Colossians 4:6

Be pleasant and hold their interest when you speak the message. Choose your words carefully and be ready to give answers to anyone who asks questions.

Tactless people usually present the ugly, the painful, the unpalatable, and the unkind side of an issue. Bibihirang bagay sa mundo yung isang punto lang. Maraming anggulo, mukha at hugis, pero pag dumaan sa bibig ng intrigero, yung pangit lang ang ilalabas nya. Nasa korte yan ng pananalita e.

Kung may dalawang panig na nagkakagalit, dapat na ginagandahan ang pagbibitaw ng salita para hindi lumala ang pagkakagalit. Tuwing magsasalita tayo, may nagkagulo ba o nagkabati, may nagkasundo ba o nag-away? Mananagot ang namamagitan kaya dapat na nag-iingat. Do not provoke anger. Do not create troubles with your choice of words or with your lack of good choice.

Halimbawa sa church, may isang sister na hindi na kumakanta sa choir. Lalapitan mo, “Tinanggal ka raw sa choir?” Di ba, tactless? Puede mo namang sabihing, “Nagpapahinga ka yata ngayon.” Medyo neutral. Kung gusto nyang sabihin ang niloloob nya, puede. Kung ayaw nyang pag-usapan, “Oo nga,” tapos na ang kwento. Pero uuriratin mo pa, “Bakit ka ba nagpapahinga?” Hindi ka pa nakuntento, “Ang balita namin, tinanggal ka raw.”

But hearers must also filter what they listen to. Hindi dapat basta-basta nagpapadala sa mga naririnig ninyo. Test the motives of the speakers and imagine what they may have in mind. Kung matinong tao kaya at hindi intrigero ang kausap ko, paano nya ito bibitawan? Ginagalit ba nya ako, iniinis o talaga lang napakamangmang nya? Sa ganun, hindi tayo papatol at papayag na maapektuhan ng kanilang mga intriga.

TALO ANG MAYABANG

Proverbs 21:24

If you are proud and conceited, everyone will say, “You’re a snob!”

Pride can take the shape of self-importance. Yung gusto mong lagi kang bida, nire-recognize, kinikilala. Pride seeks captives. Dahil ang tingin mo lang sa mga tao ay mababa sa iyo. “Kaya ko ang mga yan. Kontrolado ko sila.” Pride does not admit errors and shortcomings. It is hypersensitive. Yung mga taong sobrang manipis, maramdamin at matatampuhin, actually mga proud yun.

We’ve got to be ignorant to be proud. Kasi kung totoong bukas ang ating isip at matalino tayo, matatanggap nating hindi naman talaga tayo importante. Matatanggap nating hindi tayo magaling. Matatanggap natin na lahat ng pinupuri ng mga tao tungkol sa atin ay hindi totoo. Dahil sino nga ba tayo? Yung mga taong nagpapakatotoo at kilala ang kanilang sarili, yun ang humble. Kasi alam nilang they cannot be great by themselves. Yung mga nagtatagumpay sa negosyo o career and therefore yumaman, sumikat at nagkaroon ng kapangyarihan, alam nilang naabot lamang nila yun dahil may nagbigay, may tumulong, may nagbukas ng pinto para sa kanila. Kaya yung mga taong mayayabang ay mga ligaw. Hindi nila kilala kung sino sila. Talino lang ba ang nagbibigay ng tagumpay? May mga taong matatalino pero wala namang nangyari sa kanila. At marami rin namang hindi matalinong tao pero nagtagumpay. Kasi may mga tumulong.

Pride loses. Lahat ng ginagawa ng mga taong proud para magmukha silang victorious at bida, lalo silang bumababa. Kasi wala naman talagang taong nai-in love sa mga proud people. At wala naman talagang taong humahanga sa proud people. Kaya kung ayaw nating maging talunan, iwasan nating maging mayabang.

Psalm 12:2-3

Everyone tells lies, and no one is sincere. Won’t you chop off all flattering tongues that brag so loudly?  

    One of the sins we commit against our fellowmen is the sin of deception. At kasama rin dito ang sin of flattery, o yung pambobola at pang-uuto. Sweet talk, smooth talk. Why do we do this? Because we want that person’s favor or affection. Mayroon tayong gustong mahuthot sa isang tao kaya natin binobola. Hindi marapat na ito ay ginagawa ng mga anak ng Dios. Dapat pa ngang tabtabin, tabasin at putulin ng Dios ang mga nguso at mga dila ng mga mahihilig mambola. Isang napakalaki naman sigurong kasinungalingan na makakita ka ng isang pagkataba-tabang tao at sasabihin mo, “Ang slim mo naman!” Para ano? Para pasayahin siya sa isang kasinungalingan dahil mayroon kang gustong hingin sa kanyang pabor? Alam nyo ba na yung taong tumatanggap ng papuri kahit hindi kapuri-puri ay pinaniniwalaan na rin ang kasinungalingan dahil sa dalas nyang nadirinig? Kaya ang mga taong ganito ay hindi grounded. Nakaangat ang paa sa lupa at nabubuhay sa kasinungalingan. Magandang tulong ba ito sa mga tao?

    Sabi nga nga isang kanta, “I’d rather hurt you honestly than mislead you with a lie.” E minsan, tayo mismo ayaw natin ng honesty. Nagtanong ka, “Bagay ba sa akin ito?” at kapag sinagot kang, “Hindi,” nao-offend ka. Gusto pa ba nating makarinig ng pambobola? Parurusahan mo ba yung tao sa kanyang pagiging totoo? We must appreciate people who are nicely honest to us.

AVOID “UN-GOOD” COMPANY

Psalm 1:1

God blesses those people who refuse evil advice and won’t follow sinners or join in sneering at God.

Sa mga kabataan o sa mga nagbabata-bataan: Huwag kayong sasali sa mga tropa-tropa na walang iniisip kundi mga kabalbalan. Yung walang magawa, mambubugbog at mang-iinis. Maraming ganyan kaya may napapatay. Dadaan ka sa naglalasingan, iinisin ka ng mga lasing at mapapaaway ka.

Kahit wala kang maraming pera, mayroon ka pang karamdaman o ibang problema, yung hindi ka lang sumasama sa mga masasamang barkada, isang blessing na yun. Lalo kang mapapahamak at mapapalala ang kalagayan kung nakiki-sama sa ganitong mga tao.

Kung minsan dapat ding pagsabihan yung tatay. Maraming tatay, may asawa’t anak na, barkadero pa! Akala mo binata pa. Laging kasama ang barkada at umiimbento ng mga kabalbalan sa buhay. Minsan hindi naman talaga gustong manukso, pero nadala ka nung gustong manukso. Napasama, nasangkot, nadamay, kaya na-damage na rin. Sasabihin ng nanay ng nadawit, “Mabait naman ang anak ko. Na-influence lang ng iba.” May nanay din yung ibang iyon na magsasabing, “Mabait naman yung anak ko. Na-influence lang ng iba.”

Stay away from “un-good” company. Hindi na natin sinabing bad kasi hindi naman laging bad. Yun lang “un-good” ang dapat mong iwasan. “Do not be misled: ‘Bad company corrupts good character’” (1 Corinthians 15:33). Kasi kung minsan, may sarili tayong un-goodness. Pag ang kasama mo pa un-good din, lumalala yun. Pero kung may un-good character ka at ang kasama mo ay good, nadadala ka na rin sa good. Kaya dapat pinipili ang kaibigan at kasama.

WHATEVER IT TAKES

Matthew 9:18

A ruler came and knelt before him and said, “My daughter has just died. But come and put your hand on her, and she will live.”

Many people lose not because they’re losers but because their fathers or mothers or benefactors are. Lahat tayo may umaasa sa atin pero kung papatay-patay tayo, talo yung mga umaasa sa atin. Enrolment ng anak mo pero kapos ka. Puede mo namang kapalan yung mukha mo at mangutang. Yung mga mahiyaing magulang hindi nakaka-enrol ang anak. Si Jairus, patay na yung anak ngunit lumapit pa rin siya kay Hesus. Sinabihan siyang, “Huwag nyong abalahin ang Panginoon. Patay na e.” Pumunta pa rin si Hesus at nabuhay yung anak. Talo ka pag yung tatay mo madaling mag-give up. Kaya, mga tatay, nanay, kuya, ate, kasintahan, asawa, may pananagutan kayo sa mga umaasa sa inyo. Kailangan matibay kayo.

Consider the Canaanite woman na demon-possessed yung anak at humingi ng tulong kay Hesus. Sabi ni Hesus, “Hindi ka naman Hudio e. Hindi ibinibigay ang mga blessing ng Dios sa aso.” Sumagot yung babae, “Kahit naman ho aso nakakapulut-pulot ng mga nalalaglag. Yun na lang ang ilaglag ninyo sa akin. Kawawa naman ang anak ko.” Humanga si Hesus at nagsabi, “Umuwi ka na, magaling na yung anak mo.” Hindi siya nagpakanipis o nagpaka-sensitive. Mission nya kasing kunin yung blessing. Whatever it takes, gagawin nya. Hindi siya uuwi na empty-handed.

Ilagay natin ang ating puso sa tamang lugar at tatanggapin natin yun kung tayo ay may pananalig. Huwag mag-alinlangan o magduda sapagkat ang nag-aalinlangan ay walang dapat asahang tatanggapin sa Dios. Get the blessings from the Lord.
