5. Stewardship: Motives of the Heart
Our Goal
These lessons are geared to teach us what our responsibilities as stewards are, and how we can, through God’s grace, fulfill those responsibilities—not as a means of trying to earn salvation but as the fruit of already having it.
Ang Ating Mithiin. Ang mga liksyong ito'y iniuukol para turuan tayo kung ano ang ating mga pananagutan bilang mga katiwala at paano natin, sa biyaya ng Diyos, matutupad ang mga pananagutang ito, hindi bilang isang paraan na makamit ang kaligtasan kundi bilang bunga ng pagkakaron na nito.

6. God or Mammon? Stewardship: Motives of the Heart Lesson 3, January 20
Diyos o Kayamanan?

7. God or Mammon?
Key Text
Philippians 2:9-11, NKJV
“Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those
in heaven, and of those on earth, and of under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the Glory of God the Father.”
Susing Talata. “Kaya siya naman ay itinaas ng Diyos, at siya’y binigyan ng pangalan; upang sa pangalan ni Jesus ay lumuhod ang bawat tuhod, sa langit at sa lupa, at sa ilalim ng lupa, at ipahayag ng bawat dila na si Jesu-Cristo ay Panginoon, sa ikaluluwalhati ng Diyos Ama” (Filipos 2:9-11).

8. God or Mammon?
Initial Words
It’s God or mammon. We have to make a choice, and the longer we hesitate, make excuses, or procrastinate, the stronger the hold that money and the love of money
will exert on our soul.
What should make our decision easier is focusing on who God is, what He has done for us, and what we owe Him.
Panimulang Salita. Ito'y ang Diyos o kayamanan. Kelangang pumili tayo, at habang tayo'y tumatagal na nag-aatubili, nagdadahilan, o nagpapaliban, mas malakas ang kapit sa ating kaluluwa ng pera at ng pag-ibig sa pera. ¶ Ang magpapadali ng ating desisyon ay ang pagpokus sa kung sino ang Diyos, anong ginawa Niya para sa atin, at anong utang natin sa Kanya.

God or Mammon?
Quick Look

2. Ownership Through Redemption (Colossians 1:13, 14)
3. Ownership of All (Deuteronomy 10:14)
1. Pagmamay-ari sa Pamamagitan ng Paglalang (Awit 33:6-9)
2. Pagmamay-ari sa Pamamagitan ng Pagtubos (Colosas 1:13, 14)
3. Pagmamay-ari ng Lahat (Deuteronomio 10:14)

10. For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast.”
God or Mammon?
1. Ownership Through Creation
Psalm 33:6-9 NKJV
“By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, and all the host of them by the breath of His mouth. ...
Let all the earth fear the Lord; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.
For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast.”
1. Pagmamay-ari sa Pamamamgitan ng Paglalang. “Sa pamamagitan ng salita ng Panginoon ay ginawa ang mga langit; at lahat ng mga hukbo niya sa pamamagitan ng hininga ng kanyang bibig. ... Matakot nawa sa Panginoon ang sandaigdigan, magsitayo nawang may paggalang sa kanya ang lahat ng naninirahan sa sanlibutan. ¶ Sapagkat siya’y nagsalita at iyon ay naganap, siya’y nag-utos, at iyon ay tumatayong matatag” (Awit 33:6-9).

11. Ownership Through Creation
Christ, the Creator
Material things are not evil. After all, Jesus Himself created it. How then, could it be evil? It can, unfortunately
as with all of God’s gifts, be perverted and used for evil, but that does not make the original gift evil.
God created the material world, and He wanted His people to enjoy the fruit and benefits of this world, as well.
Si Cristo, ang Manlalalang. Ang mga materyal na bagay ay hindi masama. Matapos ang lahat, si Jesus mismo ang lumikha nito. Paano kung gayon, magiging masama ito? Maaaring ito, sa kasamaang palad, gaya ng marami sa mga regalo ng Diyos, ay mapapasama at magagamit para sa kasamaan, pero hindi nun ginagawang masama ang orihinal na regalo. ¶ Nilikha ng Diyos ang materyal na daigdig, at gusto din naman Niya na matamasa ng Kanyang bayan ang bunga at pakinabang ng mundong ito.

12. Ownership Through Creation
Christ, the Creator
Jesus is the Creator (John 1:1–3). He knows the value of material things, and He knows that He gave them to us for our benefit, and enjoyment.
He knows, too, what happens when humanity perverts those gifts, or even makes the gifts an end in themselves, when, as with all things, they were meant to be used to glorify God.
Si Jesus ang Manlalalang (Juan 1:1–3). Alam Niya ang halaga ng mga materyal na bagay, at alam na ibinigay Niya ang mga ito sa atin para sa ating pakinabang, at kahit pa para sa ating kasiyahan. ¶ Alam din Niya ang mangyayari kapag pinasama ng sangkatauhan ang mga regalong ito, o kahit pa gawin ang mga regalo na layunin mismo, bagaman, gaya ng lahat ng mga bagay, ang mga ito'y itinalaga para luwalhatiin ang Diyos.

13. Ownership Through Creation
Son of God/Son of Man
One reason Jesus came to this world was to show us just how loving and caring God is. Satan, however, has tried to depersonalize Him, characterizing Him as someone who doesn’t care about us.
An inordinate love of material things works well as one of Satan’s ploys to achieve this end.
Anak ng Diyos/Anak ng Tao. Ang isang dahilan na si Jesus ay naparito sa mundong ito ay upang ipakita sa atin kung gaano kamaibigin at maalalahanin ang Diyos at kung gaano Siya nagmamalasakit. Si Satanas, gayunman, ay tinangkang gawing impersonal Siya, inilalarawan Siya na gaya ng isa na walang malasakit sa atin. ¶ Ang labis na pag-ibig sa mga materyal na bagay ay gumagawang mabuti bilang isa sa mga pakana ni Satanas para marating ang pakay na ito.

14. The love of the world and of material things blinded him so that even
Ownership Through Creation
Son of God/Son of Man
What does this story (Matthew 19:16–22) tell about how Satan can use our love of material things to keep us distant from the Lord?
The love of the world and of material things blinded him so that even
though he was sad, that sadness wasn’t enough to make him do the right thing.
Ano ang sinasabi ng kuwentong ito (Mateo 19:16–22) tungkol sa kung paano magagamit ni Satanas ang ating pagmamahal sa mga materyal na bagay para panatilihin tayong malayo sa Panginoon? ¶ Ang pag-ibig sa sanlibutan at ng mga materyal na bagay ay binulag siya na bagaman malungkot siya, ang kalungkutang 'yon ay hindi sapat para itulak siyang gawin ang tama.

15. have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.”
God or Mammon?
2. Ownership Through Redemption
Colossians 1:13, 14 ESV
“He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved
Son, in whom we
have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.”
2. Pagmamay-ari sa Pamamagitan ng Pagtubos. “Iniligtas niya tayo sa kapangyarihan ng kadiliman at inilipat tayo sa kaharian ng kanyang minamahal na anak, na sa kanya ay mayroon tayong katubusan, na siyang kapatawaran ng mga kasalanan” (Colosas 1:13, 14).

16. 2. Ownership Through Redemption
Christ, the Redeemer
Adam and Eve sinned. Thus, humanity became debtors to divine justice, a debt that we could never repay. Only the sacrifice of Christ’s life could accomplish the required payment of divine justice.
“By pouring the whole treasury of heaven...God has purchased the will, the affections, the mind, the soul, of every human being.”—Christ’s Object Lessons 326.
Si Cristo, ang Manunubos. Sina Adan at Eva ay nagkasala. Kaya, ang sangkatauhan ay nagka-utang sa banal na katarungan, isang utang na hindi-hindi natin mababayaran. Ang sakripisyo lang ng Kanyang buhay ang makakaganap ng hinihiling na kabayaran ng banal na katarungan. ¶ “Sa pagbubuhos ng buong ingatang-yaman ng langit...binili ng Diyos ang kalooban, ang pagmamahal, ang pag-iisip, ang kaluluwa, ng lahat ng tao.”—Christ’s Object Lessons 326.

17. The Greek tetelestai in John 19:30 means “it is finished.” His mission
2. Ownership Through Redemption
Christ, the Redeemer
The Greek tetelestai in John 19:30 means “it is finished.” His mission
was accomplished and our debt was “paid in full.”
Looking at the cross of Redemption reveals a past event with a present effect and a future hope. Although undeserving, we are redeemed
(Eph. 1:7).
Ang Griyego na tetelestai sa Juan 19:30 ay nangangahulugang “tapos na.” Ang kanyang misyon ay nagampanan at ang ating utang ay "buung-buong nabayaran.” ¶ Kapag tiningnan ang krus ng katubusan ay lilitaw ang isang nakaraang pangyayari na may kasalukuyang epekto at hinaharap na pag-asa. Bagaman hindi marapat, tayo'y tinubos (Efeso 1:7).

18. That’s why He is indeed a jealous God.
2. Ownership Through Redemption
A Jealous God
Christ paid the debt, completely,
for all the evil you have ever done.
What must your response be?
God created humans to be free, which means we have the option to serve Him or to serve anything else. The only God worth serving is the One who created and possesses all the universe.
That’s why He is indeed a jealous God.
Isang Mapanibughuing Diyos. Binayaran ni Cristo ang utang, buung-buo at lubos, para sa lahat ng kasamaang nagawa na. Anong dapat mong tugon? ¶ Nilikha ng Diyos ang tao na maging malaya, na ang ibig sabihin ay meron tayong pamimili kung paglilingkuran Siya o paglilingkuran ang alinmang iba pa. Ang nararapat lang na paglingkurang Diyos ay ang Isa na lumikha at nagmamay-ari sa lahat ng sansinukob. ¶ 'Yan ang dahilan na Siya talaga ay mapanibughuing Diyos.

19. God or Mammon?
3. Ownership of All
Deuteronomy 10:14 NKJV
“Indeed heaven and the highest heavens belong to the Lord your God, also the earth with all that is in it.”
3. Pagmamay-ari ng Lahat. “Bagaman, sa Panginoon mong Diyos ang langit, at ang langit ng mga langit, ang lupa, at ng lahat na naroroon” (Deuteronomio 10:14).

20. What we think we own, He owns.
3. Ownersip of All
True Ownership
We belong to God, both by creation and by redemption. We own nothing other than our own choices.
What we think we own, He owns.
We are but His stewards, and as such we are to manage tangible and even intangible possessions to the glory
of God.
Tunay na Pagmamay-ari. Pag-aari tayo ng Diyos, parehong sa pamamagitan ng paglalang at pagtubos. Tayo ay walang pag-aari maliban sa sarili nating pagpili. ¶ Ang iniisip nating atin, ay Kanya. ¶ Tayo ay mga katiwala lang Niya, at sa gayon ating pangangasiwaan ang nahahawakang pag-aari at kahit pa ang hindi, para sa kaluwalhatian ng Diyos.

21. 3. Ownersip of All
True Ownership
God’s ownership and our stewardship mandate a relationship, one through which He may use us in ways that will prepare us for heaven and that will benefit and bless others.
But unfaith-ful stewards can restrict the Owner’s access to His own possessions. What we do with them reflects the kind of relationship that we have with Him.
Ang pagmamay-ari ng Diyos at ang ating pagiging katiwala ay iniuutos ang isang relasyon, isa na sa pamamagitan nito ay magagamit Niya tayo sa mga paraang ihahanda tayo para sa langit at magiging pakinabang at pagpapala sa iba. ¶ Subalit ang mga di-tapat na katiwala ay matatakdaan ang paggamit ng May-ari sa sarili Niyang pag-aari. Kung ano ang gagawin natin sa pamamagitan ng mga ito ay inihahayag ang uri ng relasyong meron tayo sa Kanya.

22. and Eve have positions of responsibility and trust but not as owners.
God or Mammon?
Final Words
Stewardship started with God placing Adam and Eve in a beautiful garden home that they were to care for and manage (Gen. 2:15).
In this environment Adam and Eve were to learn that God was the Owner, and they were His stewards. Adam
and Eve have positions of responsibility and trust but not as owners.
Huling Pananalita. Ang pagiging katiwala ay nagpasimula sa paglalagay ng Diyos kina Adan at Eva sa isang magandang halamanang tahanan na kanilang iingatan at pangangasiwaan (Genesis 2:15). ¶ Sa kapaligirang ito matututunan nina Adan at Eva na ang Diyos ang May-ari, at sila'y Kanyang mga katiwala. Sina Adan at Eva ay may mga posisyon ng pananagutan at pagtitiwala ngunit hindi bilang mga may-ari.
