God always supply

There was one time I gone back hometown for my mom birthday. During that period, I had very little money in my pocket, I was going through a financial hard time. But anyway, i just gone back. And in a Sunday morning, i attended a church nearby my home (about 40 kilometer from my home, it's actually not so near). I attend this church only once every 4-5 months, because i don't go back hometown that often for it's quite far from where I'm staying now.

In that Sunday morning i was very sleepy because i didn't sleep well in past few night, but i still went to church because want to live up to my identity as a christian, praise God and listen to the His words. So I reached the church and went into the hall, unlike last time, that day i didn't greet with much people because don't want people see my sleepy face. And i saw the senior pastor of that church. When he saw me, he was full of enthusiasm and came and greeted me. With all my strength, I opened my eyes as big as I could; and smile with him as bright as I could. He asked me about my life after joining full time ministry. And suddenly he said: "Why not later you share your testimony in full time ministry, and give some words of encouragement to our brethens?" Immediately, I was not sleepy, replied: "Oh. Erm... Yes sure!"

After he went away, i quickly seek the Lord in prayer and flipped the Bible. Soon later, God put in my heart to share about my serving in youth ministry... And then, after worshipping God, the senior pastor went to the stage started a real short greeting. And when i actually still preparing myself, he introduced me and called me to share tesimony. Fuuu.... I went to the stage and held the mic, opened my eyes as big as possibe. Then i started to share. I really didn't prepare much, i shared with them regarding the recent youth project in our church. And God moved me to share the scripture that I prepared before the worship start, this was the only thing prepared. It was John 1:5, and God moved my heart to share this and i started to shared with conviction of the Holy Spirit. Saying we are the one who will bring light to the darkest place, and remind them don't stay in comfort zone but go out and see what happening in our responsible community. Wow, it is very good feeling after you share with people what God put upon your heart.

Of course, I didn't hold the mic throughout the whole service. I went back to my seat, and listened to the following message. And my eyes became heavy again. I believed I "fought a good fight" throughout the gathering.

As I was ready to depart the church when it was ended, the senior pastor greeted me. And he passed me an envelope... "Bro Jimmy, this is our love gift to you...And why not you let me know when you coming back next time, and I may invite you to speak to our church." I was shocked at a short moment! I thanked him and agreed with that.

Wow! wonderful right? When i was actually not in my best form, God let me share a testimony to a church; I received a financial blessing when I was lack; and I received a "speaking engagement". Praise God!! Lastly i want to bless you with a verse: ...Looking at His disciples, He said: "Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh. (Luke 6:20-21)

After Joining Full Time Ministry...

Wow, I am already in full time ministry for 9 months and 7 days. Time flys... Fuuu! But i think it's cool. After i joined full time ministry, I have atleast two changes in me, and God revealed to me a great truth about the grace of God which impacted my heart sooooo much. With this great revelation, i started this adventurous journey... Praise God!

Previously, I was a cell leader who was not dare to share with people about Jesus. But thank God so much that after i joined full time ministry, I took up the courage and shared with everyone about the good news of Jesus Christ. And when i shared, Holy Spirit moved and prompted the heart of people, and by His hand I see people responded to gospel. Hallelujah! Not only that, there were people who initially asked me to pray for them. It's actually so easy to share the good news to people. It's simply because, people need God.

Do you know, most people don't know that they actually need God? It's always because the somebody who is satan, always don't want us to know God, he is now still doing everything to prevent us from knowing this truth. For example, he lured people to drink alkohol heavily, to prevent themselves from realising they are in great trouble; he also lured people with all kinds of things, so they will chase after those thing eg. financial success with their whole life, blindly. Eventually, they will never realize what they actually need the most, and who is their solution.

I thank God, He is not a cruel God. When we share with people about the good news of Jesus Christ, without failed God will send His Holy Spirit, just to help people to understand who is Jesus and what He had done. Not only that, He will convict the heart of people, of their sinful nature. So can you see that, God is always the one who convict the heart of people! God is the one who help people to understand that Jesus is the Lord! And ALLLLL we need to do, is too simple: just GO! And tell people about the good news of Jesus!

Have you ever watch any good movie or taste any good food? After you tasted it, the next thing you will normally do is telling your collegues, family members, classmates, friends and etc, right?... Or you may tell people about how nice is the food, why is that nice, or how the movie had impacted you. After that, you might ask to bring the person to try the movie or the food... It's exactly the same with evangelism! After you was touched deeply by God, and filled with the joy of God, surely you will share with people around you. And in order for the person to taste the same goodnesses of God, you will pray for him, lay hand on him if he is sick, ultimately you will help the person to experience God.

Have you ever tasted the love and goodnesses of God? If NO:

1) Good! Now is the time! You may go to any nearby churches, or come to any regular church going Christian. Surely they will be able to help you to experience God's love nd His goodnesses.

2) Or you may contact me by writing to my email... savapark@gmail.com ; )

Have you tasted the love and goodnesses of God? If YES:

1) Come on, what are you waiting for??! Let's go and tell people what had you experienced in Christ!

2) If you are not sure, then go and pray and worship God (God will surely come close to you when you come close to Him, this is His nature, it is already like that since long long time ago!!). God Himself is good in nature, you will experience Him when you are close with Him. So after you experienced it, then you GO! And tell everyone around you.

3) Buddies, please don't tell me you don't feel like want to go and tell people about how good is the gospel of Jesus Christ. It's impossible after you experience the good news of Jesus, and you still stand on the same spot and do nothing!

Be true and honest to yourself man! q (^o^) p
