Angels from God…

Angels from God…
August 08, 2010

Yesterday I share that I am in a trouble. Today I spend some times with my friends that come from Jakarta to Medan. We are very happy they come to Medan. They are our church counselor. I and my wife seek advice from them.

We find out that we must learn to unite to make a decision. We have problem in financial. And today we know that we are not uniting when we make a decision in financial. God doesn’t bless us because of that.

We also learn that we must pray before we make a plan. So, before we have any plan, we must pray for God to give us plan. That’s why I always failed. Now, I and my wife must pray again and ask for plan from God.

My friend, Ivan and Alice are like angles from God. God send them to save us from the trouble. Like Daniel in the cave of Lions. God send angle to save him from the mouth of lions. Thanks God.

My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt.
Dan 6:22 (KJV)

I make a decree, That in every dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel: for he is the living God, and stedfast for ever, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed, and his dominion shall be even unto the end.
Dan 6:26 (KJV)

Stand still in the side of God…

Stand still in the side of God…

Usually I can pay my 10% contribution full. But now I don’t think I can pay it anymore. I don’t have enough money even to feed my family. I am very sad because my business still can not earn enough profit to maintain my family. Tomorrow when I pay my 10% contribution, may be it is the last money that I have in the wallet.

Today I read the Holy Bible from the book of Daniel. His friend, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, got a problem that sentenced them to death. The king of Babylon push them to worship other god, they didn’t want to do it. The king of Babylon put them into a great flame to burn them until death. But, even their life is not safe, God still take care of them.

After they were out from the flame, the king awarded them a big land. They became rich and famous and their God become well known in the whole Babylon.

Even I am in a trouble time, I must stand in the side of Jesus Christ. I don’t know what will happen to me and my family, good or bad, I will always worship my God, Jesus Christ.

Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace, and spake, and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, ye servants of the most high God, come forth, and come hither. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, came forth of the midst of the fire Dan 3:26 (KJV)

Therefore I make a decree, That every people, nation, and language, which speak any thing amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill: because there is no other God that can deliver after this sort. Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, in the province of Babylon.
Dan 3:29-30 (KJV)

The name is ‘The Lord is there’…

Today may be hard for me. I don’t have enough money anymore to pay the credit card. Actually I don’t spend money for the useless thing. I buy rice, food stuff, my daughter needs, my wife needs, insurance and car repairing. I don’t use it for leisure, fun, entertainment, etc. I just use it for my family needs.

There are more people come to my laundry store if I compare with few month ago but it still not enough for me. The earning is still not enough to maintain my family. I am now also run a simple online bookstore in the http://books-kosyono.blogspot.com but still not help yet. I wish there are helps from God (directly or via some one or via anything).

When I read the book of Ezekiel in the bible, I don’t understand why God still give a vision to Ezekiel about the border of the lands for the 12 tribes of Israel. In the bible said that the Israelites have taken captive by the Babylonians and have no more land to own.

May be God wanted to encourage the Israelites that even they were in troubled time, God still take care of them. God still have a good plan for them. Yes, I can see it because God name the land: The Lord is there.”

I am very touched when I know God still the same now. When I am in trouble, God wants me to know that “He is here”.

It was round about eighteen thousand measures: and the name of the city from that day shall be, The Lord is there. Ezek 48:35 (KJV)
