Taat Pada Tuhan / Obidience to the Lord (English)

We could read in <Mark 1 : 40-45>, Lord Jesus' the miracle when He healed the leper

40 And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. 

41 And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean. 

42 And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed. 

43 And he straitly charged him, and forthwith sent him away; 

44 And saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man: but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them. 

45 But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter. 

This leper came to Jesus for healing, and Jesus is moved by compassion to heal him. Our Lord Jesus is the mighty healer

Let's us study this Word of God, and learn how we can move the Lord through His compassion

1. We ought to be Sincere and Clean Hearted

    A man who is Sincere and Clean Hearted is a man who kept the Truth which is  the  Word of God in his heart and mind

<Psalm 73:1> 

Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart

<Psalm 11:7> 

For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.

   

2. Fear of the Lord and stay away from Evil

<Psalm 31:20> 

A Blessed be the LORD: for he hath shewed me his marvellous kindness in a strong city

    

3. Have compassion to fellow Man

<Matthew 19:19b>  

. . .  hou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

<Matthew 22:39>

 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.. 

    

One more lesson we can pick from this passage, that is to be obidience to the Lord, without any additional human discretionary act.

Lord Jesus ask the healed leper to go, with a specific instructions, which are :

• Dont tell anyone (of this miracles act of the Lord).
• Show your self to the Priest.
• Offer the gift (offerings) as commanded by Moses.

The Leper did none of the instructed, he do all that is forbidden by the Lord. He publish and tell everyone, this act we may considered as a act of good witness, spreading the good news.

However this is not what the Lord have wanted, for the the time has not came.

Because of this act, The Lord can not openly enter the city, for many are looking or Him, and He stayed in dessert places.

When we are not obedience, this will make the the miracle of the lord become far from our life. 
And we're also making other can not experience the presence of the Lord Jesus.

Takut dan Kuatir / Fear and Worry (English)

When we not surrendering our life to God's Plan, we will have "dread" on our life.
As it is stated in 

<Deuteronomy28 : 47> Because thou servedst not the LORD thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things; 


<Deuteronomy28 : 66>And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have none assurance of thy life

Fear happened because of something .... there is/are object(s) to fear
However it is different with Worry / Dread  .....it does have any object to do with it.

Worry / Dread is  "wrestle with my thoughts" as mentioned in <Psalm 13:2>

If you elimiated the object of fear, thus your will be fearfull anymore.
on the contrary with Worry / Dread, since this is because of the heart, it will stay.

Worry / Dread will corrupt our heart. 
it is like the thorn busses that squeze us.
eventhough it will not instantly kill you, but it persitently will meet its purpose of destruction.

or at least it shall prevent you from reaching your maximum potential 
as writen in Matthew 13 : 22
"He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful."

Lord Jesus ordered us not to Worry / Dread, 
<Matthew 6:25>. Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? 


since Worry / Dread is useless Karena 
<Matthew 6:27> Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? 

So ....
Don't worry of anything .....
<Philippians 4:6> Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 

Give all your worries to the Lord  ....

<1 Peter 5:7> Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. 

For Lord Jesus is the Good Lamb

<John 10 : 11>  I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
