You hear, you think, you say, you do, you get!



(Angelina Kusuma)


If you can not respect yourself, how can you respect to others?
If you can not love yourself, how can you love to others?
If you can not obey your boss in the world, how can you obey God's command?
If you can not honor your father in the world, how can you honor to your Heavenly Father?
If you do not do what your said earlier, how can you get someone else to believe what you say?

What are you doing to others, affect to your relationship with God
What are you doing in the world, affects to your spirituality
The things that are visible, influential on the things that are not visible

You hear, you think, you say, you do, and then you get!

Life is beautiful because we do not know how to live



(Angelina Kusuma)


Many people say, that life would be beautiful if we know how to live
But if we know how to live, how about faith?
If we know all the things that will happen in our lives, how about God?

Life is not beautiful because we know how to live
But life is beautiful if we know how to use faith to persist in living
Life is beautiful because we do not know how to live, and God only knows, what and how the best way that we can live

Life has a mystery

The righteous one will live by faith (Galatians 3:11)
And life is Christ (Philippians 1:21)
Life is not about you...but about HIM

Grain, Wine, and Oil



(Angelina Kusuma)


Do not be afraid. This year, the Lord be with you and lavishes you with many blessings. The LORD will answer and say to His people, "Behold, I will send you grain and new wine and oil, And you will be satisfied by them; I will no longer make you a reproach among the nations (Joel 2:19). And wine that makes glad the heart of man, Oil to make his face shine, And bread which strengthens man's heart" (Psalm 104:15). Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go (Yosua 1:9).


Heirs of the Kingdom



(Angelina Kusuma)


My Father is the King above all kings
I'm heirs of His Kingdom
So, is there anything I can not do with my Father beside me?

Listen, my beloved brethren: Has God not chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which He promised to those who love Him? (James 2:5)

Prohibitions for an entrepreneur



(Angelina Kusuma)


Prohibitions for an entrepreneur:

- Thinking to get rich quickly
Want to get rich quickly, would drag you to the brink of bankruptcy faster than you think
- Stop learning
An entrepreneur must be often learn in everything, in order to get the best business opportunities for them. Stop learning will make your business does not grow
- Take the shortcut to make a profit
Same as thought as wants to get rich quickly, instant ways to seek benefits will bring you to the failure successfully
- Only calculate the risks
Consider the obstacles is good, but if your focus is always in bad things, you will be a loser. A true entrepreneur should have a positive thinking and desire to work high. If your spirit die, your business is gone. Think with the radical and crazy, and your creativity will come. Too much calculate the risks will make your passion for progress stopped
- Only dreaming
It's no good just wanted to be entrepreneurs but no action. Opportunity to open a business does not come only waiting, but pick up it directly. What do you want, do!

Although you did not have the best idea, not to be the first inventor, just have limited capital, and has many rivals, it was not a barrier to entrepreneurship. All you have to beat is not your rivals, but your self. What makes you limited is not also your capital, but your mind. Followers are not always bad. They can also succeed in bussiness as long as they could provide unique characteristic, which differentiate it from the original or the first one.

Are you change the world or you have changed by the world?



(Angelina Kusuma)


If you previously honest, and because of your colleagues and your environment, you're become a swindler. It's means you lose...You have changed by the world

If you previously diligent, and because of your colleagues and your environment, you're become lazy. It's means you lose...You have changed by the world

If you previously did not smoke, and because of your colleagues and your environment, you're become a smoker. It's means you lose...You have changed by the world

If you previously obey God, and because of your colleagues and your environment, you're become a rebel to God. It's means you lose...You have changed by the world

If you can make people more loving their self and their life, then you win...You're change the world

If you can make others smile bright and enthusiastic, then you win...You're change the world

If you can find a tool or a way to help ease the work of others, then you win...You're change the world

If previously you were a swindler, lazy, smoker, and rebel to God, and now you turn from your wrong way, it's means you win...You're change the world

Change does not always produce the best, but always produces something better

Are you change the world or you have changed by the world?




Money is Not Everything



(Angelina Kusuma)


Money can buy a house, but not a home
Money can buy a clock, but not time
Money can buy a bed, but not sleep
Money can buy a book, but not knowledge
Money can buy a position, but not respect
Money can buy medicine, but not health
Money can buy blood, but not life
Money can buy sex, but not love
Money can buy food, but not appetite
Money can buy insurance, but not safety
Money can buy entertainment, but not happiness

You see, money is not everything! It can't buy all that you want!!

Pure Faith or Pretend Faith



(Angelina Kusuma)


We're often ask to God,
"When I have a couple?"
"When I have child?
"When I got house and car?"
"When I have a leadership position in the company?"
"When I got the best job?"
"When I got the highest achievement in school?"
"When I can enjoy the holidays around the world?"
"When I become rich, famous, and successful?"

"When ...?"

"When ...?"

Have you ever stopped for a moment and allow God to ask you? "My child, when you bear fruit for Me?"

Can you answer Him, firmly now?

Let's learn from Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego and Habakkuk

Daniel 3:16-18, Shadrach, Meshach, and AbedNego answered and said to the king, "O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter. "If that is the case, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us from your hand, O king. "But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we do not serve your gods, nor will we worship the gold image which you have set up."

Habakkuk 3:17-18, Though the fig tree may not blossom, Nor fruit be on the vines; Though the labor of the olive may fail, And the fields yield no food; Though the flock may be cut off from the fold, And there be no herd in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.

If you really honor Him as God, you will always trust Him in all things, in good condition or bad, and not only requires your needs are always met by Him
