When our most precious thing in life, lost. The thing that we've been holding it tightly, lost. And we can not find it anymore,.. encourage our self to believe that GOD ables to make something new to replace as His Thought from nothing. Because GOD can make anything from nothing.

--Yunike Andreas

Make your Decision

2009-11-05T19:28:00.001-08:00

Whatever the problem or situation, decision is always better than doubt and indecision. For example, if you have had a quarrel with someone, it is much easier to decide to apologize than it is to stay angry and be filled with unforgiveness, bitterness and resentment while you are waiting for the other person to apologize to you.

Be a peacemaker and you will have a lot of joy.

Do you lost your joy ?

2009-10-28T18:08:00.001-07:00

If you are unhappy and have lost your joy because of something you desire but don’t have, I encourage you not to allow that desire to dominate you.

Whatever you do have, you should be in control of it and never allow it to control you.

--Joyce Meyer--

The Truth in you

2009-09-25T03:02:00.001-07:00

You don’t have to be surprised if someone reject you because your kindness or your truthfulness in Christ, because world doesn’t know the Truth and the Truth is not from the world. Just stay in the Truth because The Truth only who give you a LIFE.

Jesus says “ I am The Way, The Truth and The Life…”

you become as God's Word

2009-09-09T19:53:00.000-07:00

God gave His Word to Moses that Moses was a deliverer of Israel. And as God’s Word, Moses became.

Thus, as what God ever give His Word to you ( or you get apocalypse from Him about who you are according to His sight), you should become.

Ps. Sonny Zakaria

Serve the LORD JESUS

2009-09-01T18:27:00.000-07:00

Truly, if we do really have desire to serve LORD. There is one thing that we have to always keep in our life. And can not be without it. Romans 12 : 11 says

¹¹Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.

Thus, keep your spiritual fervor, and after that you are in the right way, ready to serve Him.

Keep your spirit up!!

The righteous' ways

2009-08-30T07:33:00.000-07:00

The righteous' ways which depend their life on LORD, trust in the LORD, would keep raise as the sun keep raise unto the perfect day in all things. Because interventions of LORD's sovereignty. Even, LORD can change the worst and terrible situations to be a big chance for us to fastest-rising.

Proverbs 4:18 But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.

Jeremiah 17:5 Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.
17:6 For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited.
17:7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.
17:8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.

Obedience is seed

2009-08-26T03:12:00.000-07:00

Every Obedience that we did in the past, even it seems nothing and gives us nothing, but in truth is God has been keeping and holding it’s fruits (that we should have had it) for now everytime we need it.

Because every obedience is seeds and we definitely would have it’s fruits. And also with it’s contrary. That every disobedience, rebellion, and the lust of the flesh we did are seeds and we definitely would have it’s fruits.

See Galatians 6 : 7-10

Do not Fear !

2009-08-17T08:04:00.000-07:00

When God at your side you can not lose,
Without God you can not win.
Do we fear?
" Do not fear anything except The Lord Almighty. He alone is The Holy One. If you fear Him, you need fear nothing else. He will keep you safe." Isaiah 8 : 12-14a

The lust of the flesh

2009-07-04T07:26:00.000-07:00

One characteristic of The lust of the flesh is thought that against the Truth of The Lord and doubt about His Word and His promises.

Forget your past

When you regret your disobediences to Him in the past, disobediences that make you feel regret so deep...

Then no more regret. For The Lord has given us a brand new day, new land.Amen!

Making Decision

2009-05-08T22:42:00.000-07:00

When we're making decision, at the same time we are :

-learning the situation, knowing the reason of decision

-Passing the uncertain condition, or live for nothing (have no purpose), make sure there would be no regret

-learning to have certain attitude, stand at attention

-learning to determine next step

-learning to take risk

-learning to be mature

Job 12:13 With HIM is wisdom and strength, HE hath counsel and understanding.

Job 28:18 No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of wisdom is above rubies.

Job 28:28 And unto man HE said, Behold, the fear of the LORD, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.

Psalms 111:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.

Proverbs 1 :7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Proverbs 2:6 For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of HIS mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.

Proverbs 3:19 The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath HE established the heavens.

8:11 For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.

8:12 I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.

8:13 The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.

8:14 Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength.

8:15 By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.

8:16 By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth.

8:18 Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness.

8:19 My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.

8:20 I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment:

Make your decision with wisdom from Him and fear of Him.

His Time

2009-05-06T08:39:00.000-07:00

The Lord knows what time is best for us as well. If you are waiting for answered prayer or the fulfilment of one of His promises, do not give up. If you think He has forgotten you, think again. When the fullness of time is right for you, He will show up - and His brilliant timing will amaze you!

Pray

2009-05-01T19:38:00.000-07:00

When you feel slack to take your prayer time , thus the mean time , the very right time that you must take time to pray. Force your self to pray.

Never ever let enemy slip into your life, give you a tepid in your spirit, give you unwillingness to responsible about taking care relationship with God.

Never ever let enemy slip into you make you careless, inattentive with HIS will and make you become easy to be attack by enemy (devil and evil).

The truth is just because we pray, we protect all of our aspects of life. More we pray in right way, more closer we are to fulfill His great plans in us.

Pray in right way would make something happened. If nothing happened, it seems like something wrong with how we pray, or maybe we have prayed but not according to His will.

Pray in right way would change your life. For HE can guarantee 100%.

One day, Satan and Jesus talking....

2009-02-23T23:29:00.000-08:00

One day, Satan and Jesus talking. Satan just have been chased away from Eden. And satan felt bored.
"Yes, Lord, i just see whole world filled with men, I laid traps and my lures. I'm sure they can not prevent it or push aside it. Sure, i would get them all as mine..!"

Jesus asked him. " What will you do to them?
Satan answered, "Uh, i would be happy,.. i'll teach them how to get married quickly and divorce, how to hate others, how to drunk, to be prig, smoking, curse others, how to make weapon, bomb, and how to kill others. I would really be happy!!"

Jesus said, " And what would you do after you teach them all of its?"

Satan answered proudly. "Uh, i would kill them all."

Jesus asked him, "Then, how much price must be paid to redeem them all?"

Satan frowned, "Uh, You must don't want them all, They all would be terrible..Look! You take them all, and afterward, they'll hate You. Nothing good with them.They will spit You, curse You, even kill You. You don't want them. You would regret for want them!!"

Once more,Jesus asked him "how much the price?"

Satan frowned again, "All of blood, all of tears, and all of Your life."

Jesus answered firmly ,"Ok"
Then He paid the price.
---------

Is that funny, how man easily throwing Jesus then ask why world seems like a hell ?

Is that funny, how someone blurted, I believe in Jesus, but keep living in Satan's ways ?

Is that funny, how man more worry about what people would think about him, even more than what Jesus thinks about him ?

If you have invited Him into your heart, then act like sons of God, act like His want.

For instance, if you have been promoted to new higher position in your office, you have to act and work as you've supposed to do. If you have been promoted from ordinary staff to supervisor, at that time, you have new responsibility, which if you do it well, then you'll get as you've done. And on the contrary, you'll back to staff position, descending power.
Even more than that, If you have invited Him as your Lord, you are in Him, then act like sons of God. Because you can not act like before, for Jesus has paid all the price to get you, to redeem you, You are not longer yours. Live the way of Truth. Because His ways bringing life for you. And there is no life without in Him. And on the contrary, it is same that you make Him out from your life, because you want your own way, and want your wants only be done, not Him. yourself want reign.And not allowed He reign.
-Yunike Andreas

Romans 8 : 9 But you are not living the life of the flesh, you are living the life of the Spirit, if the Spirit of God dwells within you [directs and controls you]. But if anyone does not possess the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His [he does not belong to Christ, is not truly a child of God].-Amplified Bible

1 Corinthians 7: 22 For he who as a slave was summoned in [to union with] the Lord is a freedman of the Lord, just so he who was free when he was called is a bond servant of Christ (the Messiah).
23You were bought with a price [purchased with a preciousness and paid for by Christ]; then do not yield yourselves up to become [in your own estimation] slaves to men [but consider yourselves slaves to Christ]. -Amplified Bible

Matthew 12 : 50 For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother!

Romans 8 : 14 because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. 15For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship.[g] And by him we cry, "Abba,[h] Father." 16The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children. 17Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.-Amplified Bible

Race for us

2009-02-23T06:58:00.000-08:00

Because strength is not only when we can reach, but even more about when we can give. Strength is not only when we can win the competition but even more when we rise from fall and continue keeping our track in race.

1 Corinthians 9:24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.
9:25 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.
9:26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:
9:27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.

1 Timothy 6:12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses

Hebrews 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

God with us

2009-02-18T06:38:00.000-08:00

When our life be focused and dedicated to fulfil His plans , we would see God with us obviously. Even more true.
Genesis 39:2 And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
39:3 And his master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand.
-Yunike Andreas

in order to fulfil His plan

2009-02-06T22:36:00.000-08:00

When we born, we have basic character and temperament. sanguine,phlegmatic,choleric,or melancholic. But - please notice this - in order to fulfil His plan through us and His wants, actually, we have to chase after having Christ's character in us.
I John 2:6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.

Matthew 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

for instance, it is ok you are be born as melancholic, but it doesnt mean you will die as melancholic.

To fulfil His great plan in us, we have to be changed. Having His character. Changed from very human into divine life or character.

John 15:1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
15:2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
15:3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
15:4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
15:6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
15:7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
15:8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.

Christ in you.
II Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

Leadership

2009-02-04T07:19:00.000-08:00

if you can lead your self to be what God wants you to be.Then you would lead others in right way.At the same time, you would understand the true meaning of leadership.
Yunike Andreas

Look your future

2009-02-01T04:57:00.000-08:00

Do not look your future by the sight of your past or what are you today. Not by sight of what you have now, what you can do now and what you have not or can not do. Look your future by His sight.

Gideon was a fainthearted. But somehow angel visited him and told Him message from Lord of lords.
Judges 6:12 And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him, and said unto him, The LORD is with thee, thou mighty man of valour.

But when Gideon heard what God said about him. He believed on that Word. Gideon changed his life and lived as what God has told about him. And finally he did really become a great man.

Judges 8:22 Then the men of Israel said unto Gideon, Rule thou over us, both thou, and thy son, and thy son's son also: for thou hast delivered us from the hand of Midian.

God is the source of everything you have

2009-01-29T06:18:00.000-08:00

What good is success if you are not in the will of God? When God gives you something, He wants you to use it for His glory. So when God gives you His blessings, be sure to read the instructions that go with them - only then will you please Him and find fulfilment! And one more thing, always remember that God is the source of everything you have - and ever will have

lose ourself in a great cause

2009-01-23T23:05:00.000-08:00

In order to be successful in any kind of undertaking, I think the main thing is for one to grow to the point where he completely forgets himself; that is, to lose himself in a great cause.

Booker T. Washington

To be ourselves

2009-01-23T07:03:00.000-08:00

Sometimes we are afraid to be our selves. We forget it.But, realize, receive yourself as well as Lord does to you. Because He says you are wonderful and He always mean it. Because He says He has given you great life. Believe it. And live it.

What your goal in life ?

2009-01-11T08:02:00.000-08:00

The meaning of life is not to gain prosperity, like most of us think, but develop and also train our personality,character and spirituality.

Christmas

2008-12-25T00:57:00.000-08:00

Jesus is Better than Santa

Santa lives at the North Pole.

JESUS is everywhere.

Santa rides in a sleigh

JESUS rides on the wind and walks on the water.

Santa comes but once a year

JESUS is an ever present help.

Santa fills your stockings with goodies

JESUS supplies all your needs.

Santa comes down your chimney uninvited

JESUS stands at your door and knocks... and then enters your heart.

You have to stand in line to see Santa

JESUS is as close as the mention of His name.

Santa lets you sit on his lap

JESUS lets you rest in His arms.

Santa doesn't know your name, all he can say is "Hi little boy or girl, What's your name?"

JESUS knew our name before we did. Not only does He know our name, He knows our address too. He knows our history and future and He even knows how many hairs are on our heads.

Santa has a belly like a bowl full of jelly

JESUS has a heart full of love.

All Santa can offer is HO HO HO

JESUS offers health, help and hope.

Santa says "You better not cry"

JESUS says "Cast all your cares on me for I care for you.

Santa's little helpers make toys

JESUS makes new life, mends wounded hearts, repairs broken homes and builds mansions.

Santa may make you chuckle but

JESUS gives you joy that is your strength.

While Santa puts gifts under your tree

JESUS became our gift and died on the tree.

It's obvious there is really no comparison.

We need to remember WHO Christmas is all about.

We need to put Christ back in Christmas.

Jesus is still the reason for the season.

May the Lord Bless and Watch over you and your loved ones this Christmas 2008

And may He prosper and bless the work of your hands in the New Year.

Receive His promises

Prayer Request From President Bush in China

2008-12-10T04:21:00.000-08:00

The e-mail below was written by Lindsey Yeskoo, the wife of Paul Yeskoo, a Christian Foreign Service Officer serving in Shanghai, and details her experience of meeting the President when he was in China a month or two ago. It underlines why we need to be faithful in praying for the President in particular and all our national leaders.

Dear Family!

It is a dull, polluted Monday morning here in Shanghai and we await news of President Bush's safe arrival back in Washington D.C. He just left here less than twelve hours ago. Everyone is breathing a sigh of relief that no terrorist incidents occurred here over the past days. Security was tight, as you will have seen on TV. On Friday afternoon, a crowd of 600 consulate/embassy staff + families were invited to a reception in the Atrium of the Shanghai/Portman complex, at 3:15pm, to meet both GW and Colin Powell. We waited a LONG time (due to all the security we had to go through), but our anticipation outweighed our tired bodies and sore feet. [We had left the house just after 10:30am in order to do all this!]. Finally, Bush was announced, and it was SO INCREDIBLE to see him walk in with Powell and take the podium before us, especially with all the recent events. Quite emotional for us all, actually.

He gave a tremendous, candid yet heartening speech, and then was escorted down to the floor to meet the crowds. Everyone was of course behind a tight rope, and there were Secret Service men

and security everywhere. There was no way he could meet all, but he sure did a great job of shaking hands with as many as possible.Colin Powell followed immediately behind him; he did not seem so engaging, surprisingly.

Maybe the Secretary was (understandably) tired and distracted after his previous trips to Pakistan and India.

Anyway, the three kids and I were in the very front row, and had an extraordinary experience with President Bush. Bush came along and shook Chris's hand first, noticing that he was all dressed up, and said, "You're looking sharp today, boy!" Chris was SO PROUD and SO PLEASED at the recognition (if only GW had known what a struggle I'd had to get him to wear a jacket and a tie!). Then he shook my hand and I told him how much we value his strong leadership at this time, that we are 100% behind him. He went on and took the girls' hands and talked to them.

Then I leaned over and mentioned that we pray for him every day. He stopped dead in his tracks (a definite security NO-NO... the SS men got REALLY antsy). He searched my eyes as if to see how much I really meant what I was saying. Then he gave me the most amazing and unexpected personal response, Paul said for a good 20-30 seconds.

He told me what the effect has been on him, waking up every day of the crisis and knowing within himself that he is being faithfully prayed for. He almost pleaded with me not to give up, but to persist with it, for this is only the beginning. Then he looked me even more squarely in my eyes, and gave me a very personal and specific series of instructions about the very things he most needs prayer for, on behalf of himself and of the nation.

He urged me that the threat against America is very great, and that one of our focuses in prayer to God needs to be "the shielding of America"... and wisdom for him as he leads the country through this time. I don't know why, but as I looked straight back at him directly into his face, he let me see for those brief moments a tiny part of the agony he himself is going through, and the weariness. He finished the conversation by putting his hand on my right shoulder, almost as if it were the close of a commissioning, but affectionate too in a brotherly sort of way. People were pressing in at this point and almost knocking the four of us right into Bush. Many of them were the Chinese staff who work for Paul, who would not have understood ANY of that conversation; but others caught snippets and came afterwards to ask me WHAT we had been talking about. The President moved on.

Needless to say, the whole experience was unforgettable. I cannot begin to tell you how deeply it has affected me. Certainly, I do not think I have ever prayed for a leader or government or nation (or world!) so extensively as I have done since then. It was really quite
an unusual and unexpected and powerful encounter."

What a blessing to have a professing Christian as President. Please take a moment after you read this to pray for him. He truly does have the weight of the world on his shoulders. Pray that God will sustain him and give him wisdom and discernment in his decisions. Pray for his protection and that of his family. After you have

prayed, send this to everyone on your e-mail list. Our President needs Christians around the world to be praying for him.

As this makes the e-mail rounds, eventually there could literally be people praying for him 24/7 . This was good, very good.

Whatever your pain

2008-12-03T05:27:00.000-08:00

Here are some quotes from Anne Dela Viña. She offers these to encourage those who are experiencing unexplainable trials:

Perhaps you may stumble, perhaps even fall, but God's always ready, to answer your call.

He knows every heartache, sees every tear, a word from His lips can calm every fear.

Your sorrows may linger throughout the night, but suddenly vanish at dawns early light.

The Savior is waiting somewhere above, to give you His grace and send you His love.

Whatever your cross, whatever your pain, "God always sends rainbows .... after the rain.

You know everything of me, my dear Lord

2008-11-21T20:02:00.000-08:00

You know the deepest of my heart, dear Lord. Your love never leave me. You never leave me. In the time of trouble,when i feel low , depressive,or time when i got a victory, i know that You always with me.

I put my trust in Him. I believe Lord can set right every pieces into the right shape according to His great plans.

Our Land

2008-11-13T07:25:00.000-08:00

Pray For The Nation by True Worshippers

I pray for the people
I pray for the nation
For us to bow before You
And humble ourselves and pray
You hear our prayer from Heaven.
You heal our land today
You turn our hearts
From all the wicked ways

I kneel right now before You
I lift my hands towards the heavens
I pray yes i pray for the mercy and grace over us

You’re seated on the highest throne
You’re lifted up above all things
Exalted and adored.
I worship you in awe.
Be glorified and magnified
There’s now no more condemnation.
Over this land no more.
There’s now no more no more curses
Over our lives over our family over our church

Today
We humble our selves and pray
( You hear our prayer from heaven )
We turn from our wicked ways
( You heal our land today )

They so blessed me with this song.

When i hear this song, again and again, replay it more,..i more love this lyrics..It is God's heart for us to be His hand in our land. We can pray for our land. Furthermore, we must pray not in words only, but everyday, pray with our acts, our daily life. I believe, when we try harder to be what God want us to be, His grace helps us to do everything for His great plans in our land. Let it happened through our life, our daily life, our words, our actions (these are become our real prayer)...to God be the glory.

Arrogance

2008-11-12T07:30:00.000-08:00

Today, when i was talking with Him, i reviewed my day, i found that, sometimes i act wrong as christian.Christian means Christ's followers. Follow His rules, His Words and His lifestyle.

When i was talking with my friend, i tried to show up whatever things best of my acts with wrong motivation. After told friend about that, i feel accepted by him/her. That's it. I became too proud about myself. Pedantically.Unconsciously, say in my mind : that's all what i have done.

Tonight, i just realize it again, God would feel a heavy heart. Again, if i do the same bad thing tomorrow.

Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
3:6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
3:7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.

Because all good things come from HIM only. Not from our own. I just realize it, thats we name it arrogance.

Proverbs 6:16 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
6:17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
6:18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
6:19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

Your daily routine activities

2008-11-11T07:41:00.000-08:00

When you feel suppressed with your daily routine activities, just consider, that all things that He let happened, for our goodness. Just thankful. Do it heartily everything as for Him not for man. He gives us bright future.Please read verses below carefully;

Psalms 97 :11 Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.
Proverbs 4 :18 But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.
Matthew 25:21 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
25:22 He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them.
25:23 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

How do you manage your time

2008-11-08T21:55:00.000-08:00

Our progress or deterioriation is determined by the way we spend our time. Without obedience to the leading of the Holy Spirit, time can be the worst enemy that will entrap our lives.-dynamic, voice of the spirit

Psalms 90:12 So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

Renew our mind

2008-11-07T22:56:00.000-08:00

We need to renew our minds with the Word of God; memorizing and understanding the Word will give us understanding of how to apply it in our live, while at the same time crucifying the flesh with all its lust and desires (Rome 8:5-17). - dynamic, voice of the Spirit

Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Ephesians 4:20 But ye have not so learned Christ;
4:21 If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:
4:22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
4:23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
4:24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
4:25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
4:26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
4:27 Neither give place to the devil.

Direction from Him

By following the direction of His Spirit in our daily lives, time will be a very significant tool for us to do and accomplish many things for Him

I Corinthians 10:23
All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.

Jesus First

2008-11-01T03:12:00.000-07:00

Ada seseorang yang tak punya makanan apapun untuk keluarganya. Ia masih punya bedil tua dan tiga butir peluru.
Jadi, ia putuskan untuk keluar dan menembak sesuatu untuk makan malam.
Saat menelusuri jalan, ia melihat seekor kelinci dan ia tembak kelinci itu tapi luput. Lalu ia melihat seekor bajing, dia tembak tapi juga luput lagi.
Ketika ia jalan lebih jauh lagi, dilihatnya seekor kalkun liar diatas pohon dan ia hanya punya sisa sebutir pelor, tapi terdengar olehnya suatu suara yang berkata begini "berdoalah dulu, bidik keatas dan tinggallah tetap terfokus."

Namun, pada saat bersamaan, ia melihat seekor rusa yang adalah lebih menguntungkan. Senapannya ia turunkan dan dibidiknya rusa itu. Tapi
lantas ia melihat ada ular berbisa diantara kakinya, siap-siap untuk mematuknya, jadi dia turunkan lebih kebawah lagi, mengarah untuk
menembak ular itu. Tetap, suara itu masih berkata kepadanya, "Aku bilang 'berdoalah dulu, bidik keatas dan tinggallah tetap terfokus.'" Jadi orang itu.
memutuskan untuk menuruti suara itu. Ia berdoa, lalu mengarahkan senapan itu tinggi keatas pohon, membidik dan menembak kalkun liar itu.
Peluru itu mental dari kalkun itu dan mematikan rusa. Pegangan senapan tua itu lepas, jatuh menimpa kepala si ular itu dan membunuhnya sekali. Dan, ketika senapan itu meletus, ia sendiri terpental kedalam kolam.
Saat ia berdiri untuk melihat sekelilingnya, ia dapatkan banyak ikan didalam semua kantungnya, seekor rusa, dan, seekor kalkun untuk bekal makanannya.
Ular (Iblis) mati konyol sebab orang itu mendengarkan suara Allah.

Berdoalah sebelum kau lakukan apapun, bidik dan arahkan keatas pada tujuanmu, dan tinggallah terpusat pada Allah.
Sebar luaskan ini agar ada seseorang lain yang bakal terberkati.

Jangan kau dikecil hatikan oleh siapapun mengenai masa lampaumu. Masa lampau itu memang tepatnya begitu - "sudah lewat, sudah lampau."
Hidupilah setiap hari sehari demi sehari. Dan ingatlah bahwa hanya Allah yang tahu masa depan kita dan bahwa Ia tidak akan membiarkanmu
melewati daya tahanmu.

Janganlah memandang pada sesamamu untuk meminta berkat melainkan lihat dan bergantungkah pada Tuhan. Ia bisa membuka pintu2 bagimu
yang cuma Ia saja yang bisa lakukan. Pintu2 yang bukan kau masuki dengan menyelinap, melainkan yang hanya Ia yang sudah persiapkan bagi
dan demi kamu. Jadi, tunggulah, tenanglah, sabarlah: dahulukan Allah dan lain-lainnya akan menyusul dengan sendirinya.

Tetapi carilah dahulu Kerajaan Allah dan kebenarannya, maka semuanya itu akan ditambahkan kepadamu (Matius 6:33).

GBU all.

Have you ever......

2008-10-30T21:55:00.000-07:00

when you relax at home, have you ever think just across in your mind to do something for your beloved people? That is God is speaking to you thru His Holy Spirit.

when you feel so sad, dissapointed by something, but there is no people you can share with. Does it ever happened to you? That is, God wants you speak with Him only. He is the One you can share with, and gives you great answers.

when you are thinking someone you know, but long time not see, and somehow, you meet him/her or receive a phone call from them. That is God's power. In Him there is no coincidental.

Have you ever receive something you didnt expect ,something you thought you can not afford for it ? That is, God knows everything inside your heart.

Have you ever been in dilemma situation, dont know how to pass through it, thinking blank for solution, how to cure the wound.. ? That is when God want you depend only on Him. You will found brighter day after that, you will found many lessons from that situations that take you to next level of your mature life.

Grace

2008-10-28T18:11:00.000-07:00

The law works fear and wrath; grace works hope and mercy. - Marthin Luther
Matthew 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Romans 5:17 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)

Godly lifestyle

Discipline will help us build a godly lifestyle that will draw His grace to our lives, thrugh which we will inherit our spiritual position (2 Timothy 3).

Power of decision

2008-10-26T08:38:00.000-07:00

One of the works of Christ on the Cross was restoring the power of decision making into the believers so the devil has no more power to withhold them; his only strategy now is to affect their minds and feelings so they become indecisive (Phil. 1:9-10). -dynamic,voice of the spirit

Great dreams

2008-10-22T05:56:00.000-07:00

We grow great by dreams. All big men are dreamers. They see things in the soft haze of a spring day or in the red fire of a long winter's evening. Some of us let these great dreams die, but others nourish and protect them; nurse them through bad days till they bring them to the sunshine and light, which comes always to those who sincerely hope that their dreams will come true.
Do your best. Do your portion, then He'll do His rest.Believe Him.Trust Him.Hope in Him.Never give up.Have a sincere heart.See that God is good all the time.

God will manifest His sovereignty

2008-10-17T21:42:00.000-07:00

Seseorang dapat dikatakan telah menerima sebuah pewahyuan jika kebenaran itu menjadi sebegitu hidup dan nyata baginya, sehingga iapun merasakan adanya dorongan untuk mulai bertindak guna merealisasikan apa yang telah ia terima tersebut. Saat ia melangkah dalam ketaatan, kedaulatan Tuhanpun akan memanifestasikan diri (Kej. 6:9 - 7:24).

A revelation is the truth that has become a reality in our lives and motivates us to act upon it. The moment we step out in obedience, God will manifest His sovereignty (Gen. 6:9 - 7:24).

Rencana Tuhan indah pada waktuNya

2008-10-09T04:27:00.000-07:00

Forwarded from Sandri- thanks buddy
Taken from Renungan Harian

Ada seorang anak laki-laki yang berambisi bahwa Suatu hari nanti ia akan menjadi jenderal Angkatan Darat. Anak itu pandai dan memiliki ciri-ciri yang lebih daripada cukup untuk dapat membawa nya kemanapun ia mau. Untuk itu ia bersyukur kepada Tuhan, oleh karena ia adalah seorang anak yang takut akan Tuhan dan ia selalu berdoa agar supaya suatu hari nanti impiannya itu akan menjadi kenyataan.

Sayang sekali, ketika saatnya tiba baginya untuk bergabung dengan Angkatan Darat, ia ditolak oleh karena memiliki telapak kaki rata. Setelah berulang kali berusaha, ia kemudian melepaskan hasratnya untuk menjadi jenderal dan untuk hal itu ia mempersalahkan Tuhan yang tidak menjawab doanya. Ia merasa seperti berada seorang diri, dengan perasaan yang kalah, dan di atas segalanya, rasa amarah yang belum pernah dialaminya sebelumnya.

Amarah yang mulai ditujukannya terhadap Tuhan. Ia tahu bahwa Tuhan ada, namun tidak mempercayaiNya lagi sebagai seorang sahabat, tetapi sebagai seorang tiran (penguasa yang lalim). Ia tidak pernah lagi berdoa atau melangkahkan kakinya ke dalam gereja. Ketika orang-orang seperti biasanya berbicara tentang Tuhan yang Maha Pengasih, maka ia akan mengejek dan menanyakan pertanyaan-pertanya an rumit yang akan membuat orang-orang percaya itu kebingungan.

Ia kemudian memutuskan untuk masuk perguruan tinggi dan menjadi dokter. Dan begitulah, ia menjadi dokter dan beberapa tahun kemudian menjadi seorang ahli bedah yang handal. Ia menjadi pelopor di dalam pembedahan yang berisiko tinggi dimana pasien tidak memiliki kemungkinan hidup lagi apabila tidak ditangani oleh ahli bedah muda ini. Sekarang, semua pasiennya memiliki kesempatan, suatu hidup yang baru.

Selama bertahun-tahun, ia telah menyelamatkan beribu-ribu jiwa, baik anak-anak maupun orang dewasa. Para orang tua sekarang dapat tinggal dengan berbahagia bersama dengan putra atau putri mereka yang dilahirkan kembali, dan para ibu yang sakit parah sekarang masih dapat mengasihi keluarganya. Para ayah yang hancur hati oleh karena tak seorangpun yang dapat memelihara keluarganya setelah kematiannya, telah diberikan kesempatan baru.

Setelah ia menjadi lebih tua maka ia melatih para ahli bedah lain yang bercita-cita tinggi dengan tekhnik bedah barunya, dan lebih banyak lagi jiwa yang diselamatkan. Pada suatu hari ia menutup matanya dan pergi menjumpai Tuhan. Di situ, masih penuh dengan kebencian, pria itu bertanya kepada Tuhan mengapa doa-doanya tidak pernah dijawab, dan Tuhan berkata, "Pandanglah ke langit, anakKu, dan lihatlah impianmu menjadi kenyataan."

Di sana, ia dapat melihat dirinya sendiri sebagai seorang anak laki-laki yang berdoa untuk bisa menjadi seorang prajurit. Ia melihat dirinya masuk Angkatan Darat dan menjadi prajurit. Di sana ia sombong dan ambisius, dengan pandangan mata yang seakan-akan berkata bahwa suatu hari nanti ia akan memimpin sebuah resimen. Ia kemudian dipanggil untuk mengikuti peperangannya yang pertama, akan tetapi ketika ia berada di kamp di garis depan, sebuah bom jatuh dan membunuhnya. Ia dimasukkan ke dalam peti kayu untuk dikirimkan kembali kepada keluarganya. Semua ambisinya kini hancur berkeping-keping saat orang tuanya menangis dan terus menangis.

Lalu Tuhan berkata, "Sekarang lihatlah bagaimana rencanaKu telah terpenuhi sekalipun engkau tidak setuju." Sekali lagi ia memandang ke langit. Di sana ia memperhatikan kehidupannya, hari demi hari dan berapa banyak jiwa yang telah diselamatkannya. Ia melihat senyum di wajah pasiennya dan di wajah anggota keluarganya dan kehidupan baru yang telah diberikannya kepada mereka dengan menjadi seorang ahli bedah.

Kemudian di antara para pasiennya, ia melihat seorang anak laki-laki yang juga memiliki impian untuk menjadi seorang prajurit kelak, namun sayangnya dia terbaring sakit. Ia melihat bagaimana ia telah menyelamatkan nyawa anak laki-laki itu melalui pembedahan yang dilakukannya. Hari ini anak laki-laki itu telah dewasa dan menjadi seorang jenderal. Ia hanya dapat menjadi jenderal setelah ahli bedah itu menyelamatkan nyawanya.

Sampai di situ, Ia tahu bahwa Tuhan ternyata selalu berada bersama dengannya. Ia mengerti bagaimana Tuhan telah memakainya sebagai alatNya untuk menyelamatkan beribu-ribu jiwa, dan memberikan masa depan kepada anak laki-laki yang ingin menjadi prajurit itu. (Diambil dari Inspirational Christian Stories oleh Vincent Magro-Attard)

Untuk dapat melihat kehendak Tuhan digenapkan di dalam hidup anda, anda harus mengikuti Tuhan dan bukan mengharapkan Tuhan yang mengikuti anda.
(Dave Meyer, Life In The Word, Juni 1997)

"Ia membuat segala sesuatu indah pada waktunya.... " (Pengkotbah 3:11)

Apa yang kau alami kini, mungkin tak dapat engkau mengerti, Satu hal tanamkan di hati, indah semua yang Tuhan beri. Tuhan-mu, tak akan memberi ular beracun pada yang minta roti, Cobaan yang engkau alami takkan melebihi kekuatanmu.

Out of our comfort zone

2008-10-09T03:54:00.000-07:00

If we are growing, we will always going to be out of our comfort zone.-John Maxwell

Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:
How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?
Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man. - Proverbs

Small things

2008-09-30T21:43:00.000-07:00

Setelah peristiwa 11 September, sebuah perusahaan mengundang karyawan
dari perusahaan lain yang selamat, sedangkan sebagian besar meninggal
saat terjadinya serangan atas WTC - untuk menceritakan pengalamannya.
Pada pertemuan pagi itu, pimpinan kemanan menceritakan kisah bagaimana
mereka bisa selamat …
dan semua kisah itu adalah hanyalah mengenai : HAL-HAL YANG KECIL.

Kepala kemanan perusahaan selamat pada hari itu karena mengantar anaknya
hari pertama masuk TK.
Karyawan yang lain masih hidup karena hari itu adalah gilirannya membawa
kue untuk murid di kelas anaknya.
Seorang wanita terlambat datang karena alarm jamnya tidak berbunyi tepat
waktu.
Seorang karyawan terlambat karena terjebak di NJ Turnpike saat terjadi
kecelakaan lalu lintas.
Seorang karyawan ketinggalan bus.
Seorang karyawan menumpahkan makanan di bajunya sehingga perlu waktu untuk
berganti pakaian.
Seorang karyawan mobilnya tidak bisa dihidupkan.
Seorang karyawan masuk ke dalam rumah kembali untuk menerima telpon yang
berdering.
Seorang karyawan mempunyai anak yang bermalas-malasan sehingga tidak bisa
siap tepat waktu
untuk berangkat bersama-sama.
Seorang karyawan tidak memperoleh taxi.

Sedangkan satu hal yang menahan saya sendiri adalah : sebuah sepatu baru.
Saya memakai sepatu baru pagi itu, dan berangkat kerja dengan bersemangat.
Tetapi sebelum sampai di kantor (WTC), sepatu itu menyebabkan luka di
tumit.
Saya berhenti di sebuah toko obat untuk membeli plester.
Inilah yang menyebabkan saya bisa tetap hidup sampai hari ini.

Sekarang, jika saya terjebak dalam kemacetan lalu lintas, ketinggalan
lift,
harus masuk ke rumah lagi untuk menjawab telpon …
dan semua HAL KECIL yang mengganggu - sekarang ini saya sangat memahami,
bahwa Tuhan benar-benar menginginkan saya berada di sini untuk saat ini
…

Suatu pagi jika saudara merasa semuanya terlihat sangat kacau, anak-anak
lambat berpakaian,
saudara tidak bisa menemukan kunci mobil, selalu sampai di perempatan saat
lampu merah menyala;
jangan terburu-buru marah atau frustrasi, karena TUHAN sedang bekerja
untuk menjaga kehidupan anda!

Kiranya Tuhan selalu memberkati saudara dengan semua hal-hal kecil yang
tampaknya mengganggu -
dan semoga saudara mengingat akan maksud dari semua peristiwa kecil itu
terjadi.

Simple action

2008-09-29T05:48:00.000-07:00

Success comes from taking the initiative and following up... persisting... eloquently expressing the depth of your love. What simple action could you take today to produce a new momentum toward success in your life?

Happiness

2008-09-28T20:47:00.000-07:00

You have it easily in your power to increase the sum total of this world's happiness now. How? By giving a few words of sincere appreciation to someone who is lonely or discouraged. Perhaps you will forget tomorrow the kind words you say today, but the recipient may cherish them over a lifetime

Take Action

"Action may not always bring happiness, but there is no happiness without action." by Benjamin Disraeli

lifestyle

2008-09-24T05:51:00.000-07:00

Suatu tindakan dosa atau ketidaktaatan selalu akan menjerat dan mendorong kita untuk melakukan tindakan dosa yang berikutnya untuk menutupi dosa yang lama. Hal itu akan terus mengikat sampai kita sungguh-sungguh memutuskan untuk bertobat dan mengubah gaya hidup kita (2 Sam. 11-12).

One sin or disobedience that is not dealt properly always leads to another sin, in order to conceal the previous one. We can only break this bondage with our repentance and a change of lifestyle (2 Sam. 11-12).

Disobedience

2008-09-24T05:50:00.001-07:00

Setiap tindak ketidaktaatan akan selalu membuat kita berputar-putar dalam ketidakpastian dan menjerumuskan kita ke dalam berbagai pergumulan tanpa henti.

Disobedience will always lead us to drift in uncertainty and to unending strife.

Strives

2008-09-24T05:47:00.000-07:00

Segala jenis pergumulan yang sering dialami oleh kebanyakan orang percaya akan lenyap begitu saja ketika orang yang bersangkutan memutuskan untuk menyelaraskan seluruh area kehidupannya dengan prinisp kebenaran yang sudah ia ketahui. Dengan menghidupi prinsip kebenaran, ia bagai hidup dalam dunia yang berbeda dibanding dengan orang lain (Roma 8).

All kinds of strives that many believers suffer will disappear the moment they put every area of their lives in line with the truth, because the truth alone has the access to a whole new dimension of life in the Spirit (Romans 8).

Kesuksesan kepemimpinan kita sangat dipengaruhi oleh keberadaan orang-orang yang ada di sekeliling kita. Pemimpin yang handal tahu menilai orang-orang yang akan ia rekrut (Hak 7).

The success of our leadership is determined by the people that surround us. A skillful leader will recruit the right people (Judges 7).- voice of the spirit

Leadership

2008-09-24T05:43:00.000-07:00

Ciri seseorang yang memiliki sifat dasar kepemimpinan yang kuat adalah orang tersebut dapat mengambil keputusan dengan benar untuk dirinya sendiri ataupun untuk orang lain. Mereka yang lemah dalam kepemimpinan selalu cenderung menunggu orang lain untuk mengambil keputusan bagi dirinya.

A man of a strong leadership is capable of making the right decision, both for himself or for other people. A man of a weak leadership is prone to wait for others to stand up and make the right decision for him.

Psalms 91:14-16

2008-09-19T09:28:00.000-07:00

Psalms 91:14-16 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

A friend

2008-09-18T18:42:00.001-07:00

A friend is a treasure. If we want friends, we must be friendly. Humans are social creatures—that is how God made us. Joy and fulfillment are found in the company of others. Giving, sharing and helping have rewards that go beyond dollars. If you have a friend, treasure him or her; if you are a friend, be a good one.

Your life change

2008-09-18T18:42:00.000-07:00

Your life does not change when your boss changes, when your friends change, when your parents change, when your partner changes, when your company changes. Your life changes when you change, when you go beyond your limiting beliefs, when you realize that you are the only one responsible for your life.

Frustration

2008-09-17T09:13:00.002-07:00

Perenungan, pengevaluasian diri, dan perencanaan untuk menata ulang hidup kita agar sesuai dengan prinsip firman dapat menjaga diri kita dari segala bentuk stres.

Meditation, self-evaluation, and planning to re-define our life according to the Word will keep us from all kinds of frustration.

Stres atau tekanan hidup selalu disebabkan karena tidak adanya keteraturan ilahi dalam salah satu area kehidupan orang percaya (1 Samuel 16:14-23).

Frustration happens due to the absence of divine order in one or more areas of a believer's life (1 Samuel 16:14-23).

Excellence

2008-09-17T09:13:00.001-07:00

Kita dapat meningkatkan kualitas hidup yang kita miliki dengan mengetahui dan bertindak untuk membenahi setiap alasan yang mendorong kita melakukan atau mengucapkan sesuatu.

By evaluating and aligning our motivation of speech and action, we are heading toward excellence. -voice of the spirit

Ministry

2008-09-17T09:13:00.000-07:00

Suatu aktivitas pelayanan yang dikerjakan dengan sikap hati yang salah justru akan mengubah sifat dasar pelayanan tersebut menjadi suatu momok yang dapat menelan sang pelayan Tuhan itu sendiri.

A ministry that is carried out with a wrong motivation will automatically alter the nature of the ministry that eventually will destroy the minister himself.

A dog named Faith

2008-09-12T07:34:00.000-07:00

Seekor anjing ini berjalan dengan hanya menggunakan 2 kaki saja, namanya Faith (Keyakinan). Faith lahir pada tahun 2002, sehari sebelum hari Natal. Pada waktu baru dilahirkan, Faith memiliki 3 kaki, yaitu 2 kaki belakang, dan 1 kaki depan. Satu kaki depannya akhirnya diamputasi karena bentuknya kecil dan tidak berkembang. Sejak dilahirkan, Faith tidak dapat berjalan selayaknya anjing yang normal, dia hanya bisa terbaring dengan lemah diatas lantai, dan menggerakkan tubuhnya dengan cara mengayuh dengan kedua kaki belakangnya. Bahkan induknya sendiripun ingin membunuh anaknya dikarenakan merasa anaknya tidak dapat berkembang seperti anjing yang normal.
。
Majikannya berpikir kalau Faith tidak akan bisa bertahan hidup, bahkan merencanakan untuk membiarkannya mati. Untungnya, ada sebuah keluarga Stringfellow (yang juga akhirnya menjadi majikan baru Faith sampai sekarang ini) menemukan Faith dan rela untuk merawatnya. Mereka bertekad untuk melatih Faith menjadi seekor anjing yang dapat berjalan. Keluarga ini memberinya nama Faith (Keyakinan). Mereka yakin akan ada suatu hari dimana Faith dapat berjalan!
，
Pertama-tama mereka meletakkan Faith diatas sebuah skateboard agar Faith dapat merasakan badannya bergerak. Kemudian mereka menggunakan selai kacang yang diletakkan di sebuah sendok untuk memancingnya agar mau melompat dan merebut selai kacang tersebut. Di keluarga itu juga terdapat seekor anjing lain yang memaksa Faith untuk mau bergerak. Keajaiban pun terjadi, Faith perlahan-lahan akhirnya dapat menggunakan kedua kaki belakangnya dengan gerakan melompat untuk bergerak maju ke depan. Dengan latihan yang terus menerus, Faith akhirnya dapat berjalan dengan kedua kaki selayaknya seorang manusia, dan proses latihan ini hanya membutuhkan waktu tidak sampai 6 bulan.

Faith sangat suka sekali berlari kemana saja, kemana saja dia pergi selalu menarik perhatian orang-orang di sekitarnya. Sebenarnya, Faith sudah mulai dikenal oleh orang-orang di berbagai belahan dunia. Pernah juga diliput oleh berbagai acara di televisi dan juga surat kabar, dan juga telah terbit sebuah buku berjudul "With a little Faith" yang menceritakan kisahnya. Bahkan sempat direncanakan untuk tampil sebagai bintang tamu di salah satu episode film Harry Potter.

Sekarang Jude Stringfellow (majikan Faith) tidak perlu lagi melatih Faith, karena telah merencanakan untuk membawa Faith pergi ke seluruh dunia untuk menyebarkan pesan "Tidak memiliki tubuh yang sempurna, juga dapat memiliki jiwa yang sempurna".

Manusia kadang mengalami hal-hal di dalam hidupnya yang tidak sesuai harapannya. Kadang, kita perlu merubah pikiran kita agar dapat merubah suasana hati kita.

Semoga artikel cerita ini dapat membawa suasana hati yang baru kepada teman-teman semuanya, menggunakan hati yang bersyukur dan puas untuk melewati setiap hari yang kita lewati dengan indah.

Jangan pernah berhenti untuk mengembangkan kemampuan diri kita, barulah dikatakan manusia yang memiliki semangat. Terimakasih! (forwarded by : anakbinusmilis:ivanphilosalim)

IT'S STRANGE ISN'T IT

2008-09-07T07:37:00.000-07:00

i've got an email with this message , i think its good message to us
1. Isn't it strange how a 20 dollar bill
seems like such a large amount when
you donate it to church, but such a small amount
when you go shopping?
or even to give back to Lord what is Lord's
Matthew 22:21 ...Then saith HE[Jesus] unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.
Malachi 3:10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

2. Isn't it strange how 2 hours seem so long when
you're at church, and how short they seem when you're
watching a good movie?

3. Isn't it strange that you can't find a word to say when you're praying,
but you have no trouble thinking what to talk about with a friend?

4. Isn't it strange how difficult and boring it is to read one chapter
of the Bible, but how easy it is to read 100 pages of a popular novel or ZANE GREY book?

5. Isn't it strange how everyone wants front-row-tickets to concerts or games, but they do whatever is possible to sit at the last row in Church?

6. Isn't it strange how we need to know about an event for Church 2-3
weeks before the day so we can include it in our agenda, but we can
adjust it for other events at the last minute?

7. Isn't it strange how difficult it is to learn a fact about God to share it
with others, but how easy it is to learn, understand, extend and repeat gossip?

8. Isn't it strange how we believe everything that magazines and newspapers
say, but we question the words in the Bible?

9. Isn't it strange how everyone wants a place in heaven, but they don't want
to believe, do, or say anything to get there?

10. Isn't it strange how we send jokes in e-mails and they
are forwarded right away, but when we are going to send messages about God, we think about it twice before we share it with others?

IT'S STRANGE ISN'T IT?

Now that you've read this message,
forward it to anybody that you consider
a friend, family member or foe(enemy).
others who may need God in their life.

Sejak semula, keluarga dari si gadis tidak menyetujui hubungannya dengan sang pemuda. Mereka mengajukan alasan mengenai latar belakang keluarga, bahwa jika si gadis memaksa terus bersama dengan sang pemuda,dia akan menderita seumur hidupnya.... .

Karena tekanan dari keluarganya, si gadis jadi sering bertengkar dengan pacarnya. Gadis itu benar2 mencintainya, dan dia terus-menerus bertanya, "Seberapa besar kamu mencintaiku? "

Sang pemuda tdk begitu pandai berbicara, dia selalu membuat si gadis marah. Dan komentar-komentar dari orangtuanya membuatnya bertambah kesal.
Sang pemuda selalu menjadi sasaran pelampiasan kemarahannya. Dan sang pemuda selalu membiarkannya melampiaskan kemarahannya kepadanya... .

Setelah beberapa saat, sang pemuda lulus dari perguruan tinggi. Ia bermaksud meneruskan kuliahnya ke luar negeri, tapi sebelum dia pergi, dia melamar gadisnya, "Saya tidak tahu bagaimana mengucapkan kata2 manis, tapi saya tahu bahwa saya mencintaimu. Jika kamu setuju, saya ingin menjagamu seumur hidupmu.
Mengenai keluargamu, saya akan berusaha keras untuk meyakinkan mereka agar menyetujui hubungan kita. Maukah kamu menikah denganku?"
Si gadis setuju, dan keluarganya setelah melihat usaha dari sang pemuda, akhirnya merestui hubungan mereka. Sebelum pemuda itu berangkat, mereka bertungan terlebih dahulu. Si gadis tetap tinggal di kampung halaman dan bekerja, sementara sang pemuda meneruskan kuliahnya di LN.....

Mereka melanjutkan hubungan mereka melalui surat dan telepon. Kadang-kadang timbul kesulitan, tapi mereka tidak menyerah terhadap keadaan.

Suatu hari, dalam perjalanan ke tempat perhentian bis sepulang dari kerja, si gadis tertabrak mobil hingga tak sadarkan diri. Ketika siuman, dia melihat kedua orangtuanya dan menyadari betapa beruntungnya dia dapat selamat.

Melihat air mata orangtuanya, dia berusaha untuk menghibur mereka. Tetapi dia menemukan... bahwa dia tidak dapat berbicara sama sekali. Dia bisu..... Menurut dokter kecelakaan tersebut telah mencederai otaknya, dan itu menyebabkannya bisu seumur hidupnya. Mendengar orangtuanya membujuknya, tapi tidak dapat menjawab sepatah kata pun, gadis tersebut pingsan... Sepanjang hari hanya dapat menangis dan membisu...

Ketika akhirnya dia boleh pulang dari RS, dia mendapati rumahnya masih seperti sedia kala. Hanya jika telepon berdering, dia menjadi pilu. Dering telepon telah menjadi mimpi terburuknya. Dia tidak dapat memberitakan kabar buruk tersebut kepada pacarnya dan menjadi bebannya.
Dia menulis sepucuk surat untuknya, memberitahukan bahwa dia tdk mau lagi menunggunya.

Hubungan antara mereka sudah putus, bahkan dia mengembalikan cincin pertunangan mereka. Mendapat surat dan telepon dari si pemuda, dia hanya bisa menitikkan air mata...

Ayahnya tidak tahan melihat penderitaannya, dan memutuskan untuk pindah. Berharap bahwa dia dapat melupakan segalanya dan menjadi lebih bahagia...

Pindah ke tempat baru, si gadis mulai belajar bahasa isyarat. Dia berusaha melupakan sang pemuda... Suatu hari sahabatnya memberitahukan bahwa pemuda itu telah kembali dan mencarinya ke mana-mana. Dia meminta sahabatnya untuk tidak memberitahukan di mana dia berada dan menyuruh pemuda tsb. untuk melupakannya. ... Lebih dari setahun, tidak terdengar lagi kabar pemuda itu sampai akhirnya sahabat si gadis menyampaikan bahwa sang pemuda akan menikah dan menyerahkan surat undangan. Dia membuka surat undangan itu dengan hati pedih, dan menemukan namanya tercantum dlm undangan. Sebelum dia sempat bertanya kepada sahabatnya, tiba-tiba sang pemuda muncul di hadapannya.

Dengan bahasa isyarat yang kaku, ia menyampaikan bahwa.... Aku telah menghabiskan waktu lebih dari setahun untuk mempelajari bahasa isyarat, agar dapat memberitahukan kepadamu bahwa aku belum melupakan janji kita, berikan aku kesempatan, biarkan aku menjadi suaramu.

"I L O V E Y O U"

Melihat bahasa isyarat tersebut, dan cincin pertunangannya. ... Si gadis akhirnya tersenyum bahagia.

Perlakukan setiap cinta seakan cinta terakhirmu.. . dan baru kamu akan belajar cara memberi

Perlakukan setiap hari seakan hari terakhirmu.. ... dan baru kamu akan belajar cara menghargai

Jangan pernah menyerah.

Keindahan Persahabatan adalah bahwa kamu tahu kepada siapa kamu dapat mempercayakan rahasiamu... Jangan biarkan selisih paham merusak indahnya persahabatan. ..

Ingatlah bahwa kasih yang paling indah dan sukses yang terbesar, mengandung banyak resiko... Yakinlah pada dirimu ketika kamu berkata: ? "Aku mencintaimu. .."

Original message from Pet:

Message: A girl went to a party and she ended up staying longer than planned, and had to walk home alone. She wasnt afraid because it was a small town and she lived only a few blocks away. As she walked along under the tall elm trees, Diane asked God to keep her safe from harm and danger.When she reached the alley, which was a short cut to her house, she decided to take it.
However, halfway down the alley she noticed a man standing at the end as though he were waiting for her.She became uneasy and began to pray, sking for Gods protection. Instantly a comforting feeling of quietness and security wrapped round her, she felt as though someone was walking with her.

When she reached the end of the alley, she walked right past the man and arrived home safely.

The following day, she read in the newspaper that a young girl had been raped in the same alley just twenty minutes after she had been there. Feeling overwhelmed by this tragedy and the fact that it could have been her, she began to weep. Thanking the Lord for her safety and to help this young woman, she decided to go to the police station.

She felt she could recognize the man, so she told them her story. The police asked her if she would be willing to look at a lineup to see if she could identify him. She agreed and immediately pointed out the man she had seen in the alley the night before.When the man was told he had been identified, he immediately broke down and confessed. The officer thanked Diane for her bravery and asked if there was anything they could do for her. She asked if they would ask the man one question.

Diane was curious as to why he had not attacked her. When the policeman asked him, he answered,Because she wasn't alone. She had two tall men walking on either side of her. Amazingly, whether you believe or not, you're never alone. Did you know that 98% of teenagers will not stand up for God?

Thankful for what you have

2008-08-22T22:32:00.000-07:00

A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: 'I am blind, please help.' There were only a few coins in the hat.

A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.

Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, 'Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?'

The man said, 'I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way.'
What he had written was: 'Today is a beautiful day and I cannot see it.'

Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing?

Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind. Should we be surprised that the second sign was more effective?

Moral of the Story: Be thankful for what you have. Be creative. Be innovative. Think differently and positively.

Invite others towards good with wisdom. Live life with no excuse and love with no regrets. When life gives you a 100 reasons to cry, show life that you have 1000 reasons to smile. Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear. Keep the faith and drop the fear.

Great men say, 'Life has to be an incessant process of repair and reconstruction, of discarding evil and developing goodness…. In the journey of life, if you want to travel without fear, you must have the ticket of a good conscience.'

The most beautiful thing is to see a person smiling…
And even more beautiful is, knowing that you are the reason behind it!!!

Principle of the Word

2008-08-22T22:12:00.000-07:00

Without a strong foundation on the principle of the Word, we are vulnerable to all kinds of human philosophy that will divert us from the truth.

Thank You Jesus

2008-08-20T07:49:00.000-07:00

I remember the days of long ago; I meditate on all Your works and consider what Your hands have done. ~ Psalm 143:5

When..

2008-07-14T08:03:00.000-07:00

When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; When health is lost, something is lost; When character is lost, all is lost!

Without a friend

2008-07-10T08:06:00.000-07:00

No man can be happy without a friend and no man can be sure of his friend until he is unhappy

Blame someone

2008-07-06T06:56:00.000-07:00

People may fail many times, but they become failures only when they begin to blame someone else

Treat other people

2008-07-06T06:41:00.000-07:00

Never lose sight of the fact that the most important yardstick of your success will be how you treat other people.

Securing your freedom

2008-07-01T07:34:00.000-07:00

Until you release others, the devil and his agents are lawfully empowered to keep you and your blessings in their prison. Release everyone who has offended you today. Use that as basis for securing your freedom. Gbu

Others trust you

2008-06-26T17:51:00.000-07:00

If you want others to trust you, to give you greater opportunities and resources, to partner with you – then embrace responsibility and practice it faithfully in every area of your life!

That is Christianity

2008-06-20T10:04:00.000-07:00

"We are told that Christ was killed for us, that His death has washed out our sins, and that by dying He disabled death itself. ... That is Christianity. That is what has to be believed."

C.S. Lewis

God-given strengths

2008-06-18T23:06:00.000-07:00

Focusing on weaknesses instead of strengths is like having a handful of coins, a few made of gold, the rest of tarnished copper, and setting aside the gold coins to spend your time shining the copper ones in hopes of making them more valuable. No matter how long you spend, they will never be worth what the gold ones are. So, stay focused on your God-given strengths!

appreciate yourself

2008-06-08T22:45:00.000-07:00

If only the people who worry about their liabilities would think about the riches they do possess, they would stop worrying. Would you sell both your eyes for a million dollars? Or your legs. Or your hands. Or your hearing? Add up what you do have, and you will find that you will not sell them for all the gold in the world. The best things in life are yours, if you can appreciate yourself.

The deepest level of worship

2008-06-08T06:00:00.000-07:00

The deepest level of worship is praising God in spite of pain, thanking God during a trial, trusting Him when tempted, surrendering while suffering, loving Him when He seems distant. -But truth is He never leave us alone.

existence before God

2008-06-08T01:07:00.000-07:00

Our true existence before God will be exposed through the fruits of our ministry and daily life. Matthew 3: 1-12, Matthew 7:15-27

Depend on Him

2008-06-02T17:57:00.000-07:00

The more we learn about Jesus, the more we trust Him. Our greatest risk is failing to depend on Him when life seems out of control
