Don't Be Egoist!

People are NATURALLY egoist, it's always EASIER to TALK about yourself than to LISTEN the others..
"Let each of you LOOK out NOT only for his OWN interests, but also for the interests of OTHERS."
Phil 2:4 NKJV
To BUILD a GOOD relationship needs to listen MORE than talking, don't be egoist!
JCblessU! :D

Listen more and pray more for the others!

Pray And Mean It!

PRAY, and MEAN it, for praying is DEEPER than just a religious ritual, it's a COMMUNICATION, a DIRECT call to God, the almighty one!
Pray, and MEAN it, for God LISTENS your prayer!
"God's there, listening for all who pray,
for all who pray and mean it."
Psalm 145:18 MSG
JCblessU! :D

Pray, pray and pray!

I Think I'll Skip Churching, May I?

"I'm too TIRED, I think I'll skip PRAYING/CHURCHING time.."
Ever experience that? It's totally WRONG! Coming to God isn't SAME as usual activity that WASTE our energy.. Instead, God will RECHARGE us!
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."
Matthew 11:28 NIV

"Aku terlalu LELAH, aku pikir aku memilih akan melewatkan waktu DOA/IBADAH saja.."
Pernah mengalaminya? Itu sama sekali SALAH! Datang pada Tuhan tidak SAMA seperti aktifitas biasa yang MENGHABISKAN tenaga.. Malahan, Tuhan akan MENYEGARKAN kita!
"Marilah kepada-Ku, semua yang letih lesu dan berbeban berat, Aku akan memberi kelegaan kepadamu."
Matius 11:28

God will recharge you!

What Can We Give?

When we MEET Kings, or Presidents, we'll give ALL the BEST, EVEN when they don't know us PERSONALLY..

But how if we meet God? What can we give?
"SING praises to God, SING praises;
SING praises to our King, SING praises."
Psalm 47:6 NIV
Sing, from the HEART, exalt Him as God, as King of Kings!

Ketika kita MENEMUI Raja, atau Presiden, kita akan memberikan SEGALA yang TERBAIK, BAHKAN meski mereka tidak mengenal kita secara PRIBADI..
Tapi bagaimana jika kita menemui Tuhan? Apa yang bisa kita berikan?
"Bermazmurlah bagi Allah, bermazmurlah, bermazmurlah bagi Raja kita, bermazmurlah!"
Mazmur 47:7
Bermazmurlah, dari HATI, tinggikan Dia sebagai Tuhan, sebagai Raja dari segala Raja!

Sing praises!

JCblessU! :D

In Quiet Time I Meet God

 After a TIRING day, it's TIME to GIVE thanks to God, just be QUIET and GIVE your HEART to God!
"Be STILL, and KNOW that I am God"
Psalm 46:10a NKJV

Setelah hari yang MELELAHKAN, ini SAATNYA untuk MEMPERSEMBAHKAN syukur kepada Tuhan, hanya DIAM dan MEMBERIKAN HATI anda kepada Tuhan!
"Diamlah dan ketahuilah, bahwa Akulah Allah!"
Mazmur 46:11a

Give the best for He deserves it..

Temptation Is Always Tempting, How To Stand Against It?

TEMPTATIONS are EVERYWHERE and sometimes we VOLUNTARY give ourselves IN.. That's why we SHOULD stay ALERT, and PRAY! For our spirit is WILLING, but flesh is WEAK!
"Keep WATCH and PRAY, so that you will NOT give in to TEMPTATION. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak!"
Matthew 26:41 NLT

GODAAN ada DIMANA-MANA dan terkadang kita dengan SENGAJA membiarkan kita masuk di DALAMNYA.. Itulah mengapa kita HARUS BERJAGA-JAGA, dan BERDOA! Karena roh kita PENURUT, tapi daging LEMAH!
"BERJAGA-JAGALAH dan BERDOALAH, supaya kamu JANGAN jatuh ke dalam PENCOBAAN: roh memang penurut, tetapi daging lemah."
Matius 26:41

JCblessU! :D

Temptations are tempting, but how do you stand against it without pray?

Pray When You Are Hurt, Sing When You Are Happy

Troubles, hurts, conflicts are COMMON things in our LIFE.. But how to FACE all those things? Getting angry and BLAMING anyone, including God? That's not a good answer..
But there is ONE thing we can do: P-R-A-Y to God, ANYTIME!
"Are you hurting? PRAY. Do you feel great? SING."
James 5:13 MSG

Masalah, penderitaan, konflik adalah hal-hal BIASA dalam HIDUP kita.. Tapi bagaimana cara MENGHADAPI semua itu? Marah dan mulai MENYALAHKAN siapapun, termasuk Tuhan? Itu bukan jawaban yang baik..
Tapi ada SATU hal yang bisa kita lakukan: B-E-R-D-O-A pada Tuhan, KAPAN saja!
"Kalau ada seorang di antara kamu yang menderita, baiklah ia BERDOA! Kalau ada seorang yang bergembira baiklah ia MENYANYI!"
Yakobus 5:13

JCblessU! :D

Sing, pray, let your life is full of praises for God only!

Why We Have To Pray

We know that God KNOWS our needs, even BEFORE we tell Him what we need.. Then why SHOULD we pray?
For He wants us to do PRAY! Praying is showing how we USE our FAITH, RELYING on Him..
Without praying: "You do not have because you do not ask God."
James 4:2b NIV
DARE to pray for BIG things!

Kita tahu bahwa Tuhan MENGETAHUI kebutuhan kita, bahkan SEBELUM kita memberi tahu Dia apa yang kita butuhkan.. Lalu mengapa kita HARUS berdoa?
Karena Dia ingin kita untuk BERDOA! Berdoa menunjukan bagaimana kita MENGGUNAKAN IMAN kita, MENGANDALKAN Dia..
Tanpa berdoa: "Kamu tidak memperoleh apa-apa, karena kamu tidak berdoa."
Yakobus 4:2b
BERANILAH untuk mendoakan hal-hal BESAR!

JCblessU! :D

Dream big, pray big, for your God is a big God!

Why Some Prayers Don't Get Answer?

People PRAY, some RECEIVE what they ASK, some DON'T..
Why? For some people JUST pray WITHOUT believing that God HEARS their prayer..
"And If we KNOW that He HEARS us-whatever we ASK-we KNOW that we HAVE what we asked of Him."
1 John 5:15 NIV
But God HEARS our prayer, BELIEVE it when we PRAY!

Orang BERDOA, beberapa MENERIMA apa yang mereka MINTA, beberapa TIDAK..
Kenapa? Karena beberapa orang HANYA berdoa TANPA mempercayai bahwa Tuhan MENDENGAR doa mereka..
"Dan Jikalau kita TAHU, bahwa Ia MENGABULKAN apa saja yang kita MINTA, maka kita juga TAHU, bahwa kita telah MEMPEROLEH segala sesuatu yang telah kita minta kepada-Nya."
1 Yoh 5:15
Tapi Tuhan MENDENGAR doa kita, PERCAYALAH saat kita BERDOA!

JCblessU! :D

Believe when you pray, not just a word of tongue, but powerful word!

Knock, Knock!

Waiting for God's ANSWER? Just come to God with NO SHAME, but be PERSISTENT, knocking on the door, and PRAY more, KNOCK more!
For God will GIVE you what you ASK!
"if you KEEP KNOCKING long enough, he will get up and GIVE you WHATEVER you need because of your SHAMELESS PERSISTENCE."
Luke 11:8b

Menunggu JAWABAN Tuhan? Datanglah pada Tuhan dengan TANPA MALU, tapi dengan BERTEKUN, mengetok pintu, dan BERDOA lebih lagi, MENGETOK lebih lagi!
Karena Tuhan akan MEMBERIMU apa yang kamu MINTA!
"Namun karena sikapnya yang TIDAK MALU itu, ia akan bangun juga dan MEMBERIKAN kepadanya APA yang diperlukannya."
Lukas 11:8b

JCblessU! :D

Just don't quit praying and knocking to God!

Is Your Prayer Only About Your Wish List?

Don't COME to God only for telling Him your wish list, but SEARCH God with all your HEART, give EAR to His words, and OBEY Him! For He will GUIDE you to walk THROUGH your every problem WITH Him, in JOY!
"Joyful are those who OBEY His laws
and SEARCH for Him with all their HEARTS."
Psalm 119:2

Jangan DATANG pada Tuhan hanya untuk memberi tahu daftar keinginan anda, tapi CARILAH Tuhan dengan segenap HATI anda, berikan TELINGA untuk firmanNya, dan TAATILAH Dia! Karena Dia akan MENUNTUN anda untuk berjalan MELEWATI setiap masalah BERSAMANYA, dalam SUKACITA!
"Berbahagialah orang-orang yang MEMEGANG peringatan-peringatan-Nya, yang MENCARI Dia dengan segenap HATI,"
Mazmur 119:2

JCblessU! :D

Give Him what He deserve to, for He is God! God who will supply your needs, don't you worry!
Seek Him, give your ear to His words and obey Him!

Seek God: Spend Time With Him!

God KNOWS all our needs, but how to RECEIVE it?
Seek God FIRST, SPEND time with Him, BEFORE starting your EVERYDAY!
"But your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need."
Matthew 6:32b-33

Tuhan TAHU segala keperluanmu, tapi bagaimana untuk MENERIMANYA?
Carilah Tuhan TERLEBIH DAHULU, SEDIAKAN waktu bersamaNya, SEBELUM memulai SETIAP HARINYA!
"Akan tetapi Bapamu yang di sorga tahu, bahwa kamu memerlukan semuanya itu. Tetapi carilah dahulu Kerajaan Allah dan kebenarannya, maka semuanya itu akan ditambahkan kepadamu."
Matius 6:32b-33

JCblessU! :D

Spend time with God, for He love to have you seek Him, having a hunger of God's presence!

A Formula That We Need

PRAY x BELIEVE = RECEIVE
"I tell you, you can PRAY for ANYTHING, and if you BELIEVE that you've RECEIVED it, it will be YOURS."
Mark 11:24

BERDOA x PERCAYA = MENERIMA
"Karena itu Aku berkata kepadamu: apa saja yang kamu MINTA dan DOAKAN, PERCAYALAH bahwa kamu telah MENERIMANYA, maka hal itu akan DIBERIKAN kepadamu."
Markus 11:24

JCblessU! :D

Understand?

Need a Prayer?

Need a prayer? In an urgent situation that you even don't have time to sit still in your room, to pray?
Just shout to God, He's there with you, in your car, in your boss' office, in the traffic jam, even in the hidden place..
He is in your heart, the holy spirit, the one that is called "helper", to help you! Anywhere, anytime, always!

God is not only in the church, not only on sunday, not only in your praying time, for He is OMNIPRESENT.. Don't WAIT for a moment to say a PRAYER, you have a DIRECT LINE to God, for He is with you, ALWAYS!
"And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Matthew 28:20b

Tuhan tidak hanya ada di dalam gereja, tidak hanya ada pada hari minggu, tidak hanya ada saat jam doamu, karena dia MAHA HADIR.. Jangan MENUNGGU momen tertentu untuk menaikkan DOA, kamu punya SAMBUNGAN LANGSUNG ke Tuhan, karena Dia SELALU bersamamu!
"Dan ketahuilah, Aku menyertai kamu senantiasa sampai kepada akhir zaman." Matius 28:20b

JCblessU! :D

Pray, now! How's your experience in prayer?
