From the desk of National President

Salam jumpa di Newsletter ICCC edisi bulan April

Para anggota, pemerhati, dan pembaca Newsletter ICCC

yang budiman, saat saya menulis kata pengantar ini di

hari Minggu yang cerah dan sunyi dengan diiringi lagu-

lagu pujian dari stasiun radio favorit saya dan dengung

AC, saya teringat bahwa kita juga akan segera

memperingati wafat Yesus Kristus dan kemudian Paskah

pada hari Minggu yad sebagai tanda sukacita atas kebangkitan-Nya yang

mengalahkan maut.

Mungkin ini juga saat yang baik untuk kita merenungkan kembali apakah kita

juga sudah cukup berani berkorban demi kasih terhadap sesama kita seperti

Allah Bapa yang telah mengasihi kita, khususnya kepada mereka yang kita

cintai, dan meletakkan pengharapan kita atas segala tantangan yang

menghadang kita selama ini di bawah salib Yesus Kristus karena kita juga

percaya bahwa kebangkitan dan kemenangan juga akan hadir bagi mereka yang

percaya kepada-Nya.

ICCC Bali 2015 Gathering

How to Invest

Money

According to

the Bible

The Bible offers us direction in almost every

facet of life, from raising children to treating

other people with dignity. But what if the Bible

also taught us a code for investing our money

safely and ethically? What if those teachings

had helped thousands of people amass

wealth in a way that Jesus would respect?

The truth is that you can invest money

according to God's will as is written in the

bible. And you can succeed doing so.

1 Recognize God's will.

Recognize that God wants to make you rich

(3 John 2, Proverbs 10:22).

Recognize that Jesus died to make you rich

(2 Corinthians 8:9).

Recognize that God will supply your needs

(Philippians 4:19).

2 Recognize that the number one way to

prosperity is that God will lead you so that

you must follow your conscience

(Proverbs 4:23, Romans 8:14-17,

Deuteronomy 28:1-2, Genesis 12:4 and

Genesis 13:2). You have fantastic talents

and abilities, and God can show you exactly

what you must do. You might be laid off but

get a raise in your new job. On these

occasions God's Spirit gives a witness in your

spirit on what career to pursue -- and you can

prosper by following your conscience (and

leadership of the Holy Spirit). In the times that

you have such a witness, get alone and pray

seriously each day, for several days before,

to be sure that God was witnessing to your

conscience. Notice that Abraham obeyed the

leading of God in Genesis 12:4. Proverbs

Page 7: ICCC NEWSLETTER APRIL 2015

Page 7

4:23, "Above all things keep your heart [listen

to the "small still voice" within you] for out of it

are the issues of life." Read Galatians 3:13-

14 and Romans 8:16-17.

3 Be a specialist in your career: Manage the

money you make and learn theinvestment

cycles. Now for the three types of money in

the Bible and the three secrets to prosperity:

after Abraham followed God (Genesis 12:4),

God prospered Abraham in Genesis 13:2 with

cattle (his career), silver (the money he

made) and gold (investments).

The cattle represents your career and notice

that this comes first in The Bible. The secret

to your career is to become a specialist.

Proverbs 13:15 says that "good

understanding gives favor". You must get

your college degree and stick with the same

career to become a specialist. Proverbs 12:8

says that a man shall be commended for his

prudence, not for his hard work. You must

learn to "work smarter, not just harder."

Notice that in Proverbs 24:27, God wants you

to establish your career before you get

married. 54% of the divorce in America is

over lack of money. Deuteronomy 8:18, "But

remember the Lord your God, for it is he who

gives you the ability to produce wealth, and

so confirms his covenant, which he swore to

your ancestors, as it is today."

The silver represents managing the money

you make and the Bible secret is to live on a

budget. Proverbs 21:17 says that "he who

loves pleasure will be poor". You must

balance your bills with your income. Also use

credit wisely because proverbs 22:7 says that

"the borrower is slave to the lender".

Next is the gold and this represents an

investment. The Bible has a lot to say about

investment cycles. Forty years in the Bible is

considered to be a generation. Every 40

years a terrible recession hits America and

home prices collapse as in the 1890's,

1930's, 1970's and 2010's. These collapses

are all caused by the government lowering

interest rates, causing cheap money, easy

loans and a housing bubble. We see this in

Genesis 41 where Joseph told Pharaoh that

they would have 7 lean years. The 7 lean

years, called the "winter recession" in the

Bible, happens every 40 years in America.

There is another type of recession in the

Bible, such as when the government is

aggressively lowering interest rates, or

recessions that are mild like the "aerospace

recession" and the "dot com bubble". Once

again there are other influences in the Bible --

for Elijah prayed, and it did not rain for 3.5

years.

4

Associate with people that inspire you and

teach you to prosper (Proverbs 13:20). It is

important to note that Lot who traveled with

Abraham also prospered in his career due to

the law of association. Lot did not manage

the money he made; all of his workers were

drunk and fought with Abraham's men, and

the two had to go different paths. Lot lost

everything in Genesis 19 because Lot did not

learn to follow his conscience, be a specialist,

manage the money he made nor learn

investment cycles. This goes to show that

you can be blessed by the law of association

but unless one matures spiritually, one will

always be driven with circumstances

Page 8: ICCC NEWSLETTER APRIL 2015

Page 8

(Abraham ignored circumstances Romans

4:19).

5 Major verses that show economic and

housing cycles in the Bible are Genesis

41, Proverbs 22:2-3, Ecclesiastes 3:2,6

and the Early Church that sold their

homes before a huge recession under

Claudius Caesar.

Proverbs 22:2-3,

"Rich and poor have this in common:

The Lord is the Maker of them all.

The prudent see danger and take refuge,

but the simple keep going and pay the

penalty".

Ecclesiastes 3:1,3,6,

"There is a time for everything,

and a season for every activity under the

heavens:

a time to be born and a time to die,

a time to plant and a time to uproot,

a time to search and a time to give up,

a time to keep and a time to throw away".

Besides the economic cycles, the Bible also

talks about housing as being theinheritance

of fathers in Proverbs 19:14. One could apply

the 7 years up and 7 years down economic

cycle in Genesis 41 to real estate (8 is

completion) and find out that real estate was

8 years up from 82 to 90, 8 years depressed

from 90 to 98 and 8 years up from 98 to

2006. Bingo, when foreclosures rose in 2006

one might have sold a home at the top and

have been waiting until approximately

(2006+8=2014) to get back in.

By the way in 2014, the last of the foreclosed

homes that wouldn't sell may be almost given

away by the banks with $1,000 down. At the

end of the last cycle in 1997-98, that is what

the banks did to get rid of the homes that

wouldn't sell.

Another suggestion, when at the 40 year

recession, the real estate depression tends to

last another 2 years so be sure to buy a

home before 2016 (2006 + 8 + 2 = 2016).

From 2016 onward, home prices may soar.

2010-2019 might be an entire decade of

recession, this happens every 40 years. Real

estate might be depressed the first half of the

decade 2010-2015, but Soar the second half.

The reason that the economy will struggle

even after the construction recovers is that

the government will raise interest rates (to

slow the inflation in housing prices), but

airlines, auto manufacturers and retail will be

struggling with higher interest/and debt

payments. That would be if it is a repeat of

the 1970's (remember major cycle are

generational change conjectured to be 40

years: 1850's, 1890's, 1930's, 1970's, 2010's,

and the 2050's).

6 Review: The three types of money in

Abraham's life was the cattle, the silver and

the gold. They represent your career,

managing the money you make including

investments. The ideals are to become a

specialist in your career, live on a budget

(plan) and investment cycles.

International Christian Chamber of Commerce (ICCC) lahir dari kepatuhan terhadap visi yang diberikan selama kurun waktu enam tahun kepada seorang usahawan Swedia J. Gunnar Olson, yang diteguhkan dengan nubuatan dan terbukanya pintu kesempatan disekitarnya yang sebelumnya tertutup. ICCC merupakan panggilan yang serius dan menantang bagi pengusaha Kristen untuk mengenali jaman yang sedang kita masuki dan dengan terang dari pengenalan itu memasuki dimensi iman yang baru yang disediakan bagi mereka yang …” takut akan TUHAN … berbicara satu sama lain … dan menghormati namaNya.” (Maleakhi 3: 16) Visi ini memanggil para pengusaha dan kaum profesi di seluruh dunia yang terbeban untuk saling berhubungan, bertukar pendapat, memperdagang-kan barang dan menyediakan jasa, saling mendukung dan menguatkan secara rohani dan materi. Berdasarkan eksistensi dari visi itu sendiri memproklamirkan otoritas Kristus yang mutlak diseluruh dunia. Pada intinya ICCC adalah kehendak TUHAN untuk memperluas tali kasih-Nya, melalui gereja-Nya, didalam dunia usaha. Hal ini menuntut para pelaku bisnis mencari terlebih dahulu Kerajaan-Nya dan segala Kebenaran-Nya. Urapan tersedia bagi mereka yang dengan mata melihat dan telinga mendengar panggilan jaman. Sebagaimana halnya Raja Daud yang menerima urapan untuk menjadi raja, jauh sebelum dia menjadi Raja, yang keadaan pada saat urapan diberikan sama sekali tidak mungkin bagi Daud untuk menjadi Raja, demikianlah ICCC memanggil para pengusaha Kristen sebelum peristiwanya terjadi untuk mengalami kebebasan masuk ke dalam dimensi baru, dimana sasaran, strategi dan perencanaan bersama-sma diwujud-nyatakan sesuai dengan iman di dalam Kristus. ICCC mencanangkan panggilan itu sejalan dengan rencana TUHAN bagi jaman ini sebagai kunci memperoleh berkat dan pertumbuhan dan agar dapat bangkit berkemenangan diatas gelombang ombak yang mengancam. Panggilan ICCC: “Mereka akan menjadi milik

kesayanganKu sendiri, firman TUHAN semesta Alam pada

hari yang Kusiapkan. Aku akan mengasihi mereka sama

seperti seseorang menyayangi anaknya yang melayani dia.

Maka kamu akan melihat kembali perbedaan antara orang

benar dan orang fasik, antara orang yang beribadah

kepada TUHAN dan orang yang tidak beribadah kepada-

Nya.” (Maleakhi 3: 17-18)

KEYAKINAN IMAN ICCC:

Satu-satunya TUHAN pencipta segala sesuatu dalam kesatuan Trinitas: Bapa, Anak, dan Roh

Kudus.

Keilahian TUHAN Yesus Kristus. Kelahiran-Nya

dari rahim seorang Perawan. Karya penebusan

dosa manusia melalui kematian-Nya diatas kayu

salib. Kebangkitan-Nya. Hak otoriatas diri-Nya atas dunia dan Kedatangan-Nya yang kedua kali

dalam Kuasa dan Kemuliaan-Nya.

Alkitab, sepenuhnya sebagai Firman TUHAN yang

mem8berikan inspirasi dan berbagai peraturan

bagi kehidupan yang dilandasi iman.

Keselamatan pribadi orang berdosa dan

kebutuhannya untuk mengalami proses regenerasi melalui8 karya Roh Kudus dalam

menuju menjadikannya sebagai manusia yang

dikehendaki oleh TUHAN, seutuhnya.

Trustworthy - able to be relied on as honest,

truthful, or reliable1; dependable, secure, tried

and true.2

“But you should select from all the people

able men, God-fearing, trustworthy, and

hating bribes. Place them over the people as

commanders of thousands, hundreds, fifties,

and tens.” (Exodus 18:21)

“You must not be unfair in measurements of

length, weight, or volume. You are to have

honest balances, honest weights, an honest

dry measure, and an honest liquid measure; I

am Yahweh your God, who brought you out

of the land of Egypt.” (Leviticus 19:35–36)

“The instruction of the LORD is perfect,

renewing one's life; the testimony of the

LORD is trustworthy, making the

inexperienced wise.” (Psalm 19:7)

“The works of His hands are truth and justice;

all His instructions are trustworthy.” (Psalm

111:7)

“A gossip goes around revealing a secret, but

a trustworthy person keeps a confidence.”

(Proverbs 11:13)

“Many a man proclaims his own loyalty, but

who can find a trustworthy man?” (Proverbs

20:6)

“Moreover, it is required of stewards that they

be found trustworthy.” (1 Corinthians 4:2)

A little boy walked down the beach, and as he

did, he spied a matronly woman sitting under

a beach umbrella on the sand. He walked up

to her and asked, “Are you a Christian.”

“Yes.” “Do you read your Bible every day?”

She nodded her head, “Yes.” “Do you pray

often?” the boy asked next, and again she

answered, “Yes." With that he asked his final

question, “Will you hold my quarter while I go

swimming?”3

“People will trust a person who has a

reputation of being honest, reliable and

responsible. Dishonesty can easily tarnish

that reputation, such that others consider you

untrustworthy... Being considered trustworthy

provides benefits from the way people deal

with you, as well as your own self-esteem. If

you are caught lying or deceiving people,

they will consider you an untrustworthy

character. It is then very easy for that bad

reputation to spread. Once others consider a

person as untrustworthy, they will tend to be

cautious in dealing with that person or may

Page 11: ICCC NEWSLETTER APRIL 2015

avoid him or her all together. People like to

deal with those they can trust. You like to

shop at a store where you know that the

owner or sales clerk will deal with you

honestly. Supervisors like to have workers

they know will be reliable and show up on

time each day. They also like workers who

they can trust to take responsibility.”4

Discussion Questions:

1. Does your life demonstrate that you count

God's Word to be wholly trustworthy? If so,

prove it!

2. Would your clients testify in court that you

are trustworthy in all your business

dealings? Ask them!

3. What do you need to work on most in

becoming more trustworthy in word and in

deed?
