Ministry Calling


ATS Theological Forum
“The time that will be given to His vineyard will never be wasted for every hard work is not vain.” These are the powerful words that pushed my spirit to embrace the ministry at the very young age. This thought reminds me that God loves seeing His children serving him. Although we cannot add nor take anything that cause Him to love us more, not even how little the time we can offer, because He loves us constantly and this will never change. However, it would still be more meaningful if we serve and obey.

New Testament Class 
After graduation, God led me to work in a Christian NGO. I applied there as a Telephone Counselor. Fortunately, I was hired, inside the counseling center I have worked with excellent colleagues. This job actually confirmed my calling to pursue any counseling profession at the near future. After I handled several counseling cases for the past three years of experience, I have realized that counseling is a good way to remind oneself that the more we confront the problem, using the light of His word, the stronger and wiser we became. Prior to this, I also became a peer counselor in our university and sometimes I also handled counseling sessions with people in our church. It made me think that this humble task is not just another area of ministry, but also if this gift is fully dedicated and offered to God it will be certainly a platform to showcase His glory.

Presently, I am involved in the Family Ministry, where I am working hand in hand with our Pastors to organize simple talks or seminars that would strengthen the relationship and communication among family members. I also serve as one of the assistants in Church Administration Department where I can help the team to oversee events, gatherings, and even other discipleship tasks. Last 2012, I received a calling to take this counseling ministry into a higher and greater circle. Then I was sent for a short-term missions in Thailand, as I beginning to see a real hunger in the hearts of the people of Hindu Nations. I believe that at this season the Lord is calling me to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ to the young people in Asia. I sensed nowadays the need for spiritual mentors among these new set of young people. I see the tenacity in their heart and this motivates me to venture this new ministerial task. I know that counseling will do a great help for certain life issues and a platform to proclaim Jesus to a weary heart.
Christian Counseling Class 

 The plan and desire to further this Counseling profession was developed by time and inspired by God and those people who became an instrument for me to focus on this craft. The joy overflows whenever I am practicing this field of ministry, I prayed and asked God for His continuous revelation. Thus, enrolling at Asian Theological Seminary is truly a confirmation of my calling. A room for improvement is all I need, by faith and God’s intervention, yes, it is I who chose, but certainly it is God who can only approve.

Currently, I don’t yet have plans to go out and leave my country until I finish the tasks in which the Lord requires of me. Having said this truth, I will definitely stick on this idea. But for now, I will make this nation my best priority with this God given ability. The desire to serve was strengthened by the revelation to seek the lost and usher them back to Christ. 

My Victory Group
My calling is to serve and follow the word of God in my life. I am sure that I can make all the tasks which God has entrusted me, and as far as where He leads, as long as I depend on His strength. The passion for souls gave me so much encouragement to be more serious in everything I do. I will continue to help my local church because it is a pleasure to serve and help the people who prayed and hoped with me in this endeavor. The plan to share all the knowledge and experience I gained in this study is always an active priority. With all honesty, I resolved to dedicate my time and skills to the place where God has planted and nurture me. Moreover I will always be thankful that God has blessed me far beyond what I could ever deserved by allowing me to study and enhance the gift he has given me. Therefore, I always pray that he will also accomplish through me far beyond  what I could ever achieved, as one of the best Counselors I could ever be in the place where God has called me.

Love Not Nails

Sea of Galilee O pinions on fake news is getting worse, misinformation in social media rapidly circulates.  People are excessively concern of themselves and malicious comments are trending online. I've sensed so much hate, I've heard a lot of demands. This brought me to pause and dropped my phone and shut it off. I'm done praying when I grabbed my Bible to read.  The Holy Spirit took me to 1 Corinthians 13:4-13 and it recites the verses of love. I can always read this passage again and again because the word love is so rich and true. Words can't express enough, totally powerful, ineffable. He illuminates verse 7, "Love never gives up, and its faith, hope and patience never fail." Love perfectly describes as eternal. Spurgeon once preached, "God is a sun that never sets." Indeed, the picture of the Cross is the best demonstration of love and truth, because it is love, not nails, what held Jesus on that cross and His love surpassed death because it doe...

Ready or Not?

Perhaps you're wanting to start a new ministry, perhaps you're wanting to apply to another job or perhaps you wanted to get serious with someone you really like. Whatever it may be, there are seasons that God may tell us we are not ready but then later on, He will let us know when we are ready. These are my common realizations in the waiting as I traced God's way of telling me or encouraging me to do something new or start stepping into the unfamiliar place. If you're one of my closest, you know that I'm the type of person who won't do something if I know I'm not ready, or I didn't prepare myself for it. That's why I think carefully before writing this piece, because we have different personalities, levels of spiritual discernment, and of course God can speak to us in various ways. These realizations I share are based on my own experience, discernment, and meditation of The Word in connection of some events in the past where I strongly sensed God tel...

(Yhwh) our God Cannot Lie

Trying to take my mind off any racing thoughts. But it doesn't work, still wide awake. I realized it's already midnight, so I tend to pray again a little, return to bed. Staring at the dark ceiling, toss and turn, then noticed it's been already an hour since I last checked the time.       Thinking of something deep, seeking God for clear answers about matters of heart.  Asking him like, "really Lord, you said yes, and this is for real?.... But why it seemed I don't see any signs?", "Did I heard you right ?"  or "Am I only getting impatient?..." Then it is even getting harder to catch a sleep.  There are times that I sincerely prayed for something, committing all my strength to wait on it, believing  that I heard the Lord clearly with the confirmation of the Scripture. But there were days that doubts start rising, and not always in the mood to praise. Times when all of the sudden, I simply want to stop and tell God, " did ...
