My Name is Soegianto

This material is prepared for PMKA UI , I was invited to share about Life Management. Talking about life management, it reminds me on one broadcast show in television about financial planning. The show told us a story of a young man who involved in credit card debt which lead him to destruction because of his night lifestyle and consumerism and how he found a way out of the crisis which lead him to recovery in his family and in his financial. I am wondering if that guy has just met God? for sure it didn’t since this is not a religion program, it’s a financial planning program who show how they can save other life or family through financial planning.

The bible also said, “… if you are untrustworthy about worldly wealth, who will trust you with the true riches of heaven?”. In my preparation,  At least I find there are 4 reasons, why Life Management is important! bear with me, I want to  share the reasons why. Life Management is important…. (continue reading…)

Recently I do enjoy a devotion broadcast by my shepherd, which I think it’s too abundant to be kept for myself.

Have a read!

Deuteronomy 1:1,2

“The Israelites spent 40 years on a journey that should have lasted 11 days.
It wasn’t distance that stood between them and the promised land. It was the condition of their hearts.

God’s purpose went deeper than simply transporting a huge group of people to a new land. He was preparing them to live in obedience to Him once they arrived.
What good was the promised land if the Israelites were just as wicked as the nations already living there?

The journey was a painful but necessary part of their preparation.
Through it God taught the Israelites who He was: The Living God, the Leader of their nation.
He also taught them who they were:
People who were fallen, sinful, prone to rebellion & doubt.
He gave His rebellious people the law to help them understand to relate to God and to other people.

Your spiritual pilgrimage may be lengthy, and you may face pain, discouragement, and difficulties.
But remember that God isn’t just trying to keep you alive.

He wants to prepare you to live for service and devotion to Him.”

Numbers 20:1-5

“It had been 37 years since Israel’s first spy mission into the promised land & 40 years since the exodus from Egypt. The Bible is virtually silent about those 37 years of aimless wandering. The generation of those who had lived in Egypt had almost died off, and the new generation would soon be ready to enter the land.

After 37 years in the desert, the Israelites forgot that their wanderings were a result of their parents’ & their own sin.
They could not accept the fact that they brought their problems upon themselves, so they blamed Moses for their condition.

Often our troubles result from our own disobedience or lack of faith. We cannot blame God for our sins.

Until we face this reality, we will have little peace & no spiritual growth.”
