LIGHTING THE FIRE AGAIN

When the Heavens are brass
Ketika Langit menjadi tembaga

Deut. 28:23
The sky over your head will be bronze,
the ground beneath you iron.

Ula 28:23
Juga langit yang di atas kepalamu akan menjadi tembaga
dan tanah yang di bawahpun menjadi besi.

2 Chron 7:14
if my people, who are called by my name,
will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and
turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven
and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

2 Taw 7:14
dan umat-Ku, yang atasnya nama-Ku disebut,
merendahkan diri, berdoa dan mencari wajah-Ku,
lalu berbalik dari jalan-jalannya yang jahat,
maka Aku akan mendengar dari sorga dan
mengampuni dosa mereka, serta memulihkan negeri mereka.

What must we do?
Apa yang harus kita lakukan?

Psalm 51:16,17,
“You, O Lord, do not delight in sacrifice or I would bring it;
you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings.
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart…”

Maz 51:16,17,
Sebab Engkau tidak berkenan kepada korban sembelihan;
sekiranya kupersembahkan korban bakaran,
Engkau tidak menyukainya.
Korban sembelih-an kepada Allah ialah jiwa yang hancur;
hati yang patah dan remuk tidak akan Kaupandang hina, ya Allah.

* Humble ourselves
   Merendahkan diri
* Pray, Seek God’s face and turn from our wicket ways
    Berdoa, Mencari Wajah Tuhan dan berbalik
    dari jalan-jalan yang jahat

OUR CALL
PANGGILAN KITA

2 Cor. 5:17
2 Kor. 5:17

Something becomes new when we receive Jesus.
Sesuatu menjadi baru ketika kita menerima Yesus.

And things become good because something changes inside of us.
Dan ha-hal menjadi baik karena sesuatu didalam kita berubah.

We’re responsible to bring the good news to others.
Kita bertanggung jawab untuk membawa kabar baik kepada orang lain.

We’ve been reconciled with Jesus; we’re entrusted the ministry of reconciliation.
Kita telah didamaikan dengan Yesus; kita dipercayakan pelayanan pendamaian.

How?
Caranya?

Preparation - Luke 10:2-4
It’s not the harvest problem; it’s the worker’s problem! 
Evangelism is always started with PRAYER. 

Persiapan – Lukas 10:2-4
Bukan masalah tuaian; tetapi masalah pekerja!
Penginjilan dimulai dengan DOA.

Jesus’ method:
Cara Yesus:

CHERISHED COVENANT

1. Keeping the Peace – Love & Respect
2. Keeping the Bond – Communication
3. Keeping the Flame – Sexual Intimacy

Session 1:
Keeping the Peace – Love & Respect:

All conflicts starts from a very simple thing: “we don’t get what we want”
The problem:
we all want something, and often what we want is different, thereby creating a conflict
The reality:
we can’t always get what we want
The solution:
we need to accept the reality that often we won’t get what we want, but there are many ways we can learn to make things better

Session 2:
Keeping the Bond: Communication

86 % of divorced couples cite “deficient communication” as the main reason their marriages fail.
Communication:
not just talking and listening but self revelation;
involving the sharing of thoughts, feelings, experiences, values, priorities and judgments while the other listens sympathetically.

Session 3:
Keeping the Flame: Sexual Intimacy

Understand that God created sexuality, marriage and the sexual union between husband and wife
Gen 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. 28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number…” 31 God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.

October 23 – October 26, 2009
Auckaland, NZ

IFGF GISI Auckland is honoured to host Ps. Daniel Hanafi to be the guest speaker on the annual Labour Weekend Retreat at Shakespeare Lodge Whangaparaoa – Auckland, New Zealand.

In 4 days and 3 nights (October 23-26, 2009), Ps. Danny shook our heart and soul. The message from Ps. Daniel Hanafi is loud and clear, from the basic foundations of our Church to the core mission of IFGF GISI. God taught us through Ps. Danny that we are the Battleships – everyone in the church is not a seat warmer, they have a real purpose and a task to fulfil. We have to reach people and make an impact so that God’s plan will be magnifies in the community, the city, the country and the world. 

The retreat wasn’t just fun and joyful, but a mind blowing experience that forever will change our lives. Four people gave themselves to be baptised, many received the anointing of the Holy Spirit and surrendered their life fully to be used as tools in His wondrous works. We laughed, we shed tears of joys, we cried for mercy and forgiveness and we jumped for joy for He is our Loving Father. We sang, we lifted His name up high, we bow down in honour and our life is forever changed!

People is our mission and Auckland’s Battle Ship is ready to spread His glory!

Testimonies from Auckland Battleship:

I learnt a lot from Ps Danny’s sessions and it has been a blessing to me. Although I’ve only been in this church less than a year but it got a high impact on me. In the end I am so grateful that I can be baptised and to know Jesus closer.” – Cingcing

 “ A full on retreat – 12 sermons and about 2 or 3 hours long  for each session – but uncounted blessings! The testimonies and sermons from Ps Danny have strengthened my faith, prepared me to be part of the battleship and built a strong foundation to be an unshakeable generation.” – Revita

 “It was such a blessing to meet Ps Danny and listen to the word of God through him. He is truly a wonderful man of God that has encouraged all of us to become a great impact.” – Devi

 “Ps Danny challenged me to be re-baptised (I was baptised when I was 1 year old). I took the challenge and two weeks on now, I feel like a different person. God has really changed my life and He will keep on doing it until my time comes. I will pray that God will use Ps Danny more and more in his ministry.” – Hanhan

 “I feel really blessed by the retreat. It was awesome and full of miracles! I really learnt a lot from Ps Danny’s sermons and many of my prayers were answered. Thank you for your sharing and advice.” – Evelinda

And then, we had a Lunch Meeting together with Full Gospel Business Men’s Fellowship International (FGBMFI- Brisbane Chapter for Indonesian speaking) with 20 people coming and Ps.Daniel Hanafi shared his wonderful testimony about his first meeting with Jesus Christ. It’s very touching and encouraging us to know that how great our God is. After lunch meeting, we rushed to mrs.Laura (a friend of Ps.Daniel Hanafi’s school mate in Gold Coast) who needed pray for her son to have Leukimia Stem-Cell transplant in couple days later. At last session, we had a combined iCare group service with dinner together at vice pastor’s place with 20 people coming and Ps.Daniel Hanafi gave a wonderful message about “How to know the God’s will” in our daily life practically with two ways communication.

THEOLOGY – WHO IS GOD?
Teologi – Siapakah Tuhan?

The only thing you can understand about God is
through the things He chose to reveal to you.
Hal-hal yang dapat kita mengerti tentang Tuhan hanyalah hal-hal
yang dipilih Tuhan untuk dinyatakan kepada kita.

“Christ Himself, in whom are hidden all the treasures
of wisdom and knowledge.” (Ko.2:2-3)
“yaitu Kristus, sebab di dalam Dialah tersembunyi segala harta
hikmat dan pengetahuan.” (Col.2:2-3, NASB)

We cannot know God outside of Himself
Kita tidak dapat mengenal Tuhan di luar daripada diri-Nya

One of the attributes of God: Eternal Life (John 2:16)
Salah satu karakter Allah: Hidup yang Kekal (Yoh.2:16)

To know Him, we cannot only believe He exists; we need to accept Him.
Untuk mengenal Dia, kita tidak hanya percaya; tetapi menerima Dia.

What’s eternal life?
Apakah hidup kekal itu?

This is eternal life,
that they may know You, the only true God
and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.
Inilah hidup yang kekal itu,
yaitu bahwa mereka mengenal Engkau, satu-satunya Allah yang benar,
dan mengenal Yesus Kristus yang telah Engkau utus.

Know = intimate knowing!
Mengenal = mengenal dengan intim!

God wants us to know how fulfilling and satisfying to know Him.
Tuhan ingin kita tahu betapa dipenuhi dan dipuaskan dalam mengenal Dia.

There are about 625 names of God in the Bible.
Ada sekitar 625 nama-nama Tuhan di dalam Alkitab.

Why would God want to reveal Himself to us?
So we’ll know Him.
Mengapa TUhan mau menyatakan diriNya kepada kita?
Supaya kita mengenal Dia.

Have an old used laptop gathering dust somewhere, but don’t know how or where to get rid of it? Here’s some great news! Donate a laptop and Join the movement to empower many leaders in Uganda, Nigeria, and Sierra Leone!

World Harvest in collaboration with a local church, IFGF GISI Los Angeles, is putting together a Regional Conference from January 6 – January 22, 2010 to help equip the local community and church leaders, mainly in the 4 regions of Africa, which include Kampala (Uganda), Lagos and Warri Delta (Nigeria), and Freetown (Sierra Leone). Equipping the community and church leaders with leadership conference is very necessary, but the greatest need would be in providing good and effective materials for those leaders so they will be equipped and followed up well even after the conference is over. Many of these leaders who have the great responsibility of working in the urban and rural areas of Africa, have received little training, have few, if any, books and receive little ongoing teaching support for their works.

In fact, most of these leaders are lacking a crucial piece of technology that can help them work even more effectively – a laptop!

We realized that there is a need for trained leaders who can bring impact to their communities with vision, integrity, and character. Our goal is to equip 600 leaders through this Regional Conference. It would cost $50-$60 to just print a material for one leader. Therefore, it would definitely save a ton of money if all the materials are put together in a laptop. In addition, the follow up materials may be sent via an internet link that enables them to download from it easily in future.

Therefore, please consider donating your old, unused laptop that is still working properly.  We will reformat every donated laptop and install them with all kinds of materials needed for the Regional Conference as well as software that will be very useful to them. Instead of taking up space in your closet, or even a landfill, your trusty old technology can be given new life while being used to make a difference in the lives of these African leaders.  And it’s a tax deductible gift-in-kind donation!

OLD UNUSED LAPTOP CONDITION:
Sorry, but we’ll only receive old unused Pentium based PC (or equivalent) laptop with Windows 95, 98, ME, NT4, 2000, XP, or Vista operating system (no Macintosh) complete with its charger/battery.

Itu adalah berkat!
