fr MY's exhortational email:
Today as I made my way to campus, I was actually feeling mundane and dragging my feet when God reminded me of this vision He gave to me, and the reality of that 6000 un-reached campuses loomed at the back of my mind again. It made me realized that everything I do in __ counts and matters, even the most mundane things, and "normal" things like DG, because I must have faith in God that what I do here will contribute to a movement in ____that will somehow reach the 6000 out there!
I pray that this will drive us to our knees to ask of the Lord for the nations, starting with our own campus! Let's also pray that we will not only be concern with small things like how many people come for our LM etc, and for our students if they do well for their exams but pray that God will help them be a different "breed" of students, who will be a powerful force for His kingdom on your campuses. Please pray because warfare is real.
I know something is going to happen because God is working
from The Biblical Guide to Alternative Medicine by Dr Neil Anderson & Dr Michael Jacobsen, p87:
Gucci, Rolex, Stradivarius – just the mention of these names and one thinks of quality. These brands represent the best in their fields, and their products are so expensive that only the wealthy can afford them. And since ownership communicates a message of prosperity, many people in the world desire to own these products. The problem is that the price is so high that most will not pay it. As a result, there exists a black market of brand-name look-alikes. While these illegal products look like the genuine articles, they are not. Even so, they derive their value from the real thing by how closely their appearance mimics that of the brand-name product.
So it is in the spiritual realm… The Scriptures teach us that there is but one God; all other would-be gods are imposters. The Bible also teaches us that we were designed by God to worship Him and to have a personal relationship with Him. Since we are incomplete without Christ, and were never designed to live independently of God, we have this spiritual vacuum inside, an inner longing to be complete. Only in Christ are we made complete. (Col 1:28, 2:10). Many have never had the opportunity to meet God (the genuine article). Others have been introduced to Him, but they have decided that the price of such a relationship with Him is too high (humbling oneself, acknowledging His sovereignty, confessing and forsaking sin). They prefer to live independently of God and not give up control of their own lives and destinies. Thus, a black-market spiritual realm appeals to many people because it operates independently of God and offers power (without humility), knowledge (without study), and a person doesn’t have to give up sinful habits, materialism and autonomy. However, all it costs is our soul.
