This Season : Christmas 2015

I have been thought about sacrifice,
That's what this season is all about,
So in me, I wonder, what is my sacrifice,
My giving to appreciate,
My gift to all,

Deep down, I wonder what to give,
People give money, food, clothing even time,
Yet I wonder what exactly I'd give,
Then I realize, it your accumulation,
What you really have,

This is my gift,
I call it Truth,
Come, walk on water with me,
That's my gift to you,
Where your feet may fail, (Ocean by Hillsng)
Walk on water, (kore),
My gift, This Christmas 2015.

Hope That Does Not Disappoint

Break free of negative thoughts and begin to develop a confident expectation of God’s goodness toward you every day! In this three-part series, Pastor Joseph Prince shows you why you can continue to trust God for your breakthrough. Be encouraged as you begin to take this journey of experiencing God’s great love for you!

HOPE, THE FUEL OF FAITH

You may be thinking, “Why is it so important to have Bible hope? What’s the big deal?”

My friend, Bible hope is important because it is a crucial ingredient for faith. Without hope, your faith cannot work. Hebrews 11:1 says, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” If you don’t have hope, how can you have faith? If you don’t have a confident expectation of good, what is there to give substance to your faith?

So having hope is necessary and important, because it fuels your faith.

Consider the woman with the issue of blood in the Bible. For twelve years, she had a chronic bleeding condition. She spent all her money seeking treatment from various physicians, but none of the treatments helped her. In fact, the Bible tells us that she “suffered many things from many physicians…and was no better, but rather grew worse” (Mark 5:26).

Most women would have given up on ever being cured, but this poor woman didn’t. She began to have Bible hope when she heard about the loving Savior. Let’s follow the story in Mark 5:27–29:

Do you see? Because of what she had heard about Jesus, a confident expectation of receiving good from Jesus arose on the inside of her and ignited her faith to believe that if she could just touch Jesus’ clothes, she would be made whole.

When she heard about Jesus, she came behind Him in the crowd and touched His garment. For she said, “If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well.” Immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of the affliction.

What caused this woman to brave the crowds, whom she knew could rightfully stone her for being in public in her unclean condition, and draw near to Jesus and take her healing from Him? It was bold faith fuelled by Bible hope. And this hope didn’t disappoint because it was based on Jesus’ love.

The more she heard about how Jesus willingly healed the diseased and despised—people like her—the more she began to see not a God of judgment but a God of love and compassion, and the more hope and unconscious faith grew in her.

Beloved, if you are believing God for healing in your body today, don’t focus on whether you have “sufficient” faith or not (there is no record in the Bible that the woman did this). Just keep hearing about Jesus—His love, His grace, and His goodness toward you. See from the Gospels how He healed the sick without any strings attached. Never once did He condemn anyone for being sick, or chide anyone for daring to ask Him for healing. He willingly healed all who came to Him, no matter what their histories were.

As you hear about His goodness and have a personal revelation of His love for you, a confident, positive expectation of good from the Lord will arise in your heart. Firmly established upon His love, this hope will fuel your faith so that like the woman with the issue of blood, you will reach out boldly to receive your miracle!

HOPE—THE MISSING LINK

Allow me to share with you another testimony on the power of Bible hope. Alice and her husband, a precious couple from Pennsylvania, US, wanted a child of their own. They tried for ten years, but Alice just could not conceive. She had even undergone a year of fertility treatments, only to develop later a large, painful cyst on her right ovary. The cyst was removed through a laparoscopy, but after the surgery, she was diagnosed with severe endometriosis. Her doctor proposed putting her on medication for conception, but Alice preferred not to be medicated. She decided to believe that God would bless her with a child and that He could and would do it independent of medical treatment.

Months passed and Alice still did not conceive. Then one day, she heard a sermon of mine that explained Bible hope and encouraged her to hope in a gracious God.

She also learned that this God had made her righteous and qualified her for every blessing through Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross. With Bible hope in her heart birthed out of a fresh revelation of God’s love for her, Alice told God that she wanted a champion of a baby. To God be the glory, Alice conceived not long after. And after a supernaturally easy pregnancy and labor, she and her husband now have a beautiful baby boy named, Noah!

“I was told that people with the level of endometriosis I was diagnosed with only have a one to two percent chance of conceiving without treatment, and that even with in vitro fertilization, the chances are low,” she said. “Yet, here is Noah with no help from man!”

When did her turning point come? Let me share with you what Alice explained so poignantly:

As I listened to your message, I realized how I had focused so much on trying to have faith for a baby, but was really afraid to hope for a baby in the “positive expectation of good” way you described. I’d thought that daring to hope would bring me more disappointment because I’d never heard that hope was a sure thing for those in Christ. This was the missing link for me in understanding faith as the substance of things hoped for, not a work or level of belief I needed to maintain.

Isn’t that beautiful? Hope sprang up in her heart when she realized that faith is not something that she had to work at or try to maintain. And when she realized that hope “was a sure thing for those in Christ,” her faith just skyrocketed. This is why the Bible says faith is the substance of things hoped for. Your faith can’t take you where you want to go without the fuel of hope. And, as Alice discovered, this hope is a sure thing, an unshakable expectation of a most favorable outcome.

It is my prayer that you will, like Alice, learn to grow in and always have a positive expectation of good, knowing that God loves you and wants to fulfill the deepest desires of your heart.

Beloved, if you are sick right now, I want to encourage you to keep on having a confident expectation that you will get better. If you lack financially, keep on having a positive expectation that supply is on the way. Keep on hoping that that wayward teenager will become a man or woman of God. Keep on hoping, knowing that this hope will not disappoint because it is anchored to the Lord’s love and finished work. And one of these days, sooner than you think, you will relish the fruit of your hope!

Search Me and Know My Heart

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.
1 O Lord, you have searched me and known me!
2 You know when I sit down and when I rise up;
you discern my thoughts from afar.
3 You search out my path and my lying down
and are acquainted with all my ways.
4 Even before a word is on my tongue,
behold, O Lord, you know it altogether.
5 You hem me in, behind and before,
and lay your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
it is high; I cannot attain it.
7 Where shall I go from your Spirit?
Or where shall I flee from your presence?
8 If I ascend to heaven, you are there!
If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there!
9 If I take the wings of the morning
and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
10 even there your hand shall lead me,
and your right hand shall hold me.
11 If I say, “Surely the darkness shall cover me,
and the light about me be night,”
12 even the darkness is not dark to you;
the night is bright as the day,
for darkness is as light with you.
13 For you formed my inward parts;
you knitted me together in my mother's womb.
14 I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Wonderful are your works;
my soul knows it very well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you,
when I was being made in secret,
intricately woven in the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my unformed substance;
in your book were written, every one of them,
the days that were formed for me,
when as yet there was none of them.
17 How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!
How vast is the sum of them!
18 If I would count them, they are more than the sand.
I awake, and I am still with you.
19 Oh that you would slay the wicked, O God!
O men of blood, depart from me!
20 They speak against you with malicious intent;
your enemies take your name in vain.
21 Do I not hate those who hate you, O Lord?
And do I not loathe those who rise up against you?
22 I hate them with complete hatred;
I count them my enemies.
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart!
Try me and know my thoughts!
24 And see if there be any grievous way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting!

Mighty Jesus

In the middle of that confusing and scary situation, I suddenly shouted “tuhan Yesus tolong,” meaning “Jesus, please help me.” Very quickly, that man released his hand off my necklace and jumped off the vehicle in fear.

No More Condemnation

I was born in a Christian family, but I’d never fully understood how much God loves me. I used to condemn myself whenever I made a mistake and would feel like the glory of God had departed from me.

Thinking like a CEO: Why a 19-year-old is winning the clean energy game in Kenya

Tom Osborn has a humble manner about him, which is
surprising since, at the age of 19, he has already been
recognised as one of world’s top young entrepreneurs.
“In Africa there are a lot of young entrepreneurs who
have great ideas but they never get noticed or past the
small-scale level. I think one reason is that they poorly
position themselves and the organisation,” says Tom
Osborn.
He is the founder of GreenChar in Kenya, a clean energy
start-up that produces charcoal briquettes for cooking
purposes that are both healthier to use and last longer.
His coals are produced from recycled agricultural waste
such as sugarcane, which studies show emit 90% less
smoke, and have 60% more energy than the normal
charcoal used for cooking.
GreenChar is less than two years old, but has already
caused a buzz. Osborn has recently been named as one
of Forbes ‘ global ’30 under 30′ social entrepreneurs, and
last year was selected as a 2014 Anzisha Fellow,
winning US$10,000 from Donors’ Circle at the Anzisha
Prize Gala Awards.
He was also chosen as a global Echoing Green Fellow
for 2014, which comes with two years of funding
totalling $80,000. He is the youngest recipient to receive
the fellowship in the organisation’s 27-year-history.
Humble beginnings
Osborn’s inspiration behind starting GreenChar was
based on a concern for the health of his community,
particularly his mom. Growing up in Awendo, a small
town in Kenya, he watched how women in the
community would cook meals for their families on
charcoal-fuelled cookstoves. And as a young child, it
was Osborn’s duty to light the cookstove for his mother
every day for lunch.
But in high school he discovered something that worried
him. “I randomly came across a report saying smoke
from firewood and charcoal killed more people than
AIDS, Malaria and TB combined,” he explained.
“That really shocked me and made me start thinking of
my mom, and that maybe she was slowly dying from all
the times she had cooked for us. And I felt guilty
because I was one of the people she was cooking for.
So I wanted to try to help her.”
He started researching online and came across students
at MIT who were testing the potential of converting
agricultural waste into charcoal. Osborn got in touch
with them and found out how to produce the healthier
charcoal briquettes that GreenChar now offers the
market.
Thinking like a CEO
It wasn’t just a good idea that led to GreenChar’s
success today. Osborn had to think strategically to
overcome a number of challenges facing adoption of his
company’s product in the market. For starters, he
needed to convince consumers to change the way they
have always cooked.
“Initially we had to give free samples, because it is a big
thing in Kenya that people don’t like to change,” he
said.
The free samples allowed him to educate consumers on
the benefit of using his eco-friendly charcoal briquettes.
Another strategic decision was to make sure
GreenChar’s product could compete with the price of
normal charcoal. “For our target customers the biggest
factor for them is price. So we believe that even though
our product is better quality, it should not be
expensive.”
For this reason, Osborn began offering their product at a
cheaper price. “And that is why I think we have been
very successful so far with sales. Once someone uses it
and is able to experience the benefits, and also realises
it is cheaper, they come back to buy it again.”
Growth supported by product diversification
When GreenChar first started it had the capacity to
produce 30kgs of its charcoal briquettes a day, but it
wasn’t long before Osborn and his team were unable to
keep up with demand. Using their revenue from sales,
they managed to increase this to 50kgs per day. This
soon proved not to be enough either.
However, to increase their production capacity further,
he realised they had to hire more staff, and this meant
they needed more money. The solution: product
diversification.
“At that point we decided to start selling cookstoves to
increase our revenue base so that in turn we could
scale up the charcoal production,” he recalled.
GreenChar partnered with Envirofit, a global
manufacturer of cookstoves that ensured optimum
efficiency of his eco-friendly charcoal briquettes. The
company started selling these in bundles to groups of
women, where the group pays instalments and the
women act as security for each other.
The revenue generated from this was enough to allow
GreenChar to scale up production to 150kgs a day. But
of course even this proved not to be enough.
Using funds Osborn received from Echoing Green last
year, GreenChar bought two acres of land and started
building its own manufacturing plant. The factory was
completed in November and the company produces
2,000kgs of briquettes a day, with the capacity to
increase this to 3,000kgs.
The company has also set up a research and
development team of university students to design
GreenChar’s own cookstoves.
Be well aware of risks
“I think in Africa there are a lot of young entrepreneurs
who have great ideas but they never get noticed or past
the small-scale level. I think one reason is that they
poorly position themselves and the organisation. They
don’t know how to tell their story. They don’t know
how to create their brand. And I think that is also very
important,” said Osborn.
“So I think entrepreneurs should spend a lot of time not
only on their products, but also on working out how
they are going to sell them.”
Osborn believes solutions to many of Africa’s problems
lie in its youth, and advises aspiring entrepreneurs to
take the most important step and start. However, he
added, they should be aware of the risks.
“In my case I have sacrificed a college education for two
years, and if GreenChar doesn’t work I might be
screwed up for the rest of my life. And that is very
scary,” he noted.

Rhythm of Life

All stance feel nice,
When the heart is in tune,
I see myself in line,
With all rhythm of life,
I find peace for concepts,

My precious soul,
Wouldn't you lose yourself?
In common cause,
Fall into worldly lust,

Yes, I fear,
Yet I trust,
My hope in Christ,
His word my fate,
Rhythms of life,
Can't tear me apart.

4 Things I Wish Someone Had Told Me in My Twenties

It's never too late to learn what you wish you'd known.
by JEFF GOINS

“Just one big idea. One big idea, and we can change the
world.”

I made the mistake of uttering those words in the back
seat of a car many years ago in the companyi of some
older, wiser colleagues. We were racing from one
meeting to the next, and I, the token twentysomething,
was trying to divert attention away from work to a more
exciting subject. Dreams.
Rattling off recent causes and businesses that had
suddenly exploded, I marveled at the power of big ideas.
It was, apparently, all you needed to change the world—
and make a million dollars.
One of my colleagues smiled as I went on and on about
the power of creativity. He eventually burst into laughter
saying, “Really?! You think that’s all it takes? A big
idea? You’ve got a lot to learn.”
At first, the words stung. But years later, after actually
pursuing a dream, I realized how true they were. Finding
your purpose is rarely as easy as we think it is. We tell
millennials to go set fire to the world, that all they need
is a big idea and enough passion to sustain them. But I
have to wonder: are we doing them, and the world, a
disservice?
Looking back, I wish someone would have told me these
things earlier—or if they did, that I would have listened:
Don’t Just Chase Passion, Look for Opportunity
Telling someone to chase their passion is just plain bad
advice. Or at very least, it’s incomplete.

FINDING PURPOSE IS REALLY ABOUT OPPORTUNITY—
THAT PLACE WHERE YOUR PASSION, SKILLS AND THE
NEEDS OF THE WORLD CONNECT.

So many people are wandering from one job to the next,
wasting the best years of their life chasing a dream
instead of mastering a skill. This problem doesn’t apply
to just twentysomethings; it also affects people in their
thirties, forties and even fifties.
Frederick Buechner wrote that vocation is the place
where our deep joy meets the world’s need. I think
that’s true. Finding your purpose isn’t about doing just
what you’re passionate about. Of course, that’s part of
the formula, but it’s only one part.
Finding purpose is really about opportunity—that place
where your passion, skills and the needs of the world
connect. When you find what you’re good at, what you
love and what people want, you’ve found something
special.
I used to think life was all about pursuing your passion.
Now, I understand it’s about identifying opportunities
and going after the ones that align with what makes
you come alive.

Your Best Mentor Is Right in Front of You
In my twenties, I worked for a nonprofit—first as a
copywriter, then as the marketing director. For the most
part, I liked my job, but that didn’t stop me from
wondering what I was missing out on. I spent seven
years dreaming, seven years of longing, frustration and
wondering what was next. Then one day, I met someone
who opened my eyes to everything I was doing wrong.
Who was this mysterious guide? My boss.
The executive director of our organization, Seth, had a
wealth of knowledge I was oblivious to, because I was
blinded by my own ambition and arrogance. Having
earned his MBA years ago, Seth was a smart
entrepreneur, had a sharp marketing mind and was a
great writer. I kept looking outside my circles for the
perfect mentor, while missing out on the one that was
right in front of me.
When I finally began taking Seth’s advice, I realized how
much I had been missing. Years later, when I told him it
was time for me to move on and start my own business,
he said he was proud of me and admitted that I had
outgrown my role. But it was his guidance that had
prepared me for such a transition in the first place.
We all want someone to show us the way, but the truth
is the best mentors are usually right in front of us.

Ideas Are Cheap, Action Is Costly
I used to be a big idea guy. Every few months, I’d tell
my wife about some new project I was going to launch.
This was it, I would tell her. This was the big idea that
was going to make me famous and change the world.
Usually, she would just smile and sometimes sigh
faintly.
And of course, it never happened. I would get bored or
distracted and move on, abandoning the big idea,
moving on to the next thing. For me, it was all about
novelty. The next, new thing was always better than the
old. But after years of doing this, never seeing any of my
ideas take off, I wondered if my approach was all
wrong.
It wasn’t until I read a book by Scott Belsky when I
began to reframe my understanding of creativity,
dreams and what it took to do meaningful work. In
Making Ideas Happen , Belsky writes, “It’s not about
ideas. It’s about making ideas happen.”
After that, I stopped worrying about better ideas and
started focusing on better execution. Sure, it’s great to
have a good idea. And it’s certainly easier to make a
good idea succeed than a bad one. But a decent idea
with good execution is better than a great idea with
zero execution.

It’s Not About You
Recently, I was in the back seat of a truck, driving
through rural Kenya. My business had generated enough
revenue the previous year that we were able to make a
donation to a small nonprofit, and now we were on our
way to see where it had gone. We were driving to the
site of the building we had helped construct in the
middle of a leper colony.

PASSION CAN ONLY GET YOU SO FAR. WHAT IT
REALLY TAKES TO FIND MEANINGFUL WORK IN THIS
WORK IN THIS WORLD IS COMMITMENT.

When we arrived, I was amazed at what I saw: The
building was a one-room workshop, full of mothers with
babies on their backs, furiously sewing handbags and
school uniforms. They would later sell these at the
market, giving a percentage of overhead to keep the
building operational and keeping the net profit for
themselves.
How did we get here? I don’t recall ever having a big
idea. All I did was start a blog, sharing what I knew.
Over time, this slowly grew into a business, which had
brought me halfway around the world to something so
much bigger than I ever could have imagined.
Honestly, I thought it was about me in the beginning,
and standing in that camp just outside of Mombasa,
surrounded by mud huts and red dirt, I realized how so
very little of it had to do with me.
It reminded me of just a few years before when I was
sitting in the back of another car and had made the
mistake of thinking big ideas are what change the
world. Now, I know better. Ideas are just the beginning.
Passion can only get you so far. What it really takes to
find meaningful work in this world is commitment. It
means using the opportunities you have right now,
sometimes sticking with a job longer than you’d like,
understanding how God uses everything but loves to
use our faithfulness.
Chances are, at some point in your life you’ll find
yourself in the backseat of one car or another. The
question is, will it be the one full of dreams, or the one
taking you somewhere you never could have imagined?

What I Really Know

More confused than ever,
As each drop vanishes,
Have I lost it,
Or is it mystery seeking its way out?
Fate speak!!! can't take it anymore,

Fresh air calms the troubled soul,
Let fresh revelations calm your heart,
Though strong trees are unrooted,
Let the weak leaves decay,
Green leaves come alive,

To retain knowledge,
Let go of past believes,
Yes equally weigh it relevance,
See it through first, speckless view,
That relevance retained and nix eradicated

The Promise --- Acts 13:38-39

38 "Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man (Jesus) is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:
39 And by him (Jesus) all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses." Acts 13:38-39 (KJV)

Extra Ordinary Cos of Christ

I fail with words,
Speeches and essays all alike,
Weak in heart,
Short in sight,
Nevertheless, I am strong,

How can this be,
An ordinary man,
Possess extraordinary grounds,
Cos of Christ, a saviour

Like every others,
I have this pleasures,
Yet I am rest assured,
Heart beats assured,
Even as I write,
My story speaks assurance,
I lean and cling,
I speak and boast,
I believe and receive,
Even to doing good deeds,
And Thinking right thoughts,
All this I do,
By believing to receive,

I am extraordinary Cos of Christ,
I boast of his work,
It causes me to rest,
And who is this saviour?
It's Jesus,Son of God

For he cried,
Died and was buried,
Resurrected and assended,
That I become extraordinary,
Not by my works nor deeds,
Through faith archeived,
Grace manifest,
Love store,
Forever keeps me,
In the beauty and provision,
Of Christ, this Jesus
Who make me extraordinary
Victory Hallelujah
