Most of us are familiar with Mission Impossible the movie and Series. One day while praying, I asked the Lord why are people that start or are on active ministry are so strongly attacked.
I truly couldn’t understand it, but I didn’t have my answered that day. Another day, while I was praying, the Lord answered my question. He said it’s a Mission Impossible.
You see, in Mission Impossible, the mission, reach you by mail, or phone, or computer, or a chip etc. After the message is heard by the agent and received all the instructions. (Here is the key) The agent is ask.
Do you chose to accept the mission?
You see he is not force to accept it, he choose to accept the mission, even though he is aware of the risks, he may lose his life’ or be torture, or his girlfriend may be kidnap or killed, he may have to deal with betrayal, and deception, and even death.
Even though he know all the risk, he choose to accept the mission, confident that his abilities and skills will be enough to fulfill his mission. Once the agent accept the mission, there is not going back, he needs to be ready for whatever he will face.
When you accepted the mission from God even if is cleaning the church, treasurer, Pastors, Evangelistic, Missionary, teacher, whatever the Lord has call you for. You have to understand that you have accepted this mission, you were not force into it!
The Lord warn us in his word, that we are going to find opposition! We have to understand that all missions that is accepted by those who serve the Lord, is against an enemy whose purpose is to rob, kill and destroy! Jesus warns us ahead of time, that we have to be ready to face the devils intention. Good thing Jesus is our back up!
John 16:33 New International Version (NIV)
33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
Matthew 11:12 King James Version (KJV)
12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffered violence, and the violent take it by force.
Job 2:10 New International Version (NIV)
10 He replied, “You are talking like a foolish[a] woman. Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble?”
In all this, Job did not sin in what he said.
Ephesians 6:13 English Standard Version (ESV)
13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.
You see when you accepted your mission from God, it don’t matter what your mission is, you accepted with the knowledge of the opposition to come! (I hope) Or you though that you were going to go to war and not fight for your life!
It is sad how it is seen in social media, and I have seen this myself, complaints about ministries like this ones. You don’t know what it is be a pastor, a teacher or an evangelist etc.
How hard we work get up in the morning, dealing with people, etc. We cannot continued with this! The enemy is listening and he knows that you are tired and verge of throwing in the towel! The souls that are at stake don’t need to think that they are a burden for you!
2 Timothy 1:7-9 King James Version (KJV)
7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
8 Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God;
9 Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,
The ministries God has gave us, are not to walk in luxury! And at the time of war, locked ourselves in bunkers like cowards! Most of the disciples found death in their ministries! Are you ready to accept this mission?
This message will self-destruct in 30 seconds. Just kidding
