Victory MDC Singapore Retreat

I went to Batam on 21 April 2011 - 23 April 2011 for MDC Church Retreat (Singapore)

Day 1: 21 April 2011

Went to the airport together with Reggie and Papi Andi using citilink 11.35 AM. unfortunately, i got message stating that our flight get delayed for 1 hour and 10 minutes since the plane from Padang isn't arrived yet.
then we make our way to PIK, to have our lunch at Seven to 7 Steak house.
after that, we headed back to airport to catch our flight.

my seat quite bad, cos we are seating in emergency seat, and the chair can't be leverage to the back. try to adapt with the chair and i manage to sleep for 1 hour ++.

Arriving at Batam, we are picked up my Ps. David S and head to MegaMal Batam, near batam center. Then we go to KTM and having our session started.


This retreat theme is Victory. Why victory? Because Jesus had died on the cross and He has given us Victory to walk with Him. Yeah, Victory in everything we do!!

The retreat are consist of 5 sessions that are being preached by Ps. Guan and Ps. Hadiarso.

First session, Ko Guan encourage us to Listen to the Voice of God. If we listen to it, miracle will happen. Remember the story of Peter who walks on the water? What are the 1st thing he hear? God talk to Him, come here. Then peter can walk.. Do you think peter can walk, if god say nothing? I don't think so. Why? Because by listening to His voice and Walks with Him, then miracle happens.

Second session talking about drawing near to God. God never move. Then why sometimes we can feel God so far away? It is us that moving. Not God. 3 way to closer to god
1. Clarified vision, to help us focus
2. Sanctified Passion, a pure heart moves
                 God's hands (2 Chron 16:9)
3.  Max potential
                The potential God puts in us is greater
                 than what we think (gen 1:26-27)

3rd session talking about personal experience with God (John 9:1)
We must have personal experience so we can worship Him whole heart... For example, Moses is being thrown away by his family, but he has personal experience with god, and he can admit his situation and he even become one of the most powerful people at that time. David, the youngest and smallest but God use him to defeat Goliath.

Season 4 is all about holy spirit. Some of us receive holy spirit baptism, and this is the most interesting session, as some of us have been waiting for this.

Session 5, talking bout are we in God Mind? The answer is Yes, we are. So don't you worry about everything. Even the bird in the sky, the flower in fields, god take care of it. So, don't you worry about it.

After all this session, on day two, we have a guest from Yayasan Baptis orphanage. We are playing with them, have fun together and eat together until 9.45 pm, and it time for them to back home. 
swing swing..

Especially For You

well, i'm in the office, and when i'm thinking about her, my iTunes suddenly tuning this song called especially for you.. hahaha..

Especially for you... My Princess :)
Especially for you :)

"Especially for you
I wanna let you know what I was going through
All the time we were apart I thought of you

You were in my heart

My love never changed
I still feel the same
 


Especially for you 
I wanna tell you I was feeling that way too 
And if dreams were wings, you know 
 

I would have flown to you 
To be where you are
No matter how far 

And now that I'm next to you
 

No more dreaming about tomorrow 
Forget the loneliness and the sorrow
I've got to say 

It's all because of you
And now we're back together, together 

I wanna show you my heart is oh so true 
And all the love I have is 
Especially for you
 

Especially for you
I wanna tell you, you mean all the world to me 

How I'm certain that our love was meant to be 
You changed my life
You showed me the way 

And now that I'm next to you
 

I've waited long enough to find you 
I wanna put all the hurt behind you Oh, 
And I wanna bring out all the love inside you, Oh
 

You were in my heart
My love never changed"


Well, this all what i've been feel lately :) and this song is ESPECIALLY FOR YOU

Worship

This morning i went to JPCC (Jakarta Praise Community Church).

The Pastor today is Jose Carol, and he is preaching about WORSHIP.

Worship

 Revelation 22:1
 1 Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb






 1. W = hom are we worshipping 

who are we worshiping??? we must focus on 1 things, which is God. 

2. O = ffering

Exodus 23:15 
 "Celebrate the Feast of Unleavened Bread; for seven days eat bread made without yeast, as I commanded you. Do this at the appointed time in the month of Abib, for in that month you came out of Egypt. "No one is to appear before me empty-handed." 

Psalm 96:8

"Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name; bring an offering and come into his courts."

We must remember that to worship Him, we must bring offering. what kind of offering? our heart. 


 3. R = Revelation 


Without personal experience, worship will be an obligation. 
why? because without personal experience, we will not have feeling towards God. Same as if we are going into relationship, the more personal experience (Quality time, talking heart to heart) we have, the more intimate we will be, and we wont feel that we obligate to do all the things.  


4. S = acrifice
Rome 12:1-2
"1 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will."

What kind of sacrifice that we should bring?? our body and life as a living sacrifice :)

5. H = onour
 
 Worship is originated from Yunani, "Proscuneo"
means, licking, like a dog lick his master hand.

The point is, to worship we must have a good attitude, that are come from your heart. not only the action, but also from the heart.

6. I = ntimacy

Proverbs 3:6
"In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."

7. P = Presence
 Just remember that, God presence is everywhere. don't try to put God in a box, since He can't be boxed and He can appeared anytime, anywhere



So, are you ready to worship God??

"To worship you, To worship You,
To lifted up, Your name, high above.. all things"

Above All Things

Last 2 Months, i keep listening to this song at night.. the lyric is simple.

"In You there is forgiveness
In forgiveness there is love
In love there is a meaning
In meaning there is a purpose

To worship you, to worship you
To lift up, Your name high above all things..

Your love is above everything i aim
Is above all that I can say, 
And above all that will remain"

from this song, i learn 3 things that I need to improve.

1. Forgiveness

In Him, there are always FORGIVENESS, no matter how bad the sin we had made, He will be there to forgive us as long as we ask for it..

When forgive is hard to say
In real life, it not easy for us to forgive our friends. How can we forgive when it hurt so much??

The one and only thing that we can do at first is Praying. with praying, we can calm our self  down, and make us think clearly.
Think that we have been forgiven by Him. He never met us, but still He forgive us. why it should be hard to forgive?

I remember, there is a reality show in Indonesia, the title is "Susahnya Minta Maaf" (How hard to say I'm Sorry). They make the client (the one that being accused) to meet the victim (The person that don't want to forgive the client). There is a story where the client beg and beg, but still the victim is not forgiving her. The main problem is all about backstabbing. Judas did backstabbing Jesus until He died, didn't he? But still, Jesus forgive Him. So why can't we??

I know, forgive is not easy. even i'm still on the process of forgiving while writing this article.  so lets we learn together :)

"The true forgiveness is not merely saying i am forgiving you, but more in your action that saying you forgive them :)"
    Colossians 3:13
    Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. (NIV)

L O V E
2. Love
God ask us to love one another. In Matthew 5:44 "But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you"

its clearly said that, LOVE your enemy. LOVE each another of you.. if we are talking about love, its too general, but here, i would like to share about a love, a love that can make people forgive, a love that can make people care about others.

I LOVE YOU is a simple words that come from our mouth if we love someone. but the main problem is, can we say I LOVE YOU towards people that we hate? the most simple example, can we say I LOVE YOU to our friends that gossiping us in front of other people? can we say I LOVE YOU to a friend that angel when with us, but devil in our back?

Well, that is what we should learn about LOVE.

Remember, Love is come from your heart. its all the matter of the heart.

3. Worship

Finally, the last thing that i need to improve is Worship. Why worship? for me, by worshiping, I can express my feeling to God. By worshiping, i feel comfort to tell God everything. all my burden, all my feeling, through prayer.

Where can you get the love to forgive? In Jesus.
How? Worship Him!!!  :)


That are the things that i need to improve in my life, in order for me to closer to God. Well, everything are easy to be said, but hard to be done. But when there is a will, there will be a way :)
