JESUS IS THE ANSWER
Jesus never change, He is the God of Miracle. In such a miraculous day, Wednesday June 24, 2020, we held another Miracle Day event. The theme was Jesus is the source of every solution in our life. The service delivered by servants of God in Marketplace from such a diverse industries and professions. They are: Christian Panggabean (Heavy Equipment Rental), Berliana Simanjuntak (Journalist), Satrio Dwihasto (Internet Service Provider), Wimpy Tjahja (Internet Service Provider) and Connie Rineke (Chemical Industry).
“Only in Jesus we find rest”
Brother Christian Panggabean started the service with the message taken from Matthew 11:28 (KJV) “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are havey laden, and I will give you rest”. In the world that is full of uncertainty, we perpetually ended in hopelessness in varies aspect of our life, or worse all at once. The first book of Genesis clearly stated that God has never intended human to live in suffering. Quite the reverse, we were created to be joyful, full of peace, wise and in total contentment.
However, when man sinned against God, that was the beginning of suffering whereas man have lost the position that he himself could never redeem. Hence Jesus, whom man have rebelled against with, instead of letting man receive the wages of sin which is death that he deserves, had decided to come to this earth as a regular human being, sacrificed Himself by hanged on the Tree, so that we could receive forgiveness of sin, redeemed and regained the position of having eternal life as stated in John 3:16.
Moreover, not only we are restored, but we also received the ultimate plan of God. That is to carry His great commission, and that is to live on this earth as God’s representative especially within the Marketplace. The congregations were invited to receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, and following to that, a prayer for those people who wanted to present their life for God, lead by Berliana Simanjuntak.
“If only I touch His clothes, I will be healed”
The message proceed by our Brother Satrio Dwihasto sharing the word written in Mark 5:25-34. This is a story of a woman who had suffered hemorrhage, an issue of blood for twelve years. She had endured a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all that she had, yet conversely her condition was getting worse. When she knew Jesus was passing by, her faith sparked creativity whereas she told herself “If only I touch His clothes, I will be healed”. And truly she was healed instantly when she touched Jesus’ garment. Great faith never conduct us to come to Jesus in a regular way.
Our brother Wimpy Tjahja carried on the service by praying for the healing power of Jesus to be poured down for the congregation as promised in I Peter 2:24. As this live stream was occurring, we believe many came to Jesus Christ and received healing.
As Jesus followers, especially positioned by God in the Marketplace, we have a duty to intercede for our nation of Indonesia, primarily during the transition to a new normal in regards with Covid-19 pandemic. The prayers were lead by Berliana Simanjuntak and Wimpy Tjahja.
Concluding the service, the congregation was encouraged to be a blessing for their local Christian office fellowship and not to hesitate reaching to our call center for prayer request and to notify healing testimonies as well. A gentle reminder was given as well, and that is to comply with government regulation in effort to put an end for this Corona pandemic, and as well a closing prayer brought by Connie Rineke. All praise and worship to Lord Jesus Christ who has been the one and only answer of our life and always will. Amen.
