The world for Christ

I have finished my study. I am qualified to be engineer but God has another purpose for me. He wants me to forget about my dream to have comfy life in Germany, to enjoy myself and follow and obey whatever He commands me to do. I was called to be His servant for my beloved country, Indonesia. I have booked my flight and signed the declaration that I will not leave Indonesia for at least 2 years which is part of the deal to get some sponsorship. Unless God has another plan, I personally, don't want to leave Indonesia again. There is no turning back for me. I really want to see revival in Indonesia with my own eyes.

John Knox requested to God "Give me Scotland or I'll die" and God was pleased with him and gave him Scotland or Rachel requested to Jacob "Give me children, or I'll die" and God heard her and gave her children. If you are longing to see Indonesia for Christ, let's shout together "Give us Indonesia or we'll die". I, personally, am longing to see God's fire burn in every parts of Indonesia. Indonesia for Christ. Since the world was created, there is not even a glimpse of revival in Indonesia. We are always defeated by persecution. Does God neglect Indonesia? Far from Him, He loves every nation.

So, my fellow brothers and sisters who love God, let's forget our differences and shout to the Lord "Arise and shine, God of heaven and earth. Conquer Indonesia, conquer the world in your Holy name, let our country and our world know that Jesus Christ is the King of kings, Lord of lords." Bring Fire from heaven, O God, we want to see you glorified. Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, China, Russia, India, Japan, Korea, UEA, Canada, Mexico, Central America, Europe, United States, Germany, Arab world, Africa, Australia, South America, and all the world. Children of the light, TAKE YOUR CANDLE AND GO LIGHT THE WORLD...

And if you are in other part of the world, why don't you ask the same request? God doesn't need mighty men to fight for Him, He just need a man who loves Him. He used David the shepherd boy to fight against Philistines, He used Deborah to fight for Israelites, He used Esther to defend her people, He used Moses who was not eloquent to bring exodus of Israelites from Egypt, He used Gideon, the farmer to fight against Midianites. He used Joseph, Simson, Jonah, Nehemiah, Daniel to fight for Him and defend His people. He also used fishermen, tax collector to preach the Gospel. He used the learned and the wise too bring Him glory, like Paul, Solomon, etc. God can use anybody who has heart for Him to do great thing. For the battle is not ours, but His. He just need us to be the channel of His blessing and mighty power for His people.

But to bring revival is not an easy task. It is not one man show. All of us, who are genuine born again, who have candle in our heart with Fire from Holy Spirit need to gather together and in one accord pray onto God like in Acts 2. We must have thirsty for Christ, hunger for the lose souls. We must strip ourselves from anything that can hinder Holy Spirit to take over the place. Revival will not come unless the whole church wear sackcloth, declare holy fasting and have Spirit of repentance toward God as written in Nehemiah 9. Please do read Nehemiah 9 and Acts 2.

We must have Spirit of prayer, soft heart to weep for lost souls, hard knee to kneel down always before God, sensitive ears to hear the cries of help from the oppressed and down. My brothers and sisters, what can make our Lord more than happy except His last will prayer is fulfilled, "May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me (John 17:23). If you see fire in the candle that stand alone and separated from each others, the fire can't burn much, but if we gather together in one accord, our fire can burn everything, like the Fire in California, sweep all over the country.

Let our fire burn every heart of men like California fire. Let the Holy Spirit pour His river of living water like Tsunami in Aceh, let God's children shake the world like the great earthquake around the world, let God show His power like hurricane in US that nobody can stop Him, let God's warriors attack the devil like the winter storm make everything white by snow, let God's grace abound like Noah' flood, nothing under heaven miss the flood, let our word of God strike like lightning, destroy every stronghold of the enemies, and let the Christians' love explode like nuclear destroy every cold heart and its radiation can be felt by everybody, they will melt, nobody can stand against it. Let our love be seen in every part of the cities and towns so that God's name be glorified.

We are in the last days, my friends. Do you want to go to heaven alone? How about your neighbours? Your families? Your relatives? Your friends? Your colleges? or even your enemies? Don't you care about them? Do you want to be happy alone in heaven while your love ones condemn in hell for eternity?

It is our turn to persecute the devils. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places (Ephesians 6:12).

Repent, repent and repent!!! Repent, all the people in the world or you will face God's judgment. His cup of wrath is almost fully loaded, He is ready to pour out His wrath against everyone who has trampled the Son of God under foot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of covenant that sanctified him, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace. The Lord is about to bring His judgment upon us. It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. Repent and have faith in Jesus Christ. Preach the Gospel. Save the poor, deceived, needy and torn. Go light the world, God's armies. Bring revivals in these last days. God bless you
