Rome evangelization (2013.01.30)
Rome evangelization
Acts 19:21 After all this had happened, Paul decided to go to Jerusalem, passing through Macedonia and Achaia. “After I have been there,” he said, “I must visit Rome also.” ♬ Hymn for scheduled worship: Korean/English Hymnal #502 Heralds of Light, Be Swift (#259 in previous version) How was my life before I came to know that Jesus is the Christ? Was I in the midst of sufferings and problems that I didn’t even know about? Then what about now, after having accepted Jesus Christ and becoming a child of God? At first, we lived without even being conscious of the problems around us because we were so thankful for the grace of coming to realize the Gospel. However, do we not live our lives just like unbelievers—looking head on into our reality and clinging to our problems? What have we lost hold of?
1. World evangelization
The entire world has become seized by spiritual problems because it cannot enjoy the blessings that God has given to His children. During the time of the Early Church, Rome was a mighty nation. The spiritual problems of Rome began to spread throughout the entire world, and there was no one to stop it. If we do not proclaim that Jesus is the Christ which is the only answer for the superpower nations that are seized by Satan and separated from God, we have no choice but to be influenced by the very same curses and disasters. We must testify the Gospel to the politics, finances, society, and culture that is dying without knowing the spiritual answer. This is God’s desire of world evangelization.
2. Focusing on prayer
Though world evangelization is important, we do not have the strength to change the powerful nations and organizations. However, God knows all things, and He is capable of all things. What God desires of us is for us to change our thinking. Every single problem is a blessing of God to save souls. Every conflict is an opportunity for us to renew ourselves. When limitations come, we just need to be filled by the Holy Spirit. These thoughts do not change overnight, and for this reason, take just 10 minutes a day to focus on the Gospel and gain strength. At that time, you will see the work of world evangelization that God has prepared.
3. All in
If you can hold onto the covenant of world evangelization and gain the strength of prayer every day, your 24 hours will change. When we pray, our thoughts and nature change into the direction of enjoying the Gospel, and we will receive the answer of uniqueness that no one can take away from us. We are able to use our most precious lives and finances for the sake of evangelism. We must discover the value of the Gospel, enough to be able to give our lives for world evangelization. We must restore the time for us to fill our hearts and thoughts with only Jesus Christ.
