Touch the heart of God…

Touch the heart of God…

August 19, 2010

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)

Restorations…

Restorations…

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.

Just do what I suppose to do…

Just do what I suppose to do…

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.
