Nice meeting with my brother

Last sunday I had planned to meet my oldest brother since I was in Jakarta to attend my relative's marriage.
Actually I did not expect anything special. It was just normal to meet my brother and his family, just to have fun together before going back home in the late afternoon.

Somehow the day before we met, we changed plan. We agreed to meet in one of my brother's business place and after that we just plan to have lunch together instead of going to 'dufan' or place like that.

So, at the day we met, I was so blessed because when I saw his business place it was quite interesting, I mean looks profitable. And when I was saying that I would like to have this kind of business in one of his other business place (my brother has about 5 business places) he did not mind at all.
At the end of our conversation, he will inform me when everything ready so that I could use one of his place to open the same business store.

I realize that right now my finance is actually not yet ready. But I do believe that as long as Jesus is with me, He will provide everything I need to be more fruitful.
I will be patiently wait and believe that if it is good in His eyes, then it will be happened more than I could pray and imagine.

So, my brother and sister, don't let Satan deceive you by saying that Jesus does not really care about things in your life. He cares about every small thing in your life. The bible says even our hair is counted.
Be joyful and grateful. In everything you need, pray to Him in Thanksgiving.
Amen 🙏

Traffic Jam!

I am now writing this testimony in the middle of traffic jam.
I was starting riding car from my customer in Jakarta to send my colleague to the airport It was from 5 pm and now already 10 pm and I am still about 5 km away from the starting point 😄.

In the situation of stressful and hungry, I am learning how to be grateful and keep joyful in His presence.

My colleague just missing his flight back to surabaya and he needs to find hotel for one night and searching new ticket on his own expenses.
I am not happy because I am lucky that I don't go back at the same time with him. Most of the time it would be like that.

I am happy because I have God who will still fulfil all my needs in every situation.
I learn that His presence is more real than the problem I face. Jesus is enough for me.

Therefore, I also challenge you to practise His presence in your life. To feel Him closer than anything could happen in your life because He is Immanuel. HE IS WITH YOU.

Let the Lord be magnified, who has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant. - Psalm 35:27.

Amen.

Joy to be faithful in giving tithes.

Last week I got the incentive from my company for the 5 months working in the Netherlands.
It was quite big amount for me and of course I was so grateful to God because I never received such amount of money before.
Soon after I received it I really want to be faithful in giving the tithes for that blessing.
But I realized that the evil one spread many negative thinking to my mind not to give the whole amount because it is big for me. It is true that this amount is the biggest first time for me.
I was quite fighting in my mind and I made my decision to soon transfer the tithes because the latter I give the more reluctance I will have.

I am so grateful that I could be faithful in this area because I know by this I could proof to myself that I love God more than His blessings for me.

I learn the truth that money is something you need to give it away if you want to get it and enjoy it. When you cannot give it away, you will be trapped in greedy and it will lead you to destroy your own life.

So I challenge you to be faithful in your finance / tithes to God.
Give and it will come back to you multiplied. ✌
