FAITH TO JESUS, STATISTIC COUNTING BY NUMBER

According to Christian research data, today February 23rd, 2007 - 11 am, Christian world population number are 2,165,008,090 among total world population 6,530,537,809. Wow.... its fantastic numbers. Almost 33% of the whole world population is Christian.

Meanwhile, in Indonesia many Christian organizations claim almost 30% of the whole Indonesia population is Christian. Of course, the truth of this statistic is in doubt. If Indonesian Christian people are huge why Christian in this country is oppressed? Why so many churches are forced to be closed? Worse, why disasters come increasingly to this loving country?

Some says, according to the Bible we are blessed people, so where is the blessing to which we should bring & make this nation to be blessed too? Or maybe we are the cursed people? So God is so infuriated to our nation, Christian & non Christian. So what make difference we are being in Indonesia? (What make us difference in Indonesia?)

I believe if it's true 30% of Indonesia people are Christian and only 5% pray intensively, ask forgiveness to God for the sins of our nation. Great disasters will not happen repeatedly to this loving country.

Well, statistic. On this era people always rely on numbers. In revival we only see the people come forward (altar call) statistically. Or we only see the people fill in a card given by the committee. I wonder, how could be someone become Jesus follower just measured from how many people come for altar call?

International evangelist/preacher always shouts about their revival visitors. Actually, they want the people to become Jesus follower or to count how many people enter the stadium? Or how many people come for altar call?

We still remember when Benny Hinn came to Indonesia, there's a singer go up to the stage & claimed himself being cured of his cancer......and a few months later we heard that the singer went home to the Father in Heaven (RIP).

Jesus says," Many are invited, but few are chosen". Have we become the one who is chosen? Or we are the one counted from the unclear statistic?
