Time Must Be Valued

Some do not value time so much as they are more talent and treasure oriented. Treasure can be regained, talent can found and enhanced while no one can repeat time or expand it.

God has given us talent and treasures and He did not forgot to give us time. A time for everything, He had set everything in His time.

Let us value our time by giving a portion of it to the Lord or give full of it to Him.

Shekhinah Ester Loves to Dance

I together with my wife Charmae are so blessed to have Shekhinah Ester ("Twinkle") as our daughter. She was just three years old but can now sing, dance and even preach! I can't remember when did we train her to do these things.

Indeed she is a blessing to us! She always makes her grandparents paint a smile on their faces. Everyone always wanted to hear her very awesome songs too! I'm looking forward to let her give a song number before sharing God's Word to our brothers and sisters in Christ.

This video tells a bit of her. She is doing an interpretative dance for the song "Cry Holy". Just take a look on how she interprets each line of the song, no one told her that she should act this way or that way! Glory be to God for the life of Shekhinah Ester and for the people that was touched by her life.


We'll share some of our experiences with God together with our beautiful daughter Shekhinah. Stay tuned and God bless!

The Requirements to Enter the Kingdom of Heaven


Going to church and knowing God is not a guarantee that you can enter Heaven after death. In Matthew 7:21 the word of the Lord said, "Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven." Then knowing God and calling Him Lord is not enough but it requires us to do the will of God(Father who is in heaven). We shall then ask what is the will of the Father?




I. Become like Little Children -
Matthew 18:3 "And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven."

What is in a child that we need to be transformed and change like them? Basically, little children are happy and is always playing right? Sometime they fight with each other for toys and games they played but few moments later they're friends again. They always forgive those who hurts them. And they forget the past fight and live as friends beyond. If fighting happens to older men and women possible it would not end the way a fighting ends on  little children.


II. Be Born Again -
John 3:3 "Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.”

To make things clear in here, Born Again is not a religionAs I can say that there's no religion stated in the bible that God wants us to become instead in Bible Jesus Christ himself stated "be born again". On John chapter 3 there a man named Nicodemus who asked Jesus how to be born again. Jesus answered in John 3:5-7 " 5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. 6 Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. 7 You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You must be born again.’" Thus being a born again is living a new life and is being reborn through water and Spirit in baptism. Take note: no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again, and no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and Spirit.

III. Doing the Will of God
Matthew 3:13-17 in Amplified Version "13Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John to be baptized by him.
    14But John protested strenuously, having in mind to prevent Him, saying, It is I who have need to be baptized by You, and do You come to me?
    15But Jesus replied to him, Permit it just now; for this is the fitting way for [both of] us to fulfill all righteousness [that is, to perform completely whatever is right]. Then he permitted Him.
    16And when Jesus was baptized, He went up at once out of the water; and behold, the heavens were opened, and he [John] saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on Him.
    17And behold, a voice from heaven said, This is My Son, My Beloved, in Whom I delight!" 

Baptism is doing the right thing before God and with it He will surely be delighted. In the past we don't know this law according to Acts 17:30 "In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent." But now that we know this law or command then we are accountable for it. As you can see on Matthew 3:13-17 it states about Jesus being baptized in water and after that is He's been baptized by the Holy Spirit when the Spirit of God descended from Heaven.

These are the steps of baptism first is Repent, be baptized (through water) in the name of Jesus Christ and then you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit according to Acts 2:38 "Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." Then surely you cannot say that the Holy Spirit is absent this days since if there is no Holy Spirit today then all of us will never enter the kingdom of God for the bible says, "no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born in water and in Spirit". Both baptism are highly needed.


Jesus Christ is the baptizer of the Holy Spirit, as stated on Matthew 3:11 where John the baptist says, “I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me comes one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire." of which he is talking about Jesus Christ. And in baptism we can be called as Children of God (Matthew 3:16-17) since accepting and receiving Him can only give us a right to become a child of God. You cannot be suitable for baptism if you won't receive Jesus Christ as stated in John 1:12 "Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— " receiving Him can give us a right to become a children of God. That means we need to know and accept Jesus first. In Revelation 3:20 the Lord said, " Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me." and He is still knocking at the door of your heart right now.

If you want to receive Jesus Christ now you can receive Him through prayer and faith. You can talk to him and tell Him you are opening your heart for Him. I have a prayer which is a guide for you to talk to Jesus, you can use this prayer in accepting Him today:

Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner since the day I was born until now. I'm sorry Lord for doing so. I open my heart today and accept You Jesus as my King, Lord and Savior. Come into my heart and life, rule over me and let Your will be done in me as I am Yours. Give me thirstiness and hungriness in Your holy words so I may read, listen and follow what it says. Thank you for coming into my life. Be my guide, friend, Father, King, Lord, Savior and everything to me in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

If you said this prayer and wholeheartedly accepts Jesus today, congratulations! You have now the right to become a children of God! Then you can follow these three steps to enter heaven one by one.
