00:00One of my favorite verse in the Bible is this,

00:04Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.

00:09Hi, this is Brother RJ and welcome to our OBM of the Week.

00:14Don't lean on your own understanding.

00:17Bakit? Kasi pag may pagsubok na pumapasok o pagsubok na dumadating,

00:22anong first instinct?

00:23Ang first instinct natin, to rush with our own plan.

00:27Quick fix, band-aid solution.

00:30Pero, ang plano ni Lord, always better, even if it takes time.

00:36Parang yung kwento ni Moses, in Exodus chapter 2,

00:40Moses saw an Egyptian beating up a Hebrew, his own people.

00:46Sa dala ng kanyang emosyon, dala ng bugso ng damdamin, diba?

00:51Sa sobrang galit, anong ginawa niya?

00:53Pinatay niya yung Egyptian.

00:55Tapos tingin sa kaliwa, tingin sa kanan.

00:59Akala niya, wala nakakita anong ginawa niya.

01:01Nilibing niya.

01:02Diba? Binaon niya sa lupa.

01:04He wanted justice.

01:06And that's understandable.

01:08Bakit? Lahat naman tayo.

01:10Diba? We want justice to be served.

01:13Kaya lang, ito yung malaking kaya lang na nangyari kay Moses.

01:16Because of his impatience, it led to what?

01:20Another tragedy.

01:21Listen carefully, okay?

01:23Listen carefully.

01:23Because most people are like this.

01:26Maybe, baka ikaw din.

01:27Anong ginawa ni Moses?

01:29He tried to fix a wrong thing with another wrong.

01:35Diba? May pagkakamaling ginagawa.

01:37May pagkakamali siyang nakita.

01:38Anong ginawa niya?

01:39Gumawa din siya ng pagkakamali.

01:41Ano yung pagkakamali na yun?

01:42Pinatay niya.

01:43Yung gumagawa ng pagkakamali.

01:45And two wrongs will never, ever make it right.

01:51Katulad na lang sa math.

01:52Magkakaroon tayo ng konting math lesson.

01:54Negative 10 plus negative 10.

01:56It will never be positive 20.

01:59For a negative 10, to become a positive 10,

02:03you need to add what?

02:04A positive 20.

02:06What am I trying to say here?

02:07In the same way, in our lives,

02:10sa leadership, sa bahay, sa office,

02:13or mainly everywhere,

02:16listen carefully.

02:17You can't right a wrong with another wrong.

02:23You need a massive right.

02:25At si Lord lang ang makakapagbigay nun.

02:29Why am I sharing this with you?

02:31Baka si ikaw ngayon,

02:33diba,

02:33nakaharap ka sa mabigat na pagsubok.

02:37For example,

02:38a strained relationship,

02:40toxic workplace,

02:42financial burden,

02:44and may temptation.

02:45Kaliwat kanan,

02:46mandaya,

02:47magsinungaling,

02:48manloko,

02:50to take shortcuts.

02:51At feeling mo naman,

02:52uy,

02:54pwede ah.

02:55Ginagawa naman ng iba.

02:57Yan yung kadalasan na daylan eh.

02:59But here's the thing,

03:00shortcuts always cause more in the long run.

03:05God's solutions are never rush.

03:09They require patience,

03:10they require humility,

03:12and they require trust.

03:14He's more interested in your growth

03:17than in your speed

03:19because He's not just solving your problem.

03:22He's shaping your character.

03:47Let me give you three ways

03:48on how people approach problems.

03:51Sino ka kaya sa tatlo?

03:52Are you ready?

03:53Listen, okay?

03:54First,

03:55pride.

03:56I'll handle this myself.

03:59Ako na lang.

04:00Parang si Moses,

04:01diba?

04:02It was quick,

04:03forceful,

04:04but destructive.

04:07Second,

04:07passivity.

04:09I'll do nothing.

04:10I'll just let God do everything.

04:13Ito naman parang si Wang Tamad.

04:15Walang ginagawa.

04:16Nagiintay lang.

04:17Bumagsak.

04:18Puro excuses.

04:20Eh, kasi may ganito.

04:21Eh, kasi ganyan.

04:22Eh, ano eh?

04:23Diba?

04:23Madaming dahilan.

04:25Parang nagiging si Batman.

04:27Bat ako,

04:28bat ako,

04:28bat ako.

04:30Third,

04:30lastly,

04:32purpose.

04:33I'll trust God

04:34and act with integrity.

04:37Itong pangatlong,

04:38pangatlong way,

04:39this is praying,

04:40this is planning,

04:41and taking that

04:42next faithful step.

04:45Slowly,

04:47but surely.

04:48May ginagawa.

04:50Uma-action.

04:52My dear friends,

04:52God wants us

04:53to choose purpose.

04:57Yes,

04:57we believe,

04:59okay yun.

04:59We obey,

05:00tama yun.

05:01We trust.

05:02Pero hindi ibig sabihin nun,

05:05ito nga nga lang.

05:06Walang gagawin.

05:07We still need to give our best.

05:09We need to take action.

05:11Faith is not laziness.

05:15Pray.

05:16Tama yan.

05:17But after prayer,

05:18you also need to move.

05:21Act in trust.

05:22Sabi nga,

05:22diba,

05:23do your best

05:24and God will do the rest.

05:26You have to do something.

05:28For example,

05:30kunwari na lang,

05:30ito ah,

05:31napara ka ng police

05:33kasi meron kang violation

05:35o kaya napara ka ng MMDA.

05:39Imbisda.

05:41Yan,

05:41mga padulas-padulas

05:42kung tawagin,

05:44diba,

05:44pwede makiusap.

05:46Bigay mo yung lisensya mo.

05:47Diba,

05:48pwede makiusap.

05:49Ticket kung ticket.

05:51Ganun talaga eh.

05:52We have to face the consequences

05:53of our wrongdoing.

05:54Another example,

05:55instead of destroying relationship

05:57just to get ahead,

05:59ito yung mga gustong ma-promote,

06:00tatapakan kahit sino.

06:01How about building the character

06:04so that you may grow

06:05in the next opportunity?

06:07Instead na,

06:08pag-chismisan niyo

06:09yung mga toxic na core worker,

06:11how about choosing forgiveness?

06:13Let God deal with their heart.

06:16The world says fast is best,

06:18but God says faithfulness is better.

06:23Allow me to share with you

06:24another story in the Bible.

06:26In Genesis chapter 21,

06:29Hagar and her son

06:30were dying of thirst.

06:32Akala niya,

06:33wala na,

06:34end of the line,

06:35tapos na,

06:36dead balls na.

06:37Not until God

06:39opened her eyes

06:40to the well.

06:42Alam mo yung,

06:43yung balon,

06:44it was there all along.

06:47What am I trying to say here?

06:49Most of the time,

06:50my dear brothers and sisters,

06:51we are being blinded

06:52by our circumstances

06:54in life that we cannot see

06:56or we are not able to see

06:58that the solution in our problem

07:01is already in front of us.

07:05Maybe God is just simply

07:06waiting for you

07:08to open your eyes.

07:11So allow me to close

07:12by challenging you today.

07:14All of us have problems.

07:17Yes,

07:17all of us.

07:18And I pray,

07:19this is my prayer,

07:20that instead of just

07:21focusing on your problems,

07:24you have to acknowledge

07:25that you have a problem.

07:27And yes,

07:28you have a problem,

07:29but here's the thing,

07:30focus on the purpose

07:32of that problem.

07:34Don't be obsessed

07:35about the wall

07:37of the problem

07:37that you're facing.

07:39Focus on the dream

07:40that is behind it.

07:42And trust that God

07:44will guide you

07:45through that wall,

07:46over that wall,

07:48or around that wall

07:50or even under

07:51that wall

07:52if he has to.

07:54But always remember this,

07:57God is,

07:59was,

08:00and will never be late

08:01because God

08:03is always on time.

08:04His solutions

08:05are long term.

08:08It's about

08:09character building

08:10and also about

08:11life changing.

08:13So before we end,

08:14can we pray?

08:15In the name of the Father,

08:16the Son,

08:16the Holy Spirit.

08:18Amen.

08:19Father,

08:20thank you

08:21for being my provider

08:23and guide.

08:24Help me trust

08:25your timing,

08:27your wisdom,

08:28and your ways.

08:30Open my eyes

08:31to the solutions

08:32you've already prepared.

08:34Shape my character

08:35as you lead me

08:36into your perfect plan.

08:38All this we pray today

08:39in Jesus' mighty name.

08:41Amen.

08:42In the name of the Father,

08:42the Son,

08:43the Holy Spirit.

08:43Amen.

08:46So my dear friends,

08:47believe this,

08:48the well is closer

08:49than you think.

08:51So,

08:51don't lean on your own

08:53understanding.

08:54Why?

08:55Because God's solution

08:56is on the way

08:57right on time.

09:00Amen?

09:01God is in you.

09:02Continue shining His light

09:03because I know

09:04you are a blessing.

09:06God bless.

09:07See ya!
