Dare to Walk Through It?

"Lord, if it’s you," Peter replied, "tell me to come to you on the water.""Come," he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came towards Jesus [Mat 14:28-29]

We do know exactly what Peter had done at that time. At first, Peter fully doubted towards what was appearing to him. He expected it as a ghost or other spiritual creatures hovering on the water. His mind was completely convoluted with a tremendous question: what is it? Finally, he strained to ask someone who was walking on the water outstandingly with a curious question "Lord, if it’s you," tell me to come to you on the water.". As a result from Peter's request, the person who was walking on the water, which we have already known as Jesus, told Peter to come out from the boat and start walking on the water. Surprisingly, Peter truly walked on the water to come closely to Jesus. Here, we can make a gist that Peter, as an ordinary man, had made an extraordinary and miraculous thing, which is as outstanding as Jesus did. 

Today, in our daily life, we probably have experienced a doubtful and uncertain situation which is able to jeopardize ourselves. We have arranged some brilliant plans in advanced, but when we face the reality, it seems that what we have orchestrated, will not run perfectly well. Sometimes, we are afraid to deal with a bankruptcy, financial problem, blackguard , tempered person or any other things that can debilitate our faith. A fear can gnaw our conviction in Christ, slowly but surely.  Thus , it is strongly mandatory to understand that the uncertain situation we face is more likely to weaken our faith. 

As Peter had experienced a wonderful moment with Jesus, we are like to do such that miraculous thing. First of all, we must rely ourselves, it includes believe, dream, family and everything we have, on the God's hand. Confess our sins and acknowledge Him as the most powerful Savior in our life. Subsequently , we have to come out from our boat, which means our own thought. Strain every nerve to act valorously and persistently towards something that seems unreachable. It may drain our energy and concentration sumptuously and overboard, but in return, we will be able to experience an outstanding result that comes up from our valor with Jesus. Therefore, do not be afraid in facing uncertain situation in our life. Surrender our life to God and we will be able to do a marvelous thing.
    
In summary, do not hesitate when God asks every single of us to walk on the water. Kindly accept His invitation and experience a marvelous thing with Him. Notwithstanding, we must understand clearly that in order to walk on the water, it needs a bold obedience to surrender totally our life to Jesus Christ. After that, undoubtedly, we will certainly experience a miraculous thing as Peter had experienced

The Vine and The Branch

"I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me." [John 15:1-4] To be a sturdy Christian means we must stay in the word of God which is able to enrich our knowledge and enlighten our path. In the book of John, Lord likened Himself as a vine while we are the branch. That leads us to a tantalizing question: What does the vine mean and what is the main role of the vine itself? Moreover, If we separate ourselves from the vine, what will happen? The Lord is the vine, as the bible said, means He is the source of everything we need. It includes our knowledge, strength, prosperity, and wisdom. Jesus taught clearly ...

Fight Against The Evil One

Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled round your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace, In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. [Eph 6: 14-17] As a Christian living in this world, we have a serious menace that comes from evil. Indeed, the evil one is not represented as a creatures in the underworld. That evil who has already existed since the beginning of this world is eager to insinuate ourselves continuously. The point is, he will not cease his deceptive act until we relinquish our faith in Jesus and no longer follow The Lord. That menace will be ongoing ceaselessly until we fall into his trap. Thus, it is truly important to scrutinize carefully about what the most powerful strategy to subdu...

BUILD OR RUIN

"Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you."  (Romans 12:2 MSG version) Recently we are facing the digital era which offers a lot of entertainments and information. We can create a social community or even ruin it. We can tighten the relationship or even break it. It really depends on us: Do we really have a deep consideration before take an action? Nowadays, People are more likely to spend their time too much to scroll down their Instagram or post their thoughts on Facebook. They are so fervent to show off their belongings or recent photograph with eye-catching background (which is also known as Instagramable scenery). They ar...
