2. Mula nang mamatay ang kanilang ama, nag-alala
na ang mga kapatid ni Jose.
Sabi nila, Paano kung galit pa sa atin si Jose at
gantihan tayo sa kalupitang ginawa natin sa
kanya? Nagpasugo sila kay Jose at ipinasabi ang
ganito: Bago namatay ang ating ama, ipinagbilin
niya na sabihin ito sa iyo, Nakikiusap ako na
patawarin mo na ang iyong mga kapatid sa ginawa
nila sa iyo.
Kaya naman ngayon, nagsusumamo kami sa iyo
na patawarin mo kaming mga lingkod ng Diyos ng
iyong ama. Napaiyak si Jose nang marinig ito.
3. Lumapit lahat ang kanyang mga kapatid at yumuko
sa harapan niya. Kami'y mga alipin mo, wika nila.
Ngunit sinabi ni Jose, Huwag kayong matakot!
Maaari ko bang palitan ang Diyos? Masama nga ang
inyong ginawa sa akin, subalit ipinahintulot iyon ng
para sa kabutihan, at dahil doo'y naligtas ang
ngayon.
Kaya, huwag na kayong mag-alala. Ako ang bahala
sa inyo at sa inyong mga anak. Napanatag ang kanilang
kalooban sa mga sinabing ito ni Jose.
4. JOSEPH, THE DREAMER (Genesis 37-50)
Obedient, but Hated
Honorable, but Slandered
Used by God, but Forgotten
6. The story of Joseph, the son of Jacob who
was called Israel, is a vivid representation of
the great truth that 'all things work together
for good to [those] who loved God, who are
called according to His purpose.' (Romans
8:28).
7. Alam natin na sa lahat ng bagay ay
gumagawa ang Diyos ng mabuti para sa mga
nagmamahal sa kanya.
- Romans 8:28
9. 1. Theres a special plan for you
Sapagkat batid kong lubos ang mga plano
ko para sa inyo; mga planong hindi ninyo
ikakasama kundi para sa inyong ikabubuti. Ito'y
mga planong magdudulot sa inyo ng
kinabukasang punung-puno ng pag-asa.
- Jeremiah 29:11
10. Ang sabi ni Yahweh, Ang aking kaisipa'y hindi ninyo
kaisipan, ang inyong kaparaanan ay hindi ko
kaparaanan.
Kung paanong ang langit ay mas mataas kaysa lupa,
ang aking kaparaanan ay higit kaysa inyong
kaparaanan, at ang aking kaisipan ay hindi maaabot
ng inyong kaisipan.
- Isaias 55:8-9
11. o God has something far more special for us than we
could ever imagine.
o No matter how dark the clouds, how depressing the
circumstances, how hard life is, be confident that God
something special for you. He has a lot store for you.
Just trust HIM even in the uncertainty and unexpected.
12. o When you cannot see Gods hands, trust His heart. Its
for your good.
o When we dont see it, God is working. When we dont
feel it, God is working. HE IS WORKING BEHIND THE
SCENE. All we need to do is TRUST and OBEY.
13. o It was Gods plan for Joseph that sustained him
during the times when he was a slave in Egypt and
when he was in prison.
o Always remember that you are a special person
created by God for a special purpose!
o HUWAG KANG SUMUKO, MAY IKUKUWENTO KA
PA!
14. 2. There are special problems for you
Ang sagot ni Job, Hindi mo naiintindihan ang
iyong sinasabi. Pagpapala lang ba ang tatanggapin mo
sa Diyos? Hindi ba dapat pati ang pagdurusa? Sa kabila
ng kanyang paghihirap, hindi nagsalita si Job ng laban
sa Diyos.
- Job 2:10
15. The life of Joseph is one of great problems and
trials. In v. 18, his brothers conspired against him. In v.
21, he was thrown into a pit. In v. 28, he was sold as a
slave. In ch. 39, he is falsely accused of rape. In ch. 40 he
is thrown into prison. Joseph was forsaken by his family,
forgotten by his friends and frustrated by his failures.
Please remember that all these things that
happened to Joseph were just part of God's plan for
life.
16. o God does not cause evil and suffering but when it happens, He
works it out to His purpose. Everything that you encounter will
add to Gods purpose in your life. Just as Joseph, God plants
dreams in us and nothing can harm our dreams.
o God can turn our bitter sufferings into a better testimonies.
o Gods purpose for us: our lives have impacts in the lives of
others.
o Indeed, a painful moment is an opportunity for Gods Grace.
When we are weak, God is strong.
17. o We must learn to shift our focus from the problem, to the
problem solver.
o We must lean on God, especially when times are tough.
oWe must learn to trust God. Just because we dont hear from
Him doesnt mean He is silent. He is still at work in our lives.
oPeople may fail you or disappoint you. Circumstances may
discourage you. Let that drive you closer to God.
oGOD WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU.
18. 3. Theres a special god with you
Ako'y sasaiyo, huwag kang matakot, ako ang iyong
Diyos, hindi ka dapat mangamba. Palalakasin kita at
tutulungan, iingatan at ililigtas.
- Isaias 41:10
19. oThe account of Joseph, the dreamer illustrates the doctrine of
the sovereignty (control) of God.
o A confidence in God's sovereignty inspires great courage.
o Allow God to meet your in your brokenness. God will meet you
in your downfall. He will meet you at your downfall. He will be
your strength at your weakness
20. How many times has God saved us in the past? How
many times does He bless us? How many times has He
met our needs when it seemed all hope was lost?
KEEP TRUSTING GOD EVEN IN THE
UNCERTAINTIES AND UNEXPECTED.
21. Mapalad ang mga taong nagtitiwala kay Yahweh,
pagpapalain ang umaasa sa kanya. Katulad niya'y isang
punongkahoy na nakatanim sa tabi ng batisan; ang mga
ugat ay patungo sa tubig; hindi ito manganganib kahit
dumating ang tag-init, sapagkat mananatiling luntian
ang mga dahon nito, kahit hindi umulan ay wala itong
aalalahanin; patuloy pa rin itong mamumunga.
- Jeremias 17:7-8
22. Dear 4Ms family,
Huwag kang sumuko. Hindi ka iiwan ng Diyos. Hindi ka Niya
pababayaan. Kaya niyang baguhin ang takbo ng buhay mo. Kaya ng
Diyos gawing maganda ang pangit na nangyayari sa buhay mo. Patuloy
ka lang maniwala at magtiwala sa Kanya.
Huwag kang mag-alala, isang araw, babalikan mo nalang ang mapait na
nangyari sa buhay mo na nakangiti dahil nakaahon ka na. AT IYON AY
DAHIL SA GRASYA NG PANGINOON.
HAVE A BLESSED SUNDAY TO ALL!
- Pastora Maria
