Our Vision & Aspiration – To Reach the World for Christ

The temptation today is to be ambiguous in areas where God has been explicit. To conceal vital information out of fear of offending other people. If we believe the truth of the Gospel, we are not to be offensive but it in itself the message of the Gospel will always offend and it is designated as such.

Life Changes and Life Commencements (being Born Again) will only take place by the Spirit of God within us. The truth of God’s Word ignites to life those around us (the pagans) who are “dead in trespasses and sin”. Only the truth has the power to transform lives.

Legacies never get built on intentions. They’re built on action. Let’s be “Workers together with God”

As pessoas usam a frase “basta ter fé, tudo vai dar certo” para encorajar e consolar
aqueles que enfrentam grandes desafios ou situações estressantes. Além disso,
quando se aspira a qualquer forma de atividade evangelística, a fé é uma
característica essencial de seu trabalho. Ela também é utilizada no que diz respeito à
fidelidade. Mas o que é a fé segundo a Bíblia, e ela funciona?
No Novo Testamento, a fé é traduzida para o inglês pela palavra grega Pistis (πίστις,
εως, ἡ. ) Segundo o Dicionário Expandido de Palavras Bíblicas do New Strong, “Pistis é
empregado de crença com o sentido predominante de confiança (ou confiança) em
Deus ou Cristo, proveniente da fé no mesmo. “‘Fé’ é sinônimo de confiança,
confiança, segurança e crença” (p. 1315)

I declare today and say that this is probably the most profound and life-affecting question that any man or woman has been asked or answered. Why? Because if we do the right thing in respect of Jesus Christ, we become the partakers of everything worth having for time and eternity, but if we do the wrong thing in respect of Jesus Christ, we shall lose everything worth having for time and eternity.

A todos os meus amigos de Moçambique e que falam português, envio esta mensagem na esperança de que seja uma bênção para o senhor e útil no seu evangelismo.

The Gospel in many respects is a scandal because it tells each and every man, woman, and child – whether “criminal”, “good,” religious or otherwise – that they must be born again – being themselves – outside of an encounter with Christ in their salvation is the pathway to destruction. The Bible in “John 3:3,” tells us that the unregenerate man who is “keeping it real” is keeping’ himself in constant threat of God’s wrath and only increasing his condemnation – “Romans 2:4-5” living like that only provides an eternal barrier to the kingdom of God.  

Do we understand the times in which we are living? Do we recognise the plight of both the Church and the Lost? Are we prepared to seize the moment by any and all means to bring across the gospel in a fresh and meaningful way, without watering it down to be accepted,and still keep its powerful and impactful to a lost generation of both saved and un-saved alike? Or! And it’s with such sadness I say this – “Will we be at ease in Zion?” will there be a “Little folding of the hands to rest” will we “continue to lie there?” will we “get up from our sleep?” if we do we can expect only poverty of spirit because the enemy “will come upon us like a robber” and we will find ourselves in need because a bandit will have stolen away the richness that God has for us.

The whole of the world at this particular time of History and possibly  more than at any other time is taken up with the theme of Love, nearly all the song which are sung, poems that are written, and films which are produced, depict, speak or ring with this theme, and yet with all this, it is clearly apparent that men and woman are not taking a grasp of what real love is. In so many places and in the experience of so many they are finding fanciful ideas that meet in a partial manner the needs of the flesh, and are stimulating and invigorating, but are missing the mark of what real love is.
