be an eagle !


The kind of quality that God requires from His warrior nowadays is not the usual kind of trait. How long you have been a Christian is never a matter when it comes to the end of the world, the same thing goes to the frequency of you attending every program your church has developed, or every service your church held, it is NEVER a matter. 

What matters in the eyes of God is about how far you let yourself to be shaped and created by God, so at the end you will come out in the exact shape with the total fulfillment of God’s requirement to be His bride.
Speaking of being shaped and created, one of the ways to execute it is for us to be processed

 Usually, in the journey of being the obedient Christian, you may find yourself at one particular time when you disagree with God. And that is very normal. Being processed, being battered and bruised come hand-in-hand. To be the eagle in your Christianity life, you have to be renewed in order to be powerful again. If we look more closely in the case of an eagle, when its getting old its starting to lose its strength and when eagles are about 30 years old, they go through a renewal process.  They find a secret place high in the mountains and begin to claw at their face and tear out the feathers that have been damaged over the years.  As a result, it bleeds badly. But this is necessary for the eagle in order to renew its strength.  If it did not do this, it would not be able to live to its normal 60 years of age.
And what eagles teach us about our Christianity life? Sometimes, God will reveal when it is the right time for you to really have to let go of things. God wants us His child to learn to let go of disappointment and debt, because those who owe you will never be able to pay their debt. Instead, Jesus sacrificed Himself to pay the debt that He did not owe you, and that’s MORE THAN ENOUGH for a total lifetime.


For you to be qualified, firstly let go of what is weighing you down, remember you can never be able to soar upwards if you are still holding on to what aging you spiritually and what holding you back in the fulfillment of God’s destiny in your life. Let go of the ownership of your own self, you are not the owner of your life, God is! Therefore, let His will be fully happening in your everyday life, in every breath that you inhale. Maybe, we suffer a lot, we suffer more than those whom we know in life, we think of how unfair life is, maybe there are a lot of struggle to follow Jesus because it is a 
big deal to enter the promise land of God.

So I pray for us to experience the fulfillment and completion of the promise of God not just because of our action, what we have done or what we have been giving out to Jesus because honestly our action will never be enough to compete with the greatness of God’s promises. Let us experience God in a whole new dimension and high level because of our commitment to Him, because of our heart for Him.

intimate time and the good of God

hey guys, firstly i apologize for the lack of post in this blog due to some personal matters. it was all my bad. whenever God asks me to post something, i kind of dismiss it. so :/
okay, moving on. so now i'm going to share something about "intimate time and the good of God"

so, this is actually more about my personal experience. it was last week when i experienced this.
that night i was about to sleep, i was all ready in bed, closed my eyes, and was all up to dream land. i was super exhausted as well, so i expected myself to sleep as soon as i laid myself on the bed.

but whats strange was that i actually couldn't sleep at all. so i grabbed my phone and decided to play some tracks by Hillsong and once again i tried to sleep away. 5minutes passed, 10minutes passed and still i couldn't really sleep. i didn't feel myself at peace that time, so i decided to just pray. hopefully, it would kinda give me some peace.
so, i sent some prayers, sang some praises. and this is what i got. i was reminded by God about this one particular moment of my life.
i have a dark past to be frank. i meant, i have been "abused". and to get out of that was not easy AT ALL. i meant, it was so painful to be in an abusive relationship, but getting out of there was even more painful for me. being abused is something like, being killed psychologically slowly. you know, like you seriously lose yourself day by day. its the feeling that you can't imagine. and i can't believe that i've been there before. i wasnt being abused physically but i was psychologically being abused. due to my past, i was degraded by someone who i thought would never do that to me. i was degraded, eventhough i have given everything literally everything. i even sinned, and that was my biggest mistake ever. but the best thing of me that i gave wasnt even enough for me to be free from the abusive relationship i was in.
i can't really tell every detail of it. but those days were the darkest days of my life i would say. by far, those were the darkest. i even lost myself. and i didn't know who i was anymore. till the day i let go of it, and i was born new again.
during those days, i couldn't see God. i was depressed. i was all sick, and my soul was like ripped out. i was totally wrecked. i wasn't strong enough to fight it back. and thats when i lost myself.
but now, im new. because of God. if He is not the God who is full of mercy and forgiveness, i would probably still be wrecked. it wasn't easy.
the feeling of being rejected, the feeling of being ashamed of, the filth, the feeling of losing yourself, and the worst is the feeling of knowing that you can't even accept your own self anymore, because you're just that low and dirty, and unforgivable. but trust me, our God Jesus will forgive you if you only come to Him and give all those depressing feelings up to Him. don't hold on to this feeling, but give it up to Him. because neither you or your family can heal the pain youve felt. its only God who can heal the wrecked soul and self.
so, that night. i was crying, not because i was sad. it was because i am so GLAD for having a figure like Jesus in my life. i'm so GLAD that i knew Him. i was reminded of just how good He is in my life. and that brought tears in my eyes.
if ive never given up my wrecked soul to Him, i would still be wrecked even until this point of time. but look at me, i am MORE THAN free now. i am NEW and FRESH. and this is what God wants me to be. because He just loves me that much, to even leave me broken.
so guys, you may have or may not have been in abusive relationship, and you DONT NEED TO anyway, to be able to feel the good of Jesus. its just some of us have to learn it in a hard and cruel way LOL.
but the point is, no matter what, give up everything to Jesus.
He will protect you, He will save you, He will never fail you.
and that night was the moment when i realized, its been God all the time. all the pain, all the tears, all the violence ive been through, all the outcries, its been God. not anyone else but God. and i know, there is A VICTORY AND BRIGHT FUTURE coming towards me, and its going to hit me real soon. and even before it comes, i already know, that GOD IS MY VICTORY.

Jesus be the center of our life

hello guys, sorry for neglecting this blog . well, now i'm ready to post regularly on this blog. :)
so today, i'm gonna share something about "Jesus be the centre of our life"

letting Jesus be the centre of our life is not easy. centre here really means when we are out of the path, we're gonna rebound back to the centre, which is Jesus.
so how does it really apply to our life?
when you received Jesus in your life, when you invited Him to come into your life, that really means that He is part of you. small instances that reflects this may be when you always ask for confirmation from Him. that reflects nothing but how dependant you are on Him.
one thing that i got today, "be rooted in the Kingdom of God". living in the kingdom of God.
one reason why this is so important : because the days are getting darker.

Ephesians 5:16 said that "Making the most of every opportunity because the days are evil"

this is actually one of the strategics that we could possibly apply in our life.
if we don't do this, we will easily fall in any circumstances. we will be depressed easily when we fail. we will feel as if we have the worst life.
i truly feel that when we always ask for confirmation from God, He'll definitely guide us to the right path. If He doesn't let us to do something, it only means that He has something even better for us.
God will always bless us, in everything we do, if only we do it for Him. we alive because we have destiny, most importantly destiny in Jesus.

Colossians 3:23 "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for the men".

Ephesians 6:7 emphasize the same point as well "Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord not men"

Recently, i just realized that still most of the time i decide myself. most of my life decision-making don't involve God. and that's probably the reason why i fail so many times. that's probably the reason why every work that you do seems like a failure, pointless, and exhausting.

BE A GOD'S SEEKER !

Loads of people running here and there, getting busier than ever in their life, involved in every activities that you can possibly think of. nothing is wrong about living your life to the fullest, and work your ass off.
what is wrong here is when you have no idea why you're doing all of those.
and even if you do, your reason is invalid and is not valid for eternity.
Ecclesiastes 1:14 said that "I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind"
so, you got the point guys ;)

Jesus at the center of it all. Jesus at the center of it all.
from beginning to the end, it'll always be, it's always been You Jesus
Jesus, nothing else matters. nothing in this world will do.
Jesus You're the center, everything revolves around You
Jesus be the center - Israel Houghton

God will be very pleased when we seek Him. be a God's seeker ! it only means that we trust , we have absolute confidence in Him and also we have chosen Him to be our partner in life.
when we turn ourselves into God's seeker, we are doing the will of God. 
Last but never the least, Matthew 7:21

“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven"

so again, be a God's seeker ! IT IS AN HONOUR !
