How God Leads You Through Lack With Faith and Generosity

Welcome Just hand Away Tagalog Sermon podcast. You're daily Joseph

inspiring from heartfelt taglog sermons from different pasters and speakers

all over the Philippines. We hope that this podcast finds

you in good shape. And now here's your message. We

are in a crisis, whether we like it or not.

We are in a crisis. But crisis can either bring

clarity or confusion. Dolman go in a crisis at in

Either it brings clarity, Wow, important is abou hide? Or

for some it brings a lot of confusion that heals

a fear, that's anxiety, no going next. But for them,

I am in the dark and I don't know what

to do. But for people who have a different eyes,

they see the crisis and see that Wow, now I

know what is truly essential in life. The Bana and

you know lockdown and announced meent grocery, drug store, online,

e commerce store, essential slam po and that's a key

word we all need to embrace on that Mero Maga essentials.

There are things that are very essential only and I

think this is what has been brought to life in

the essentials are very important dim Ink. Prior to the

lockdown so the crisis can either bring clarity to you

or bring confusion. It can bring clarity to your faith, Josh,

or it has brought confusion. You ask questions, make God pandemic? Right?

And and so what is the effect of the crisis

to you? And that's what we want to look today.

It's either you are clear or you're confused. Clarity means

you see what truly matters. Now we spend time with

their family twenty four seven. Grab means is more so

come prior to lockdown and the marriage. Using shahayan dal,

you're forced to. But for people who have fixed their

marriage and have a strong marriage, what happens the lockdown

is such a good time to spend with family that close.

That is a It brings more clarity now woa no.

Next is either it brings confusion because we cannot see

clearly because of fear and anxiety and passar I call

some people up and most of them, some of them worry,

some of them they have a lot of fear. Change

with this new normal that people are talking about online

dima online or we've got to learn how to change

and how to pivot. So I have five non negotiables

and how we can thrive and succeed. Number one, how

can we overcome? The first is sacrifice. Sacrifice, whether we

like it or not, La special la tainama. And therefore

we are called to sacrifice. When I learned of this

and I and I see no Matta and Pusa Greenhiels,

Siandel Jongson economists, I knew it already. The writing was

on the wall. This is going to hit all of us.

And so the first thing that came to my is

this word sacrifice. My family meeting Kameha who's now fourteen

and twelve years old, you will now for the first

time in your life experience a crisis, right, young Asian crisis,

brown out time, Pani ramos so brown out. And now

I said to my kids, now you will experience this.

How you would respond to this crisis is very critical.

And I told them we have to start sacrificing. Maramika

maga baga in aago and you that in a behinding

in a pudding. Right I you nothing and so new

airport box and sacrifice, no sacrifice. You budget nothing and

pa gay in the budget nothing and gastus. We need

to sacrifice. We will go down a bit in our lifestyle.

You know and as we make those sacrifices see massardinas

ar rau and seam playing in lang is a no.

And so these sacrifices are very important. Why because it

affects all of us. You effect coronaviruspinus. They're saying is

that there will be a two percent fall in our economy.

No outlook, when this is done, there would be a

six point five increase. Now now again all of these

are speculations malaalamano. But with the study of economies, they're

saying all of us will be affected. And that's why

sacrifice is very very important. Confront you brutal facts, no problem,

christianel in the nail palagi wiring in by faith. Confront

the brutal fact. Now it's the same way with your money.

It's the same way with our lives. It's the same

way with our family economics. You have to confront the

brutal facts. Katima sacrifice atma dibd k. You know, we

will feel a little pain. Some of us we already

have manga katzal salary. Some of you you don't know

if next week you'll have a job. And so we're

now preparing because this will take a lot of sacrifice.

You need to have strong faith yet confront facts of

your current reality. David Israel the giant Perro. David I response,

Bong is a light army. Both confronted the brutal fact.

But then it was not just enough to confront the

brutal fact. We need to do something about those facts

that we have. So number one is sacrifice. Number two

that we need to do is we need to simplify. No.

One of my favorite saying is accur wage per COVID

nineteen edition T don't just accurate wage, act below your

wage simply and DAPA simply and preach. No. I am

I'm a very I'm an evangelist of simple living. I

want people to live simple lives and I want them

to embrace simplicity simply campus missionary bajo and also a

mcbini stleet partnership and so limited income. But then we've

learned how to simplify our lives. No, uh, they don't. Lang.

I I land in shaping in hag Wo shopping land.

We've simplified. And as I grow older and as my

wife now has her own job, now we've we've No,

we did not increase our standard of living. We've learned

how to simplify para kaite simply in masa simply simply

right in ma labas like invest my garden right young

young plants, mamating herbs, comidito and it's a simple life. No,

you don't have to always eat out out. So it

was I know like it's strug but remember this. You

have to learn how to simplify. No act your wage,

go below that swell door and simplify your life. Seen

you in Miyama and sen in my head up and

Diman Chinese? Who Chinese? Seeing Apple and haam and am

in India Tago T shirt and no Para millionaire pan

branded shirt brandedos branded Para branded Why because they they

thought that komer image mustata valu uh and maham and

alamnila simply right yo Mayama. Because they've learned how to

simplify their life. So this is a challenge for everyone,

not only sacrifice, but learn how to simplify. Third is

to save. It's funny because Marami feeling nothing nating going

on to la karina Ymaha, new skills, Sabi grocery, yungiba,

accounted bank exercise. Those are not new skills. Those are disciplines,

not that we do when we exercise or we eat right,

those are disciplined. It's not a skill. It's the same

way with finance. No uh AMaGA discipline and adapat meron tayo. Now, okay,

you know, I challenge you to start saving up tayo

mascon and of course the mede the new income. But

at the same time, sanna save sabe tabil nat right,

look at the ants a bible, you lazy, you lazy person,

See how they gather food during harvest, so that in

times of lack made a guy in pusi la. This

is what's saving does Saving means meronajon discipline prior to

all this and now I am then fitting from my savings.

No so samagatapum my savings, Samagata chinkya preaching samaga seminar

as a church on how to save at now you're

experiencing the benefit of the savings para samagata Hindi say, okay,

is that Jesus saves. And you know, my challenge for

you is that you have to learn how to start saving. Now.

There's five simple steps to achieve financial freedom at the

galling Celebruni Randel Tiongson who's also part of our church

in Green Hills. Step number one, no, so my laddan

cash flow online yomaga nesha. That's learning how to improve

cash flow. Second is, as cash flow comes in, you

have to get out of debt as an rest learn

how to get out of that. Start paying off your debt.

No no use this opportunity. Opportunity leverage on the season

of debt. Now. As you get out of that, you

have to build an emergency fun to put your importante

emergency fund three to six months living expenses. So because

of the emergency plan and pamilia instead of moving in

anxiety and fear, margin in mamilis as a god savings margins.

So you have to start building your emergency fund. Now

that and build an emergency fan. Fourth is what we

see that has happened in the past few months. Important

towards Let's confront the storm, and so they run to

the storm because in their minds, if we stick together

and run to the storm, yes, we will experience the

pain like the cows. Yet the pain will be bearable

and much less. Why because we've confronted the problem. Brothers

and sisters in the Lord, I encourage you today, let

the spirit of faith arise in you. We cannot move

in the spirit of fear. We have to stick together

now as a community, and I'm thankful for victory for

this very strong community that we have back at Saba
