Early this morning while in bed, I was talking to God, pertaining to something that is really bogs my mind
God reminded me of the following scripture
Mat 9:37-38 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the laborers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth laborers into his harvest.
Now Jesus command was that we must pray that God send laborers into the harvest field, right.
As Missionary Pastor I have the following questions
1. Why do people pray Lord send laborers, but they never volunteer themselves
2. We are always so glad that God laid it on somebody else's heart to go into mission, so that we don't have to leave our comfort zone
3. Why must missionaries always struggle to raise the needed funds for an outreach
4. Why do people in church say, "I will not support missions to Africa, I will not give money to save black people, we have so many white people that have lack?, why not care for them?" But yet they have done nothing on their part to help, to contribute to the needs of these people. They shy away from the beggar, the malnourished, and those with ill health, they will not support their local missions, they use race as an excuse not to get involved
5. We all know Jesus last commandment was for us to go out and make disciples of all Nations, what happened to all Nations???
6. We pray Lord send laborers, but we do not contribute financially to help carry the load, of those whom God send to work in the Harvest field.
We expect the church to conquer evil, spread the gospel, reach the lost, help the needy, but we do nothing on our part.
As a church we are called to be warriors, to fight evil, but we send soldiers out, ill equipped to do the work.
All it takes to make a difference is a monthly contribution to your churches mission fund, if 100 people in church each give a R100 a month for missions, we will have R10 000 a month to reach the unsaved.
What can R100 buy you?
a large Pizza? 4 packs of smokes? 9 litres of petrol, 8 litres of Diesel, one Lazy aged steak at Spur? oops that costs more than a R100 rand, scrape the steak.
I want you to look at your finances, we can spend a R100 on many things, that brings no return, God promises us a 30 fold, 60 fold and 100 fold return on the seed we sow into his Kingdom. now what is R100 multiplied by 30, 60 or a 100??
Come on saints, get real about your faith, show me the works that accompany your faith
If you wish to start making a change and contribute to mission outreaches or to join an outreach please contact me.
