So it's been a very long time since I last posted, but this revelation is worth posting! I really hope that through this post, God can reveal something to you, of just how and who you can help.
Not to long a ago I was blessed enough to be able to go to Passion Pretoria (INCREDIBLE!!!!!) and something that Louie Giglio said ruined my life. He said "Imagine a South Africa where no one can go even half a day without hearing the name of Jesus."
WHAT?!?!?! God is that possible?! HOW?!?!
Then I realised DUH it's possible! You think the Incredible God we serve and worship wouldn't be able to make it possible?
So with all this going on in my mind, I got down with God and discussed some practical ways which this can happen, some practical ways that we can have Universities proclaiming the name of Jesus daily. My biggest argument with God has always been, I know I'm called to the ministry, to bring people to God. Matthew 28, we all know it. But I'm a varsity student, I can't do to much now, and God so gracefully said to me, "ofcourse you can!!!" and going through these practical things with God (which I encourage you to do personally with God) I realised How much I can do and then I started freaking out, how am I gonna do this? Varsity is filled with worldly things and maybe if I bring the basics through, God can do the rest, and maybe if I drop a Facebook Status or two and hopefully God talks to them through that, and again, God so gracefully reminded of the fact that the truth sets us free.
SO MY POINT OF THIS POST....
As Christians we need to stop dancing around the truth. We need to stop being scared of offending people. Because by doing that we are going to get NOWHERE. There is a way to bring the truth across, God's word promises us that the TRUTH WILL SET US FREE! (John 8:32) So in that then is it not our duty to present the truth. Our problem is that we don't want to offend someone. PLEASE understand that I'm not saying we need to go offend everyone and think it's awesome but take this example: John tells Jane that Murder is a sin, Jane has never murdered before and she says "Amen, Preach it!" Then John go to Jill who has murdered 3 people before and says "Murder is a sin" Jill will be offended, and that offence I believe is a spiritual conviction, and if it offends you, the enemy wants it to, because the enemy knows it has that hold on you, so when you are offended by God's truth, you may need to assess something in your life, and you may need to change.
With all that in mind, I get back to my point of speaking Gods truth, I think a problem on Campuses today is that we don't wanna preach "Negative" messages. What is negative about the truth that is God. What is negative about the freedom and salvation that comes through Jesus Christ.
I'll tell you what negative about it NOTHING!!!!! NOTHING!!!!! NOTHING!!!!
We need to stop been scared to offend, and we need to stop using excuses like "Negative Messages" We need to present God's truth. When the word of God says "You shall not murder" it means YOU SHALL NOT MURDER, and with a revelation of that (Although this is a weird example) someone's life can be changed, but if we carry on beating around the bush by saying "It's okay if you murder, God forgives (Which He does), You know... What ever!" We are helping keep that person in slavery.
Just to paint a Picture for you..... By beating around the bush it's like walking past someone who is chained to a wall been beaten everyday, with the key to release that person in your hand.
Again with all of that in mind and as I said in the beginning this is not a Free Pass to go offend everyone, but when we minister to people it should be done prayerfully and through thee Holy Spirit in us, and that way we know that we are presenting the truth of God. So please don't misunderstand me in this but rather trust God to reveal to you what He wants to reveal through this.
I think that when we get this right the fame of Jesus will be far more evident then it is now! That one line at Passion Pretoria 2012 changed my view on life and changed what I see as my mission on campus. I wanna bring Fame to the Name of Jesus Christ, and I wanna bring freedom to the people through Jesus Christ that they will know that only ONE DIVINE BEING can change their lives and set them free as they have been set free JESUS CHRIST!!!!!! **NOW I'M EXCITED**
I really pray that if you read this God will reveal people to you, and situation to you and a whole lotta other things to you that will help you with this revelation. I also pray that this will make sense, because I am typing this at 02:30 in the morning, because of this passion to share this message...haha... God works in Awesome Mysterious ways! So this message could have many spelling mistakes and who knows how many grammatical errors, but the point is the passion behind that message that I wanted to share!
Thank You so Much for reading this!!!
You are an Incredible Brother/Sister in Christ, and We serve an AWESOME GOD!!!!!
Blessings! :D
