a missional prayer

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where
there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is
sadness, joy.

St. Francis of Assisi

THE MISSION AND THE JOURNEY

















Thursday, April 1, 2010

You know what kind of men we proved to be among you.. 1 Thess 1:5

The life of Paul, Silas and Timothy exemplified the type of men we are to follow, if we are going to make any positive impact in the Body of Christ. It is true that we have many men and woman today God is using mightily in order to bring about great advancements in kingdom work. Find them, see what makes them tick, and follow them.

In Thesssalonica, Christians everywhere were compelled to preach the gospel because these three guys had lives sold out for Jesus Christ. The result was that this infection spread so fast it nearly became impenetrable. The world could stop this Jesus who was the Christ, nor even His servants for that matter.

We understand that it is the Holy Spirit's job alone to energize the fruit production in the life of a believer, but God uses the faithful witness of His chosen vessels to help aid in His divine purpose in the lives of fellow regenerates.

Everyone influences someone.The question you need to ask yourself is, whom am I influencing, and what are they doing because of my influence?

This is a good standard for measuring your own productivity.
