HINDI PWEDENG "LET'S PRAY LANG, HUWAG UMANGAL AT MAG-POINT OUT NG MALI" KASI MAY COMMAND ๐ง๐ข ๐ฆ๐ฃ๐๐๐ ๐๐ข๐ฅ ๐ง๐๐ ๐ข๐ฃ๐ฃ๐ฅ๐๐ฆ๐ฆ๐๐ AT THE SAME TIME SI LORD
By Maria Lourdes Sereno
Marami tayong naririnig na: “Huwag nang umangal, let’s pray na lang.” Obvious po na incompatible ito sa pagpapakilala ni Jesus kung sino Siya, ang bondage-breaker who has come to free people from oppression.
Powerful po ang self-described mission ni Jesus sa Luke 4:18-19:
โThe Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.โ
Taliwas rin ito sa command sa mga followers of Yahweh na: “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy.” -Proverbs 31:8-9
Tapos equated pa ang doing good sa seeking justice and rebuking the oppressor sa Isaiah 1:17: “Learn to do good; Seek justice, Rebuke the oppressor; Defend the fatherless; Plead for the widow.”
Ang linaw, ano?
Saan nanggagaling ang kalituhan ng mga Kristiyano?
- Kasi may mga nag-aakala na ang “complaining against an oppressive government official” ay pareho ng pagkakaroon ng complaining spirit. Magkaibang-magkaiba po iyun. ๐๐ป๐ด ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ด-๐ฐ๐ผ๐บ๐ฝ๐น๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป ๐ฎ๐ด๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป๐๐ ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐๐๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ฝ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ฏ๐ ๐ด๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ป๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐ ๐ผ๐ณ๐ณ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฎ๐น๐ ๐ถ๐ ๐ฎ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ๐บ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฏ๐๐ธ๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ด๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป๐๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ฝ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐๐ผ๐ฟ ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ฐ๐ต ๐ถ๐ ๐ฎ๐ป ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ท๐๐๐๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ด๐ผ๐ผ๐ฑ๐ป๐ฒ๐๐. Ang complaining spirit is the loveless, self-centered way in which people do their duties (Philippians 2:14-15). Malayo po yun.
- Yung katagang PRAY NA LANG in the face of injustice and where the law gives us the right to take action ay parang salita ng taong hindi nakatuntong sa lupa. Tao, at hindi angels ang kailangang gumawa ng affidavit of complaint to start the wheels of justice rolling. Di ba the scriptures give us a sound mind? ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ฑ๐ถ ๐ด๐ฎ๐๐ฎ ๐ป๐ด ๐บ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ผ๐ป๐ด ๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ฝ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ด ๐บ๐ฎ๐ด-๐ฒ๐ ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ ๐ป๐ฎ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ผ ๐ฎ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ป๐ด๐ฎ๐ป๐ด๐ฎ ๐ป๐ฎ ๐น๐ฎ๐ป๐ด ๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐น๐ฎ๐ป๐ด ๐ด๐ฎ๐ด๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฝ๐ ๐๐ผ ๐ฏ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐ผ๐๐ ๐ด๐ผ๐ผ๐ฑ. Ayan, binigyan tayo ng full capacity ng Konstitusyon at batas upang pigilan ang mga mapang-abuso. Kung hindi natin ito gagamitin, parang itinapon na rin nating mga Kristyano ang “talent o gift” na ibinigay sa atin ni Lord to do good.
