Submit to the elder

20 January 2008, Sunday

Today Ps David used the bible verses Exodus 32:1-14 to show us the love which from God towards us by testimonial of Moses. Besides that, I personally also received something regard the submitting to the spiritual leader.

In our daily life, we will find someone that we think is better or more understanding to talk with when we faced difficulty or unhappiness. However, the someone really is the right person to talk with? Moreover, his or her opinion really can help us come out from the problem that we faced?

In Exodus 32:1-6, all the Israelite that started to worry because Moses had already not with them for forty days. Therefore, they decided to ask Aaron to make them a god that will able to protect them. In this case, they did something right and something wrong, the right thing was they submitted to their spiritual leader; but the wrong thing was though Aaron is one of the spiritual leader at that time but his spiritual maturity still not that strong yet. End out he came out with a conclusion that made a golden calf to be their god...

Actually when we faced problem, confusion, difficulty or unhappiness, we should talk with our spiritual leader or someone that spiritually mature, so you able to receive some Godly advice or solution that is from God, not from satan and devil. Though you may think that the spiritual leader is not understanding enough, so you decide to find someone that you think they are more understanding, which actually their spiritual maturity is most likely same as you or maybe even worse than you. End out you will receive some funny advice which will not solve your problem and the worse is lead you into more and more of confusion...

But don't worry, even though Aaron at 1st is spiritual not mature, but after he trained by God, he become one of the great leader in the bible, so I believe that the someone that used to give you wrong advise will become a great leader that spiritually mature!

Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for "God resists the proud, but give grace to the humble." 1 Peter 5:5

You Know Better Than I

I thought I did what's right
I thought I had the answers
I thought I choose the surest road
But that road brought me here
So i put up a fight
And told you how to help me
Now just when i have given up
The truth is coming clear


You know better than i
You know the way
I've let go the need to know why
For You know better than I


If this has been a test
I cannot see the reason
But maybe knowing
I don't know is part of getting through
I tried to do what's best
But faith has made it easy
To see the best thing i can do
Is to put my trust in You.


For, You know better than i
You know the way
I've let go the need to know why
For You know better than I


I saw one cloud and thought it was a sky
I saw a bird and thought that i could follow
But it was You who taught that bird to fly
If i let You reach me
Will You teach me.


For, You know better than i
You know the way
I've let go the need to know why
I'll take what answers you supply
You know better than I

Walk On The Water

Suddenly something come out from my mind that,
"Followers of Christ walk on the water everyday!"

Matthew 14:28-30,
Peter, by faith he walked on the water,
but when he saw that wind was boisterous,
he started to lose his faith towards God and he beginning to sink into water..

Followers of Christ, by faith we believe that God has take care of our needs,
and He also protect us from any kind of problem, difficulty and persecution.
Just like Peter walk on the water by faith.

And satan is the thief that come to steal, kill and destroy,
he and his devils always snake into people's life to create all kind of problems,
give us every kind of wrong idea, try to use lust, greed and pride to trap God's people,
in order to make God's people lose their faith and focus towards God..
When God's people start to fear, start to turn away from God,
we will sink into water..

God's grace is sufficient to everyone of us,
He also give sufficient grace to Peter,
just that his old nature make him chose the wrong decision..

God's people, may God open up your eyes so that you can make a correct decision!
Though the situation around us is seen like scary,
it seen like really hard enough to kill us,
but we should not be so chicken!
We should keep your eyes to our LORD Jesus!

Psalm 118:14 "The LORD is my strength and song, And He has become my salvation"

Psalm 91:7-16 (NKJV)

"A thousand may fall at your side,
And ten thousand at your right hand;
But it shall not come near you."

"Only with your eyes shall you look,
And see the reward of wicked."

"Because you have made the LORD,who is my refuge,
Even the Most High, your dwelling place,"

"No evil shall befall you,
Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;"

"For He shall give His angels charge over you,
To keep you in all your ways."

"In their hands they shall bear you up,
Lest you dash your foot against a stone."

"You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra,
The young lion and the serpent you shall trample undersfoot."

"Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him;
I will set him on high, because he has known My name."

"He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble;
I will deliver him and honor him."

"With long life I will satisfy him,
And show him My salvation."

28 December 2007
I went back to hometown with my brother(Jimmy) to join the house warming that organised by my dad. It is a real big event, many people of my hometown and also most of my relative joining..Luckily me and my brothers reached there quite late, if not need to say,"hi" and help to serve all my dad's friends..
Actually not that i don't like this kind of event, just that i don't like all the people there gather together just to talking nonsence, smoking and drinking alcoholic..Especially when all the aunty grab the foods desperately in fact not that they all hungry, just that they don't want to at the disadvantage situation..
At KL i also do join this kind of gathering, like me and Karen they all go to eat dinner at restaurant telepon or sometime me and my church members eat together, all of us have fun, enjoy the food, talking about the great commision of Christ, give thanks on what God have done in our life..I like this kind of gathering!

29 December 2007
Early in the morning, all of my family members eat breakfast together. Suppose is a nice and happy breakfast time, but when my brother told my parents about he going to join full time ministry, my dad very angry and scold that,
"Are you crazy? Why not you spend more time in earn money rather than doing the church event?"
"Now in your mind only have Jesus, do you still remember who is the one that spend money to raise you up? Is Jesus or your dad?"
Me and Jimmy also remain silent and didn't argue with him, because when my dad get angry, is useless to explain to him..Luckily my mom not that serious and only concern on how Jimmy going to survive without working..
I do understand that my parents is really really love us so that scold us and want us to have a good life, i really happy about it..Just that i also hope to let them know that we also love him very much, our love toward them won't lesser than how them love us..But somehow they just misunderstand..
End out my father still not that happy, praise God that he still willing to talk to us..

Father God I pray for you that, make a way for me and Jimmy to show the goodness of Christ to our parents and also my eldest brother..We love them very much, we want to meet them at heaven..We want them to experience the blessing which is You..

I believe that I will have a good result even though my study time is not much! Because God is with me, when i use my time to do His work, He will take care my needs!
And also my brother, as he go into full time serve God, he will be have a prosper life and more than enough!
As the bible said,"but seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these thing shall be added to you" Matthew 6:33

May God bless those that experience similar situation like me! Stay strong for Him, His grace is more than enough to face all kind of situation! Amen!
