, lahat yan
useless. Pag minalas malas kpa nga baka
tamaan kpa ng kidlat eh, dahil lapastangan ka sa kanya. Don’t even think that you are holy or you
feel the presence of God, kapag ginagawa ko ito, pag ganon, I feel the spirit
of GOD. Nah..nah…nah, hindi spirit ni
GOD yan, baka nakainom ka lang, espiritu ng alak yan. Alam mo kung ano tawag
dun? EMOTION, emosyonal ka lang. Kasi
ang tunay na nakakaramdam sa holy spirit ay may pagbabago. Kaya pag nakaramdam ka na bless na bless ka,
oh LORDDDD……I feel your presence, tapos madamot ka? Selfish kpa din? Pasaway kpa
din? Mas inuuna mo pa din ang ibang bagay kesa sa LORD? Puro ka lovelife??? Puro
ka pasikat? Hindi mo alam ang mga bagay sa mundo at mga bagay sa langit, hindi
mo alam ang if you are compromising or not kasi you are not reading the word of
GOD.
Mga
friends, bros and sisters. Mga blog readers, today is my dayoff sa work, sabi
ko I want to rest and I did. After 2 hours of conversation sa skype sa family
ko and I thanked them kasi pinadalhan nila ako ng bacon and salted egg. Hehehe I
am very happy, kasi its not the item na nagpapasaya sa akin, kundi ung effort
nila na they remembered me, msarap sa pakiramdam, I feel blessed. You know what? Ganon din naman sa PANGINOON,
it’s not about our offering its about our genuine thoughts and effort to make
the LORD blessed. GOD knows if He is our priority, if He is the reason why we
are giving our time and efforts, surely He knows. Our time is running fast, we may be not
anymore here in this world when the time comes, we don’t know but we need to do
things and give priority to eternal things and not of this world. If you are for GOD make changes today, if not
you better practice to put your fingers on the fire.
Romans 12:2 “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye
transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that
good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Luke 12:34 “For where your treasure is, there will your
heart be also”.
