Clean the spot with the Word…


Clean the spot with the Word…
June 30, 2010

Today I learn something when my employee makes fatal mistake. She put the hot iron near a teddy bear and the fur of the teddy bear become black. She put the spot free liquid on the black spot and the color become yellow. The teddy bear become brown with yellow spot on the chest and it is ugly. The teddy bear is belonging to a good customer and I must find out how to make the spot become brown again. I don’t want my customer become disappointed. I search on internet and I found that coffee can do this job and I am going to try this. I wish it works.

Sometime my heart is like the teddy bear. When I do mistake or some one do mistake that concern of me, then my heart will have 'black spot'. Then I try with my own understanding to clean the spot and the result become worse than before. Then I seek God and his Words then I know the right way to clean the spot. I do the instruction and the spot cleared.

Only God know the best for me. Only He knows what to do for me. God guaranteed that there is no peace unto the wicked. So, GOD is the only way.

I am the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go. O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! Then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea: Thy seed also had been as the sand, and the offspring of thy bowels like the gravel thereof; his name should not have been cut off nor destroyed from before me. Go ye forth of Babylon, flee ye from the Chaldeans, with a voice of singing declare ye, tell this, utter it even to the end of the earth; say ye, The LORD hath redeemed his servant Jacob. And they thirsted not when he led them through the deserts: he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them: he clave the rock also, and the waters gushed out. There is no peace, saith the LORD, unto the wicked. Isaiah 48:17-22 (KJV)

God is ultimately GOD...

God is GOD…..
June 29, 20101

Every time I pray I always ask favors from GOD. Sometime God answer my favor not for a long time, sometime GOD answer my favor after I feel desperate and hopeless, and sometime GOD not answer at all. I can not control GOD because He is GOD.

I still remember the preacher said from the Sunday service like this:”Church Service is like a drama stage. The drama need audience, need director, and need actors. Many people think that the preacher is the actor, the attendance is the audience, and GOD is the director. It is not a right though. The right one is, the attendance is the actors, preacher is the director and GOD is the audience. So, that means that I am the actor that my play must please GOD, not vice versa.

Like the story I read today in the bible. The LORD said that every one must please Him not The LORD must please every one. God is not a “wish fulfiller’ even though He can fulfill my wish. Every things is belongs to GOD. He created everything to make Him happy.

I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me: That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else. I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

frienship overcome the hardship

Friendship overcome the hardship….
June 28, 2010

Yesterday I was happy because I attend a celebration of the birthday of my friend from the ministry. We are 11 peoples that attended the dinner. We shared the encouragement to him and he shared that he was very secure to become part of our friendship. We are brother and sister in Christ; we should encourage each other so we can face the hardship of this life.

I also very glad because my business is going better and better. Since last Saturday, we have achieved our daily target (about US $10 each day). I wish this will go constantly so the laundry will advance. If the laundry continuously achieves the target for one week, then I must increase the target to US $15 each day.

I ever share that God really want His people to have a great life. He washed our sins away. He just want us to respect him by doing what he has command and the first and important thing is he want me to close to him. It is just that and very simple. And there is one more that GOD want me to do. God has created a community called church. In the church people are connected to each other. God wants me to “be connected”, become a spiritual brother to every member in the church. Become a good brother so every one will know that we are disciple of Jesus Christ. Every one will praise the GOD. Friendship between disciple can overcome hardship.

Remember these, O Jacob and Israel; for thou art my servant: I have formed thee; thou art my servant: O Israel, thou shalt not be forgotten of me. I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee. Sing, O ye heavens; for the Lord hath done it: shout, ye lower parts of the earth: break forth into singing, ye mountains, O forest, and every tree therein: for the Lord hath redeemed Jacob, and glorified himself in Israel.

Strength that make strong....

June 27, 2010

Everyday I face many problems. Although there are good news when the problems solved, the strength was decreased. When the strength was low, I became easy to give up, senseless, depressed, over sensitive, overwhelmed, etc.

When I know my strength is dim, It's time to renew my strength again. The bible gives me tips to renew my strength. I must wait upon the Lord; it means that I must have a good and deep fellowship with GOD and wait for the answer that best for me from GOD's sight.

Like today I heard that my disciple is not happy because of their marriage problems, I also unhappy because my employee go anywhere without permit to us and so many-many problems that make me overwhelmed.

I set my time to do a quiet time, to relax and reflex my self , pray and read the bible. I found that I get the strength to face tomorrow. Certainly tomorrow I need to renew again my strength. Strength means the power of my heart to face what ever the problems that day. Strength means the inner strength that drive me to be strong.

But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
Isaiah 40:31 (KJV)

June 26, 2010

Being no customers make me worry. Being too much customers make me worry also. But, being near to GOD makes me peaceful. Off course I want my business being advance. But being rich is different from being peaceful. I want to be rich and also have a peaceful heart.

Today God bless us with so many new and previous customers. Since this morning (8.a.m.) until now (6 p.m.) they keep coming and calling us to pick their laundry. I am so happy for that and I want to say thank you for Jesus Christ my GOD.

Like the story in the bible, king Hezekiah was very worry because their enemy, Sennacherib, King of Assyria had encamped near the Jerusalem, They were going to invade Jerusalem. King Hezekiah panic but he seek the help from GOD and GOD helped them. King Hezekiah and his people did not do any war. GOD did war for them.

Praise the GOD.

So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
And Isaiah said unto them, Thus shall ye say unto your master, Thus saith the Lord, Be not afraid of the words that thou hast heard, wherewith the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.
Behold, I will send a blast upon him, and he shall hear a rumour, and return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.

How to be peace?

Do you want a peaceful heart?
Here are tips for peaceful heart:

Everyday I take some time to pray approximately like this:
My GOD, my awesome GOD that dwell in heaven. It’s very pleasant for me to pray. It’s a gratitude for me to have time to pray like now. My Father, My GOD, my Kindly GOD, I want to thank you because you have kept me and my family save. You watch out my Gwen, my daughter, my Ellen, my wife, and my Leon, my becoming son. It’s a joy to watch them happy and grow each day. Thank you GOD to give me health so I can preserve and maintain my family.

My GOD, today I would like to confess my sins. I want to say sorry for every single sin that I’ve made that make you very sad.

My GOD, my kindly GOD, I am running a laundry business right now. It’s a present for me if you give me wisdom, knowledge and zeal every day to run this business. I ask for those because I need them to fund my family’s needs, to send Gwen to a good school, to save for my wife because she wants to give birth at this December and for the laundry off course because I need to make it advance. Thanks God for everything. In Jesus name I pray amen.

Like today I read Isaiah 32-34 and I found that God actually want His people to have a very good life. He asked his people to obey Him because He know how to make them joyful, peaceful in every one’s heart even the condition from the environment is not support. Just follow His instructions 100%.

I am facing a bad time, my money is not enough even for buying my wife pregnancy’s medicine. But, I can still pray while I do the best in my business. I can still calm my heart everyday and change my mindset in to a spiritual and positive one. And I know “the good seeds” that I have sowed today will yield some day.

And therefore will the Lord wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the Lord is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him.
Isaiah 30:18 (KJV)

I am a nice man,
I am a good businessman,
I am a disciple of GOD,
My laundry business is the best,
I love GOD,
I love my wife,
I love my daughter,
I love my becoming son,
I love my father,
I love my mother,
I love my physically bro and sis,
I love my spiritually bro and sis,
God placed me here means, I am the right man in the appropriate place.

I am very exited...

Today I get a mail from the big sized laundry company that I ask for associating. I see the mail and my proposal approved and I am very happy. They give the price that very low, lower than our competitor’s. I will immediately send the proposal to the hotel and I hope that the proposal will be approved, too. God, please with me LORD.

I was worry since few days ago because my customers every day stack on 5 persons, not more. I am very worry. The worry heart makes me become like zombie, senseless, drunk but not with wine, stagger but not with strong drink.

I wish that I have a project that can give very good benefit to us and GOD give it. I must repent because GOD teaches me once again to be humble and believe in HIM.

Stay yourselves, and wonder; cry ye out, and cry: they are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink. For the Lord hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he covered.

Everything will be okay….

Everything will be okay….
June 23, 2010

Yesterday evening I went to the doctor with my wife. The doctor told us that we will have a baby boy. We are very happy. Although there are a little error with my wife’s womb, the doctor gave the recipe for 5 days and we bought the medicine immediately although we bought it only for 1 day because we lack of money.

Today I am going to buy another 5 days medicine immediately after I close the store. Although I know the medicine is expensive, I will be happy if my wife and my baby in good condition.

Like the story in the bible, when the Israel was in the terrible condition, the prophet said that there will be strength to the poor, strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, and shadow from the heat… Wow, that was very relief.

For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.  Isaiah 25:4 (KJV)

The perfection belongs to GOD…

The perfection belongs to GOD…
June 22, 2010

Just for the information:
This is what I do everyday after I set the SOP (Standard Operational Procedure) for my laundry business:
I wash the laundry in the night (8 p.m.) and not drain the water from the machine. At 7 a.m., I drain the water and spin the laundry. After that, my employee dries the laundry. Then we wash another laundry. Everyday we make a target for washing. The target is US$11 per day. So, we wash the laundry which the total laundry value of US$11 every day. We did this kind of habit since few days ago (may be one week) and it is running good. I wish that is a better SOP even though the previous is okay enough for now.

Today I learn that glory must belong to GOD. He creates everything to glorify Him. He creates human, animals, plants, sea, land, planet earth, etc. to give Him glory. Nothing can boast himself and say that he is great because even he is great, his greatness is belong to GOD.

It is why I must make my family, my business and me my self perfect, not because I want to boast but the Glory, the perfection belongs to GOD. I need to give him as perfect as I can.

Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously. Isaiah 24:23 (KJV)

It’s time to do the best and let GOD do the rest….

It’s time to do the best and let GOD do the rest….
June 21, 2010

Some time when I am in burden and don’t know what to do, all I need is just to do the very best I can and get back to the God, purify my heart and calm the mind. Because some time I don’t realize that I want to be God by doing and controlling what ever the things and when there is out of control, I become crazy and stress.

The things that I can do everyday in my business is give the best for my laundry, the quality control of the laundry and the best service to the customers and off course do the commercial routinely. The things that I can do everyday for my family are having a quality time with my daughter and my wife. The things that I can do everyday for the ministry are having time to share good news, spend some time with bro and sis, etc.

Like the story from the bible says that God was war against the enemy of Israel. The bible said that God fought against Egypt, Ethiopia, Babylon, Edom and Arabia that time.

The burden of Egypt. Behold, the Lord rideth upon a swift cloud, and shall come into Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it.  And I will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians: and they shall fight every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbour; city against city, and kingdom against kingdom.  Isaiah 19:1-2 (KJV)
