2. What is driving your life today?
Think about it now will you, and answer.
I know that you know the spiritual answers to the questions. But only you know the answer for yourself.
If the answer is not the spiritual one, then why not? Is it time to change?
A scenario can help to explain one of the revelations i have received about living a life for Jesus Christ.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1> Our entire young people group are sent to a certain village in India for 3 months. Mission: to build a strong and permanent Church.
2> We go with nothing. Except for basic survival necessities, and sufficient money.
3> We live in houses in a small area in the moderately large village. There are near-by surrounding villages.
- i> We have only three months to complete our mission. So everyday counts.
- ii> We decide that since our primary mission is to tell locals about God, we want to work on that every day.
- iii> Since our time is short, we decide to go about our mission in the most effective way possible - "Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit," says the Lord Almighty.
- Breakfast at 8:00am
- Worship, seek and pray at 8:30am - 12:00pm every morning.
- Have lunch at 12:30pm
- At 1:30pm Go into the village to witness that Jesus is alive. Let the power of God be present as we witness.
- Dinner at 6:00pm
- Night meeting at 7:00pm - 9:00pm with the purpose of growing spiritually. Discuss how to live a totally surrendered life, how to hear God, how to use the power that God has given us for His glory etc. How to be more effective, + any other sharings.
- Sleep/Rest/Personal time after 9:00pm.
And i can see this as a basically fair and practical schedule for a Church establishing mission, because time is short, and we want to be effective in doing God's work.
In India, our lives are prioritized for God. Much of our schedule is filled by Spirit-related things.
Here comes the questions now:
"When we fly back to Melbourne, is our time still short, and do we still want to be effective for God?"
"Will we still prioritize God into our schedule like we did in India?"
"Will we still use the same schedule to build the Church in our home town? If not, then why not? (Because we have no time? Because we already have lots to do? Yeah? Like what?)"
