The Lambs

"Feed my lambs," He told him. John 21:15c

Today at church we have had visiting ministry from a missionary group called Harvest. They work in a indie and Nepal and look to rehabilitate orphaned children in their communities. The minister told a story if a stop he and his guide made on the side of a mountainous road. There they meet a lot of grubby people but suddenly there was a beautiful young girl who was well dressed who came down to them. The guide spoke to her and gave her money. The minister asked him what was happening. The guide said, "that young girl was a child prostitute and I told her we did not want anything from her but that we were happy to give her something.

Yesterday I read chapter 1 from Joyce Myer's latest book called 'The Love Revolution'. In it she talks about human trafficking, child prostitution and the need for us to not be indifferent to the plight of those that are being abused and suffering horribly while we drink lattes, eat too much and complain about life.

Folks, we are called to be light and salt to the world and it won't happen by osmosis. We must determine to do something.

Today I spoke with my pastor who has two brothers who are blitzing it in business and want to fund the kingdom. I want to fund the kingdom and the rescue of children. We are going to meet. I believe God is giving me he strategy to make things happen. I want to fund these projects and save the lost, hurt and dying. Life is too short to spend everything on me and become fat and lazy. God gives us abilities so that we can use them for His Kingdom and His purposes not waste them in self-indulgence. I have a job to do. Amen!

Who Rules?

The princes of Judah are like those who move boundary markers, I will pout out my fury on them like water. Hosea 5:10 World leaders of church and state are now all highly visible. When they are not open to consultation or do not listen they make judgements that are judged as foolish by both God and man. In Australia we just celebrated Australia Day and at this time various people are honoured for their contribution to society. Our Prime Minister, Mr Abbott, without consultation, conferred a knighthood on the Queen of England's husband, Phillip. Almost to a person, Australians judged this to be foolish. Even supporters have now distanced themselves. Imagine what it is like when church leaders follow their own emotions or the emotions of their people and change what is acceptable to God. For example, no longer considering adultery something that precludes a man from ministry. We might think we are clever, but actually going with a sinful flow. Where is God in all this? My emotions ar...

Know Your Sword!

So he took Him to Jerusalem, had Him stand on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, "if you are the Son of God, throw Yourself down from here. For it is written: 'He will give His angels orders concerning You, to protect you, they will support You with their hands, so that you will not strike Your foot against a stone.' And Jesus answered him, "it is said: 'do not test The Lord your God." And the Devil had finished every temptation, he departed from Him for a time. Luke 4:9-11 In this third test Satan quoted scripture but Jesus knew His scripture and was not going to be deceived by his enemy twisting the truth. I am amazed at what Satan tempted Jesus with. He did not know Christ. He had succeeded in tempting the first Adam yet he was thwarted in this attempt. Jesus had lived 30 years and been tutored in godliness with contentment, he was prepared, baptised in the Spirit and sold out to the Father's purpose. Every time our enemy comes against us we ...

Little Things Grow

The boy's mother said to Elisha, "as The Lord lives and you yourself live, I will not leave you. So he got up and followed her. 2 Kings 4:30 The Shunamite woman had travelled to Mt Carmel to find Elisha after the death of her son. Although Elisha had sent his servant Gehazi to the boy with his staff the woman had come to find Elisha and was not leaving without him. I like this lady's spirit. I am sure The Lord God Almighty also valued her heart. She had a heart for God and made room for Him in her world. Now, having lost her son she knew what to do: find Elisha and not let him go until he came to restore her son. What made the Shunamite woman believe that Elisha could raise her son? Was it the same faith that made her provide him a place to stay in her home? I believe it was God working in her life. I am grateful for her faith, I can read and be encouraged. We do not know her name yet her story lives in scripture. What a little thing it was to feed Elisha and then provide ...
