Genesis 37:9
37:9 And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me.
Dreams are something that is free and without limit. The dream is everyone's right. we are entitled to have dreams that are small or large. but the only question is whether that dream could come true. I think there are two categories of dreams, the dream of God or dream for yourself. characteristics if it is a dream from God then the dream will be very big. The dream was like a dream difficult to reach and it covers all aspects of life such as social, economic and political.
And the dream for yourself is a dream in the very small and only covers the physical things like houses, cars, wealth, etc..
that after a while you get a dream from God then you will see how great God-given vision to you. and one thing is sure that the dream of God must be realized if we want to work together well with the Lord.
now we see Joseph. Who is Joseph? Most young child among his siblings, not a king and his duty as a shepherd of sheep. At that time the Lord gave to Joseph a dream, a dream that a very large (covering of the universe: the sun, moon and stars). Preview of the dream of Joseph was very incredible.Not signed in mind as to rebuke His father Joseph. But one thing is for sure that Joseph telling a dream to Joseph brave father and his evil siblings. Joseph even willing to sacrifice for the dream with dumped in the well and sold as slaves.
This gives us a lesson that dreams need a sacrifice. The dream was not only right but also our responsibility. why is that? because God gave it to us. If we can not carry out a dream from God or even if we do not have or refuse a dream from God, then it can be ascertained that our life is FAILED. our life mundane.
This often happen to people who are married, where they're quite satisfied with their conditions: Got kids, a house, own a car, can save money, have a job, and finally finished! Will it happen to us as Christians.
Joseph satisfied by the Spirit of God, so that he could interpret the dreams of Pharaoh king. Yusuf different from anyone else at that time because Joseph is full of the wisdom of God.
when we get a dream from God so if we've satisfied by the Spirit of God. Spirit of God can live and lead our lives if we are humble and stay away from sin. Spirit of God is living in people who work diligently and have a high responsibility.
Joseph away from the crime, Joseph also did not repay evil with evil and that we can see that Joseph is a diligent and responsible. when he worked at the house of Potiphar, Joseph did not make the slightest sin and evil. although there is a golden opportunity to do things.maka this can serve as an example for us to fulfill the dream of God.
now let us ponder and question to ourselves is whether we already have and trying to fulfill the dream of God?
God bless you
Romans 14:17
God's kingdom isn't a matter of what you put in your stomach, for goodness' sake. it's what god does with your life as he sets it right,puts it together, and completes it with joy
kingdom of heaven is not about food or beverages. Heaven is more talk about the silk road, the truth and the life. that's why Jesus came into the world, namely to bring the kingdom of heaven on earth that could happen to us. Sometimes we are measuring the success of faith or spiritual level rise from physical things. we feel very blessed when we get a new car prize.We feel our faith successful when we get a new home. sometimes we feel like a failure if we have not managed to become rich. we feel like a failure when we have not got a mate, get a new job etc..
this is not correct.do we not need to have the desire to get a new car? what's the point to pray before eating? Whether we should not become rich?
This is a question we need to ponder on this day!
The Prioritize kingdom of heaven is a major thing in our lives. we do not fail when we still do not get Physical things. we called a failure if we can not defend our faith to Jesus. And we called a success when we can maintain salvation and do God give to us. an example: maybe we should sacrifice our treasure to the kingdom of heaven and even if we are insulted, or we fail to get a job just because we are Christians, then in fact we are called as the man who succeeded.
unsuccessful because the faith is more beautiful than succesful because only a physical thing. Rejoice in the holy Spirit is eternal compared to rejoice in worldly things.
but whether we still do not need a car or a house ?
Yeah, we should have it. God does not want us poor and God also wants us to be blessed by it, but let our lives focusing on spiritual things. Property only as a means to reach the kingdom of heaven. property we can use to magnify God's name in place of the Most High. so the property is as a bonus and facilities from God to spread the gospel of the kingdom of heaven.
just as we worked in the office by wearing clothes and shoes. our goal is not our shoes and clothes, but our goal is to finish our job and earn wages to feed our families. So we should really focus on the kingdom of heaven.
Start today ask the Lord Jesus that we may have a heart to focus on the kingdom of heaven. GBU
John 14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
A good teacher will give all his knowledge to his disciples. The more the students were smarter then the teachers will be pleased. But sometimes not all students become smarter. There is a poor student, and there is a good student. For a poor student so he must to struggle with the studied harder so that he can absorb knowledge from the teacher. And for smart student,he will continue to learn, but without a great struggle to be able to absorb knowledge from the teacher.
After completion the study of teacher, the students will do the practice. So there is a practically test. Practice that students did usually around the science he had learned. Suppose a medical student for public departments will conduct practice in the field of medicine for the general ddepartmen and not in the surgical department. Likewise, culinary students will practice in the field of culinary and not food production instead.
But Jesus is different. Jesus is our teacher gave us a promise that students will be able to do jobs is greater than Jesus ever did. Provided that trust. We believe that Jesus came from the Father in heaven. We believe that Jesus is able.
When we believe in Jesus indeed had become a disciple of Jesus. And as students we are given to do the jobs God had done. Even bigger!
One example is the apostle Peter. The Apostle Peter had healed the sick as a sick person touched his shadow. (Act 5:15). Jesus previously had never done .The apostle Peter was a disciple of Jesus and the Apostle Peter certainly has done a greater work than Jesus never did.
At the moment we often hear the evangelists make a worship attended by a thousands of people. And in worship there are so many people who are healed. Even just by putting hiss hand on the television or listening on the radio the name of Jesus alone and pray together, they become cured. That is a big job that God had done.I also believe that when you read this article then the Holy Spirit will be poured out in your life and you can do extraordinary work for God's name glorified.
So now it's time we increase our faith to believe in the Lord Jesus. Because there are many great jobs we have to do to glorify the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
God bless you
Matthew 20:1-16
20:1 For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an Householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.
20:2 And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
20:3 And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace, 20:4 And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way.
20:5 Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did Likewise.
20:6 And about The Eleventh Hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?
20:7 They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive.
20:8 So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first.
20:9 And when they came that were hired about The Eleventh Hour, they received every man a penny.
20:10 But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they Likewise received every man a penny.
20:11 And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of the house, 20:12 Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the Burden and heat of the day.
20:13 But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny?
20:14 Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee.
20:15 Is it not Lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good?
20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.
If a company provides the same wage for all workers and employees. Starting from managers to factory workers. So there will happen a severe protest by workers at the factory. The manager will complain to the owner of the company because his salary equal to the workers. But workers will not complain because he felt that was enough.
But in the verses above, we seemed to see injustice. lord of the vineyard gave the same wage. Those who work very early, those who work at 9 am, those who work at 3 and 5 evening receive the same wages in the night.
though the workers at morning protest to the master of the wine, but the master was still giving the same wage to them of all. If we look at it logically, this parable is like the parable of the unjust. Kingdom of heaven is described by something that is not fair.
However, if we more research with thorough and we have a very valuable lesson. principles of human justice was different from the principle of God justice. What is considered human is not necessarily fair for God. God is lord who created us. So God has the right of our life. God also have complete control over our lives.
we can not protest when we are born in poor families. We also can not protest when we are born into conditions of disability. God knows what's happening in the next period over us.
Just as when we make a glass ceramics. We can make a glass ceramic with any model. but certainly the glass ceramic will not protest to us.
but 1 thing for sure is: that God gives what is best for the child He loved. So, we should really be pleasing to God. so we obtain an abundant blessing from the Lord Jesus
Romans 9:18
Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
A new story is interesting for me to read. A mathematical scientists reject the gift of USD 1 billion. He refused the gift after he had solved the riddle of the most difficult math in the world. Prizes are awarded by the Clay Mathematics Institute USA. And the man's name is Dr. Grigory Perelman, from Russia. He made the statement that the money is not everything and he was not interested in fame. even all what is he doing this would make him famous indirectly.
Lord Jesus did the outside of human reason. He should enjoy the throne of the kingdom of heaven is truly beautiful, He should be able to destroy evil and sinful human beings and surely we can not protest. But what happens is done. he is going to suffer death on the cross for the love of mankind and for the promise He had said. He was committed to His pledge to make our lives perfect.
We can imagine now that He must go through the trials devil in the wilderness. He must be fast as if Jesus wanted and He can cancel all of His promises to not have to suffer hunger. Jesus has left the comfort zone for us.
Now that the question is: whether can we leave our comfort zone for the sake of our love for Jesus?
We do not need to be crucified!!, We do not need to get 40-day hunger by not eating and drinking!! but we only need to obey His orders that were not heavy!
In this section we often forget. Jesus taught us to not love the world, but love Him with all our heart, but once we've got the money we forget God's grace. Once we've got a mate we often forget to give thanks to God.
Many christian also often do not stand in a ministry. For reasons of time and place many christian are often not present in a ministry. So what happens is? many christian have not the mentality of Jesus but as a mental of money. As world say 'No money no service'
So on this day let us be earnest commitment to leave the comfort zone that we have to get the kingdom of heaven zone.
God bless you
Daniel 3: 24-25
3:24 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied, and rose up in haste, and spake, and said unto his Counselors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king.
3:25 He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego is a picture of children of God who truly trust to uphold the faith in God. Although the king Nebuchadnezzar put them in a very hot fire, but their faith is not shaken. The fear and horror was in front of their sight. The image of pain and suffering also was in front of their sight. But they still would not worship the statue that is considered a gods by men. They just want to worship only for the true God. Their faith and determination finally was paid by God. They experienced God's miracles. They did not burn at all because the angel of God helped them. God really follow people those who fear of Him.
fireplace burning is a picture of the suffering that we experience today. Economic difficulties, illness, a broken family is a frightening image for us. Looks like we will experience suffering in front of us. While the world seems to offer something better and convenient to resolve our problem. There are paranormal who can cure you immediately, there was illegal business that can generate huge profits, there are also bars and casinos, which seemed to give peace to our souls. Everything was quick and easy. All the world offer is very interesting and unusual.
In this area God examine our faith. Will we still keep faithfuly to God even the shadow of suffering is in front of our sight? Will we still worship God even we are in trouble?
When we join and follow the way of the world, then the truth is we are leaving God and we worship the idols of the world. But when we keep the faith to worship only the Lord Jesus then the truth is God's angels are accompanying you to fortify you from the suffering. Remember! That the safety of the world is only temporary and only on the earth while the salvation of the Lord Jesus is the eternal and everlasting to the earth and in heaven forever

James 3:5 "Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!"
A large cruise ships will be able to reach a destination if he is driven by people who can drive them. The big ships will not have any function if no one can drive. And even if the driver has a physical body that is much smaller than the cruise ship but the safety passengers and smoothness of travel lies in the hands of the driver.
Likewise our lives. Life is very large and valuable will be able to reach this goal if we as a driver capable of driving properly. One member of body which very large of it's role is the tongue. The tongue was not reinforced and the tongue is a member of the smallest bodies. However, if the things that come out through the tongue are the words which the waste will be in vain did our lives.
The saying that good out of good heart. Our brain functions to control our limbs. So if the good heart of this response by our brain is our body will do good movement. The tongue will move to say a kind word, our hands will easily and sincerely giving and we will step foot into the right place.
A different matter if our hearts were depressed, so our brains are full of anxiety will be easily ordered members of our bodies to do not good. Harsh words may be spoken out through our mouths, our hands will easily hit people or we can step foot into a place of prostitution or gambling.
All stemmed from our own hearts. And humans can not repair the spiritual damage of another man in his own way. Something higher is the Lord Jesus, He was the one who is able to restore the human condition spiritually or physically ill. Today let us make our hearts to be good. The trick is to close ourselves to the source of the goodness of the Lord Jesus Christ. Then believe that the members of our body will always do something good that will change our lives for the better and perfect. God bless you Jesus Christ is our God

Matthew 8:20 And Jesus saith unto him, The Foxes have
holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son
of man hath not where to lay His head.
“Follow Jesus Christ” requires a commitment and sacrifice. When we follow Jesus, we're out of comfort zone. This means that “the problem” and “events not fun” will be part of our lives.A steadily Pharisee said that he wanted follow Jesus. Wherever Jesus went and he wanted followed Him. But Jesus did not respond with "yes and follow Me "but He answered " The Foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay His head. "
It was an uncomfortable answer. Answer which means "trouble". But earlier when
we trace from the book of Matthew was before the Pharisee was saying so we will see various kinds of miracles. Jesus healed the sick, Jesus healed the paralytic, Jesus even expel Satan. Jesus along with the people doing some miracles so that people can see the greatness
Jesus. The people might think that it good to follow Jesus. We will never hurt because
Jesus can heal. We will never starve because Jesus could feed 5000 people. We will become rich because Jesus is the king of the mighty rich.
Maybe that's what people and Pharisee mind. But Jesus knew what was on our minds. Jesus knew what is best for us. Jesus wants us to have the right motivation in the follow Him. Because the right motivation will make us a truly a son of king. Financial problems, isolation, illness
disease that struck us when we follow Jesus will makes us really depend on Him. This will make us more perfect in the presence of God and Man. God Bless you
Jesus Christ is our God
1 Jhon 5:2-4
5:2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep His commandments.
5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and His commandments are not grievous.
5:4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
Sometimes people like to receive the task which is not hard or heavy. By performing tasks that are not heavy then we do not need to spend a lot of energy or mind. Maybe with one-way then the task will be resolved. If there is a task meant there is a person who is giving the task. Assignor or, we know as a our boss have the authority to regulate us through the task which he gave. We have a duty as executor obligation to complete the task. In outline there are two reasons to make the task
be easy:
1. Because the task is in line or below the our ability
2. Because the authority and facilities who was given by our boss
If the task given by our superiors that appropriate or below our ability it is certain that the task It will be resolved properly. We easily
controlling factors in the failure task. But this will not bring
changes or grow in our work. Because there is no added value that can make us grow
An easy task because of the authority and facilities from our boss made us more careful in the complete the task. Although the task was hard but if accompanied with complete facilities and a letter the authority of the employer's then the task will be easier. For example, if a subordinate is asked to
take a luxury car in a car showroom. So with armed with a letter from the boss, we will easily taking the luxury cars. And if not armed letter from the employer's Then the task does not necessarily can be done. Someaone who having authority or facility is someone who the trust superiors. Of course is not easy to gain trust it. It takes time and devotion.
Likewise, us as followers of God. Brief the tasks given by the Lord was heavy. We
must live holy and has the most holy faith. But the words of God says that the task who given by God is not heavy. Why not heavy? The answer is because we've given the authority and facilities by God to do the task. We were Spirit facility. The Holy Spirit enables us to act in accordance with the will of God. Holy Spirit reminds us if we are out of the path of God. Spirit sacred works for us with His calm and soft voice . The authority is also given to us. Because we are the children of God. With this authority we can pray to the Father. We can cast out demons in the name of Jesus. We can even heal the sick. It's all because authority and facilities provided
God for us.
But there is one condition that we have to do that all this happens. That we must love Jesus with all our heart. We must be fully born of God and not from this world. We must willingly and firmly believe in the Lord Jesus. So we will win agains the world who was controlled by the evil that the devil . Gbu
Matthew 7:21
7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Christianity is not religion, because being a Christian means to be followers of Christ. Deeds and behavior should be like Jesus. Jesus himself teaches us about perfect life. Therefore, in his word in Matthew 5:48 says
5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
Perfection of life means we have the most holy faith (Jude: 1
1:20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,) and The most holy faith must build through the life which rooted in Christ.
At the time Jesus came into the world, Jesus did not focus His doctrine of salvation only to those who understand the words of God (the scribes). Jesus came for sinners. Jesus came to fulfilled the law. So we are no longer bound by the law but free from the snare of sin and death. This is indirectly a pledge that the only people who know Jesus and make His will be known by Jesus. Although that person is not an Israeli or scribes or even a high official. Only someone who have faith and be accompanied by deeds or the reading His Word and do His word will is called is called as a heir of kingdom of heaven. Beyond that, Jesus did not know them even if they shout loudly His name as if to know Him
We have Jesus again emphasized to us that we seeks to truly know Him. Arrival Jesus in the second time was near. And has appeared said that Jesus did not see our religious identity. Jesus did not see our offices. Perhaps our office is a priest or a prayer or a servant of God. Maybe our positions are too Christian for 15 years, or religious teachers. But if we do not act reflects the love of Christ and no effort from us to know Him, then surely the Lord Jesus did not
will know us as well.
Matthew 7:22-23
7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
And even if we are not Christians but we trying to know Him and do His will, then
Lord Jesus must have known us
Matthew 7:24
7:24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
The church not only serves as a means just place of worship and praying .The Church is the means we encounter with Jesus. If we have a business to know Him, we must have a business to meet with him. As we in church so we can choose 2 status is:
1. As someone who the status religion is Christian
2. As citizens of the kingdom of heaven
As someone who the status religion is Christian
As someone who the status religion is Christian the church just mere formality as a duty and an obligation to worship. My duty is to pray and worship at sunday. If not worship so I will not be referred to as theChristian. Maybe if I did not enter the church I would scolded by parents, neighbors left and right will seen as a holy man when I came to church or maybe I'm falling in love with a girl in that church so I had to come to that church on Sunday weeks .. People who like this didn’t know by God. Word of God delivered through the pulpit the church was not well received and he was only met with church members only. Humans only met with people in the church. What is gained? Of course he did not get anything. Living water flow not flows in the life and light of God Jesus does not shine in his heart. Her life was in the dark so that the Lord Jesus did not know him though he had to the church. People who like this must change ways of thinking and lifestyle. There should turn away from sin then the light of Christ will shine again in his heart. So he will met as real with God Jesus
As citizens of the kingdom of heaven then Church is the source of from our desire to meet with the Lord Jesus.During the 6 days we work and on Sunday we really love to meet with HIs
love. We did not meet with the pastor or the congregation. But we meet with God, listening to His words. Praise we sing really become forces that fill our spirits. Longing grew
strong when we listen HIS word. We can receive Word of God and we can make it as a Rhema in our lives. Church is not a place anymore but it is our encounter with God which has formed in our heart and manifested in our behavior and our lives daily. Jesus has promised us that He is not only provide water to our lives but He made us a source of true water of life:
John: 4
4:14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
Of course for these people then God has known him. God pleased to continue His work through HIS children who are citizens of the kingdom of heaven. And certainly our lives
will emit His magical light that has destroy the darkness in our hearts and radiated out through the darkness around us. Eventually later the second coming of Jesus, time which
so we would miss it .Jesus Christ the King still knows us and we will inherit the kingdom
HIS paradise filled with love and kindness.
Say that
Jesus Love me
Jesus care everything about you
Jesus saved my life
Jesus save me
Genesis 7:1 And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.
Serving God means doing the will of God. The basic of Ministry is love. Love is patient, generous and not jealous. Love is gentle and like to give. Love which formed within us is a form of life which afraid of God. The fear of the Lord means sensitive in the listen to HIS voice. Sensitive also in understanding HIS will. And in the end we can get an honor to perform the command of our King :Jesus Christ ,our Lord and our God.
Age at the time of Noah, people lived in the violence. Love of mankind has been lost. God willing to Noah because Noah live in love. Noah get along with God. So what is done by humans at that time was not done by Noah. But what commanded by God, it will be done Noah. Noah able to hear the voice of God. But before having ability, Noah lived under God willing. This is the formula for us to be able to listen to HIS voice. Perhaps in these days we can see an example of the fear of God like when many of our friends who discussing the ugliness of a servant of God and
When we do not participate in a conversation then We also have stepped to the life of the fear of
God. Because of course God is not pleased with it. What world say we do not follow it. But what God says that's what our favorite.
From a Prophet Noah, we can dig up so much lessons and the ways we walk with God. Until we succeed and we will be perfect as our Father in the heaven that is perfect.
Just like what the word of God and Life with the fear of God
God gave the command to Noah to make ark. A command that is not reasonable and is a madness to those around him. At the time, Noah has a choice . Do you have to obey the "crazy" or This unreasonable or just following orders those with no objections. Since Noah lived with associate with God and the fear of God Noah did all that "right" as what is God commanded (Gen. 6:22). This applies also For those of us who live along familiar with God, maybe we've got a command that is not signed sense or something impossible by peoples around us. When we have a bad financial condition, God gave us the order to donate most of our money to the church. Or when we only has a vehicle that's just one but God commands us to give it to church ministry. Will we fear God? Have we have a sense that what we do had an incredible impact for our neighbor's life? Because God created man and earth, then God must have a plan for the good of us . By doing right and not a half or maybe 99% then the real God is at work perfectly to improve our lives. live Noah is perfect as this is what we should pursue.
Faithful
At the time of Noah began to make an ark, is estimated age is 500 year old (Genesis 5:32). And when Noah completion the Ark , the age of noah 600 year old (Genesis 7:6). So the time used for make the ark, it is approximately 100 years ever. 100 years is not a short time. The take about a tenth of the life of Noah. ( age Noah was 950 years: Genesis 9:29). Loyalty Noah in the work of the Lord make a incredible results. Because of the results then human life is remain there until now. Noah-tested in the addressing the environment around him. Noah is a diligent man in his job God. We can imagine that how arrogant and cruel man at that time. During the 100 years, Noah diligent and reliability to face it. From day to day Noah successful through the trial there. And this fits with as the apostle Paul said:
Romans 5:3-5
5:3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
5:4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
5:5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
persistence and reliability is essential for us who wants to succeed to walk with God. Perseverance and this reliability should also be based by hope. So that we can measure how strong we can stand the test of the friction of our brothers. Although there is no rain or rivers, but the command God to make the ark should be run. Although we made hate by people because we follow the Lord but we still love God. Services continued to roads with steady hope. This steady Hope is a pillar of perseverance and realibility so if we do not have hope then our realibility and persistence is dead. God must keep HIS promise. Evidence of this is poured out HIS Spirit and the grace in our lives (Verse 5). And this is the strength and equipment of our Ministry.
God wants us to give the best for His ministry
Genesis 6:14 ordered Noah to make an ark of gopher wood . What is The gopher wood? Gopher wood is wood that would very strong. Wood is able to resist the power of the large water waves. If we had heard disaster "Tsunami" the wood is gofir able to withstand tsunami waves with a strong and balanced (not easy inverted). So that it can be concluded that the wood gofir is the strongest wood and the best at that time. In then God is not instructed Noah to find another timber. May also lumber or wood cheap. We can think what would happen if Noah make an ark of wood is lower than the wood teak. Gopher Wood illustrates that God wants us to give the best part of any His ministry. Providing the best is a God's command. What the best of us to give to God? All the best that God would be returned multiplied times double on us. God is the best in our lives, so the best will produce the best. And with the best that accompaniment then we will be successful and impact unusual for our neighbor. Are you ready to make breakthrough in our lives? So give the best for glory of God.
Submit the impossible to God
Book Genesis events also noted the big things that need to Noah do to fulfill God's command. Among them are collect all the animals in this world in pairs (male female). Noah also must meet the criteria for a complex God in the making ark. At that time no one to help Noah other than large families. It is impossible with a number of the people of Noah could fulfill God's command. But in fact the Ark stood and the animals also collected and entered
into the ark. What's the secret that the impossible can be achieved? Noah at the time of receiving the command of God, he did not protest objection. He did not say "I could not afford". But Noah just does not say anything and do the God job with what it is. Noah's life expectancy depend only to God. Noah trust fully in God. Including the inability, he submitted to God. God had helped the ministry of Noah. God make all the impossible becomes real. The duty of Noah to collect the animals was easy. Because the animals come practically to the ark. (Genesis 7: 9). Noah gain strength to make the ark with his family. This means that Noah always communicate to the Lord. God provide it. So it is with Us! When we say "yes" for God and all these things will Lord give for us. When we think Just what God commands, God will provide on our strengths. And when we continue to communicate with God then everything all the questions will answered. Our inability to be a reason for God to make us perfect. Our Services and accompaniment will be blessed by God and for certain people people will see how incredible God worked HIS work.
Family of God
Noah was a good family head. He could educate their children well, so make Noah's family saved (see event Genesis 7:1). Responsibilities Noah answered in this family is also a factor success in doing God's work. Within Book genesis events God does not give the command to Noah should be the head of household good first . Noah already know that it is his duty and responsibilities. This means that ministry and accompaniment the Lord's starting from a good family. Good Family is right in front of God will make real God's work. So if we still find our families are still not true in the presence of God then it becomes our duty to serve our families. God's love with families true. This true unity will make the unity of which can flow the full blessing of God to the others among us.
5:24 And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.
Genesis 5: 24 (KJV)
Walk with God, is a beutiful thing that we must do. Walk with God means to make a good relation with God.
Because God is Good all the time. Enoch walked with God and God took Him. Elijah walked with God too and God took him
2 kings 2:11 And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared achariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
And the last: Jesus "the son of God" walked with God His Father and Jesus can save us from dead.God took Him and Jesus carried up into Heaven
Luke 24:51 And it came to pass, while He blessed them, He was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.
Now the question is :did i walk with God? Is God to be my friend?
When we walk with God, we must destroy the world think.
The world think is 1 +1 =2 but God think is 1 + 1 = more and more than 2 ( five loaves, and two fishes can gave 5000 people eated and still had 12 baskets full)
so Walk with God is change your world mind with God mind. Just do what Jesus say!!Just do now !!
BUT the problem is sometimes we still use the world mind to walk with Jesus.Sometimes we say "I want" than "God Want"
For example: I want to getting rich with corruption in my office. Because it is a good situasion and posisition for corruption.
I want to get her to be my girl friends with tell liar. Because she seems to be interested to me when i drive a limousine.
I want, but God did't want and when we still do "i want" then something problem is coming. You fired from your job,
maybe you have a big loan to be finish, or your life is empty and get fear everyday and etc.
God can carried up you from your problem. God can make your life is perfect. and before the end of the world surely God
will rapture you to be a part of someone in heaven. so... walk with God now!! Give the best you do to God.
To walk with God meaning that we must enter to His ministry
Maybe you think that i can not enter to His Ministry, I can not sing, i can not pray for the other people,maybe i can not drive , or i have a very-very busy job because i have not enough money and the other other many reason.
but when you destroy your world mind, surely you can do something imposible. Maybe Your job is very busy, but the Grace of God still come to you. Your position in Job is better then past your body is still healthy.Maybe You have a good girlfriend in which your girlfriend is a person who push you to still pray and praise to God
Phillipians (KJV)4:8
"Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest,
whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely,
whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."
the name of Jesus will be glorified.Proof it now !!!

"Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk." Act 3:6 (King James version)
