Ang Wais Na Kristiyano
(mula sa panulat at ibinahagi ni Leo Amores)
“You do not have, because you do not ask God. (And) when you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures. (James 4:2-3)
Minsa’y may isang wais na Kristiyanong nanalangin sa Panginoon.
Wais na Kristiyano: Lord marami pong salamat sa pagtugon sa aking mga panalangin. Mayroon lang po akong tanong. Ang isang bilyong taon po ba ay gaano katagal sa inyo?

Wais na Kristiyano: Lord marami pong salamat sa pagtugon sa aking mga panalangin. Mayroon lang po akong tanong. Ang isang bilyong taon po ba ay gaano katagal sa inyo?
Panginoon: Isang Minuto lang yan anak.
Wais na Kristiyano: Hmmmn..., eh yon naman pong one billion dollars, magkano sa inyo?
Panginoon: It is only "one penny".
Wais na Kristiyano: Excited (at tuwang-tuwa) sabay sabi ng “Lord pwede ko bang mahingi ang one penny nyo? Kahit “one penny” lang po”. (na katumbas ay one billion $)
Wais ang Kristyanong ito. But God knows his motive, kaya heto ang sagot ng Lord sa kanya…
Panginoon: Okay anak..., just wait a minute.
Panginoon: Okay anak..., just wait a minute.
Na ibig sabihin ng Diyos ay mag- antay ka ng isang bilyong taon.
Mas wais ang Panginoon. God cannot be mocked. Nothing impure can be hidden from His eyes.
Minsan (or gaano gadalas ba ang minsan, ika nga) ganito rin tayo manalangin o humingi kay Lord. Akala natin ay makakabuti para sa atin ang ating mga hinihingi at hinihiling, at gusto pa natin ay agad agad.
Kailangan natin na mag-antay. To wait upon the Lord sa kanyang sagot sa tamang panahon. Minsa’y sinagot na ng Panginoon ang ating panalangin, subalit antay pa rin tayo ng antay dahil di natin alam na ang sagot pala ng Lord ay “NO”. “NO” sa dahilang ikaw ay mapapahamak or malalayo sa Kanya kung ibibigay Niya ang iyong hiling.
Minsan nama’y “YES” or ka-agad-agad o instant ang sagot ng Lord dahil maganda ang motibo mo, at ito’y makapagdudulot ng kaluwalhatian sa Kanya.
So tandaan po natin ang ilang ways na tutugon ang Panginoon sa ating mga panalangin at hiling:
1. YES - because of good motives for His glory OR if you need it - not just wants.
2. NO - because it will lead us astray.
3. WAIT - because God knows the right time and we're not prepare yet to receive it.
Ikaw ba’y wais na Kristiyano? Wais sa paningin ng Diyos o wais sa panukat ng mundo?
Ito’y mababatid mo raw kung papaano ka manalangin sa Panginoon. Ikaw ba’y hiling lamang ng hiling o sinusuri mo muna ang puso mo? Kung ito ba’y may malinis na hangarin o pansarili lamang ang pakay?
Paka-isipin mo ito at siyasatin ang puso.
Isang Pagbubulay-bulay Araw-Araw.

A.C.T.S.
Adoration is to adore God, to worship him and to fulfil the commandment to love him with all of our heart, mind and soul. As we spend time in adoration, we praise God for who He is - our Creator, our Sustainer and our Redeemer. (more about praise and adoration.)
Confession allows us to clear away the things in the relationship between you and God which are displeasing to Him. All of us have sinned. St John writes in his epistle "If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." (I Jn 1:8,9) (more about confession.)
Thanksgiving. From childhood we are brought up to say "Thank You" when someone does something for us, or gives us a gift. Each moment God is blessing us, every minute we can recall the wonderful things that God has done for us, and the gifts that we have been given. And so, we need to be constantly thanking God for his blessings. In writing to Timothy, Paul makes it clear that we also need to be giving thanks for everyday, worldly things " I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone— for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness." 1 Tim 2:1. (more about thanksgiving.)
Supplication or Intercession. Finally we come to ask God for our needs and the needs of others. There are many demands on our prayer time - many topics and issues that we could pray for, so we need to choose, and to be specific. (more about topics to pray for)
Cont.
Pray for others. In the epistles of St Paul, we read of him praying for those he has led to faith, and asking them also to pray for him. So, you too can pray for other Christians, and encourage them to pray for you. Pray for your familiy members, and for neighbours and friends. It's also good to pray for those who don't know Jesus to come to faith - many Christians have come to believe in Christ through the prayers of others.
Pray for world issues : for peace in difficult situations, for leaders and those in influential positions, for global issues such as care of God's environment, justice for the poor, relief of suffering in less developed countries, and other issues that come to you.
Pray for your own needs too. It's easy to neglect this, but Jesus encourages us to do so in the Lord's Prayer - the model for prayer that He gave us.
