My honor to serve God's people

I truly have no idea how I can describe my feeling at the moment. 
Tears just dropping when I read one of my spiritual daughter's blog, "Who am I having this huge privilege to be looked up by this great God's worshiper?"

Time flies quick and without delays since the first time our FA joint together in August 2009.  
I am only His tool to serve great men and women of God who might be -at the moment- lack of their confident and not yet see God's love and predestination of their future life. 
I am only their eyes whenever they cannot see God's plan, I am only their their ears whenever they cannot hear God's prayer answers. I am only God's hand whenever they need comfort, I am only God's mouth whenever they didn't understand His words. 
I am only a pipe, who is watering beautiful roses, fruitful vineyard and strong olive trees who yet cannot see who they really are in Jesus.  

Yes, there were times, I wouldn't dare approaching them one by one, I just didnt have much courage...
There were times I wouldn't dare directing them, telling them how they supposed to live in Jesus way..... I just dont feel have "right" to tell them, simply because I know they will be used way greater then I am now.
There were times I wouldnt dare advising them, what to do and what not to do....  There were times of struggles, many frustration. There were plenty of discouraging moments... millions of tear drops, thousands of hopes and prayers... 

But looking at you know, I just can mesmerize on how God truly transform you. 
Those who came to cell group with no expectation, now they become great prophets
Those who came with past burden, now they become True worshipers of God. 
Those who came with hopeless, now they become prayer warriors. 
Those who came with no purpose, now they become great leaders and shepherds. 
Is it me? NO! It is God who changes you all! 

It is my honor to serve my Lord in your lives. All I can say now, is just like Paul said in Romans 8: 18-30
The tears and pain of childbirth will nothing compare to the glory I now see in each of you. 
All I can say is.... it is WORTHWILE! 

From the deepest side of my heart, let me say one more time:
"I truly love you all, and my one and only intention is to see you grow in Jesus. 
Sorry for strong words I always used, 
high standard I put, 
in which I have never regretted a bit.
Because I know
His beautiful plan in everyone of you."

...and here is my very last message to all of you, 
"Set your eyes upon Jesus, 
never compromise a single bit.
as we are only a pilgrim of this world, 
and huge reward is waiting for us, 
up there.  
Fight! a good fight of faith, and
Run! in the race that He set for you"

embrace you all in Christ's love,

What FAITH is really about

Many Christians are passionately talking and discussing about faith (well, I hope so…), “By faith we can move the mountain, by faith we can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me, by faith I can do ALL impossible things, by faith my life ascends and never goes downhill.”

Yes, Yes, all those kinds of definition are true, indeed I myself experienced all those definition in my life. I live in a life that lacks nothing, got a job in time of need, had my problems solved on time. It can be said that God really works in my life, because I believe – my faith says – He is having control over my life.

But, what I am going to share here, is the faith that is truly described in the Hebrew 11, a faith that God really wants every Christians should have! a faith that is beyond our physical needs! A faith that is above earthly things! A faith that is more than getting new job, higher incomes. More than being healed from our sickness, more than having better position in the company each year, or wealthier life! NO! it is far beyond that!

Read again what the bible says, the most famous verse of faith, Hebrew 11, clearly states that the faith discussed there clearly has nothing to do with our need! It is talking about ETERNAL LIFE (v. 6) :  
-. Abraham, He is a powerful and rich man on that days, was living in a tent! Knowing with his eyes of faith that all he had were just temporary! He was waiting for eternal life.., a better home up there, heaven!
-. Moses, had an opportunity to have ALL power in Egypt, ALL world pleasure, authority, but he refused it! (v. 24-25) . Worse, he regarded all as pleasure of sin! He preferred to live suffer with Israelis, God chosen people.
-. Last part on that chapter, many were stoned, put to death, afflicted, mocked. WORSE, THEY DIDNT RECEIVE WHAT WAS PROMISED on the earth. Because: THEY (know that they) HAVE RECEIVED THE REWARD in THE HEAVEN! (v.35-40)

So, my beloved brothers and sisters in Christ, can we still be called a women of faith or man of faith or Jesus followers if we only “use” our faith for our current life?
Are we deserved to be called His son/ daughter if we never desire eternal things, but only to desire success in this world?
Are we worthy to be called His people, if we only ask for His help for this temporal life and its pleasure and never ask to see His beauty and glory?

Wake up! And have a right faith! And Fight a good fight of faith! Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses. - 1 Tim 6:12

Only Because of His Grace...

It's been a while I've delayed creating this blog; even I’ve received so many messages and revelations from Daddy. But today, I think, is the perfect time for me to start being a blessing, by sharing all grace that I've received from Him, (and all things that I will experience in my upcoming journey of life).
“The Redeemed Life” is not a mere title, but it is truly about my life, that has been transformed in His grace; a life that is now more meaningful and full of purpose.
He has saved me, He has redeemed me, He has made me NEW!

"But by the grace of God, I am what I am. And His grace toward me did not prove vain, but I labored even more than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God with me"
- 1 Cor 15:10 -
