Thank you for joining us again for our series “The Great and Sovereign Mercy of God.” Have you experienced the mercy of God? I’m sure you have, and you will identify with our story today.

Aming mga kasalanan, sa harap mo’y nahahayag, mga sala naming lihim ay kita mo sa liwanag.

Awit 90:8

Kampante si Edward sa panonood ng pornography sa bahay ng kanyang kapatid hanggang sa napansin niyang may CCTV palang nakatutok sa kanya. Bigla nitong pinatay ang TV at na-guilty sa kasalanang ginagawa niya nang palihim. Nakunan siya sa CCTV habang ginagawa ang kanyang favorite sin at maaaring mapanood ito ng kanyang kapatid. Edward was so stressed he tried all means to delete the video bago makita ng ibang tao dahil malaki itong kahihiyan. He even searched the internet to find out how to access the camera but to no avail kasi protected pala ng password. Ganun na lang ang pagsisisi ni Edward at nangakong ititigil na ang panonood ng pornography. He prayed to God for forgiveness and asked Him to help him overcome the sin of the lust of the flesh. Nagmakaawa siya kay Lord not to allow his sin to be exposed at ma-spare siya sa kahihiyan.

Malaking tulong ang CCTV para sa paghuli ng mga magnanakaw at traffic violators. Kaya naman ingat na ingat tayo na huwag makagawa ng violation lalo na kapag may CCTV. Kung meron mang violation, may mga pagkakataon na nakakalusot. Pero alam n’yo ba na wala tayong lusot sa “CCTV” ni Lord? Ang lahat ng ating ginagawa, pati mga kasalanan, ay nakikita Niya. Psalm 90:8 (AMP) says, “You have placed our wickedness before you, our secret sins, which we tried to conceal, You have placed in the revealing light of Your presence.” Sa sobrang liwanag ng presensya ng Panginoon, all the dark areas of our lives are exposed before Him. Nakakahiya man, masakit man ma-expose ang hidden sins natin, ginagawa ito ni Lord kasi gusto Niya tayong mag-repent and mag-turn away from sin para matanggap natin ang blessings Niya. As He has promised, “Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper, but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy” (Proverbs 28:13 NIV).

After Edward confessed and renounced his sin, he found mercy. Sinabi niya sa kanyang kapatid na meron siyang kahiya-hiyang video na gusto niyang ipa-delete sa CCTV. Natawa ang kapatid at sinabing, “Huwag kang mag-alala, hindi naman naka-plug ang CCTV.”

Napakadakila talaga ng ating merciful God! It’s so overwhelming to realize na hindi pa man tayo pumapalpak at bumabagsak, nakaabang na sa atin ang mercy ni God. Join us tomorrow for the last part of our wonderful series, “The Great and Sovereign Mercy of God.”

LET’S PRAY

O Lord, search me. I confess all my sins, even my hidden sins. I ask You dear Holy Spirit to reveal them to me (Acknowledge these sins one by one). Help me to turn away from sin. Help me, Lord, to obey You. I surrender all my weaknesses to You. Let Your light shine upon me, Lord Jesus. Amen.

APPLICATION

Takot ka bang makita sa CCTV ang buhay mo? Meron pa bang hidden sins na ayaw mong makunan? List them down and ask the Holy Spirit to help you overcome them. Do this again after one week and the weeks to follow until, by the grace of God, you have completely turned away from these sins.
