Over Zealous Evangelists 2

Modern Great Commission

We have turned the Great Commission into something like the following:

Go ye

(Well not the majority of you…, We need most of you to stay home and work, make money…, take care of the church and the pastor, have a nice house, life, spend time with your family—after all you shouldn’t sacrifice the family, and if you were meant to be a missionary you would have a desire to live in another country and not in America, the majority should give a little to missions through the Faith Promise program of our church, after all the home front needs workers too, and of course we can all pray—not that we will even read the letters or get to know the missionaries)

Into all the world and preach the gospel!

Well if we all go there won’t be anybody to support the missionaries

I really want to go, I am willing but….

Well we really are all missionaries whether it is across the street or across the sea. Lets all be a missionary.

The Heavenly Vision

Acts 26:19 Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision:

God had given Paul a heavenly vision. He had seen the Lord Jesus on the road to Damascus. There he had understood that he was to take the gospel to the world in his lifetime. He spent the rest of his life on a mission.

God has something for each of us to do. It will not be the same for every one of us. Some of us will go as missionaries, others will serve in full time ministry positions, but all of us are to serve God full time. It ought not to be a duty but a joy. It ought to be what we hunger for.

Have you ever looked at your own life and wondered how God made you to serve Him? There are in your heart right now desires to serve, honor, and glorify God. No, they will not be the same as many others but they are the desires that God has given you.

Will you be faithful to the heavenly vision that He has given you?
