Joy Amidst The Storm

-



Its easy to be out of joy in hard times. Dealing with finances, broken relationships, fighting for sickness, aiming for promotion, it seems the whole earth is above you.

From my previous writings, we knew that our God is a good father he hold us and no one can snatch us from his mighty hand. In God's family we are under the protection of the Almighty, the creator of heaven, earth and universe. The most powerful and loving father.

Dwelling on problems for a long time can lose your joy. Matthew 6:27 says; Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life? Worrying is not beneficial to us, it will only rob your joy and can add stress and baggage to your life. Free of those things it can slow down you from reaching your destiny, life is short do not waste your time and energy on it.


The Scripture says; Consider it as pure joy whenever we face trials of many kinds, it is a testing of our faith that produces perseverance. Life is a journey and we need to persevere. God does not promise us a life without difficulties but he gave us strength to overcome every obstacles. The Scripture says "For my yoke is easy and my burden is light", there is no problems we cannot control and surpass, He breath into us and equip us everything what we need to survive.

Encountering hard times is like a spiritual exercise that develops our spiritual muscle. From infancy to maturity. Walking through the hardships will make us a strong one. We need to undergo all those shaping process to reshape our mind and polish our attitude. There is no problem we cannot carry. Every time we face trial it's an opportunity to grow and develop. Stay focus to your destiny, a famous song tells "there is always a rainbow after the rain." Rain is temporary, it only passes by and stop, also problems are temporary and it cannot stop where we're headed for. Our destiny is awaiting for us keep fighting the good fight of faith.

Don't run out with joy! Keep the joy amidst the storm of life. Make a difference!

Jesus said; "So with you: Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy."

    I'f the Lions come we don't need to be a lamb. We should be like David, a lion slayer and a giant killer. However, David did not become a strong warrior in just a night. He went through the process of learning as a shepherd boy, somehow insignificant and low class job than to be in the royal army with attached fame and name. However it was in this low moment David learned to fully trust the Father, that by His own ability winning is impossible. He has the skill and training, but its the Father's power could him defeat his enemies. So what I would like to point out, is when the Father is placing you in those hard moments, don't lost the grip, He is training you to be His Navy seal. You are going to come out strong and confident in His power. So when the battle hour comes, you are ready, not only saved yourself but to save your families and nation.

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. Whether in family, in your studies, relationship and business. The enemy trying to break your family. If we are not aware of this maybe he will accomplish his mission. Some instances he is trying to pull down your business, disturb your studies, and break your commitment. These are some examples of unseen battle in us that happens everyday of our life. 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...
