……WHOSE KINGDOM ARE YOU BUILDING ?
"The gospel today has sadly deviated from its original purpose of sharing God's love to building empires for ourselves, leaving the poor and lowly in society rejected and belittled (Matthew 10:8, "Freely you have received; freely give"). We've become fixated on establishing our empires in towns and cities, neglecting the vulnerable.
Ministering in these areas can be challenging due to deeply ingrained traditions, poverty and the struggle to grasp intellectually demanding teachings like the Word of God (1 Corinthians 2:14, "The person without the Spirit cannot receive or understand the things of God"). However, it's crucial to be patient with them, for God loves them dearly (John 3:16, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son").
To effectively minister in these areas, one must define their priorities and remain focused, recognizing that significant financial support may not be forthcoming as expected (Matthew 10:9-10, "Do not get any gold or silver or copper to take with you in your belts—no bag for the journey or extra shirt or sandals or a staff"). Your heart, time, and resources must be willing sacrifices to the Lord, driven by a burning passion for souls (Romans 5:8, "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us").
May the Army of God, always ready to invade the suburbs and interiors, rightly divide the Gospel to the poor and rejected in society (Luke 4:18, "The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim the good news to the poor"). May God strengthen each of you in His faith and love (Jude 1:20-21, "But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in God’s love")."
