WAKE UP CALL !

' Are you prepared ?' that is the question. well. time is running very short as we all know. but are we prepared ? spiritually ? mentally ? i can answer the question without any hesitation that i am not. simple and short and i will not lie by boasting how prepared am i for this mission trip. however, i believe that we are all working on it. =) even though the skits and testimonies are almost done (im not sure about those who are preparing the message, HAHA! ), but ultimately is our hearts right ? we as part of the mission team has been chosen to be the instruments of god to spread the good news of this great God. but still, how prepared are we to speak of the good news.



If we are to go to Indonesia with the hope of sharing the gospel without sufficient preparation. we are like salts which are not salty. what good is salt if it not salty? simple. it is of no good. a substance which is of no purpose. an instrument which is of no use.

' You are the salt of the earth. But what good is salt if it has lost its flavor? Can you make it salty again? It will be thrown out and trampled underfoot as worthless. '

Matthew 5:13

Physically i believe we are quite prepared. the skits and etc. but spiritually im not 100% sure. at least for myself. i know that i am not prepared. spiritually... and for those who are in the same shoe as me. do not fear as we are blessed with this ability to communicate with God simply through prayer. why not we put it to full use? to those who were in the Youth Rally team. have you forgotten about the importance of prayer? have you forgotten about the miracles prayer can do?

' Devote yourselves to prayer with an alert mind and a thankful heart. Pray for us too, that God will give us many opportunities to speak about his mysterious plan concerning Christ. That is why I am here in chains. Pray that i will proclaim this message as clearly as I should. Live wisely among those who are not believers, and make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be gracious and attractive so that you will have the right response for everyone. '

Colossians 4:2-6

So people let's devote ourselves to prayer. praying for everything that we can think of. and preparing ourselves in all aspects of our lives in order to do God's work. indeed it is not by chance neither it is by mistake that we are here today. working together in this mission team to Indonesia to speak of the good news. none of us is more important than any other in this team as we are the body of Christ. each carrying out their own respective responsibilities in this mission. we have heard of the gospel and we have been called to go forth and make disciples of all nations. God has love and God is love. we are made in the likeness of God and we have love as well. why be selfish and keep the love to yourself ? let's be a living testimony to those who have not heard of God and may those who have heard but do not believe see Christ through our actions in our daily lives.


' Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people. '

Colossians 3:23
