Obstacles Are For You

-

No one is excuse from experiencing problems. It is part of life's package. Whether in family, relationships, business, work, studies and ministries. 

Before I reached this position right now. I've  passed through many tests in life. Overcome difficulties. Completed all the trainings. Endured the hardships. Accepted the pain. Embraced loneliness. Got out from my comfort zone.

Way back 2008, from September to December I processed my application. We are required to be present everyday. A waste of time and money, but I had still follow. I used to woke up early, not to get late, travelled more than an hour everyday going to the camp, and another more than an hour, going back to the house of my sister, where I stayed during my application.

And it came to pass, we were delivered to the training camp. Woke up early everyday, doing exercise and reshaping my mentality. I've got to celebrate Christmas even if i was away from my family. Not allowed to use cellphone and not allowed to go out. Our movement is controlled by time. The great struggle for me is that, deep inside I really wanna  quit, i want to go home, but by the grace of God I finished the race and survived.

What I am trying to say is, there is no shortcut to success. You need to get out from your comfort zone. Endure the pain and overcome obstacles. It is a test. Pass all the process. A famous proverb says; "There is no glory without sacrifice". Your destiny is not limited with your background. We should develop a winner mentality. "Winner is not a quitter!" We all have a potential to increase in life. Keep believing in God and yourself. Keep doing and aiming for excellence. You can do it!. One of my favorite song says, "God is the strength of my heart", It always reminds me that I can do everything through Him, Who strengthens me, His grace is always sufficient, for it is impossible for a man, but in God it is always possible.

Hebrews 12 says; Let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

Our Value Is In Him

Most of the time I rely on what people might say. It just like I am living to please them for them to accept me as a person. Every time I will do or I did something I need them to validate me. It seems my value depends on them. Instead of living free, your life may become miserable and complicated. Thanks to the Father by the conviction of His Spirit, I am reassured that my value is in Him. He is my Father, I am his child. I am the child of the most high God, the creator of the universe. No amount of anything can de-value me. Im not saying you were going to neglect fellowship, what I am trying to say do not depend your value to someone else, with or without them, you are still valuable and no one can ever take that away from you. As a son I am under the protection of my heavenly loving Father. The enemy trying to de-value me, someone will say I'm not good, I'm not talented, I'm not attracted, but my Father says I am precious to His eyes, I am His masterpiece, I am ...

Ephesians 6:12  For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Today war between nation is rampant. Some are literal war using heavy canons, fighter planes, brave soldiers and more. War also inside the government, opposition against administration. It seems war has no ending. There are more war that are not visible in our eyes but happening in reality.  Life is a battle. Each one of us experienced everyday battle.

The enemy comes to steal and destroy, but the ...

Reach the Unreached

The Scripture says "and this gospel must be preach to the whole world, as a testimony to all nation, and the end will come." First let us calculate how many nation in the whole world? Some author says nation here represents a tribe. Given it is tribe or a group of people, then how many tribes therein the world? Did all the tribes already hear the gospel? If not, which tribe or nation did not reach the gospel? The bible clearly states that the end will come if all of this nation hear the gospel or was preach. We are challenge to reach the unreached! That's our mission! How many of us support this campaign of bridging the gospel to unreached nation? How many churches of today send missionaries to this area? Are we passionate in supporting them or are we just passive to this command? Not all of us are called to be evangelist and missionaries, but as a church, the one body of Christ, how can we promote the gospel that gives life to the unbeliever. Our nation is g...
