Prayer Service in Surabaya, January 06, 2016 (Wednesday Evening)
Preacher:
Deacon Youpri Ardiantoro
Peace and grace in
the love of our Lord Jesus christ. Good evening, let us hear the Word
of God. Let the peace, grace, and joy of God be in the midst of us
abundantly.
This evening, we
will study
Mark
10:36
10:36
And He said to them, "What do you want Me to do for you?"
This
is Jesus' question to James and John; and to us as well.
What
is the requirement
so that this verse also applies to us?
Mark
10:35
10:35
Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to Him, saying,
"Teacher, we want You to do for us whatever we ask."
There
is a term 'Teacher', which means that James and John put themselves
as disciples of Jesus. It shows a relationship of a teacher and a
disciple, which is about a teaching; a relationship of teaching.
So,
we HAVE to accept
the Word of teaching
so that Jesus will be willing to do whatever we ask.
There
are 2 kinds of Word, as follows.
-
The
gospel, which preaches about Jesus' first coming to the world -
Christmas -, to save us, the sinful people.
The signs of being
saved are believing in Jesus, repenting, entering the water baptism,
and having a new life: a life
in righteousness.
- The
teaching, the light of the gospel of the glory of the Lord, which is
Jesus' own words. It shows us what is wrong, rebukes us, and advises
us about our lives.
If we listen, understand, believe, and do
the Word, It will stay in our lives.
John
15:7
15:7
If you abide in Me, and My
words abide in you,
you will ask what you desire, and it
shall be done for you.
The
result is what we desire shall be done for us.
This is why we
need to pay attention to the Word when we are listening to It. We
have to listen to the Word earnestly so that we can understand,
believe, and do It.
There
are 2
responses
to the question 'What
do you want Me to do for you?',
as follows.
- Our
daily needs,
such as financial needs, health, jobs.
However, if we only ask
for these things, we will be like the church of Laodiceans who was
lukewarm, and we will be vomited by God and be separated forever and
ever.
- This
is why our response should be upgraded to our
spiritual needs.
We need to ask to God that when Jesus is coming for the second time,
we can sit
next to Him in the throne of Heaven
- this is the highest demand.
Mark
10:37
10:37
They said to Him, "Grant us that we
may sit,
one on Your right hand and the other on Your left, in
Your glory."
Jesus'
first coming to the earth was as a baby.
On Jesus' second coming
to the earth, He will be the King of kings and the Groom of Heaven.
The one who can sit on the throne of Heaven is the Groom of Heaven.
Revelation
19:6-7
19:6
And I heard, as it were, the voice of a great multitude, as the
sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty thunderings, saying,
"Alleluia! For the Lord God Omnipotent
reigns!
19:7 Let
us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the
marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready."
What
should we prepare
to be able to sit on the throne of GOD? We need to learn from Esther.
- Esther
2:2
2:2
Then the king's servants who attended him said: "Let beautiful
young virgins
be sought for the king;
'beautiful'
is the quality of a virgin.
The first thing we need is that
we have to be
like a virgin
in a spiritual meaning.
2
Corinthians 11:2-4
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!
A
'virgin' means someone faithful
to a man, which means we hold firmly to a true teaching, which is
written in the Bible, one verse explaining other verses.
Our
preparation is to
hold firmly to a one true teaching.
Revelation
14:4-5
14:4
These are the ones who were
not defiled with women,
for they are virgins. These are the ones who follow the Lamb
wherever He goes. These were redeemed from among men, being
firstfruits to God and to the Lamb.
14:5 And
in their mouth was found no deceit, for they are without fault
before the throne of God.
Those
who hold firmly to the Word cannot be defiled by 2 women, as
follows.
- The
first woman is the woman of Babylon, who refers to the teaching of
Babylon which teaches about the physical glory and entertainment,
without the sanctification from sins, so that God's children will
always stay in sins until the peak of sins, and they will not even
feel guilty of doing them.
Revelation
22:11
22:11
He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let
him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him be righteous[a]
still; he who is holy, let him be holy still."
As
Jesus' second coming is coming near, the sins that we keep will
grow until the peak of sins, which are the sins concerning
eating-drinking and the sins of marrying and giving in marriage.
These days, we should never ignore and keep a sin, no
matter how small it is, but we need to use our time to repent from
our sins so that we can welcome Jesus in His second coming.
- The
second woman is Jezebel, who taught that women may teach and have
authority over a man; either in the family or in the services and
ministry.
Revelation
2:20
2:20
Nevertheless I have a few things against you, because you allow
that woman Jezebel,
who calls herself a prophetess, to teach
and seduce My servants to commit sexual immorality and eat things
sacrificed to idols.
The
consequence is like the church of Thyatira, although their ministry
was great, they had a defect in His eyes, so they could not be
perfect.
1
Timothy 2:11-12
2:11
Let a woman learn
in silence
with all submission.
2:12
And
I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man,
but to be in silence.
Women
should not teach and have authority over a man in marriage and in
the ministry where there is a man; women may teach whenever there
is no man, for example in the Woman Service.
Women should
'learn
in silence',
which means being obedient.
This verse is related to the
fall of Eve. Adam and Eve received one command from God: 'Of
every tree of the garden you may freely eat, but one'.
However, this one is the one that is targeted.
The same thing
also applies for us now. Women
may minister in anything, except teaching and having authority over
a man.
- Esther
2:3
2:3
and let the king appoint officers in all the provinces of his
kingdom, that they may gather all the beautiful young virgins to
Shushan the citadel, into the
women's quarters,
under
the custody of Hegai the king's eunuch,
custodian of the women. And let beauty preparations be given
them.
The
second preparation is to
be placed in the women's quarters.
It refers to the
shepherding.
If we are already spiritually beautiful (we have already
held firmly to the true Word), we need to be in the true
shepherding, which is the diligence in 3 kinds of service; we need
to enter the Holy Room.
The
results
are as follows.
- During
the time in the women's quarters, they are beautified by the
perfumes. The first result is to
produce a fragrance
in God's presence.
The
proofs
that we have produced a fragrance are as follows.
Songs
of Solomon 4:11
4:11
Your
lips,
O my spouse, Drip
as the honeycomb; Honey and milk are under your tongue; And the
fragrance of your garments
Is like the fragrance of Lebanon.
- 'garments'
refer to our righteous and good daily attitude.
- 'Lips
that drip as the honeycomb' refer to nice speech, which is
righteous and good speech until we do not speak wrongly.
- 2
Corinthians 2:12-14
2:12
Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ's gospel, and
a door was opened to me by the Lord,
2:13 I
had no rest in my spirit, because I did not find Titus my brother;
but taking my leave of them, I departed for Macedonia.
2:14 Now
thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and
through us diffuses
the fragrance
of His knowledge in every place.
Second
result is we are used to be
a witness
about the gospel and the teaching.
We need to diffuse the
fragrance to let other people knows God too. If we do not diffuse
the fragrance but we become the stumbling stone for others, we will
have to pay for it.
This
evening, we need to struggle in diligence and the true shepherding.
We are sanctified continuously until we produce the good fragrance
to God.
- Esther
2:15-16
2:15
Now when the turn came for Esther the daughter of Abihail the uncle
of Mordecai, who had taken her as his daughter, to go in to the
king, she requested nothing
but what Hegai the king's eunuch, the custodian of the women,
advised.
And Esther obtained favor
in the sight of all who saw her.
2:16 So
Esther was taken to King Ahasuerus, into his royal palace, in the
tenth month, which is the month of Tebeth, in the seventh year of
his reign.
The
third preparation is to be
obedient
to the Word whatever the risks are.
It may not be nice for
the flesh to be obedient, but it is a positive point for us.
The
conclusion
is we need to be a virgin to be able to sit on the throne of Heaven,
which means that we need to hold
firmly to the true teaching
which will produce the fragrance for God, to be
in the righteous and true shepherding,
and to be
obedient.
Obedience
is the key for us to sit on the throne of Heaven.
Obedience is the one thing that distinguishes Esther from other
women.
Esther
1:17
1:17
For the queen's behavior will become known to all women, so that
they will despise their husbands in their eyes, when they report,
'King Ahasuerus commanded Queen Vashti to be brought in before him,
but she
did not come.'
Queen
Vashti was commanded to be brought in before the King, but she did
not come. Because of this reason, she was thrown away although she
was a queen.
This evening, we need to pay attention to the
obedience.
God's commands usually seem small so that we
ignore them. If it is God's word, never ignore it, no matter how big
or small it is. We need to obey it whatever the risks are.
This
obedience also covers about marriage, especially a wife should obey
his husband whatever the risks are.
The
condition
of God's Bride is in
the threat of death.
It refers to the suffering without sins.
Esther
4:16
4:16
"Go, gather all the Jews who are present in Shushan, and fast for
me; neither eat nor drink for three days, night or day. My maids and
I will fast likewise. And so I will go to the king, which is against
the law; and if I perish, I perish!"
What
do we need
to face the sprinkle of blood?
Esther
5:2
5:2
So it was, when the king saw Queen Esther standing in the court, that
she found favor in his sight, and the
king held out
to Esther the
golden scepter
that was in his hand. Then Esther went near and touched the top of
the scepter.
We
need the golden scepter, which refers to God's
grace.
The
usages
of God's grace are as follows.
- Hebrews
4:16
4:16
Let us therefore come
boldly to
the throne of grace,
that we may obtain mercy and find grace to
help
in time of need.
The
first usage is to help
us right on its time.
God's time will not be too late nor too early.
God's
help is not limited to the size of the problem. It was not only
Esther who were saved, but the whole Israelites. The same thing can
happen for us. If we have God's grace, it is not impossible that all
of our family members are helped.
- The
second usage is that the grace gives
us happiness and strength
so that we will not be disappointed whatever we are facing, and we
can be strong
and of good courage.
- The
third usage is the grace saves
and makes us perfect,
and we can welcome Jesus on His second coming in glory, we will be
eligible to sit on the throne of Heaven with Him.
Jesus will
come as the Groom of Heaven, and we will welcome Him as the Bride of
Heaven. The Groom and the Bride will be united forever and ever, and
we will sit on the throne of glory.
We
need God's grace these days.
God
blesses us.
