The Beatitudes

The Beatitudes shared by Pastor Isaias (Boyet) T. Songcuan Jr. in English and Tagalog languages

My sharing to you today is found in Matthew 5 V 1 to 12. THE BEATITUDES. Beatitudes means= Blessedness of God, which also means ,to be Bless is.....To make Happy, and to be Blessed is ....To be happy The Beatitudes, teach us how to "Be Peace" , not just be at peace,.but..... to become peace, so that- peace can spread, para kumalat ang kapayapaan. And peace can come from " Rooted" o may naka ugat both in God and in the physical world. Please read your bible in verse 3 = What Jesus meant here = It's simply this; " We must be humble in spirit", in other words , when we come to God, We must realize our own sin and our spiritual emptiness,and spiritual poverty. And We must not be " Self-Satisfied" or proud in our hearts, thinking we dont really need God, if we are, God cannot Bless us In James 4: V 6= God opposes the proud , but gives grace to the humble. In Luke 6: 20 (please read your bible = look closely,that there is no words here on this verse "POOR IN SPIRIT" = this verse is parallel in Matthew 5: V3. And this sermon of Luke is much shorter than the one in the in Matthew 5: V 3 , it also goes deeper than " Material Poverty" and Physical Hunger. Let's continue in Matthew 5: 3 = Poor in spirit, it's the kind of sorrow God wants us to experienced , leads us away from sin, and result in salvation . There is no regret for that kind of sorrow..... But "Worldly Sorrow" which lacks repentance o pagsisisi,will result in " Spuritual Death", 2 Corinthians 7: V 10 True sorrow will lead to Joy, because you see your "True " state" ,decide to do something about it, and repent, But without that sorrow( spiritually) there will be no Joy, The kingdom of God is not something earned, it is more a gift than "Recompense" o kabayaran. In verse 4( please read your bible) = "Greived" namimighati o nag dadalamhati ,because of "Personal sinfulness" , What the Holy Spirit will do for those who properly evaluate their spiritual poverty. In verse,5 ( please read your bible) = "Meek" o maamo, this is the opposite o kabaligtaran of "Self - Righteousness" the first two( 2) beatitudes guarantee the meekness. Psalms 37 : V 11 = it refers not so much to an attitude o pag tingin toward people as to a disposition before God ,namely "Humility". And the word "EARTH" on this verse; =The new Promised Land. Revelation 21:V 1. In verse 6( please read your bible) = The desire of God's righteousness, imputed by Christ upon faith in His "Finnished" work ( John 19 : V 30) This declaration means that our Healing, Deliverance, Prosperity,Victory, Joy, Peace, and everything else we need in life is " Already Finnished", and ready for us to...."CLAIM". But first of all, We must be truly empty of all " Self- Worth,o may mahalaga sa sarili. In verse 7( please read your bible)= On this verse, Shows itself in action- which goes beyond the thought , we have to obtain mercy from the Lord, and We must "Show Mercy " to others. In verse 8( please read your bible)= Not in the Head; For men lalong lalo na sa mga kalalakihan, ( Hindi po lahat) They may have pure notions and impure hearts , not in the hands, waka sa mga kamay, or action ( kilos) or in outward( panlabas) conversation only, We dont like ourselves to be like the Pharisees in Matthew 23: V 27, Ang Gusto ng Panginoon ang ating mga Puso ay Dalisay. The Heart of men is naturally unclean, or to be pure,from his sin, though they have sin dwelling in them, are "Justified " from from all sin by the " Righteousness of Christ",whose iniquities are all of them " Forgiven",and whose heart are sprinkled with the blood of Jesus which cleanses from all sins. Heart is the center of one's being o pag katao , including the mind, will, and emotion ( Psalms 4: V 7 ) Con't.. "FOR THEY SHALL SEE GOD"= will see Him ( Jesus) manifest o,mahayag in one's life. In verse 9( please read your bible)= "Peacemaker", meaning; a person who brings peace specially in reconciling adversaries, pag ka sunduin ang nag laway, yung iba hindi, sadyang pi nag aaway, sometimes to gain their personal interest o para lang mag ka saktan. Lalo na sa tsismis, eto ang tumatawag kong "Dagdag- bawas", may bawas yung history, at lalo niya itong dadag dagan ,o I sensationalize yung istorya, Tiga gatong, gagatungan niya etong isa hanggang mag mukhang hilabos na hipon ang itsura ,hanggang sumiklab sa galit . Imbes na peacemaker ang papel, wala,troublemaker, promoter, and instigator ang papel. Peacemakers are those who promote peace ( Romans 12: V 18) The believer has no control over the conduct of another. But the idea is that, the initiative o pa ngunguna in disturbing the peace is never to lie,.in doing so...They reflect the character of our Heavenly Father,and so are called " SONS OF GOD". In verse 10( please read your bible) means ; those who operate from the realms of Self- Righteousness, will Persecute.....

Those who trust in God's righteousness . Hindi ba ninyo napapansin, may mga taong ganyan sa mga paligid natin, most specially in some churches . Having God's righteousness which "Solely"in Christ,Have the kingdom of Heaven. In verse 11( read your bible) = Only Christ could say; FOR MY SAKE , for He is God, there is an " offence" to the cross.( Galatians 5: V 11) Any message other than the cross where Jesus was crucified draws "Little Opposition" o kaunting pag salungat, The cross "Offends " the world and most of the church. So if the Preacher " ceases" o tumigil to preach the cross, as the only way of salvation and victory, then the opposition o pag tutol, and persecution ( pag uusig) will cease. But in verse 12( read your bible) = " REJOICE AND BE GLAD" ( 1 Peter 4 : V 13) Rejoice despite the trials , we participate in Christ suffering , suffering for Righteousness sake . REJOICE = Is the inner result of one who is " BLESSED" ( mapalad) Self- Righteousness persecuting Righteousness is the Guarantee of possession of Righteousness and the occasion of Great Joy. "YOUR GREAT REWARD IN HEAVEN" = meaning; it will not necessarily come while we are on earth, doon sa langit ibibigay yung ating reward o Gantimpala. Hindi dito sa lupa , Those Prophets who were persecuted before, some were murdered, killed, have already recieved their own reward . AND SO ARE WE.....
