Isang Pangarap: Pasaganahin ang Mundo, Puksain ang Kahirapan

by Leave a Comment

ENGLISH Version (Click Here)
“Ang edukasyon ang pinakamalakas na sandatang pwede mong gamitin para baguhin ang mundo.”
– Nelson Mandela

6pm o 7pm na kapag papauwi ako mula sa trabaho. Sa paglakad pauwi, napapadaan ako sa isang overpass na dinadaanan ng maraming tao.

Doon sa lapag, nakikita ko siya ilang beses kada linggo. Nakaupo sa daan, ang kaniyang mga binti ay nakatupi at nakatago sa maruming damit. Ang kaniyang balat ay marungis, buhok niya’y kulot at mahaba na sa kawalang-alaga, at ang kaniyang mukha ay hindi umiimik. Sa kamay niya ay may maruming plastic na baso, gamit na at itinapon ng iba, at palagi niya itong inaabot sa mga dumadaan. Tahimik lang siyang nanlilimos.

Naghuhulog ako ng limang-piso habang naglalakad pauwi.

Kada-linggo ilang beses ko siyang nakikita sa parehong lugar, parehong damit, at ganoon pa rin ang ginagawa. At naghuhulog uli ako ng limang-piso.

Linggo-linggo nakakakuha siya ng barya mula sa mga naglalakad. Linggo-linggo andoon lang siya. Magkano pa kaya ang kailangan nating ibigay para makabili siya ng maayos na damit? Magkano para makabili siya ng maayos na bahay? Magkano para makabili ng mabuting kabuhayan?

Tatlong Bersikulo sa Biblia Tungkol sa Pagsisikap at Pagpapayaman

by 1 Comment

ENGLISH Version (Click Here)
“Ang nakakagulat na katotohanan tungkol sa kasaganaan ay tamang maging mayaman at hindi mahirap ang buhay mo!… Alalahanin mo na ang salitang “mayaman” ay tungkol sa pagkakaroon ng maraming mabuting bagay, o mabuhay ng mas-masagana’t mas-masaya. Mayaman ka sa kalidad ng kapayapaan, kalusugan, kasiyahan at kasaganaan sa iyong mundo. Maraming marangal na paraan para makamit ang layuning iyon. Mas-madali itong makamit kaysa sa inaakala mo ngayon. Iyon din ang isa pang nakakagulat na katotohanan tungkol sa kasaganaan.”
– Catherine Ponder, The Dynamic Laws of Prosperity

Isa sa pinakamasamang mga opinion sa buong mundo ang pagaakala na masama ang pagiging mayaman o pagkakaroon ng maraming pera.

Kung mabuti kang tao at nagsisikap ka sa paggawa ng nakabubuting bagay, bibiyayaan ka ba ng kahirapan at pagdurusa? Siyempre hindi! Kung ang ginagawa o nililikha mo ay mahalaga, marami ang magbabayad sa iyo para ginagawa mong iyon. Kapag mas-marami ang kabutihang ginagawa mo gaya ng pagpapagaling sa mga may sakit at nagliligtas ng buhay bilang isang surgeon o doktor, nagaarkila ng mga trabahador para magtayo ng mga bahay para sa ilang-daang pamilya, magluto at pakainin ang libo-libong pamilya sa bansa gamit ang iyong restaurant franchise, atbp., mas-maraming yaman ang ibibiyaya sa iyo.

Ang pag-aakala na masama ang pera ay nanggaling sa maling pagkakaintindi sa 1 Timoteo 6:10. Hindi nito sinabing masama ang pera, kayamanan, o paghangad sa mas-mabuting buhay; sinabi lang nito na ang masyadong pagpapahalaga o “pagmamahal” sa pera ang ugat ng kasamaan. Maraming bersikulo sa biblia ang tungkol sa pagkamit ng kayamanan (espiritual at pisikal) bilang biyaya ng Diyos, at sa isinulat kong ito ipapahayag sa iyo ang aking tatlong paborito. Ang unang dalawang bersikulo ay nagmula kay Haring Solomon at ang ikatlo ay nagmula kay Hesus, ayon sa ebanghelyo ni Matteo.

Ang Unang Bersikulo:
“Ang kayamanan ng mayaman ang kaniyang katibayan; ang kahirapan ng mahihirap ang kanilang ikasisira.”
– Kawikaan/Proverbs 10:15 (Isinalin mula sa ESV)

Ito ay labag sa maling pagiisip na “mabuti ang maghirap at masama ang maging mayaman.”

Three Bible Verses for Earning Wealth

by 1 Comment

TAGALOG Version (Click Here)
“The shocking truth about prosperity is that it is shockingly right instead of shockingly wrong for you to be prosperous! … Please note that the word ‘rich’ means having an abundance of good or living a fuller, more satisfying life. Indeed, you are prosperous to the degree that you are experiencing peace, health, happiness and plenty in your world. There are honorable methods that can carry you quickly toward that goal. It is easier to accomplish than you may now think. That, too, is the shocking truth about prosperity.”
– Catherine Ponder, The Dynamic Laws of Prosperity

 

One of the absolute worst ideas in the world is the belief that being rich or having money is evil.

If you’re a good person and you work hard to create things that help others, will you be rewarded with poverty and suffering? Of course not! If what you do or create is valuable, people will pay you money for it. The more good that you do like heal people and save lives as a surgeon, hire workers to build homes for a hundred families, cook and feed thousands of families all over the country through your restaurant franchise, etc., the more wealth you will earn.

Thinking that money is evil comes from misunderstanding 1 Timothy 6:10. It never said that money, wealth, or desiring a better life is is evil; it only said the “love of money” is the root of evil. Many verses in the bible actually talk about attaining wealth (both physical and spiritual) as God’s blessings, and in this article I’ll tell you about my three favorites. The first two verses, by the way, are from the wise King Solomon, and the third is from Jesus himself, as written in Matthew’s gospel.

 

The First Verse:
“The rich man’s wealth is his strong city; the poverty of the poor is their ruin.”
– Proverbs 10:15 (ESV)

This one runs against the whole “being poor is good and being rich is bad” belief.

The Tale of Two Brothers: Their Thoughts and Their Destinies

by Leave a Comment

“Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t–you’re right.”

– Henry Ford

Once upon a time, there lived a pair of twins from the Pa family. The stronger, smarter, and taller twin was named Tallo, while the other was named Nallo.

When they were little children, their mother once brought home a bag of cookies for them to eat. She placed the bag on a cabinet high up on the wall before leaving for work as she forgot that the two children couldn’t reach it.

Although Tallo was taller and stronger, no matter how hard he jumped, he couldn’t reach the cookies. He stopped trying and thought to himself: “No matter how hard I try, it’s useless. I CAN’T do anything.”

Nallo tried jumping for it too, but he also couldn’t reach it. Thinking of how he can reach the cookies, he saw the dining chair and a broom in their kitchen. He climbed on top of the chair and clumsily used the broom handle to try and reach the cookies. Although he failed a lot at first, after trying for 20 minutes, he eventually got the cookies and shared it with his brother. Nallo thought to himself: “I CAN do anything if I find out how to do it.”

 

As they grew older, Nallo and Tallo both went to the same school in their village. Tallo was smart enough to get good grades, but since he couldn’t get perfect scores, he stopped trying. Nallo had a hard time learning and failed the first few of his tests.

Achieving Your Goals: The VERY FIRST THING You Need to Know

by Leave a Comment

“The indispensable first step to getting the things you want out of life is this; decide what you want.”
– Ben Stein

Long ago in a distant province there lived a poor little girl and her family. Due to poverty, they barely had enough money to buy food and they sometimes ate just rice and bagoong (shrimp paste) or salt for dinner. While her mother and father were barely able to send her three brothers, they wouldn’t pay her tuition.  Everyone thought that she should just find work as a labandera (a local laundry girl) in their village to earn extra money, get married, and live there for the rest of her life.

The little girl hated that idea.

She didn’t want to live in poverty, she didn’t want her life to amount to nothing more than washing laundry for a few piddling coins, and more importantly, she didn’t want her future children to experience the same hardships that she did.
