Faithfulness

Deuteronomy 28:13 And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them:

Deuteronomy 28:14 And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.

We can become head if we stay still to listen to the will of God and do what He wants faithfully. Faithfulness is a character. We have to pay a price to have that character. Keep to listen what God say trough His bible and Do what are written in it.

Revelation 3:16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

Keep spirited in God. Let your spirit burned and serve God with full heart and with full mind. Spent time to speak with God everyday.

Family

I Kings 18:36 And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that I have done all these things at thy word.
I Kings 18:37 Hear me, O LORD, hear me, that this people may know that thou art the LORD God, and that thou hast turned their heart back again.
18:38 Then the fire of the LORD fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.

Elia called the name of God and not let any fear conquer him. Then the fire of God came down. There must be an offering to set fire. What an offering is? It must be something very special. The most valuable thing in your life.

To become salt and light in our daily life, The fire of God must be in us. We have to make sacrifice to let the fire of God burn us then we can move according to God's will. It is our characteristics and nature as a christian to give fruit to everything near us. Let Lord Jesus come to our live, and He will shine His blessing and anointing upon us so we can become light and salt in the earth.

Building the altar of God in our family

God is power and from Him we can get our spirit and strength to build the house of God and the altar for God. We need to stay connected to God through our prayer (especially in the morning). Let us see our family, is the altar already there? we can see it by looking at how we treat our family.

to build the altar of God in our family :

Joshua 24:14 Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the LORD.
Joshua 24:15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
Joshua 24:16 And the people answered and said, God forbid that we should forsake the LORD, to serve other gods;

> Commitment to build our private relationship with God. Fix the broken relationship
> Stay away from this world gods
> Be the one who start to build ( don't wait until somebody else do it for you )
> Become a blessing to your family

The fire of the Lord is our source of power. From ourselves we can save our family then we can save our nation. I am a young man, and I want to become the arrow that shot by God to the opponent. I want to live my life to become a sacrifice to pleasure God and I am struggling to conquer my flesh.

War

Starting from 27th December, we all hear the sound of war in Gaza, middle east. We can see many people dead, whether from Palestine or Israel itself. War is full of pain, blood, and hatred. Actually, I often ask, Is war really a normal situation that created by human? Or what did God say about war? And what did bible say about it? Me,myself feel a deep pain in my heart when I saw those people out there suffer from bullets, rockets, and nightmares.

It’s all because of Sin

Genesis 1:31 ” And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.”
God have made this world in perfect condition. But, in Genesis 3 sin come into human lives and ruin every good things. Evil try to put greediness and selfishness in our daily life. The earth becomes unfriendly to us and days become harder day after day.

Human now has egoism and this is the root of all war. The first kill is when Cain beat Abel to death, after that killing after killing happen over time until now. When we were kids we like to fight each other for having toys. We are getting older and keep fighting, fight for money, job, woman, or even territory.

If we look at the past, More than 15000 wars happened since 3600 BC until now and More than 4 Billion lifes gone. Just imagine how much loss of money that we got from war. We can use all of that money to build hospitals, schools, and feed the hunger and give better life for the poor. A belt to circle around the earth that made from gold and have 144 km widht and 1,5m in thickness can be made from all the money that we spent for war.
