General Service in Malang, January 30, 2011 (Sunday Morning)
CHILD
SUBMISSION SERVICE
Luke
2:10-14
2:10 Then the angel said to them, "Do not
be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which
will be to all people.
2:11 For
there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is
Christ the Lord.
2:12 And
this will be the sign
to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths,
lying in a manger."
2:13
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of
the heavenly host praising God and saying:
2:14
" Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace,
goodwill toward men!"
The birth of
Jesus happened in a very modest place. He was wrapped in swaddling
cloths and lying in a manger, but there was the glory of God.
Likewise, we submit the child with
two signs, i.e. the swaddling cloths and the manger, so that the
child can also receive the glory of God.
-
The swaddling cloths.
The
swaddling cloths = the cloths to bear the burden.
Jesus
was born to bear human's sins, or to save the sinful people.
Thus, the swaddling cloths = the
sign of salvation.
The
process are as follows:
-
Believing/having faith in Jesus.
-
Repenting.
-
Water and Holy Spirit baptism.
After receiving water and Holy Spirit
baptism, we become God's children, whose sign is living
in the righteousness.
Living
in the righteousness = salvation.
The
result is we are saved/protected from
the physical death (all sorts of dangers), spiritual death (sins),
up to the everlasting death (the hell).
Salvation
starts from hearing the Word of God. A child has not been able to go
to the church by him/herself. It is the responsibility of the
parents to bring their children to the church to hear the Word to be
saved.
-
The manger = shepherding.
We
must bring ourselves with the children to persevere
in the shepherding pen and become
obedient,
such that someday we can be the same as Jesus (it is more precious
than become the same as any human in this world).
The
results are as follows:
Psalm
23:1
23:1. The LORD is my shepherd; I
shall not want.
There
is a certainty guarantee for:
-
Care in the middle of the world which is like
the wilderness.
-
We can become as perfect as Jesus and will be
lifted in the glorious clouds in eternal glory.
GENERAL
SERVICE
Revelation
19:9
19:9 Then he said to me, "Write: 'Blessed
are those who are called to the marriage supper of the
Lamb!'" And he said to me, "These are the true sayings of
God."
The
marriage supper of the Lamb is:
-
The spiritual/perfect marriage between Jesus as
the Heavenly Bridegroom with the perfect congregation as the Bride,
or
-
The meeting between Jesus as the Heavenly
Bridegroom with His church as the Bride on the glorious clouds in
Jesus' second coming.
Thereafter,
we will enter a thousand years Kingdom of Peace (the Paradise) until
entering the eternal Kingdom of Heaven.
Why
does God invite all of us to enter the marriage supper of the
Lamb?
Because if we are left in
Jesus' second coming = do not enter the marriage supper of the
Lamb, we will enter the perdition of the world, until the everlasting
perdition in the hell.
God has
struggled very hard, how is our attitude?
We
must value God's effort/invitation, i.e. we must also struggle to
be able to enter the marriage supper of the Lamb.
2
Corinthians 11:1-4
11:1.
Oh, that you would bear with me in a little folly--and indeed you do
bear with me.
11:2 For I
am jealous for you with godly jealousy. For I have betrothed you to
one husband, that I may present you as a
chaste virgin to Christ.
11:3
But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve
by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity
that is in Christ.
11:4 For
if he who comes preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or
if you receive a different spirit which you have not
received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted--you may
well put up with it!
At
this moment, we are on the era of spiritual betrothal, that is the
last times to enter the marriage supper of the Lamb = the end of the
ages.
During these last times,
we must be solemnly struggling not to fail entering the marriage
supper of the Lamb.
Do not relax!
If we fail entering the marriage supper of
the Lamb, whatever we get in this world (diploma, richness, etc) will
be in vain. It will be just a total failure.
There
are two things we must pay attention within our individual life or
within marriage, so that we may enter the marriage supper of the
Lamb:
-
Holiness and faithfulness.
How
can we be purified?
John
15:3
15:3 You are already clean because of the word
which I have spoken to you.
We
must become as branch which holds on the righteous vine = being
shepherded on the true teaching Word,
such that we may be purified intensively by the work of true
teaching Word (Jesus' word Himself).
The
sign of the true teaching Word is Jesus' word Himself. It is
revealed by God, one verse is explained by another verse = the Word
which is sharper than any double-edged sword.
What
must be purified?
Mark 7:21-23
7:21 For
from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts,
adulteries, fornications, murders,
7:22
thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lewdness, an
evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness.
7:23
All these evil things come from within and defile a
man."
The
work of the Word sharper than any double-edged sword is purifying us
from within our heart, which is the store of the sins.
Our
heart must be purified from:
-
Evil desire = the
desire of money.
There should be no
stinginess and greed.
Do not steal
God's belonging or the others' belonging!
-
Unclean desire = eating-drinking
sins and sexuality sins.
If heart (inside) is purified, deeds
and words (outside) will also be purified.
James
3:2
3:2 For we all stumble in many things. If
anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man,
able also to bridle the whole body.
The
last purification is until there is no
more stumble in word. It means he is a
perfect man, and ready to enter the marriage supper of the Lamb.
Holiness = there is Word.
Faithfulness = there is Holy Spirit.
One of the fruit of the Holy
Spirit is faithfulness. If we are faithful, it is equal to living in
the anointing of Holy Spirit.
2
Corinthians 11:3-4
11:3 But I fear,
lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your
minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that
is in Christ.
11:4 For if
he who comes preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or if
you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a
different gospel which you have not accepted--you may well put up
with it!
The
beginning of true faithfulness to Christ is
faithfulness to the true teaching Word which
has become experience in our life.
Eve
had held on the true teaching Word for a long time, and she enjoyed
the Paradise's ambience. But, only
once she heard Satan (the serpent) who
reversed the Word, she suddenly
switched to the other and losing the
Paradise's ambience.
If we have
experienced God's care and the Paradise's joy, why must we
change and hear gossips or the other teaching?
Eve
added and reduced the Word = losing the faithfulness = changing
Paradise's ambience to curse ambience.
If
we have been faithful to the true teaching Word, we will be able to
become faithful in the ministry to God.
Furthermore, we will have
faithfulness within marriage.
Keep
the faithfulness!
Losing faithfulness
= losing the Paradise's ambience and moving to the curse ambience.
We must be solemn.
If
we live in holiness by the true
teaching Word and in faithfulness
by Holy Spirit, someday the
Word and Holy Spirit will become two wings of a great eagle,
greater than anything in this world.
The
function of two wings of a great eagle is as follows:
Revelation 12:14
12:14
But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she
might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished
for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the
serpent.
Two wings of a great eagle
will fly us to the wilderness far from the presence of antichrist.
It is equal to receiving
God's care and protection starting
for the present life in the world, during the antichrist time in the
world for 3.5 years, up to the eternal life.
The
diploma, work, bank account, etc, will not be useful until really
useless when antichrist reigns in the world.
Through
holiness and faithfulness, let us more and more rely on two wings of
a great eagle.
All things in this
world will not survive and will be destroyed, only two wings of a
great eagle will survive until God's second coming.
We
may work hard in the world, but we should not reduce the holiness
and faithfulness. Holiness and faithfulness must be increased.
-
Genuineness and unity.
Exodus
2:1-2
2:1. And a man of the house of Levi went and
took as wife a daughter of Levi.
2:2
So the woman conceived and bore a son. And when she
saw that he was a beautiful child, she
hid him three months.
A
beautiful son means as follows:
-
Carnally: beautiful future.
-
Spiritually: the heir of the kingdom of Heaven,
God's bride.
If we want to become God's bride, we
must pay attention on our marriage.
'A
man of the house of Levi went and took as wife a daughter of Levi'
means as follows:
-
Unity in the true teaching Word.
II
Samuel 22:31
22:31 As for God, His way is
perfect;The word of the LORD is proven; He is
a shield to all who trust in Him.
If
there are unity and genuineness in the true teaching Word within
our marriage or our individual life, God will give a shield.
Ephesians
6:16
6:16 above all, taking the shield of faith
with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the
wicked one.
The shield of
faith means we receive God's
protection from the fiery darts of the wicked one;
-
Temptation fire in every field.
If
there is a shield of faith, we will be strong facing any
temptation.
-
Sins fire (lies, etc, up to the peak of sin).
If there is a shield of faith, we will be
protected from sins, we may live in righteousness and holiness.
-
God's judgment fire from the world until in
the hell.
With the shield of faith,
we will be escaped from the demolition of the world and the
judgment of the hell.
-
Unity in ministry and true
shepherding.
-
Unity in true worship.
I
Samuel 1:3, 19
1:3 This man went up from his city
yearly to worship and sacrifice to the LORD of
hosts in Shiloh. Also the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, the
priests of the LORD, were there.
1:19
Then they rose early in the morning and worshiped
before the LORD, and returned and came to their house at
Ramah. And Elkanah knew Hannah his wife, and the LORD
remembered her.
Elkanah
and Hannah
(husband and wife) worshiped
God together.
Worshiping God =
looking Jesus' face which shines God's love.
John
10:22
10:22. Now it was the Feast of Dedication in
Jerusalem, and it was winter.
Be
watchful! The time of finishing the house of God was in winter. It
means that approaching the forming of the perfect body of Christ,
many God's churches in the condition of cold love (godless).
We
must worship God more such that our
love will not grow cold and not become godless.
In
the other hand, God remembers every
life who worships Him.
In
worship, we experience God's love;
-
God's love able to give way out from every
problem.
-
God's love able to give Heavenly joy which
cannot be affected by any condition of the world.
-
God's love changes our life, as Hannah's
face changed from sad to shining ?
the renewal of five senses.
This
morning, we start with renewal of three out of five senses.
John
10:27
10:27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know
them, and they follow Me.
Ears
only listen and obey the true teaching
Word.
John
10:32
10:32 Jesus answered them, "Many good
works I have shown you from My Father. For which of those works do
you stone Me?"
Eyes
only look on God's field =
prioritizing ministry in God's field.
John
10:36
10:36 do you say of Him whom the Father
sanctified and sent into the world, 'You are blaspheming,'
because I said, 'I am the Son of God'?
Lip
says right words and brings blessings to the others.
The
more our senses are renewed, the more shining our face is.
The
result is as follows:
Proverbs
20:12
20:12. The hearing ear and the seeing eye,
The LORD has made them both.
If ear
and eye are good, God will always remember us and give the
power of creation.
God is
able to create from nothing to become something. We should not
worry about our life and future.
Mark 7:37
7:37
And they were astonished beyond measure, saying, "He has
done all things well. He makes both the deaf to hear and the mute
to speak."
If lip and ear
are good, God will make everything
good; until the best/the most
beautiful, we will become God's bride as perfect as Him.
God blesses us.
