Friends another chapter to prove how glory is the Lord.
This chapter Ipopoint out ko ang misconception about money. Friends I tell you that money is useless. Money is pointless.
Ang napapansin kong sakit ng mga tao ngayon is pera. We are so consumed sa thought na pagmayaman ka masaya ka. We value money so much, when the truth is papel lang to and walang halaga.
Friends you need to understand that money is just a paper, of no value, just a thing used in trading.
The Lord says, you can't serve two master at the same time.
Ulit, try to study your life. Bakit ka nagaaral? Bakit ka nagsusumikap?
Karamihan sa atin we strive hard dahil lang sa pera.
Sige nga, sa isang gyera I don't know if that's from vietnam, I don't remember. Nung nagkagyera dun, ang halaga ng isang sardinas ay 3 million! 3 million! Nagiipon sila ng pera para lang magkasardinas.
Imagine that day, and think, what is more important the money o yung isang sardinas? Hindi ba yung sardinas? Ipagpapalit mo nga yung 3 milyon para sa sardinas diba?
So anong ibig sabihin nun? When God ceased to shower us blessings, hindi mo maipagmamalaki ang pera mo.
Imagine if God contaminate water and all the creature living on it die at ang natira na lang farm. Would you think may maipagmamayabang ang pera sa magsasaka? Ang pera mo walang value, hindi ipagpapalit ng magsasaka ang pinaghirapan niyang anihin para sa pera mo.
Do you get my point?
Friends do not pursue money, wag mong ifocus ang buhay mo sa pera.
Hindi ba't sinabi ni Lord na he'll bless you with all the things you need. So why pursue money if God can give you all the things you need?
Most christians bumabagsak pagdating sa pera. Why waste your time in achieving money? When it means nothing but a piece of paper na may design.
Nakita ko sa kabataan ngayon na ang turing nila sa success is when you earned a lot of money.
Friends do not pursue money and success, pursue God's will and in everything you do, success will follow.
Si Solomon na mismo ang nagsabi na habang nabubuhay ka, lahat ng bagay sa mundo only brings nothing but worry and heartache, kaya bakit mo hinahangad makuha to?
Ecclesiastes 2:18-20
18 Nothing that I had worked for and earned meant a thing to me, because I knew that I would have to leave it to my successor, 19 and he might be wise, or he might be foolish --- who knows? Yet he will own everything my wisdom has earned for me in this world. It is all useless. 20 So I came to regret that I had worked so hard.
Tama naman siya diba? Ang tao nagpapakahirap, nagkakandakuba sa pagtratrabaho, para lang yumaman. And after nun ano? Lahat ng pinaghirapan mo mapupunta lang sa anak mo o kahit na sinong tagapagmana mo, na ni isang patak ng pawis hindi nagpakahirap sa kayamanang pinagpaguran mo. Ni hindi mo alam kung san niya to gagamitin. Hindi mo alam kung lulustayin lang niya sa wala ang perang pinagtuunan mo ng buong buhay mo. Diba useless? Pati buhay mo naging useless nauwi sa wala.
Ecclesiastes 2: 24-25
24 The best thing we can do is eat and drink and enjoy what we have earned. And yet, I realized that even this comes from God. 25 How else could you have anything to enjoy or eat yourself at all?
Karamihan din sa tao ganito ginagawa, they drink, eat, party and other stuff. Reason? To enjoy what they earn, kasi hindi nga naman madadala sa hukay ang pera. Tama ba? Mali pa din.
