Editor's Notes
Ang isang pusong alam na hindi nito kayang mag-isa. A heart that knows it needs Him. Isang puso na hindi lumiliko sa ibang lugar para lang makahanap ng pag-asa but a heart that walks directly towards Him. Isang puso na may matibay na pananampalataya o tiwala hindi sa kanyang sarili, sa sarili nitong pagiging perpekto at walang kapintasan, but a heart that trusts Him with His perfect obedience at higit sa lahat sa pagbabayad-sala sa kamatayan sa Krus.
If you want God to use you greatly, here are five things you need to do to make yourself usable by Him.
So The first step to being used by God is always personal cleansing. Without exception, when you find someone whom God is using in a great way, they’ve dealt with the personal sin in their lives before God. Hindi ito tungkol sa iyong nakaraan or your status in this world, it is not about your talents, It is not about everything that you have but it is about how pure or clear and clean your heart is infront of Him. Take note: Gumagamit ang Diyos ng maliliit na sisidlan (small vessels), payak na sisidlan(plain vessels), at kahit mga sirang sisidlan(broken vessels) but God will never use a dirty vessel, hindi Siya gagamit ng maruming sisidlan.
So bilang Kristiyano na willing magpagamit sa kanya, we should choose to be a vessel of honor to God, When we confess our sins, we apply the blood of Jesus to our dirty lives. To be a vessel for honor, you must walk in the light, confessing all known sin to God. To be a servant to God is to be a vessel of Honor for Him
One of the most misunderstood words in leadership circles is the word vision. We think of vision as prediction, but none of us can know the future the way God does. Vision is seeing God at work in your present situation and moving with Him. It’s about getting in on what God is doing in the world and being a part of it where He has placed you. If you make up your own vision, you’re already off course.
Seeking the Lord also involves living intentionally with reliance upon him. We are to search for “his strength” by calling out to him for help and allow his Spirit to guide and empower us. We seek the Lord when we desire to honor him with all of our lives, not just the obviously religious stuff. Yes, to be sure, we seek God by praying, reading Scripture, gathering with other believers for worship, and joining in the work of the church. But we are to seek the Lord “continually,” according to Psalm 105. When we’re in the classroom or the boardroom, when we’re chatting with our friends or deliberating with our colleagues, we seek the Lord by being open to his guidance, wisdom, and strength. The very act of seeking God honors him, giving him rightful place as Lord of our lives. It also enables us to live for his purposes, advancing the presence of his kingdom.
God uses grateful people. Further, gratefulness is one of the keys to a firm ministry. Doctors refer to gratitude as the healthiest of all emotions because of its physical benefits. Kailangan nating patuloy na paalalahanan ang ating sarili na ang maglingkod kay Jesus ay isang pribilehiyo,pag sinabi nating privelege o pribilehiyo, ito ay isang bagay na maaaring magkaroon ng mga kundisyon sa pagbibigay nito, maaaring itong alisin saatin ng Panginoon dahil sa kaunting nating pagsasaalang-alang o kaunting pagpapahalaga. So bilang lingkod ng panginoon, wag natin talikuran ang mga bagay na ginagawa ng Diyos sa buhay natin, at sa paligid natin dahil sa patuloy siyang magbibigay ng biyaya sa mga anak at lingkod niya.
Be grateful to God in all things at all times, no matter the situation, good or bad. It is easy to thank God when things are going well; that’s not hard at all. It’s when we are going through trials and rough times that gratitude is hard to muster; but through these times is when gratitude is most important, especially for spiritual growth.
Bilang mga tao, hindi naman tayo talaga as in perfect, minsan madali tayo mahulog sa bitag ng mga negatibong sitwasyon, pero tandaan natin na if maz mga oras na si God, If God allows us to suffer, Ito yung mga oras kung kailan naghihintay ang Siya na maging lakas na kailangan natin. So isipin natin palagi na sa mga time na nahihirapan tayo, at the end of the day, may surprise si Lord sa atin, sa mga oras na nahihirapan tayo, may ginagawa si Lord and there is a better plan for u a head. kaya Keep our heart grateful sa Kanya always. In that case can can use you for His honor.
Remember the basics. As a servant of God, wag natin to kakalimutan... hindi tayo kumakanta, sumasayaw, nagooffer ng song and praises for Him dahil gusto natin, dahil guto natin palakpakan tayo, dahil gusto nating masabihan na tayo ay magaling, always remember that it’s not all about us but all about the purpose of God in our lives..I, Ikaw, tayo, we were planned for God’s pleasure, formed for God’s family, created to become like Christ, shaped for service, and made for a mission! These aren’t just good points for teaching others or for leading a church. These are the purposes for which God made you!
Acts 13:36, “David served God’s purpose in his own generation.” So sana ito yung maging ultimate desire natin... To serve God’s purpose in our own generation.
Christ is to be looked unto as "Jesus", a Saviour, who being appointed and sent by God to be a Saviour, came, and is become the author of eternal salvation; and to him only should we look for it: he is able and willing to save; he is a suitable, complete, and only Saviour; and whoever look to him by faith shall be saved; and he is to be considered, and looked unto, as "the author and finisher of faith" Keeping or mind on Jeus will be one of the greatest assets of our faith when a time of trial comes, because then our faith and the Spirit of God will work together.
When you have thoughts and ideas that are worthy of credit to God, learn to compare and associate them with all that happens in nature— the rising and the setting of the sun, the shining of the moon and the stars, and the changing of the seasons. You will begin to see that your thoughts are from God as well, and your mind will no longer be at the mercy of your impulsive thinking, but will always be used in service to God.
Tandaan natin na He is set down at the right hand of the throne of God;
Which is in heaven. Ang katotohanang ito ay nag aasure satin, that when we have run out our race, we shall sit down too, with Christ upon his throne, and be at rest.
God’s purpose for our life is far greater than our problems. Don’t give up, it is ok not to be okay, it is ok to be discourage sometimes but remeber that sufferings in this world is temporary and when we Go to Jesus, we Keep our mind on Him, we will be with him eternally.
So we should to our best to achieve or do all of these kung willing ka talagang magpagamit sa ating pangioon. Let us all be a usable vessel, a vessel of Honor to God!
