AOT 3: Advancing with the Gospel

How do we live a life that Glorifies God?

Gate 2: Fish Gate – Soul Winning
Romans 10:14 Romans 15 : 20 Luke 24:44-47

Isn’t it just right that if you all your life have lived in darkness and some kind hands brought you to the Healer, you were healed for free and you now can see, that you would go around to take other blind to Him so they may also receive sight? But this is not just right but actually this is the Plan of the Ages!

                    44 He said to them, “This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms.”
                         45 Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. 46 He told them, “This is what is written: The Messiah will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, 47 and repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
                                                                   Luke 24:44-47

God’s plan from the very beginning has been that those who are blessed should then become a blessing to other nations – to all nations. (Genesis 12:1-3). God called us to bring the good news of the Kingdom of God to the world so they may all know and worship Him. The command of the Lord has never changed. Every disciple of the lord Jesus Christ must take seriously the command of the Lord to go and preach the Gospel to every part of the world – to every people group and making them His disciples. Whatever our situation in life is – we be rich or poor – we need to fulfill this privilege and responsibility we have received.

We are blessed to become a blessing. I have understood more that the Lord did not only save me so that may join Him in heaven one day but that I may be a herald of the Gospel to those who have not heard. God has placed a burden in my heart to reach all nations. That may look too great of desire, but like what William Carey said, “Expect great things from God.Attempt great things for God."

This task is not impossible. This is finish-able!

Thank you to the many people who pray and support me as I am in this training. Most of all, I thank the Lord God for helping me understand His great purpose.
