A Marriage of Vision
Dear Partner,
Let me share with you what I believe God’s plan for us as a ministry is. It’s to create a global citadel of creative evangelism reaching far into the deepest parts of the earth. And every day, we are working progressively to bring that culture of heaven to this world. Redemption wasn’t meant for a bunch of every-Sunday saints alone. It is for the whole world and it’s sad that many Christians act like they are doing God a favour by preaching the gospel.
Jesus said: All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore 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.
Jesus sees beyond our religious activities and desires that we take His redemptive power and love to the people who are perishing.
That’s what I called a marriage of vision - aligning our heavenly goals with Christ’s earthly goals. When we become one with Jesus and we begin to grow in our walk with Him, we will begin to discover just how dissatisfied He is with our attitude towards His simple parting wish: Tell the world about me.
This month, don’t get caught up in the usual corporate workflow. See the world through the eyes of Christ and see how sad He is about sinners plunging into hell on a daily basis.
Marry your vision with Christ’s. You’ll be shocked at what you’ll see.
God bless you and thank you for your constant feedback. It means a lot to us.
Have an excellent month.

Nicely written and this speaks the heart of the father. The harvest is not only ripe but is almost at the point of getting rotten and the harvest is not within the four-corners of the walls we call church but the harvest is outside church buildings.
The heart of the father bleeds when a soul perishes and goes to hell and it is our mandates as Christians (remember that being a Christian is being Christ-like and the lifestyle of our Lord and Saviour was winning souls for the kingdom of his daddy and setting the captives free) to go into the world and reach out to lost souls. We (Christians) are the LIGHT of this world and the SALT in this earth. What use is salt if it has lost its flavor and how possible is it for LIGHT and DARKNESS to be in the same place at the same time (unless I am mistaken, darkness is the absence of LIGHT so if there is darkness around us, then our light is hidden on a bushel)?
Let our Light shine brightly for people in darkness to see and run to the true light and let us not forget that Christianity is not a religion but a LIFESTYLE and the underlying foundation of our Christian lifestyle is LOVE. Just a little food for thought.
Thank you for sharing and my heart connected with this write-up.

hmmmmmmmmm………It’s not like I’ve not heard this before, but it’s like (actually, it is) I have a new understanding of the issue concerned. May the Lord continually increase you.
