Pastor Chris
Send us around the world with the
news of your saving power and your eternal plan for all mankind (Psalm 67:2
TLB).
Our world today is far more complex than many expected it to turn out.
Many are perplexed by the extent of evil and wickedness, as the world seems to
be plunging deeper and deeper into abyssal depths of darkness. As Christians,
however, it’s important for us to realize that the events in the world today
are actually the fulfilment of scripture. Isaiah 60:2 tells us, "For,
behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but
the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee."
The more darkness there is in the world, the greater our opportunity to
shine as lights in the midst of a perverse generation (Philippians 2:15). Now
more than ever, we must realize our position as the light of the world, and
take the light of the Gospel to men and women around the world. It’s said that
over eighty per cent of all of Asia are yet to hear about Jesus Christ. In
Malaysia, only eight per cent are said to be Christians. Think about the growing
level of heathenism in today’s Europe.
Whilst these statistics may portray a gloomy picture, it also lets us
know how much more impact we need to make with the Gospel. We can’t afford
to be weak, lukewarm, or quiet. We must keep preaching the Gospel with greater
fervency and passion, as the urgency of the moment demands. We’re the
custodians of this Gospel; it’s our responsibility to preach it with the
knowledge and power of the Spirit—as witnesses to all nations (Matthew 24:14).
Commit yourself to spreading the Gospel as though it rested on you alone
to tell it to the whole world. Spend more time interceding for lost souls, and
pray for ministers of the Gospel around the world, to achieve greater results
in their evangelical efforts. Remember, the Gospel is God’s only saving power
that unveils His eternal plan for mankind; it’s worth all your commitment.
Prayer I pray today for a harvest of souls in
all Asia, Africa, Oceania, Europe, and the Americas, as Christians in these
regions carry out evangelical work. I come against the prince of the power of
the air, and I break his hold over these regions, and pray for increased
activities of angels, to guide many into salvation, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
