Through any meeting one can achieve success or failure. This shows how important meetings are.
Your life changes according to whom you meet and the influences you receive. There is a meeting that
God desires. It is to meet an individual who is deeply rooted within the Gospel. When these individuals
gather together to form a team, the answer to change the world appears. What is the blessing of
meeting we must enjoy that God desires?


1. The way I see myself
I must view myself from a spiritual perspective. When I examine my life from an
evangelist’s perspective, God will use me to discover what He desires. Although I may
appear to be lacking from the standards of the world, my inadequacies and weaknesses
are actually blessings. God will reveal His power through me because I am a child of God.
Before complaining and becoming discouraged in difficult circumstances, wait for the
work that God will carry out through you and enter into prayer.


2. Meetings with people in close proximity to you
God prepares the blessing of meeting first and foremost in places that are close to you in
proximity. When you quietly meditate on the Word and pray in your school, workplace,
or family, God will grant you meetings with disciples that He has prepared to receive the
Gospel as well as the people that God desires for you to meet. When the individuals of
the Book of Acts gathered together in prayer, disciples arose and the Gospel went beyond
Jerusalem and was spread to the entire world. Like this, the Gospel movement begins
through meetings with people in close proximity to you.


3. Blessing of meeting
When you enjoy meetings with people with whom you are able to connect in the Word in
areas close to you, the world begins to change. The golden field that has grown desolate
because of the forces of darkness becomes restored with the Gospel and the covenant is
relayed to the next generation who will save the future. Also, the specialized fields become
changed with the Gospel, and those who are suffering in body and mind become healed.
Through one small meeting in the Gospel, the blessing of changing the world will arise.

When the disciples who are enjoying the Gospel gather to pray together, God opens the door of
evangelism that He has prepared. Pray as you think about the person with whom you can share the
Word.
