Anger of Love….

Anger of Love….

August 31, 2010

This is the last sentence in the Old Testament:

And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse. Mal 4:6 (KJV)

May be God was very angry that time and the last statement is curse. What happen with the Israelites and Judah that time? I don’t know very detail because I am not there. But I know that they did something very wrong that cause God very angry to them. Why they didn’t repent? I think their heart is like a stone, very hard to shape.

Here is the first sentence in the New Testament:

The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.  Matt 1:1 (KJV)

God really love the Human. I don’t know what special is the human but although they always make God angry but God always change His mind and always find a way to love his people. God came to the earth as Jesus Christ, speak human languages and live as human and died as human also to love the human that he creates.

So, in the New Testament, God give me chance to feel his love in my life and to experience his care in my life and I owe God so much.

Today morning I am very angry because my employees did the same error again. She mixed the red shirt with other clothes and other clothes become reddish.

Yesterday my mom gave us curry and today morning the curry not fresh anymore. My wife and I think that we can save money for buying food but the curry cannot be eaten anymore. I am so sad.

Today the weather is not clear. There are a little raining in this morning and it is not good for this business because we cannot dry the laundry in the sunshine. We must use electrical device to dry it and it costly.

I hope the weather will clear soon and the shirt that reddish can be cleaned also. I wish my formula to clean the reddish cloth will work.

Today I am overwhelmed. It is time to pray and give every worry to my Lord. It is time to ask God’s favor. It is time to God’s decision for me.

Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the Lord of hosts.

The City of Holy…

The City of Holy…

August 29, 2010

Yesterday I wrote that need someone to tell the truth and the one that being told must also tell to another about the truth and so on. The result of knowing the truth is holiness.

The one that know the truth and repent his life will become holy in God eyes. But if he doesn’t repent, then his life will become more wicked than before.

So, if everyone in a city has become holy, then the city must be the city of Holy and the City of Holy is God’s dream. God has his own way to make a City of Holy.

He will choose and gather every one around the world that already holy. He will put them in one place and he calls the place a New Jerusalem. Every people that dwell there is already holy and I wish I am one of the members. Amen.

Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto the Lord of hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe therein: and in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of the Lord of hosts. Zech 14:21 (KJV)

The City of Truth…

The City of Truth…
August 28, 2010

Not everyone knows that adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envying, murder, drunkenness, reveling are sins or may be they know that those are sins but they don’t feel guilty anymore when doing those.

There are so many time God give his people hope in the Old Testament. God always said that they will get a better life, a peaceful life a better city and so on.

There is one statement that I think it is need afford to reach it. God said that Jerusalem shall be called a city of truth. Become a city of truth is not easy. Everyone must know the truth. Need someone to tell the truth and the one who was told the truth must tell others the truth and continuously until everyone in the city knows it.

To be a Christian is not like other religion. Actually Christian is not a religion for me. Christian is a group of people that pass the massage of truth to everyone. If everyone in a city knows the truth then the city becomes the City of Truth. That is what I do now in my city.

Thus saith the Lord; I am returned unto Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called a city of truth; and the mountain of the Lord of hosts the holy mountain. Zech 8:3 (KJV)

August 27, 2010

I don’t want to live alone. I want to walk with God. There are so many decisions that I must make in my life. I lead two companies now beef farm and laundry. I don’t want to make a wrong decision. All I need is listening to God. Every day I pray and read the bible to get the ideas and inspirations.

Some time I can feel frustrated and emotionally I did what I think well without asking from God. Although God has blessed me a lot, I can’t remember that because I am in bad mood.

In the bible said that The Israelites and Judah were rejected by God because they refused to listen to God. They did whatever they think well without asking God anymore. They broke the rules of God although the rules of God kept them save. As the result, God let them being taken captive by Babylon and being slave there.

Listen to the God not means listening like I talk to the people. Listen to the God means that I put my hope to Him and let him decide what is good for me. Something will happen after I pray and may be it is from God. If I feel doubt, I can pray again. Pray until something happen. Only God knows the best for me.

But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should not hear. Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which the Lord of hosts hath sent in his spirit by the former prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the Lord of hosts.

August 26, 2010

There are no visitor come to my laundry from the morning (8.30 a.m.) until evening (5.00 p.m.). I am down and almost lose my faith for this laundry business. But after 5 o’clock, suddenly there are a customer came and brought his laundries. He brought lot of laundries: bed cover, blankets, towel and curtain the total price is almost near my target for one day. Before I finished write the bill notes, one more customer came and bring his clothes for laundry, so, I called my employee to help me counted and weighed the clothes, before we finished, one more customer came and brough his laundry, he is from Korea and his driver asked me to count the laundry and wrote the notes. Today we received our laundry target for 3 days. Wow, God is awesome. Now I know what is joyful because of the problem.

I don’t know exactly what happen to Israel that time. I read the bible and I know but I can’t feel what they experienced. I just know that they were in problems. But, God has a good plan for them. God plan to remove the iniquity from their land in one day.

It is just like everyone in this earth. Every one has problems. But, God also has a good plan for everyone. So, I just come to God with my prayer and today I pray a ‘close to God’ prayer. I said to God that I want to close to Him. I am not focus to ask for the blessing although I also pray for it.  Close to God is a blessing for me. Amen.

For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone shall be seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith the Lord of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.

Slave…

Slave…

August 26, 2010

To have debt is just like to be a slave. We become a slave to the owner of the money. We are very afraid that he asks the money back and we do what ever he wants us to do just like the slave.

To have sins is just like to be a slave, too. We become a slave to Satan. We are very afraid in our heart. There are sound in our mind tells us that we are a sinner and we feel no confident anymore. Our eyes look down and we feel worry about anything.

In the history, Israelites was taken captive to Babylon and became slave there. But, even they are in the condition of slavery, God also give them chance to being free. Yes, their physics is slave but God want their heart being free.

The difference between me and Israelites is I am not a slave to anybody but my heart can be slave because if I am doing sin, then my heart will be slave. If I want to free my heart, then God says that I must turn my heart to Him from my evil ways and my evil doings.

Therefore say thou unto them, Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Turn ye unto me, saith the Lord of hosts, and I will turn unto you, saith the Lord of hosts. Be ye not as your fathers, unto whom the former prophets have cried, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Turn ye now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings: but they did not hear, nor hearken unto me, saith the Lord.

I don’t know what happen today but I feel like I don’t have a good mood. I feel like I am very lazy to do anything. I just want to do nothing except playing my gameboy advance.

I feel my laundry grows slowly. I expect visitors for every five minutes but there is something wrong and I don’t know what it is. I feel numb like the linking park.

When I read the bible from Habakuk, I learn to joy in the God of my salvation even there are nothing good happen to me. Last night I teach someone to pray. The focus of the praying is close to God and not to ask for the blessing of God. He needs to close to God because God knows everything good for him.

I know I must upgrade my closeness to God because I need to joy in the God of my salvation whatever the conditions. I also must pray the close to God prayer like what I have touch the person last night.

Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls: Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation. The Lord God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds' feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places. To the chief singer on my stringed instruments.

August 23, 2010

Today I will meet some one and teach him bible. Actually I will counsel him with bible as the standard and to make sure he makes the right decision in his life.

He is single and working as eggs seller in a green market. He came to the church yesterday morning with his neighbor and I offered him to bible study with me and he accepted my offering.

Today I will go to his neighbor’s house and discuss bible with him. Life changing is the focus not the knowledge.

I am glad that his neighbor brought him to the church and helped him to have a better life. This kind of neighbor is very rare this day but they still exist. God will be please if I become a neighbor that can help his neighbor to have a better life with bible as the standard.

Why bible as the standard? – Bible has changed me a lot and I am very sure bible also can change every one. Bible has helped me out from lies, adulteries, bad attitude, laziness, foolishness, impatiently, and so many more.

August 23, 2010

Be careful, because my business can make me forget God. Actually I don’t forget God, but I become lazy and heartless to do the quiet time. Yesterday, I am very busy. In the morning I went to the church service. After church service I was having lunch with my family. After that we went home (about 3 p.m.). After we went home we take a rest. I played Xbox game. My heart told me that I must have my quiet time but I neglect it. Then at 6.p.m we went to a meeting. We went home at 10.30 p.m. and we are very tired. I read the bible but I can’t write the insight any more.

I am so sad because I don’t give the best for God in my time with him. I delayed my quiet time. My quiet time is a time for me to connect with him. My quiet time is a time to get strength from Him for the whole day.

When my heart not filled with God, then I become empty. Although I fill my day with so many things to do, my heart is empty. I miss God so much. I must fill my heart with God again and become full. Relationship with God is my batteries and quiet time is a time to recharge the batteries. I need it to fire up my life for doing the best all day.

She is empty, and void, and waste: and the heart melteth, and the knees smite together, and much pain is in all loins, and the faces of them all gather blackness

God’s Expectations…

August 21, 2010

What is God expect me to do in my life? - God has given me life that I can enjoy. God has given me everything that I need. Even God has given me his life to save my life.

God also design a new life for everyone. God design a life without war. God design a life that everyone respects each other, husband and wife always being harmony although there are many problems, parents and children understand each other, neighborhood care each other, people are mature in their attitude and so on, but how I can get the blue print of that life.

Actually, I have the blue print since 1996, when I decide Jesus Christ becomes my God and the Holy Bible is the first authority in my life. When I decided to become a disciple of Christ, I’ve got the life that God design for me.

Now, all I need to do is what God expect me to do. God require me to do justly, love mercy and to walk humbly with God in the rest of my life. I can imagine that every people do what I have done before, the life without war is possible now.

And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

Jonah also faced the same case but the different was I want they change but Jonah want they being punished. Both of us expect the result and when the result is not the same as we want, we became angry.

But, God said to Jonah that he didn’t plant and he not deserved to harvest. He just a worker that pass the message to the Nineveh. Whether they want to repent or not is not Jonah’s problem.

I counsel many people. I counsel with love and with heart. But, the people don’t change, and then it is not my problem anymore. It is God’s problem. So, I don’t need to be angry.

Then said the Lord, Thou hast had pity on the gourd, for the which thou hast not laboured, neither madest it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night: And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle

Few days ago I invited one of my laundry customers to come to the Sunday church service. When she came to my store, I weighted her clothes, counted her clothes, write her data on the bill, her name, address and phone number. When she mentioned her name it seemed that she is a Batakness (Batak is one of the tribe in Indonesia).  Most of them are Christians. So, I tried to invite her (although I doubt she would come to the Sunday church service). She was doubt but I convinced her to come. Then at Sunday, she came to the church service. After that she told my wife that although she is a Christian, she never ever went to the church for the last 6 months. She was very touched and cried. She was very thankful to us and she wanted to join the bible study with my wife.

I am very thankful to God. I don’t know her before what will happen. I just to be brave to open my mouth to invited her and the result she wants to learn the bible with my wife. I believe that she has touch God’s heart.

Like the story of Jonah. The bible said that Jonah refused to go to the Nineveh. He run away. God pushed him to go to the Nineveh and the result was very good. The people in Nineveh were repented and God have mercy upon them.

So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them. Jonah 3:5 (KJV)

And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not. Jonah 3:10 (KJV)

August 18, 2010

Every body wants to have a better life. But, what is a better life? For me a better life is a life that restored everyday. Energy restored, knowledge restored, joyful restored, mood restored, heath restored, finance restored and every part of my life restored.

God has given me a good life but when I did wrong and unwisely, there would be so many problems in my life. So, to have a good life again, I need to restore. And to be restored, I need God. So, when God want to restore my life, I must ready to be restored.

Few days ago I wrote business tips in my blog. I want to continue the tips. After I prayed with my wife few days ago, today I write the criteria for the business that I and my wife want to run.

The criteria for our Business are:

1.          Working hour form 8 a.m. to 11.30 a.m. (for me and my wife)

2.          After 6 months no need to depend on the working hour anymore because we can delegate the jobs to our employees. We just control it once a week if we want to.

3.          I and my wife must have the skill, love to and enjoy doing the business.

4.          We don’t need to learn much anymore because we already have the skill. We just retrain our skill only for 1 month before we run the business.

5.          Preparations (training and other stuff) only for 1 month.

6.          Minimal Net Profit we earn from the business must US$1112 every month.

7.          The business must can give us net profit US$ 1112 even in the first month. So, no need to wait too long to get that mount of the net profit.

8.          Brothers and sisters in Church also can work with us and no need to be an employee to join us.

9.          Workers not being limited. Everyone can do the job as long as they want to do it every day (except Sunday and national holiday).

10.     Workers can be controlled via text messages.

11.     Starting capital not more than US$1112.

12.     Product can’t be copied unless we (Me or my wife or the person we touch before) teach them.

I pray to God to restore my financial. I need to ready when he want to restore my financial. So I make plan and I set my faith on my God, Jesus Christ.

And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them. And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the Lord thy God.

Today I sad because my wife told me that one of my friends that the Church give me to disciple not come to the Sunday church service. His wife sent text to my wife that his husband was in trouble and cannot attend the church service.

I try to phone him and want to know about him but he was angry with me and said that he didn’t like to be treated like a child. I know he is in trouble but he kept it.

Today, when I read the bible from the book of Amos, I know that Amos also face the same condition. He wanted to help the people of Israel but the people were angry and wanted to sentence him to death.

But, he didn’t care what people said about him. He just told what he supposes to tell. His purpose is to send the messages from God. He really told the people the messages and not run away.

I must call that brother again and make a time to meet him to talk about his heart and disciple him in the way of God. Become a friend with him and speak the truth in love.

But prophesy not again any more at Bethel: for it is the king's chapel, and it is the king's court. Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet's son; but I was an herdman, and a gatherer of sycomore fruit: And the Lord took me as I followed the flock, and the Lord said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel. Now therefore hear thou the word of the Lord: Thou sayest, Prophesy not against Israel, and drop not thy word against the house of Isaac. Therefore thus saith the Lord; Thy wife shall be an harlot in the city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and thy land shall be divided by line; and thou shalt die in a polluted land: and Israel shall surely go into captivity forth of his land.

God want me to have a great life. He also want his people to have a great life. But before that, he want to make deal with them. He give me and his people a great life and in return He want me and his people to do what he want us to do.

What he want me to do? - He want me to be holy. He want me to have no “stranger” in my heart. Stranger means something that can steal my relationship with God. What can steal my relationship with God? - My work, my family, my money, my hobby, etc can steal my relationship with god. How they can steal my relationship with God? - Everything that I do the most and put to the first of my priority can steal my relationship with God.

Like the story in the bible. God said via Joel that he wanted to restore the condition of the Israel and Judah as long as they wanted to do what God want them to do. God want them to be holy and pure.

So, if I want God restore my life, I need to be holy and pure in my heart and my life. God want me to put Him as the first priority in my life. God will restore me immediately.

And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.

God’s 2^nd Chance…

August 14, 2010

When I have done sin I was feeling so bad but God always give the 2^nd chance. Yes there are consequences for doing sins but God always forgive. We can not run away from the consequences. But after that God give us 2^nd chance to repent and to live a better life.

Being a Christian is not like an angle and everything like heaven. Being a Christian always has burdens and some times the burdens push us to make sin. Even burdens can make us a sinner; we can always fight and win.

We lose when we stop to fight. Like the Ephraim, they sin more and more because they stop to fight. When they stop to fight, they can not get the 2^nd chance from God anymore even God provided 2^nd chance for them.

I ever make sins in my Christian life. There are many kind of sins I have made. But I always fight and win. I seek advice from other Christian, I seek help from other Christian, I open my life to other Christians, I read the bible to find out what kind of sins I’ve made and how I can get through it and win. Yes, I received the consequences but I finally win. I’ve got the 2^nd chance.

When Ephraim spake trembling, he exalted himself in Israel; but when he offended in Baal, he died. And now they sin more and more, and have made them molten images of their silver, and idols according to their own understanding, all of it the work of the craftsmen: they say of them, Let the men that sacrifice kiss the calves.

The feeling of a Father …

The feeling of a Father …

August 13, 2010

I was very happy when my first child, my daughter born (in 2006). Although I just bankrupt that time, I were still happy to see my daughter. Today my daughter is 4 in her ages and I am still happy.

I work very hard to maintain my wife and my daughter. Some time I was very frustrated and felt so bad because of the failure that I face. I do everything to maintain my family. I sold rice (bankrupt), I sold insurance (I quit), I planted corn (no more permit from land owner), I became a dried fish shop keeper (bankrupt), I was investing in a computer shop (burned down to the earth), and now I open a small laundry on Kilos business (still run and hope it will grow faster and bigger). I do everything because I love my family. I do the best to fulfill their needs.

Now, my laundry has grown. Approximately we can earn about US$11 per day. It is not enough because my target is minimal US$40 per day. I need to upgrade my self and the human resources.

God also has the same feeling as a father. God wanted his children well feed, well grown, well on everything. But, when his children become naughty and disobeyed him, God become very upset.

God still take a very good care of his Children even he didn’t get what He wants in return. I know that feeling. Sometime when my daughter disobeyed me, I became angry but I still love her and always do the best to maintain her. I am a bad father, not like God a very good father. Even I am a bad father; I know ho to do the best for my children. How about a good father? I am very far below if comparing from Him.

When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt. As they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed unto Baalim, and burned incense to graven images. I taught Ephraim also to go, taking them by their arms; but they knew not that I healed them. Hosea 11:1-3 (KJV)

Become a disciple of Christ doesn’t mean that everything is okay. There are still many problems come. So, how I can be happy if there are still many problems come.

Two days ago, my beef was stolen, yesterday some one complained that the laundry was not clean yet, they are angry and wanted me to return their money, a week ago I can’t pay my credit card, I only can pay part of it, in this two days I must pay the catering fee, I don’t have enough money now and I hope that we can get the money from the laundry in this two days. Last month my father was sick and being stay in a hospital for 5 days and I am very worried about his health.

If I want to count the problems, I will be stressed and can not be happy anymore. But, I learn something. I can still happy even there are problems. I can still happy in God because god is stable. God doesn’t the same as my business, some time up and some time down. When I hang my happiness in my money, I will be happy when I get money and I will be unhappy when I pay something. And if I think about it, I will be unhappy rather than be happy because the condition recently is I lose more money than I get.

In the bible, the Israelites and Judah also got problems in their nations but they hung their happiness in the conditions. They didn’t hang their happiness in their God. The result, they become unstable and not believe in God anymore. They become sinners. They did what ever they want to do no more rules in their life.

Though I have bound and strengthened their arms, yet do they imagine mischief against me? They return, but not to the most High: they are like a deceitful bow: their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue: this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt. Hosea 7:15-16 (KJV)

God very upset with Israelites. Their relationship with God was not good. God feel that they are like the whore. How do I feel if I marry a whore wife? I also feel very mad and upset.

They didn’t really love God. They set their heart to the other god. Their heart was poisoned with the nations around. They worship another god and their attitude was not good. They committed sins like whoredom, Adultery, Wicked, Witchcraft, Money lovers, etc.

Because my relationship with God is like the relationship of husband and wife, so, I must sacred the relationship. I must make it holy and respectful. I must avoid sins and I must server Him.

Their drink is sour: they have committed whoredom continually: her rulers with shame do love, Give ye. The wind hath bound her up in her wings, and they shall be ashamed because of their sacrifices.

Hosea 4:18-19 (KJV)
