The Will To Win

Joshua 1:8
 ● Josue 1:8
● 8 Huwag mong kalimutang basahin ang Aklat
ng Kautusan. Pagbulay-bulayan mo ito araw
at gabi para malaman mo kung paano mo
matutupad nang mabuti ang lahat ng
nakasulat dito. Kung gagawin mo ito, uunlad
ka at magtatagumpay.
 ● Juan 15:16
● 16 Hindi kayo ang pumili sa akin kundi ako
ang pumili sa inyo, para humayo kayo at
mamunga ng mga bungang mananatili. Sa
ganoon, anuman ang hingin ninyo sa Ama sa
pangalan ko ay ibibigay niya sa inyo.
 ● 1 Corinto 9:24
● 24 Sa ating pagsunod sa Dios ay para tayong
mananakbo. Alam ninyo na sa isang
takbuhan, marami ang sumasali ngunit isa
lang ang nananalo. Kaya pagbutihin ninyo
ang pagtakbo upang makamit ninyo ang
gantimpala.
 ● Kawikaan 21:5
● 5 Ang gawaing plinanong mabuti at
pinagsikapan ay patungo sa kaunlaran, ngunit
ang gawaing padalos-dalos ay maghahatid ng
karalitaan.

A. God Created us to Win
Genesis 1:26-28
26 
Pagkatapos, sinabi ng Dios, “Likhain natin ang tao ayon sa ating wangis.
Sila ang mamamahala sa lahat ng uri ng hayop: mga lumalangoy, lumilipad,
lumalakad at gumagapang.” 27 Kaya nilikha ng Dios ang tao, lalaki at babae
ayon sa wangis niya. 28 Binasbasan niya sila at sinabi, “Magpakarami kayo
para mangalat ang mga lahi ninyo at mamahala sa buong mundo. At
pamahalaan ninyo ang lahat ng hayop.”
● Original plan and design natin
A. God Created us to Win
● Ephesians 2:10 Nilikhatayo ng Dios; at sa pakikipag-isa
natin kay Cristo Jesus, binigyan niya tayo ng bagong
buhay, para gumawa tayo ng kabutihan na noon paʼy
itinalaga na ng Dios na gawin natin.

● Psalms 139:14 – Pinupuri

ko kayo dahil kahanga-hanga
ang pagkakalikha nʼyo sa akin    Nalalaman ko na ang
inyong mga gawa ay tunay na kahanga-hanga.

Body, Soul and Spirit
● 1. I Thess. 5:23 23 Pakabanalin nawa kayong lubos ng Dios na siyang
nagbibigay ng kapayapaan. At nawaʼy panatilihin niyang walang
kapintasan ang buo ninyong pagkatao – ang espiritu, kaluluwa at katawan
– hanggang sa pagbabalik ng ating Panginoong Jesu-Cristo.
● 2 1-2 Mula sa namumuno sa iglesya.
● Mahal na kaibigang Gaius, na lubos kong minamahal[a]:
● Idinadalangin ko na maging malusog ka at sanaʼy nasa mabuting
kalagayan, tulad ng buhay mong espiritwal na alam kong nasa mabuti
ring kalagayan.
B. How we were Created – Tripartite Being –
Body, Soul and Spirit
● 4. Success and Winning is a product of
effort and never occurs by chance,
therefore we must be Intentional, we
must WILL IT!
C. We must take the Can’t out of our lives if we
are going to Win!

attention (MERALCO)

can’t do something and think of all the
reasons why you can!

are going to Win!

● Jesus said, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him
that believes.” Jesus did not eliminate anything, he said, ALL
THINGS.

uncommitted, and just beyond your excuse is the
effort you need to win!
● 2. Hebrews 12:2 – Jesus’ mind was on the
resurrection Ituon natin ang ating paningin kay Jesus na siyang
2 

sandigan ng pananampalataya natin mula sa simula hanggang sa katapusan.

kaligayahang naghihintay sa kanya. At ngayon nga ay nakaupo na siya sa kanan
ng trono ng Dios.

desire

on our part regulated by our human
will

willing to accept as believable?
C. The Importance of the Will of Man – It
controls the following:
● 3. The consistency of our character – This is
subject to our willingness to function a.t. the
values and core beliefs

The quality of life we experience is subject to
our willingness to pursue what we have
defined as quality of life.
