God has his heart on reaching the nations for him. it is his heart's desire even in the days after the fall. the great commission was not during the new testament era but it started even before Abraham. When God called Abraham to be set apart, he has this mission for him. His seed will become a blessing to many nations. this is the cry of the father. that is why he has made the covenant irreevocable.
The question doesn't lie whether we are called to be the last leg for the promise to be fulfilled, but is the heart cry of our generation the same as that of God?
I have joined the National Youth Missions Congress and it was a sad reality that there were only a few young people who joined. was it because of finances? i don't belive finances is a hindrance, many times have i proven that...or maybe missions is not our generations' first priority...or perhaps, it lies more deeper in the reality that still, division between denominations and ministries are still on high at competition instead of completion.
in order to fulfill our generation's destiny, we must change mind and set course of fulfilling the great commission. we are called to be world changers,and so should we be. Christ has called and set us apart for the purpose to be the voice in the wilderness, but unfortunately it seems that not many are ready for that call. will Christ's purpose remains supreme when we are set to disregard missions? i hope we dont have such mindset.
i would like to stress out the cat and dog theology in this dillema...
the cat christian always want to join activities that would benefit him alone and would allow him to grow...
while a dog christian has a world view of things, he wants to create impact and challenges people along with him to fulfill what was mandated long ago of the scriptures- go and tell the gospel to the ends of the earth!
this time, it's time to choose whether serving God is like serving him for our own purposes or serving God means serving him because he has done more that we can offer him.
let our mindset be more of the reality of the dog christian rather than the cat...
