Chosen to Do Your Will 

John 4:34-35 NIV

34] “My food,” said Jesus, “is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work. [35] Don't you have a saying, 'It's still four months until harvest'? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.

  1.    You and I preseving By The Lord 

Why Because : 

We are Choosen By Him and apointed to the Ministry OF our God ( Lastday Word In the Lastday)

2  Cor. 4:1

"It is God himself, in his mercy, who has given us this wonderful MINISTRY work [of telling his Good News to others, and so we never give up"

2 Corinthians 4:1

Dahi sa habag ng Diyos,

   ibinigay niya sa amin ang paglilingkod na ito 

kaya't hindi humihina ang aming loob.

 2.   We Need to Pursue our Mission Here ON Earth

2 Mga Taga-Corinto 4:12,15-16

[12]At habang kami'y dahan-dahang namamatay, kayo nama'y nagkakaroon ng buhay.

[15]Ang lahat ng pagtitiis ko ay para sa kapakanan ninyo upang sa pagdami ng mga nakakatanggap ng mga kaloob ng Diyos, lalo pang dumami ang magpapasalamat at magpupuri sa kanya.

[16]Kaya't hindi kami nasisiraan ng loob kahit na humihina ang aming katawang-lupa; patuloy namang lumalakas ang aming espiritu araw-araw.

B. THE GLORY OF THE LORD

- More believers means that there are more people to glorify Him.

[15]Ang lahat ng pagtitiis ko ay para sa kapakanan ninyo upang sa pagdami ng mga nakakatanggap ng mga kaloob ng Diyos, lalo pang dumami ang magpapasalamat at magpupuri sa kanya.

A true leader is committed to the cause. 

 3.      We are Protected By our God 

We are  choosen , He is our COMPANION.

"God never abandons us" (4:9). God is with us.

2 Mga Taga-Corinto 4:9

Inuusig kami, ngunit hindi kami pinababayaan ng Panginoon. Napapabagsak kami, ngunit di tuluyang napapatay.

When the storms of life hit, we need to be standing close to other Christians and even closer to God. The closer we stand, the more we will be able withstand. 

B. FUTURE 

2 Mga Taga-Corinto 4:16-18

[16]Kaya't hindi kami nasisiraan ng loob kahit na humihina ang aming katawang-lupa; 

patuloy namang lumalakas ang aming espiritu araw-araw.

[17]Ang bahagya at panandaliang kapighatiang dinaranas namin ngayon ay 

magbubunga ng kagalakang walang hanggan at walang katulad.

[18]Kaya't ang paningin namin ay nakatuon sa mga bagay na di-nakikita, at hindi sa mga bagay na nakikita. 

Sapagkat panandalian lamang ang mga bagay na nakikita, ngunit walang hanggan ang mga bagay na di-nakikita.

In light of eternity and the glory to come, the sufferings of this present life are nothing when compared to that which is to come. ...they do it for a corruptible crown, we for an incorruptible crown.

A Call to Evangelize

John 4:35 

35 Don’t you have a saying, ‘It’s still four months until harvest’? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.

HOW: How are we going to look unto the fields?

1. Look with compassion. Matthew 9:36

2. Look with love. Luke 6:27-36

3. Look with humility. Romans 12:3; Proverbs 3:30-34

WHAT: What are we going to do?

1. Communicate.

2. Engage. Show kindness Luke 10:30-35

3. Testify. Matthew 5:14-16

CONCLUSION:

Jesus urge (NOW) His disciples (we-Christians)to open their eyes (look with compassion, love & humility) and look into the fields (sinners, prodigals & unfaithful Christians). He sent us to communicate, engage and testify the truth about Jesus.

"THE BELIEVERS AND THEIR PRAYER LIFE" 

 James 5:13-18 13]  Nahihirapan ba ang sinuman sa inyo? Manalangin siya. Nagagalak ba ang sinuman? Umawit siya ng papuri sa Diyos. 14]  Kung kayo ay may sakit, ipatawag ninyo ang mga pinuno ng iglesya upang ipanalangin kayo at pahiran ng langis sa pangalan ng Panginoon. 15]  Pagagalingin ng Diyos ang maysakit dahil sa panalanging may pananampalataya; palalakasin siyang muli ng Panginoon at patatawarin ang kanyang mga kasalanan. 16] Kaya nga, ipagtapat ninyo sa inyong mga kapatid ang inyong mga kasalanan at ipanalangin ninyo ang isa't isa, upang kayo'y gumaling. Malaki ang nagagawa ng panalangin ng taong matuwid. 17]  Si Elias ay isang tao na tulad din natin; nang mataimtim siyang nanalangin na huwag umulan, hindi nga umulan sa loob ng tatlong taon at anim na buwan. 18]  At nang siya'y nanalangin para umulan, bumagsak nga ang ulan at namunga ang mga halaman. 

 (God's Promises In Prayer)  

1.   God Hear Us   Jeremias 33:2  2] Ganito ang sabi sa kanya: “Ako ang lumikha, humugis at nag-ayos ng buong daigdig. Yahweh ang aking pangalan. 3]  Kung mananalangin ka sa akin, tutugunin kita, at ipahahayag ko sa iyo ang mga bagay na dakila at mahiwaga na hindi mo pa nalalaman.  

Isaias 65:24  Ang dalangin nila kahit hindi pa tapos ay aking diringgin,  at ibibigay ko ang kanilang hinihiling.

2. God Help Us   Mateo 7:7 7]  “Humingi kayo at kayo'y bibigyan; humanap kayo at kayo'y makakatagpo; kumatok kayo at kayo'y pagbubuksan. 8]  Sapagkat ang bawat humihingi ay tatanggap; ang bawat humahanap ay makakatagpo; at ang bawat kumakatok ay pagbubuksan. 9]  Bibigyan ba ninyo ng bato ang inyong anak kapag siya'y humihingi ng tinapay? 10]  Bibigyan ba ninyo siya ng ahas kapag siya'y humihingi ng isda? 11]  Kung kayong masasama ay marunong magbigay ng mabubuting bagay sa inyong mga anak, gaano pa kaya ang inyong Ama na nasa langit? Bibigyan niya ng mabubuting bagay ang sinumang humihingi sa kanya!  

Marcos 11:24  Kaya't sinasabi ko sa inyo, anuman ang hingin ninyo sa inyong panalangin, maniwala kayong natanggap na ninyo iyon, at matatanggap nga ninyo iyon.  1 Juan 5:14  14] Hindi tayo nag-aatubiling lumapit sa kanya dahil alam nating ibibigay niya ang anumang hingin natin kung ito'y naaayon sa kanyang kalooban. 15]  At dahil alam nating pinapakinggan nga niya tayo, alam din nating ibinibigay niya ang bawat hinihiling natin sa kanya.

3.  God meet the desire of your HEART  

Psalm 37:4-5 NIV 4] Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. 5] Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this:  Psalm 37:7 NIV Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.

4.]  God fulfill what you HOPE for.  Jeremiah 29:11-14 NIV 11] For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.  12] Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.  13] You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.  14] I will be found by you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back from captivity. I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile.”

"THE MANIFESTED Power OF GOD"

Acts 3:1-10 NIV

1] One day Peter and John were going up to the temple at the time of prayer---at three in the afternoon.

2] Now a man who was lame from birth was being carried to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he was put every day to beg from those going into the temple courts.

3] When he saw Peter and John about to enter, he asked them for money.

4] Peter looked straight at him, as did John. Then Peter said, “Look at us!”

5] So the man gave them his attention, expecting to get something from them.

6] Then Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.”

7] Taking him by the right hand, he helped him up, and instantly the man's feet and ankles became strong.

8] He jumped to his feet and began to walk. Then he went with them into the temple courts, walking and jumping, and praising God.

9] When all the people saw him walking and praising God,

10] they recognized him as the same man who used to sit begging at the temple gate called Beautiful, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.

1. GOD’S POWER FLOWS WHERE HE IS.

- But I thank God, that when the saving, healing presence of God was no longer in this Temple, YET HE WAS IN THE LIVES OF THESE TWO DISCIPLES OF JESUS

- Peter and John.

2. GOD’S POWER FLOWS WHERE THERE IS EXPECTANCY.

- The word "expectancy" here means:

"TO WAIT FOR SOMETHING IN SUSPENSE".

(WE MUST COME TO GOD WITH EXPECTANCY!)

3. GOD’S POWER FLOWS WHERE RIGHT AUTHORITY IS RECOGNIZED.

- The authority of JESUS

MATT 28:18

Jesus says: "ALL authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth." All authority belongs to Jesus! That’s wonderful enough, is it not?! But now listen further, because if we read on we see that Jesus has made His authority available to us!

- Matt 28:19].

God’s POWER flows where RIGHT AUTHORITY is RIGHTLY RECOGNIZED. Christians would get a hold of this truth - that JESUS' AUTHORITY is AVAILABLE to His CHURCH to COMPLETE the MISSION that He sent US on!

GLORY TO JESUS

But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength;

Isaiah 40:28-31 NIV

28] Do you not know? Have you not heard?

The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom.

29] He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.

30] Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall;

31] but those who wait (hope) in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

SOME BIBLICAL EXAMPLES OF WAITING UPON THE LORD:

A. ABRAHAM AND SARAH (FOR ISAAC)

B. NOAH (FOR THE FLOOD AND SUBSIDING WATERS)

C. JOSEPH (FOR HIS "TIME" IN POWER)

D. JESUS (FOR THE "TIME TO BE FULFILLED")

E. MARY AND MARTHA (FOR JESUS TO ARRIVE WHEN LAZRUS DIED.

F. THE DISCIPLES (FOR THE PROMISED HOLY SPIRIT)

G. ALL BELIEVERS (AWAITING HIS RETURN)

IN EACH CASE THEY

1. KNEW GOD’S PROMISES

2. RESTED IN GOD’S Words

3. RELIED UPON HIS LOVE

The WORD create our World

Isaias 40:28

Hindi ba ninyo nalalaman, di ba ninyo naririnig? Na itong si Yahweh, ang walang hanggang Diyos,     ang siyang lumikha ng buong daigdig? Hindi siya napapagod;     sa isipan niya'y walang makakaunawa.

Isaias 40:29

Ang mahihina't mga napapagod ay kanyang pinapalakas.

Isaias 40:30

Kahit na ang mga kabataan ay napapagod     at nanlulupay

Isaias 40:31

Ngunit muling lumalakas     at sumisigla ang nagtitiwala kay Yahweh. Lilipad silang tulad ng mga agila.     Sila'y tatakbo ngunit hindi mapapagod,     sila'y lalakad ngunit hindi manghihina.

Mga Kawikaan 4:20

Aking anak, salita ko ay pakinggan mong mabuti,     pakinig mo ay ikiling sa aking sinasabi.

Mga Kawikaan 4:21

Huwag itong babayaang mawala sa paningin,     sa puso mo ay iukit nang mabuti at malalim.

Mga Kawikaan 4:22

Pagkat itong kaalaman ay daan ng buhay,     nagbibigay kalusuga't kagalingan ng katawan.

Mga Kawikaan 4:23

Ang puso mo'y ingatang mabuti at alagaan,     pagkat iyan ang siyang bukal ng buhay mong tinataglay.

Mga Awit 32:6

Mga Awit 32:7

Ikaw ang aking lugar na kublihan;     inililigtas mo ako sa kapahamakan. Aawitin ko nang malakas,     pag-iingat mo't pagliligtas. (Selah)

Mga Awit 32:8

Ang sabi ni Yahweh, “Aakayin kita sa daan,     tuturuan kita at laging papayuhan.

Isaias 46:4

Ako ang inyong Diyos.     Iingatan ko kayo hanggang sa pumuti ang inyong buhok at kayo'y tumanda. Kayo'y nilikha ko kaya tungkulin ko     na kayo'y iligtas at tulungan.”

Fan into Flames

2 Timothy 1:6-9

3 Important things to we need to stir up the vision we had.

1. Keep your vision burning through your gifts. v.6

“For this reason, I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands.”

2. Be strong and courageous. v.7

“For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.

3. Acknowledge Jesus in your daily life. v.8-9

JESUS is the “air” we need to fire up the vision.

We must not be ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus. We must be known as a follower of Christ. Let us not be ashamed of every testimony we had.
