Bangun, Angkat Tangan dan Berdoa.

source : here
Pada 15 Okt Kira-kira jam 3 pagi yg masih sunyi dan sepi, saya terjaga dri tidur krna anak kecil saya menangis kelaparan. Setelah selesai mnyusukan saya tidur kembali, dan tidak kurang dari 15 minit saya baring di tempat tidur, saya mendapat satu penglihatan dlm mimpi yang begitu menakutkan. Tiba-tiba saya terdengar suara2 org berteriak meminta tolong dan mereka mulai memanggil nama saya dan berkata "Shil, bangun dan berdoa". Saya mengenali suara2 itu dan pada wktu itulah saya bangkit dari tempat tidur, saya membuka jendela rumah dan saya melihat gumpulan2 awan hitam yg begitu tebal serta asap hitam turun ke bumi membentuk sepasukan tentera yang begitu ramai jumlahnya dan siap dengan senjatanya. Pada mulanya saya tidak memahami siapa tentera2 yang bru turun disebalik awan hitam yang tebal itu, tetapi Roh Kudus memberitahu kpd saya tentang tentera itu adalah penguasa-penguasa dilangit yang turun ke bumi untuk membinasakan ramai org. 

Pada waktu itu saya melihat terjadi peperangan yang besar dan hebat diantara manusia dan makluk yang mengerikan itu. Saya melihat makluk2 itu bertopeng, muka mereka begitu hodoh dan menakutkan. Saya melihat makluk itu membunuh manusia tanpa belas kasihan dan merka juga masuk ke dalam gereja untuk mebinasakan org2 yg sedang beribadah. Tiba-tiba saya mendengar dua suara saudari yang memang saya kenal dan setia menjadi pendoa syafaat sampi pada hari ini berkata kepada saya, "Shil, angkat tanganmu dan berdoalah".Waktu itu juga saya mengangkat tangan saya dan berdoa, saya mulai berbahsa dlm bahasa2 yg saya sndiri tidak fahami. 

Tiba-tiba saya melihat ada satu kuasa seperti angin yang kencang dan api yang begitu menyala mengalir dari tangan saya dan ia mulai memancar dan memukul ke arah makluk2 itu dan mereka smua mulai terkalahkan. Dalam keadaan itu saya merasa tangan saya yang terangkat mulai menjadi letih dan ingin menurunkanya, tapi tiba-tiba saya mendngar suara yang bukan suara manusia berkata,"Jgn turunkan tanganmu, kerana bila kmu menurunkanya makluk2 itu akan bangkit semula untuk membunuh lebih ramai org lgi". Saya tidak melihat siapa2 yng berkata kepada saya, tapi saya mengenal suara itu bahawa itu suara Yesus yang lembut dan penuh ketegasan. 

Lalu saya berkata dlm hati apa erti semuanya ini Tuhan? Saat itu juga saya merasa kehadiran Roh Tuhan sendiri yng memberitahu kpdku yng dunia skrg dlm peperangan roh yng tak kelihatan. Inilah masa mereka menghancurkan dan memecah belahkan gereja2 Tuhan, membunuh dan memesongkan lebih ramai org lgi. Lalu Roh Tuhan berkata kpdku " senjata yang paling berkuasa ialah bila kamu mengangkat tangan dan berdoa maka segala musuhmu akan terkalahkan". Dia juga berkata "Gereja yang kuat apabila jemaah-Nya bertekun dalam DOA setiap waktu." Saya percaya lewat dari penglihatan ini, Tuhan memberikan mesej2 penting untuk kita semua, iaitu bertekun dalam DOA dan baca FIRMAN Tuhan, krna disitu kita akan mendapat kekuatan dan senjata yg tak dapat dikalahkan oleh iblis. Saya berdoa supaya setiap org yang membaca kesaksian singkat ini akan mengerti dan faham maksud mesej ini...dan biarlah Nama Tuhan kita yang dimuliakan.....Tuhan memberkati

Di Tempat Yang Tak Terduga

Kesaksian oleh Sim Patrik – Malaysia 

Salam semua. Saya amat bersyukur kepada Tuhan kerana kesempatan ini diberikan untuk kita sama-sama berbagi kesaksian guna menguatkan iman percaya kepada Yesus. Terlebih dahulu saya ingin menceritakan sedikit sebanyak tentang diri saya. Saya, seperti yang dinyatakan dalam profile di atas, adalah seorang dari warga negara Malaysia. Saya juga adalah seorang yang cacat penglihatan.

Saya pada mulanya bukanlah seorang kristen. Tetapi Tuhan menempatkan saya di tempat yang tidak pernah saya duga. Apa yang saya sering bayangkan ialah ketakutan baik dalam hidup mahu pun selepas meninggal dunia ini. Dalam hidup saya sering menghadapi ketakutan bilamana berhadapan dengan orang lain, takut melakukan sesuatu yang diamanahkan kerana takut diejek dan juga ditolak. Manakala bayangan saya tentang kematian pula ialah saya sering kali memikirkan apakah yang akan terjadi kepada tubuh yang sekarang ini. Tentu sahaja hidup ini sebenarnya tidak mempunyai tujuan, bisik hati dalam saya. Namun demikian, Tuhan itu amatlah baik dan tersangat baik bagi saya sehinggalah saya diselamatkan dengan cara yang tidak saya duga. Tuhan nampaknya memakai kegemaran harian saya untuk Dia menyatakan diri-Nya kepada saya.

Untuk pengetahuan semua, kegemaran saya antara lain ialah mendengar radio, terutama siaran dari luar dengan menggunakan gelombang pendek [short wave radio]. Ini sering saya lakukan pada waktu petang selepas sahaja saya pulang dari sekolah pada waktu itu. Di dalam saya berjinak-jinak mendengar siaran dari gelombang ini, saya tiba-tiba sahaja mendengar satu siaran yang pada masa itu disebut siaran bahasa baku yang disiarkan oleh perbadanan penyiaran timur jauh [FEBC]. Siaran ini berlangsung selama setengah jam bermula dari pukul 6.15 petang sehinggalah ke jam 6.45. Bermula dari saat itu saya terus membuat azam saya untuk tetap mendengar siaran tersebut untuk hari-hari yang berikutnya.

Saya amatlah tergerak hati apabila mendengarkan siaran tersebut yang menyatakan tentang kebenaran Allah dan juga kasih Allah yang mempunyai kesanggupan untuk seluruh manusia yang telah berdosa dan kehilangan kemuliaan Allah. Saya amat tersentak dengan kenyataan yang menyatakan bahawa kita semua sudah pun kehilangan kemuliaan Allah, tidak mampu lagi berbuat baik dan berkenaan kepada Allah. Di penghujung rancangan tersebut, penyampai acara sering mengajak pendengar untuk menyambut cabaran untuk menerima Kristus sebagai juruselamat.

Cerita ini tidak berhenti di sini sahaja. pada tahun yang sama juga, beberapa orang rakan saya sudah pun mula mengajak saya ke gereja yang mereka sering hadiri selama ini. Mereka juga sering mengajak pemimpin gereja untuk datang untuk sama kongsikan firman Tuhan di asrama kami tinggal pada masa itu. 

Puji Tuhan! Saya pun menerima kristus dan mula aktif dalam kegiatan gereja serta membaca firman yang sudah pastinya menjadi dasar kepada pertumbuhan iman percaya kita. Kerana kegemaran saya terus-menerus ada dalam hal mendengar siaran kristen dari khususnya dari Indonesia, maka Tuhan membukakan lagi jalan-Nya untuk berbuat demikian. Pada tahun 2008, hasil kesungguhan saya dalam menjalani latihan komputer yang disediakan oleh persatuan kami, saya dengan berkat dan kemurahan Tuhan diberikan kemampuan untuk memiliki sebuah laptop. 

Untuk pengetahuan semua, kami dari kalangan golongan yang tidak dapat melihat, kami menggunakan speech reader seperti jaws untuk menulis dan juga membaca dalam komputer. Seperti yang pernah Rasul Paulus katakan bahawa: “Sebab di dalam Dia kamu telah menjadi kaya dalam segala hal: di dalam segala macam perkataan dan pengetahuan” 1 Korintus 1:5. Saya akhirnya mempunyai beberapa kesempatan untuk mendengar siaran kristen seperti Heartline FM, Nafiri FM, Elshaddai FM, dan beberapa lagi termasuk juga yang di luar rantau kita seperti siaran the House FM. Ini juga saya merasakan saya mempunyai semangat yang tinggi untuk terus bersaksi kepada orang lain. 

“Tetapi mereka mengalahkan dia, iaitu iblis dengan darah Anak Domba, dan perkataan kesakian mereka, kerena mereka tidak mengasihi nyawa mereka sampai ke dalam maut”. Saya bersyukur kepada Tuhan kerana mendapat kesempatan yang berharga ini. Ini berlaku bukan kerana kepandaian dan kekuatan saya, tetapi kerana kemurahan dan kuasa Tuhan. tidak menjadi masaalah jikalau saya tidak dapat pergi ke tempat yang jauh untuk menginjil, saya dan anda dapat menginjil bahkan dengan menekan butang (tombol) komputer kita. Puji Tuhan!

Christian Relationship Help: How to Honor and Respect Parents Who Aren't Honorable or Respectable


Christian Relationship Help: How to Honor and Respect Parents Who Aren't Honorable or Respectable 
- By Karla Downing


Are you looking for Christian relationship help to guide you in how to honor and respect parents who aren't honorable or respectable? One of the Ten Commandments given by God is to honor your mother and father and it came with the promise that the Israelites would live long in their land (Exodus 20:12). "Honor" means to show proper respect and value. It isn't difficult to figure out how to honor and respect parents that behave honorably and respectably, but how do you honor and respect parents that don't act that way?

Many parents live in a way that isn't responsible. They overspend and incur huge debts. They don't plan appropriately for the future and end up in a situation where they need money for basic necessities. They have addictions to drugs, alcohol, gambling, and shopping. They are verbally and emotionally abusive to you, your siblings, your other parent, and your children. They may have divorced your mother or father and are now living with or married to someone who isn't your biological parent and worse yet, someone you don't like or respect. They may also have been bad parents when raising you and your siblings and have never repented.

These and other problems are all too common today, yet Christians still feel they need to abide by the biblical mandate. Here are ways you can honor a dishonorable parent:

Refuse to enable bad behavior.
Honoring does not require children to enable parents to continue bad behavior. It doesn't honor parents to do things that ultimately hurt them, the relationship with you, and others. When you honor someone, you want what is best for them because you value them enough to care. Refusing to enable unhealthy choices is investing in your parent's long-term good and acting in a way that increases the chance that positive changes will be made.

Speak respectfully when confronting.
Treating your parents with respect doesn't mean you can't confront them with the truth. The temptation might be to confront them with the deluge of resentment and anger you have stored up for years. Instead, you speak to them at the appropriate time in the appropriate way. Talk to them alone rather than in front of other people. Let them know that the problems are hurting your relationship with them and that you want the relationship to be better. Don't talk down to them or treat them abusively or with contempt. Accept your part in the problem by owning your own perceptions, opinions, experiences, and feelings. Recognize that your parents have the right to make choices for themselves as adults and so do you. Don't tell them what to do, manipulate, or threaten.

Do the things you can.
There are some things you cannot do: give money when the money isn't going to be spent wisely or is hurting you and your immediate family; tolerate abusive behavior toward you or your spouse and children; allow someone who is high or intoxicated in your home; allow someone to live with you who will disrupt your home and not respect your boundaries; or anything else that is enabling. You can't do these types of things but you can visit the person in other settings; remember holidays; help with things that are for your parent's good and do things that you would normally do for them.

Honoring and respecting your parents doesn't require you to tolerate and condone unacceptable behavior nor does it require you to allow them to do anything they want in your home and to you. It simply means that you treat your parents as people who you care about and value enough to make a stand for what is right and what is good for your long-term relationship.

Did Jesus came to form a Religion?

Holla peeps!!
Immanuel!

Did Jesus came to form a Religion?By Don Felix Azcona

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him (Jesus) should not perish but have everlasting life."

Lets see this verse carefully it never mention if we are Catholics, Protestant, SIB, or any other Christian Denomination or Religion. God said whosoever believes in His Son Jesus will not perish and will have an everlasting life. This is yet so simple and clear yet we debate in theology schools and among other Christian denomination to who is right.

Lets just say all the Christian denomination and religion of the world are right, because people will argue that no religion teaches man/woman to do bad or evil things, now that is true!. In today's world their are 1000 know religion including all the Christian denomination. Meaning if all these were true they would be 1000 ways to heaven. Now think for a second if there are 1000 ways to heaven why would God sent His only son (Jesus) to watch Him (Jesus) torture, insulted, crucified, and killed just to inform mankind, Hey I made another way now you have 1001 ways to choose from to enter heaven. Those that make any sense to you? No!, that is why in John 14:6, Jesus says; "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no one comes to the Father except through Me."

If by our on works and ability we could enter heaven, for an example follow the 7 sacraments, or pray 5 times a day, fasting, zakat, umra and going to haj, all these you could achieve on your own right? Than why would you need God? If you could go to heaven without God what's the point? If you never knew him? The Gospel is all about having an intimate relationship with God. We are saved by the grace of God, meaning something we dint deserve but could receive. And its only when man/woman understands this truth that they will understand God dint send His son Jesus to die so we could form a religion to follow a bunch of rules and laws. The Gospel is about God seeking to have a relationship with man/woman through His son so that we could share in His love as His children in Heaven.

Today my brothers and sisters search the truth and in your heart does Jesus know you by name? do you have that intimate relationship with Him? because if you don't He is desperately calling you today to share in His love. Say this short prayer: "Lord Jesus I believe you are the Son of God and died on the cross for my sins. Lord Jesus come into my heart and be lord and saviour. In Jesus name I Pray". And get to a good base Bible Church. The best is start reading the Bible.

A Pray To Find A Job

PRAYER for EMPLOYMENT: God, our Father, I turn to you seeking your divine help and guidance as I look for suitable employment. I need your wisdom to guide my footsteps along the right path, and to lead me to find the proper things to say and do in this quest. I wish to use the gifts and talents you have given me, but I need the opportunity to do so with gainful employment. Do not abandon me, dear Father, in this search, but rather grant me this favor I seek so that I may return to you with praise and thanksgiving for your gracious assistance. Grant this through Christ, our Lord. Amen.

Jesus brought me home (Testimony by Mr. Sylvester Linus)


Jesus brought me home
Praise Jesus! Finally, arrived home safely after 3 days traveling with full of surprises, longer time than the usual flight route! Stranded in Dubai for 15 hours, ended up paying hotel bill at Dubai, buying new ticket at Brunei airport to catch up early flight to kKIA which initially booked by company to fly home at 6pm...and the disaster part is i lost my passport! For the first time in my life this is happening! 

I lost all traveling documentation -my passport, boarding pass, master card, local bank card...at Cape Town International airport...this is all happened just 45 minutes before boarding time... Panic...feel hopeless. What makes thing more difficult is Cape Town International Gates doesn't have information counter... What a place! Airlines Lounges didn't know how to deal with that kind of situation and the immigration officer as well as the Airline crew told me I can't board the flight without these documentations...i was so angry to myself..I don't remember where I put it! I keep walking back and forth, enters every shops and toilets asking the same people only to find a disappointing response "So sorry man, I don't see any passport wallet, pity you..." From the immigration officer, Airline crew, shops attendance even the toilet cleaner before digging a rubbish bins. 

I didn't expecting thing like this to happen as I'm always careful when comes to time management and preparation on documentation. Obviously not this time! I could only told Jesus I didn't prepared to face this trouble. And I wanna go home. During the time i don't know what to pray so I prayed in tongue whilst walking and searching. 

After all of these still the result is disappointing. By this time, the queue to A5 gate is now became longer and longer about 50 meters... 5 minutes before the gate open, I sat down. Try to recall back where i put the passport wallet. What i read from Pastor Joseph Prince devotional's book earlier is gone. In sadness i took out the book from my ruck sack but this time I just randomly open without looking onto the date. This is what the contents that makes me calm and REST after finished my reading...

Psalm 91:1 "He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty"

In the Old Testament, there was a place where God met with His people. In Exodus 25:22, God said, "And there I will meet with you, and I will speak with you from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim which are on the ark of the Testimony..." this place was above the mercy seat of the ark of the covenant, under the wings of the two cherubim. The Psalmist calls it "the secret place of the Most High...under the shadow of the Almighty".

The mercy seat covered the ark which contained the three emblems if man's rebellion: the golden pot of manna - man's rebellion against God's provision, two tablets of stone on which God wrote the Ten Commandments - man's rebellion against God's standard, and Aaron's rod - man's rebellion against God's authority. Once a year on the Day of Atonement, the high priest wold sprinkle the blood of the sacrificed animal on the mercy seat and so make propitiation for the sins of Israel.

Today, it is not the blood of animals that makes propitiation for our sins, but the holy blood of the Son of God. (Romans 3:24-25) The word for "propitiation" in the original Greek text is "hilasterion", which actually means "mercy seat". So Christ is our mercy seat. His blood speaks for us and puts God on our side. God does not see our rebellion. He sees the blood of His Son and accepts us!

This is why we can come boldly to the secret place of the Most High, in Christ, and feel secure that we have every right to be in God's presence. We can come boldly to Him to obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. (Hebrew 4:6).

And because of Christ, our mercy seat, covers us with His blood, we are UNDER God's PROTECTION. We are in the secret place of the Most High, abiding under the shadow of the Almighty.mhere, NO evil will befall us, nor will any plague come near our dwelling. (Psalm 91:9-10) In the secret place of the Most High, we are FAVORED AND KEPT SAFE FROM ALL HARM!

Thought for the day "Because Christ, our mercy seat, covers us with His blood, we are under God's protection and favor".

Just after i finished reading this part i prayed this prayer, "LORD JESUS, I WILL REST IN YOUR HANDS BECAUSE IF I WORK YOU REST, AND IF I REST YOU WORK. I LEAVE EVERYTHING INTO YOUR HANDS BECAUSE YOU HAVE GONE AHEAD OF ME PREPARED EVERYTHING FOR TODAY, IN JESUS NAME I PRAYED, AMEN. 

After a while an announcement made by the Airline "This is not a boarding announcement, we apologies for the delayed to board flight EK771 due to late arrival of the flight from previous destination. Please remain seated until further announcement, thank you". This what came in mind and I asked Jesus, "Lord Jesus, are You going to delay this flight until I get my passport?"

few minutes later, another announcement was made but this time for somebody else -problems of his flight ticket... And again i told Jesus, "Lord, when it's mine?"... 

Finally, the third announcement i heard loud and clear my name was called to gate A5 and by this time the queue was even longer than before... I was walking with faith that God has my passport ready with EVERYTHING still on hands - credit card, bank card, flyer card etc... And true enough, when I reached the counter the lady handed over my passport wallet and told me "someone" send it to her after found it from one of the shops.. Hallelujah!! You know what, God has kept EVERYTHING inside my passport wallet, not a single papers missing as well as the important cards...

I praised God for the rest of my journey thinking about His goodness, His protection and His favored to me..Name above all names, You a worthy of all praise and my heart will sing how great is our God!. Here's the song repeated in my MP3... indeed "HOW GREAT IS OUR GOD". Now here i am at home enjoying my time with family!

Through Small Things

Several years ago a young priest moved to London. He often took the bus from his home to the downtown area. Some weeks after he arrived, he had occasion to ride a bus. When he sat down, he discovered that the driver had accidentally given him twenty pence too much change. As he considered what to do, he thought to himself, ‘you better give the twenty pence back. It would be wrong to keep it’.


Then he thought, ‘Oh forget it, it’s only twenty pence.’ 
Who would worry about this little amount? 
Anyway, the bus company already gets too much fare; they will never miss it. Accept it as a gift from the Almighty, and keep quiet’.


When his stop came, the priest paused momentarily at the door, then he handed the twenty pence back to the driver and said: “Here, you gave me too much change.”


The driver with a smile replied: “Aren’t you the new parish priest in this area? I have been thinking lately about going to worship at your Church. I just wanted to see what you would do if I gave you too much change.”


When the young priest stepped off the bus, his knees became weak and soft. He had to grab the nearest light pole and held for support, and looked up to the heavens and cried:


“Oh my Jesus, I almost sold your Christianity for twenty pence!”


We may never see what impact our actions have on people… Sometimes we are the only “Bible” someone will ever read, or the only Christianity someone will see. What we need to provide is an example for others to see. Be careful of how you behave, and be honest always: you never know who is watching your actions.

Follow Your Heart, No Matter What


Original version from Christian Stories

I have a friend named Monty Roberts who owns a horse ranch in San Ysidro. He has let me use his house to put on fund-raising events to raise money for youth at risk programs.

The last time I was there he introduced me by saying, “I want to tell you why I let Jack use my house. It all goes back to a story about a young man who was the son of an itinerant horse trainer who would go from stable to stable, race track to race track, farm to farm and ranch to ranch, training horses. As a result, the boy’s high school career was continually interrupted. When he was a senior, he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up.

“That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of someday owning a horse ranch. He wrote about his dream in great detail and he even drew a diagram of a 200-acre ranch, showing the location of all the buildings, the stables and the track. Then he drew a detailed floor plan for a 4,000-square-foot house that would sit on a 200-acre dream ranch.

“He put a great deal of his heart into the project and the next day he handed it in to his teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. On the front page was a large red F with a note that read, ‘See me after class.’

“The boy with the dream went to see the teacher after class and asked, ‘Why did I receive an F?’

“The teacher said, ‘This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you. You have no money. You come from an itinerant family. You have no resources. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money. You have to buy the land. You have to pay for the original breeding stock and later you’ll have to pay large stud fees. There’s no way you could ever do it.‘ Then the teacher added, ‘If you will rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.’

“The boy went home and thought about it long and hard. He asked his father what he should do. His father said, ‘Look, son, you have to make up your own mind on this. However, I think it is a very important decision for you.’

“Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the same paper, making no changes at all. He stated, `You can keep the F and I’ll keep my dream.’”

Monty then turned to the assembled group and said, “I tell you this story because you are sitting in my 4,000-square-foot house in the middle of my 200-acre horse ranch. I still have that school paper framed over the fireplace.” He added, “The best part of the story is that two summers ago that same schoolteacher brought 30 kids to camp out on my ranch for a week.” When the teacher was leaving, he said, ‘Look, Monty, I can tell you this now. When I was your teacher, I was something of a dream stealer. During those years I stole a lot of kids’ dreams. Fortunately you had enough gumption not to give up on yours.‘”

“Don’t let anyone steal the dreams God gives you. Follow your heart, no matter what.”

Don't be worry..Just Ask, Seek & Knock.

Ask, Seek, Knock


    7 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 
8 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
   9 “Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? 11 If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! 12 So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.

Hatred vs. Loves

Hatred stirs up dissension,
but love covers all transgressions.-Proverbs 10:12

Love acts like forgiveness. Hatred looks for and exaggerates faults; 
but love seeks ways to make sins disappear.
*
This contrasts the wicked motivated by hatred (animosity, rejection) 
with the righteous motivated by love (kind acts, showing favor).

Oh God, please denied me from the hatred whenever something wasn't occurs in my way,
give me Your loves and Your great wisdom for me to do Your will today...-Fitzhugh

ISAIAH 41:10

full credits to this image

Don’t be afraid, for I am with you!

This verse was written (by me in my notebook) 2 years ago while I was had hard time in my life. For everyday in sorrow, this Isaiah phrase was really re-strengthen and re-filled my "life-energy". In many ways, to put our trust in this phrase will and always gives us "great-fruits" even though the "season" for growing a plant is not good. Ie: Planting rices in Winter season, seems IMPOSSIBLE but nothing impossible and everything will & were always POSSIBLE in God.

Believe, trust, and put our faith in God, 
for He said, 
"I am With You!" 

p/s: Yes, let us claim that for He had given us that promised even before the Earth was made. Thanks God!

Amsal 10:12

Kebencian menimbulkan pertengkaran,
tetapi
Kasih mengampunkan segala kesalahan.

When I was home for holiday which is just came to an end yesterday,
I went through my belongings and somehow I found these old notebook of mine.
The book written everyday, since the day I fall in Love deeply to HIM. 
The words/sentences that growth me/cured me/hold me up for the times passed.
And now, I want to rewrite it to you, whoever keen to HIS love, read it, search it, and experience it. 
May God's love overflow in you. Amen.


Below are a post been posted and shared in facebook status among Christians. So do I, please take your time to read it. The following entry wasn't mine. But, I shared it here because 'sharing is caring' isn't.



Me: God, can I ask You a question?

God: Sure

Me: Promise You won't get mad
... ... ... ...
God: I promise

Me: Why did You let so much stuff happen to me today?

God: What do u mean?

Me: Well, I woke up late

God: Yes

Me: My car took forever to start

God: Okay

Me: at lunch they made my sandwich wrong & I had to wait

God: Huummm

Me: On the way home, my phone went DEAD, just as I picked up a call

God: All right

Me: And on top of it all off, when I got home ~I just want to soak my feet in my new foot massager & relax. BUT it wouldn't work!!! Nothing went right today! Why did You do that?

God: Let me see, the death angel was at your bed this morning & I had to send one
of My Angels to battle him for your life. I let you sleep through that

Me (humbled): OH

GOD: I didn't let your car start because there was a drunk driver on your route that would have hit you if you were on the road.

Me: (ashamed)

God: The first person who made your sandwich today was sick & I didn't want you to catch what they have, I knew you couldn't afford to miss work.

Me (embarrassed):Okay

God: Your phone went dead bcuz the person that was calling was going to give false witness about what you said on that call, I didn't even let you talk to them so you would be covered.

Me (softly): I see God

God: Oh and that foot massager, it had a shortage that was going to throw out all of the power in your house tonight. I didn't think you wanted to be in the dark.

Me: I'm Sorry God

God: Don't be sorry, just learn to Trust Me.... in All things , the Good & the bad.

Me: I will trust You.

God: And don't doubt that My plan for your day is Always Better than your plan.

Me: I won't God. And let me just tell you God, Thank You for Everything today.

God: You're welcome child. It was just another day being your God and I Love looking after My Children...

Mengetahui namun tidak mengenal.

Yohanes 7:
27 Tetapi tentang orang ini kita tahu dari mana asal-Nya, tetapi bilamana Kristus datang, tidak ada seorangpun yang tahu dari mana asal-Nya."
28 Waktu Yesus mengajar di Bait Allah, Ia berseru: "Memang Aku kamu kenal dan kamu tahu dari mana asal-Ku; namun Aku datang bukan atas kehendak-Ku sendiri, tetapi Aku diutus oleh Dia yang benar yang tidak kamu kenal.
29 Aku kenal Dia, sebab Aku datang dari Dia dan Dialah yang mengutus Aku."

Selengkapnya baca: Yohanes 7:25-36

Mengetahui namun tidak mengenal. Kebanyakan orang Yahudi pada masa itu, beranggapan bahwa mereka mengetahui asal-usul Tuhan Yesus tetapi darimana asal-Nya mereka tidak tahu (27). Itulah sebabnya mereka menolak untuk percaya kepada Tuhan Yesus. Padahal sebenarnya pengetahuan mereka tentang asal-usul Tuhan Yesus itu pun tidak benar. Mereka tidak mengetahui bahwa Tuhan Yesus diutus oleh Bapa-Nya. Begitu banyak orang dari masa ke masa mempunyai pengetahuan yang salah tentang Tuhan Yesus. Akibatnya mereka tidak mengenal dan tidak percaya kepada-Nya. Betapa menyedihkan!

Mencari namun tidak menemukan. Kecemasan mulai timbul ketika Tuhan Yesus mengatakan akan datang saatnya, mereka akan mencari Dia, namun tidak menemukan-Nya. Kehadiran Yesus sebagai manusia di dunia tidak untuk selamaNya, karena Dia akan kembali kepada Bapa di surga, setelah menyelesaikan misi-Nya sebagai Juruselamat. Bila kita tidak sungguh rindu mengenal Dia dalam kebenaran-Nya, akan datang saatnya, kita tidak lagi dapat menemukan Dia. Karena itu carilah Tuhan, selama dia berkenan di temui (bdk. Yes. 55:6)

Renungkan: Apakah saya sudah mengenal dan bertemu Tuhan Yesus sebagai Tuhan dan Juruselamat saya sejati?

Doa: Tuhan Yesus, kami rindu mengenal-Mu dengan sesungguhnya.

AVODAH is the word

Bacaan Setahun : Ayub 35-37 
Nats : Apapun juga yang kamu perbuat, perbuatlah dengan segenap hatimu seperti untuk Tuhan dan bukan untuk manusia (Kolose 3:23) 


AVODAH


Bacaan : Kolose 3:17-25 






Ada sebuah kata Ibrani yang menarik, yaitu avodah, yang secara literal berarti "bekerja". Kata ini merujuk pada aktivitas seseorang dalam dunia bisnis, industri, pertanian, dan sebagainya. Menariknya, kata yang sama juga dipakai untuk aktivitas melayani dan mempersembahkan korban di Bait Allah.Di Alkitab, avodah diterjemahkan "bekerja" pada bagian tertentu dan "ibadah" pada bagian lainnya. Aktivitas di dunia kerja dan di Bait Allah bagi orang Ibrani merupakan tindakan dengan natur yang sama, yaitu penyembahan kepada Tuhan. Dengan kata lain, pekerjaan seseorang ialah suatu bentuk ibadah, bukan sekadar aktualisasi diri atau pelayanan bagi sesama.


Kebenaran yang sama juga digemakan dengan sangat kuat dalam kata-kata Paulus, "Apa pun juga yang kamu perbuat, perbuatlah dengan segenap hatimu seperti untuk Tuhan dan bukan untuk manusia." Di bagian ini Paulus sedang mengajar jemaat tentang bagaimana menjalani hidup baru (pasal 3) yang mewujudkan keutamaan Pribadi Kristus (pasal 1) dan kepenuhan di dalam Dia (pasal 2). Tiap orang percaya didorong untuk melakukan segala sesuatu-dalam hidup berjemaat, suami-istri, orangtua-anak, tuan-hamba-"dalam nama Tuhan Yesus", demi dan bagi Kristus (ayat 17).


Apa pun yang sedang atau akan kita kerjakan hari ini, mari pikirkan bagaimana kita dapat melakukannya demi dan bagi Kristus. Perbedaan apa yang muncul dengan sikap hati yang baru tersebut? Pakailah setiap kesempatan hari ini untuk menjadikan segala aktivitas dan pertemuan Anda sebagai sebuah avodah (ibadah) yang besar kepada Tuhan --JOO

Nats : Aku tahu kepada siapa aku percaya (2Timotius 1:12)

Apakah Anda tahu bahwa aglet berasal dari tang? Atau apakah Anda mengerti istilah duff ketika Anda berjalan melaluinya?

Hal-hal tersebut di atas tidaklah terlalu penting untuk kita ketahui agar kehidupan kita berhasil. Jika Anda tidak mengerti bahwa aglet adalah "mengencangkan tali sepatu" dan tang adalah "pengencangan sekrup dengan sebuah alat," sedangkan duff adalah "bahan-bahan yang mulai membusuk pada permukaan tanah di hutan-hutan," Anda tidak perlu kecewa. Itu semua tidak terlalu penting. Setiap saat Anda dapat mencari keterangan tentang hal-hal tersebut.

Kita dapat bersukacita karena kita tidak harus mengetahui semua hal yang ada didunia. Bahkan seringkali kita dapat bergantung pada pengetahuan seseorang. Sebagai contoh, saya tidak tahu bagaimana caranya memperbaiki kendaraan saya yang rusak, namun selama masih ada seseorang yang tahu dan dapat memperbaikinya, hal itu tidak menjadi masalah lagi bagi saya.

Ada satu pengetahuan yang harus kita pertanggungjawabkan pengenalannya secara individual jika kita ingin masuk ke dalam kerajaan surga. Di sini saya berbicara tentang pengenalan akan Kristus secara pribadi. Kita hidup pada zaman informasi berkembang dengan pesat, dan hubungan pribadi dengan Kristus adalah satu-satunya jalan untuk hidup bijaksana dan merupakan persiapan bagi kita untuk bertemu dengan Allah. Rasul Paulus memjelaskan hal ini ketika ia menulis, "Aku tahu kepada siapa aku percaya."

Tahukah Anda bahwa Seseorang telah mati untuk Anda dan dapat mengampuni dosa-dosa Anda? Bila Anda mengenal Dia, segala pengetahuan lain menjadi tidak terlalu penting lagi [[JDB]]

Help Me Lord



Stories of inspiration: the Lord my Savior??
There is a man who lived near a river. The month of rainy season has already started. There is almost no day without rain both spatter and heavy rain.

One day the disaster occurred in the area. Because it was raining heavily rather prolonged, the longer the river level rises, and eventually there was a great flood.

At that time had reached the height of the flooding of the knee in adults. The area slowly started too isolated. There have been many people who began to evacuate from the area, afraid that if the higher water levels increased.

Other people who have already begun to evacuate, but a blatant male looks quiet establishes. Finally the rescue truck came and stop in front of the man's House.

"Sir, quickly enter this truck, the floods will increasingly high in no time", cried one of the helper to the men's squad.

But the man replied: "no, thank you, you just go and continue helping the others. I am the Lord follower shall be saved. I was always prays to Lord."

After some time, the rescue team boat has to go on to help others without him.

The higher water levels as time. Height begins to reach 1.5 meters but the man is still at home, sitting on top of cupboards.

Head to the squad by bringing a rubber boat auxiliary and stopped in front of the man's House.

"Sir, go here faster, ride with us in this boat. As the State of the control said that the possibility of water will be raising non-stop.

Again, the man said: "thank you, don't help me, I am a man of faith, I am sure God will save me from this state of affairs.

The boat leave without any of squad member able to persuade those men to be saved.

Flood forecast of the great turns out to be happen. Water levels are already in such a high that the water was almost sinking houses there. The man appears above his home while continuing to pray more and more.

There came a helicopter and a team of helpers. The helper sees there's a squad of men sitting at his home. They threw a rope ladder from the plane. From the sound of the megaphone: "Sir, quickly grasp the rope and jump on this one.", but again the man responded with a shout: "thank you, but you don't help me. I am faithful and diligent prayed. The Lord will surely save me.

The longer the height of the flooding, and finally the whole ride home in the area were submerged completely.

How the fate of these men?

The man was eventually drowned.

In the afterlife she was confronted by God. This man then started talking pitched protest: "my God, I always pray to you, always remember you, but why would I not be saved by You from the floods?"

The Lord responded with a terse: "I've always heard your prayer, to which I have sent a Truck, then the boat and the last aircraft helicopters. But how come you did not enter either one?

An interesting story. So as in our lives and our work, we always tends to perform a prayer to God. And God is often sent a "truck", "boat", and "aircraft" to us, but we are not aware of it~we didn't see it~we didn't recognize it.

Jawaban kepada pertanyaan ini benar2 menegur diri sy untuk tetap setia dalam merenungkan FirmanNya dan menyediakan saat teduh bersamaNya setiap hari..

mari kita sama-sama baca dan renungkan ilustrasi dibawah ini. ( bukan my entry)...

Seorang laki-laki tua tinggal di sebuah perkebunan/area di sebelah timur Pegunungan Kentucky bersama cucu laki-lakinya. Setiap pagi Sang kakek bangun pagi dan duduk dekat perapian membaca Alkitab.
Sang cucu ingin menjadi seperti kakeknya dan mencoba menirunya seperti yang disaksikannya setiap hari.
Suatu hari ia bertanya pada kakeknya : “ Kakek, aku coba membaca Al-kitab sepertimu tapi aku tak bisa memahaminya, dan walaupun ada sedikit yang aku pahami segera aku lupa begitu aku selesai membaca dan menutupnya. Jadi apa gunanya membaca Allitab jika tak memahami maknanya ?

ANDAI KU TAHU

Nak tidur da tadi, but gara-gara nda dapat tidur, so sy dengar-dengarlah lagu dlm handphone sy yang nda berapa canggih ni..

Suddenly a song awoke my, especially my inner-self. An old song but the lyrics really touched me. The song entitled andai ku tahu by ungu. I  personally believed that everyone (no matter which religions), have faith for the salvation from the Above, right? As for me, I really believe that someday, we will face HIM, the Creator/savior our Almighty. 

BUT God, am I accepted? This must be your biggest question, isn't? Men, put your faith in HIM, claim the agreement and it will given to you. 

blah blah blah...
Guys, jom hayati lirik lagu andai ku tahu kat bawah ni, do you??

MGBU.....

Andai kutahu 
Kapan tiba ajalku 
Ku akan memohon 
Tuhan tolong panjangkan umurku 

Andai kutahu 
Kapan tiba masaku 
Ku akan memohon 
Tuhan jangan Kau ambil nyawaku 

Aku takut 
Akan semua dosa dosaku 
Aku takut 
Dosa yang terus membayangiku 

Andai kutahu 
MalaikatMu kan menjemputku 
Izinkan aku 
Mengucap kata tobat padaMu 
Aku takut 
Akan semua dosa dosaku 
Aku takut 
Dosa yang terus membayangiku 

Ampuni aku 
Dari segala dosa dosaku 
Ampuni aku 
Menangisku bertobat padaMu 

Aku manusia 
Yang takut neraka 
Namun aku juga 
Tak pantas di surga

Andai kutahu 
Kapan tiba ajalku 
Izinkan aku
Mengucap kata tobat padaMu 

Aku takut 
Akan semua dosa dosaku 
Aku takut 
Dosa yang terus membayangiku

Ampuni aku 
Dari segala dosa dosaku 
Ampuni aku 
Menangisku bertobat padaMu 

My dear friends, have you talk to HIM today? let us pray and seeks for HIS forgiveness..because, He was so good, and love all of us. No matter who, where, why and how..HE just love us since the first human, our great great great grandfather created. Thanks God, for giving us this life.
