Gaining the Favor of God

i believe that great thing is about to happen in ICCJ and to all the youth in Indonesia. God have proven himself faithful to his people and he will always be faithful. this is my 1st blog. in my next blog i will be adding pictures of what have been in extreme reality youth.

if u havent join us i would encourage to come and check us out on saturdays 5 pm. we are located in Bellagio boutique mall 5th floor (in the lift press 3) in the ICCJ sanctuary.

we had an awesome service this week in ER. God was moving in a powerful way. i spoke about gaining God's favor. to go forward and to go to a deeper level we need his favor in our lives. in the bible we can learn from 3 characters who gain the favor of God

1. we can learn from Abel. Abel gave his best to the Lord and the lord was pleased with him and God's favor was upon his life. as a child of God we need to give our best to God whether it may be our ministry, our work, our schools. dont just give your spare time to the Lord give your best. just think if u r only given spare time by the people closest to you. it hurts!!! so give your best just like how Abel did

2 we can learn from Enoch. Enoch walked with God. God was so pleased with Enoch, till God just took him away. Enoch never had a physical death experinece God took him. just imagine being so closed with God till he just takes u away to be with him without experiencing death. i want to be that close to God i want to experience encounters with Jesus ad i want to be more intimate with him. God's favor was upon enoch. do u want to be close to him. i invite u all to start walking with God involve him in every decision u make dont brush him aside

3 we can learn from Noah. Noah is obedient. because of his obedience, God's favor was upon him, he and his family became the only survivor of the flood. Noah obeyed God by building an ark in the place where they have never seen floods before. all his friends must have think NOah is a freak but Noah didnt care wat people think he care only for wat god wants him to do. friends lets be obedient dont listen to ur frends listen to Jesus. do wat he tells u to do even though it sounds stupid or controversial do wat he wants u to do and gain his favor

in conclusion let us gain the favor of god by
1 Giving our best to God
2 By walking with God
3 By obeying God


God bless u all, keep the candle burning
