It has been very hard for most of my friends to understand what I am going through. A lot of them, even as Christ followers aren't able to grasp the idea that I am giving up all my ambitions, dreams and hopes for the sake of God's greater purpose and plan. No, it is not easy and there are some days where I would think to myself of how committing my life to Jesus Christ would turn out to be something like this. I can truly say that this is God's way to tell me that not only will He impact the lives of those I minister to, but even with those I speak/share with. For those reading, though your journey may be a lot different from mine, it does not mean that your "mission field" has less meaning. The only thing you need to remember whether you are at home/work/school, is that Christ is included, not excluded. Whatever you are doing, it is He-centered, not me-centered.
Philippians 3:7
But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ.
The first two letters of the word Gospel, is 'GO'. Are you considering it or obeying it?
Matthew 28:16-20
Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. There go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
"The Great Commission is not an option to be considered, but a command to be obeyed" --Hudson Taylor
I refuse to STOP singing because of many reasons. This video is quite straight forward and I hope that you may reconsider and begin to sing to the Lord if you haven't done so.
Psalm 96:1
Sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all the earth.
As I reflect on my current situation, it is a constant spiritual warfare. Not only does the battle begin when I get to Africa, but even during my preparation stages that I realize how much Satan will put doubts and fears in me.
Just like Peter in the Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe, there are times where there is so much at stake that I don't believe I can take on this battle. At the same time, not only do family and friends believe in me, but most of all, God says that I can and I will.
