Dear one,

• "For thus says the LORD: Just as I have brought all this great disaster upon this people, so I will bring upon them all the good that I promise them. -Jeremiah 32:42

Dear one, if you can believe that God bring disaster, why you can’t believe all the good that God promise us that He will bring ?

Dear one, let us not measure God with our unbelief. Let us persuade to the truth, and believe that He will bring upon us all the good that He promises us.

So dear one, let us pray, believe that we receive what we prayed and it will be ours.

Let us thankful that God is good, that He makes an everlasting covenant with us, that He will not turn away from doing good to us.

[SANTOSO]

Dear ones,

For we heard:
“If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God.
Set your MIND on THINGS ABOVE, not on things on the earth.”
‭‭Colossians‬ ‭3:1-2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Dear ones, what THINGS ABOVE have you set on your MIND ?

This is what we have heard:
“Your mercy, O Lord, is in the heavens;
Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.”

[SANTOSO]

Dear one,
This is what we have heard:

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth." -Acts 1:8

because our gospel came to you not only in word, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction. You know what kind of men we proved to be among you for your sake. -1 Thessalonians 1:5

And you became imitators of us and of the Lord, for you received the word in much affliction, with the joy of the Holy Spirit, -1 Thessalonians 1:6

so that you became an example to all the believers in Macedonia and in Achaia. -1 Thessalonians 1:7

Dear one,
Let us be strengthen in our faith in our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.
Let us speak and believe in our hearts,that is, the righteousness of our faith, that we declare:

Lord Jesus,
We believe that we received power when Holy Spirit comes upon us, that we be Your witnesses to the end of the earth.

Dear Lord,
Apostles’ gospel came to us not only in word, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction, this we believe.

We know what kind of men apostles proved to be among us for our sake.
For apostles’ appeal to us, does not spring from error or impurity or any attempt to deceive, but just as apostles have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so apostles speak, not to please man, but to please God who tests their hearts. For apostles never came with words of flattery, as we know, nor with a pretext for greed—God is witness. Nor did apostles seek glory from people, whether from us or from others, though apostles could have made demands as apostles of Christ. But apostles were gentle among us, like a nursing mother taking care of her own children. So, affectionately longing for us, apostles were well pleased to impart to us not only the gospel of God, but also their own lives, because we had become dear to apostles.

And we became imitators of apostles and of the Lord Jesus Christ, for we received the word in much affliction, with the joy of the Holy Spirit, so that we became examples to all who believe.
Amen.

And we also thank God constantly for this, that when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men but as what it really is, the word of God, which is at work in you believers. -1 Thessalonians 2:13
