Belajar dari petani dan Ayub (FA Gabungan - 5/Agustus/2011)

Ps Daniel Arief - Belajar dari petani dan Ayub (FA Gabungan - 5/Agustus/2011)

Yakobus 5:7-11
Ada 2 Hujan dlm perikop ini
1. Hujan musim gugur dan
2. Hujan musim semi

Hujan musim gugur yg menghancurkan (merontokkan) keindahan daun yg hijau hingga menjadi gundul.

Rontok/krisis bisa dialami semua anak2 Tuhan, bisa saja kemapanan yang rontok, bisnis/usaha kita jg rontok, kesehatan dan keluarga yg rontok, bahkan mungkin banyak hal yg sdh rontok hingga semua gundul (seperti phonon pd musim gugur), kuncinya adalah "sabar jangan bersungut-sungut" (ay.8)

Dalam perikop diatas, Tuhan berkata "sabar" sebanyak 5x dan 2x berkata "bertekun",
- Bertekun spt Ayub (bandingkan dg krisis yg Ayub alami)
- Jangan komplain/bersungut2, spt Ayub tidak komplain kpd Tuhan walau krisis yg dia alami sampai "gundul" krn dia percaya kpd Tuhan.

Tidak ada yg tersisa dr hidup Ayub bahkan penghibur pun tidak:
Ayub 16:2 " Hal seperti itu telah acap kali kudengar. Penghibur sialan kamu semua!

Ada 3 hal kunci utama, Mengapa Ayub bisa bertahan menghadapi krisis:
1. Siap dg resiko kehidupan (Percaya Kepada Dia) - Ayub 13:15
Pengkotbah 3:1-10, segala sesuatu ada waktunya, ada waktu llahir dan mati, menanam dan mencabut, dll....

2. Penebusku Hidup dan akan melihat Allah - Ayub 19:25-26
25 Tetapi aku tahu: Penebusku hidup, dan akhirnya Ia akan bangkit di atas debu.
26 Juga sesudah kulit tubuhku sangat rusak, tanpa dagingkupun aku akan melihat Allah,

Ayub, walau pada jaman dia hidup blm ada alkitab blm ada gereja, tdk ada penghibur/ tanpa orang yg perduli tapi dia punya iman yg kuat dan berkata 'Penebusku Hidup dan walau tinggal tengkorak dia percaya akan bertemu Allah" bukan main!

3. Tahu apa yg akan dialami stlh krisis
Ayub 23:10 Karena Ia tahu jalan hidupku; seandainya Ia menguji aku, aku akan timbul seperti emas.

Krisis bisa dipakai TUHAN sbg ujian bagi hidup kita jangan ditengking!
Karena apabila kita lulus hadapi ujian/krisis kita akan muncul spt emas murni yg keluar dari proses dapur api atau penyucian.

Mazmur 89:7 ( 89- 8 ) Allah disegani dalam kalangan orang- orang kudus, dan sangat ditakuti melebihi semua yang ada di sekeliling- Nya.
8 ( 89- 9 ) Ya TUHAN, Allah semesta alam, siapakah seperti Engkau? Engkau kuat, ya TUHAN, dan kesetiaan- Mu ada di sekeliling- Mu.

"Kesetiaan" adalah trade mark Tuhan
Dari sudut manapun Tuhan ttp Allah yg SETIA.

Bersama DIA kita akan memasuki Hujan musim semi sesuai dg rencana-NYA.

Tuhan Yesus memberkati
Best Regards,
Bambang

Now more than ever before we need to press into hearing what the Spirit of the Lord is saying today. We need to know Him. This manual will help you in your journey of intimacy with the Lord and bring you to greater understanding of the commands in Scripture to encourage one another. I often will say as I instruct ones in the prophetic that all of the gifts of the Spirit flow through the prophetic. Being a prophetic person is one who is able to hear from God. We all hear from God to a certain extent. The sons of Issachar had understanding of the times and they knew what to do. Having understanding of the times is equal to having words of wisdom, words of knowledge, and discernment flowing through you. If we can hear God's voice then we can hear words of wisdom. If we can hear God's voice then we can hear words of knowledge. If we can hear God's voice we can have discernment. If we can hear God's voice we can have faith to declare those things that are not as though they are. If we can hear God's voice then all of the Gifts of the Spirit will flow through us. More than ever before we need to understand that in the last days, as prophesied by Joel and repeated by Peter, there will be widespread revelations from God. We will not receive revelations from God if we do not hear His voice. God speaks in a variety of ways. The most basic avenues God speaks to us are through the Bible, prayer, people, nature, dreams, and an inner sense of knowing something. Certainly and most definitely we have entered such an occasion. God is speaking today. It behooves all believers to embark on this most exciting journey of learning to hear God?s voice in as many possible ways as God is speaking.
