Keep Moving by faith although you think it is almost impossible.

Last week I was in Salatiga for one of my customer. This customer is very special because they are really tough. That is actually the reason why I was sent there.

When my boss asked me to go there, I was quite hard to go there because I did not know what to do. In my opinion the result was already maximum. There is nothing we can do.
My boss just want me to come and see if it is really nothing we can do more.

I kept thinking and praying. I said to God that I want to be blessing wherever I was sent to. I believe that God will do something through me.
I decided to produce something new to try although I had only 2 days before went to Salatiga.
I called it as an action of faith.

During 4 days in the customer, each day there was a progress. Until the last day God was helping me so much. He encouraged my customer to help me doing some modification and at last we could proof that the target was achieved with the samples I brought with me.

Another story how God is working when we believe that nothing is impossible for Him and when we keep moving by faith in actions.

Amen and keep moving by faith ! 😄👍

Back Injury during badminton

Greetings from Salatiga :-)
Last Sunday after finish badminton, I felt quite pain in my back.
I suddenly remembered that one time during badminton I might be in such wrong position that made my back not right.
It became worse until when I wanted to enter to may car, I almost cannot stand properly. It was hurt in my back that I could not stand properly. Also when I was sitting at my car, it was not convenient at all. I could feel that something not right at my back.

At that time, my thought was full of worry because I heard before that injury at someone's back could send them into paralyzed. The other reason was also because on Monday I have to go to Salatiga for customer visit. I was so afraid that if it would become worse that I cannot go there. Oh, it will so much troublesome.

I decided just to pray to God, asked for forgiveness, and begged for my back recovery. I kept praying and started to try standing again even though it was quite hurt. I kept trying and trying, asked my wife to give some massage on my back to reduce the pain and then I took my rest.

Praise to God that on the next day I woke up and found out that I at least could stand properly and walked. It was still painful to bow. I could only do anything with straight back.
I praised the Lord and thanking Him for the progress. And today I can say that 99% it is recovered already. I can do my activities effectively and I am so grateful.

Back to the time I was so worry, I am now really grateful that all of those things I was afraid of are not happening at all because God loves me.
I also would like to say that God also loves you and and He cares for you. 
So, keep thanking Him in everything and receive His great blessings. Amen.

CG Elia - Question & Answer

Shallom!
I got 2 questions from my sister during Care Group in my house.
First question is how to convince people to believe at what we answer to them while we never had any experience with what they ask?

I have 2 points here. First, as long as it is the truth that we say to them, then it is not necessarily to be afraid that they will not belive us because by the time the truth will always be fulfilled. What is real truth? It is only Words of God that is truth. So, actually we are not trying to make people believe in us. Instead we are trying to make them believe the Words of God. So, just keep saying persistently the Words of God. I believe they will believe us soon or later because the truth soon or later will be proven.
Second point, of course even though if what we say is truth but if our character and deeds are contrary to the truth, then people will not come to us because they do not see we do what we say.
It is called integrity. Of course we do not need to be prefect to do what we say. Just make sure that you have commitment to do what is truth, to do the words of God, to do what you say. I believe by the time people will believe in what you say because they will see your characters as light and salt.

Second question, how to reach believers that already have their own church and committed there?

Here it is clear that people who have been committed to any church of Jesus Christ are not our target. We do not want to reach godly people. We want to reach people who do Not know Jesus, who have not committed to any church, who even do not know what is the objective to become christian.

I hope these answers will satisfy you and motivate you to do His Vision more.

God bless you.
