Romans 1:16 (NIV): 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.
Recently, I had the privilege and honour to help out in a mission trip by a brother and his son to a faraway people in a faraway land. I only gave him some funding, a small amount I can afford. One day, I hope to be able to be a part of such trips that teach, minister, and share the Good News. Different organisations do this differently as some organise city-wide evangelistic healing campaigns. While others do it on a smaller scale, like joining teaching retreats or camps.
This is what the author of today’s ODB article calls Gospel resources. That is anything given by God to spread the message of His love and salvation. The point is that we must get Gospel resources to places where they are needed most. Small communities that are encouraged and strengthened will go a long way to proclaim and bring the message of hope to the larger community there. We must help, in one way or another, to place the spiritual flag of salvation in such needy places that the name of Jesus Christ is proclaimed.
Don’t look down upon ourselves. We ourselves are Gospel resources. Whatever spiritual talents and giftings God have given us, use them for His glory. Volunteer ourselves that we may be a blessing unto others. Focus on our strengths and not our weaknesses. But if we are unable to personally attend, help by giving finance and pray for their spiritual wellbeing. Pray for the power of God to be manifested in their midst and for the spirit of salvation to prevail and reign!
Have a good week ahead even as we prepare to celebrate Easter Sunday! In fact, have a good Holy Week ahead, the week that starts yesterday as Palm Sunday and eases into Good Friday and Easter Sunday! Remember – the Gospel is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes, whether Jew or Gentile.
