I sense it. A new season is being entered into. Sure, the new year always brings
with
it that feeling,
but
that is not what excites me this time. The excitement I feel is a God thing
for God, by God and
unto God!
I sense this will be a season of incredible grace of God upon ministry to those who are genuinely committed to God and ministry. Only the most basic of the success we will achieve will be ours to delight in. While our hands will be visible and our names will be on the marquee, we will only be able to say, My Father doeth the work. There will be no rhyme or reason to what we have accomplished. The phenomenon of our success will be because God loves souls and He prospered us to win
them. In this prophetically inclined hour, seasons are often prophesied about and rejoiced over. We are so inclined to becoming ecstatic about financial abundance, church growth explosion and personal favors we would like to be on the receiving end of. To that I say: May it come to
pass maybe. I pray that it does happen but only to and for the glory of God.
May it come to pass if God is rewarding you for years of faithfulness. May it come to
pass
if your
burden
for souls exceeds your desires for the things you equate with personal and religious
success. I pray that
your ministries grow to the fullest extent of your capacity to minister. I pray that you
receive enough
money to sow multiplied times over your previous sowings.Further, I pray that you
sow it not into fruitless
and egotistical religious projects,
but into high yield, soul-saving ministry. My
prayer is that we will
resign
ourselves to true unrefined, God-sent ministry. May
God fill us full of
the love and weighty passion
required
to do a maximum work in the most minimal amount
of time. Are you saved? Get your eyes
off Heaven and look at Jesus. Is He happy with the work
you are doing?
Heaven is a place
where the
believer
will go to be rewarded for what they are doing, not just
for being
good.
Are you doing anything to be
rewarded for? Are you unsaved? If so, why? Give yourself
one good
reason for staying in sin another day.
Give your body and soul to God today.
Then prepare
yourself to
do Gods work. Someone you
love is
counting on you to do that
(Go to our newsletter page and read Its All About Jesus.) Souls are what God
calculates.
Do what produces souls. To that end I pray unprecedented and unimaginable success.
