What’s in your hand?

Exodus 4:2-5, Moses said, “What if they do not believe me or listen to me and say, ‘The Lord did not appear to you’?”

Then the Lord said to him, “What is that in your hand?”

“A staff,” he replied.

The Lord said, “Throw it on the ground.”
Moses threw it on the ground and it became a snake, and he ran from it.

Then the Lord said to him, “Reach out your hand and take it by the tail.” So Moses reached out and took hold of the snake and it turned back into a staff in his hand.

“This,” said the Lord, “is so that they may believe that the Lord, the God of their fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob—has appeared to you.”

If you doubt about your calling, just look at what’s in your hand. What are you good at? What are you passionate about? You can make use of these to work for God’s glory.

You have the talent to paint, to sing, to play musical instruments, to encourage or serve others because God gave you such talents. It’s not by accident that you’ve had it. God equipped you with such skills or talents so you’ll use them for the expansion of His kingdom and for His glory.

In Matthew 25: 14-25, JESUS tells about the Parable of the Talents.

Let’s read together, “Again, it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted his wealth to them.

To one he gave five bags of gold, to another two bags, and to another one bag,[a] each according to his ability. Then he went on his journey. The man who had received five bags of gold went at once and put his money to work and gained five bags more.

So also, the one with two bags of gold gained two more. But the man who had received one bag went off, dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money.

“After a long time the master of those servants returned and settled accounts with them. The man who had received five bags of gold brought the other five. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with five bags of gold. See, I have gained five more.’

“His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’

“The man with two bags of gold also came. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with two bags of gold; see, I have gained two more.’

“His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’

“Then the man who had received one bag of gold came. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘I knew that you are a hard man, harvesting where you have not sown and gathering where you have not scattered seed. So I was afraid and went out and hid your gold in the ground. See, here is what belongs to you.’

“His master replied, ‘You wicked, lazy servant! So you knew that I harvest where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed? Well then, you should have put my money on deposit with the bankers, so that when I returned I would have received it back with interest.

“‘So take the bag of gold from him and give it to the one who has ten bags. For whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them. And throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

What occupies most of your day? What keeps you busy? Does your job or business give glory to God? Whatever you do, commit them all to God and He will bless the work of your hands.

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. (6:33)

To God be the glory!

If you only know the power of the Blood!

The Bible both in Old and New Testament mentioned the significance and power of the blood.

Zechariah 9:11-12, God says

“As for you also, because of the blood of My covenant with you [My chosen people, the covenant that was sealed with blood]
I have freed your prisoners from the waterless pit.
Return to the stronghold [of security and prosperity], O prisoners who have the hope;
Even today I am declaring that I will restore double [your former prosperity] to you.”

Hebrews 9:22,”In fact under the Law almost everything is cleansed with blood,and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness [neither release from sin and its guilt, nor cancellation of the merited punishment].”

Is there any other god who can do this? But JESUS already paid it all on the cross!

If you haven’t given or surrender your life to JESUS, now is the time. Talk to Him and He is willing to listen.

To God be the glory!

I am a Centurion. This is my story.

I am a Centurion and you can read my story in Matthew 8:5-13.

Let’s read together.

“When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking for help. “Lord,” he said, “my servant lies at home paralyzed, suffering terribly.”

Jesus said to him, “Shall I come and heal him?”

The centurion replied, “Lord, I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.

For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and that one, ‘Come,’ and he comes. I say to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”

When Jesus heard this, he was amazed and said to those following him, “Truly I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith.

I say to you that many will come from the east and the west, and will take their places at the feast with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.

But the subjects of the kingdom will be thrown outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go! Let it be done just as you believed it would.” And his servant was healed at that moment.

Ofcourse, we know that JESUS can really heal all kinds of sickness and diseases. Can He heal sick people instanly by His own will? Yes, He can. But why were there some people who were not healed instantly? And why are there some people who are not yet healed until now? Actually, it depends on the will of God and the faith of the person.

In my case, my servant was healed instantly because of my faith. Faith can move mountains. Whatever you say and believe, it will happen if you have faith that it will happen.

The first time I heard about Jesus, I had this strong desire to meet Him. When my servant got sick, JESUS was my first and last option at that time. I thought, I have a great authority on soldiers because they follow me. I knew I could get my servant healed if I’d talk to JESUS, because He will agree on healing my servant and I heard that JESUS loves healing sick people. So He will not say NO on my request. And I was right, He said YES when I asked Him to just say the “Word” and my servant got healed instantly even without seeing JESUS face to face.

By hearing my testimony, I hope you’re ignited to believe in JESUS. You will receive if you ask and believe that you will have what you asked for through faith in JESUS.

To God be the glory!

No turning BACK! 🕇 🔥

Jentezen Franklin in one of his preaching mentioned that, “True conversion is when after you receive Jesus Christ as your Savior and Master, you would ask Him, “What would you want me to do? Do you want me to change my job, leave my job, change my friends? What would you want me to do for you? What do you want me to change? Who do you want me to change? Where do you want me to change? Show me who do you want me to be.”

If you don’t ask (these kind of) questions, you are not saved. If after knowing Christ, you will still stay in your old sinful life and does not bother, you are not truly converted.

If you are truly saved, you would not care who would like you or not, you will just follow Jesus. You would not care if you would go to jail for following Jesus. You would not pray, “Lord, save me from jail…I do not want to suffer.” But you would say, “I am willing to go to jail with Jesus. I will not turn back to my old life!”

To God be the glory!

Everytime sin creeps in,
do not entertain it,
but let us remember JESUS
on how He suffered for us.

Throw away bad thoughts,
bad words,
bad actions,
bad feelings
and replace them with the image of JESUS bleeding on the cross.

Isaiah 53:5, “But He was wounded for our transgressions,
He was bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His stripes, we are healed.”
