I'm feeling very humbled today. This past week has been a crazy, wild ride with God and huge fun. Doors are continuing to be opened to meet great kingdom minded people who are doing such great work in the marketplace.
But yesterday someone came forward at church and gave me an offering for "I'm a WorldChanger" saying they wanted to sow into the ministry and join the team.
Now for some of you on twitter and those with established ministries you have this happening everyday and probably receive huge offerings on a regular basis. But I'm just at the start of this journey so to me it was just humbling. God has given me a huge vision for the future but today its just an idea - and someone sowed into it.
Thank you Lord for small beginnings - I am cherishing this one.
On this journey there are many opportunities to ull back or give up. Increasingly there is "perceived opposition" and silly politicking from people who cannot see the big "kingdom" picture but hold to small church mindedness.
God has spoken strongly to me, through what He is doing at our church, to remain focused solely on His Kingdom and His righteousness and to let Him deal with the details. At the same time I understand that "the sheep know their shepherds voice." I made a decision very early on in this process to work with those people who chose to work with me - where ever they come from, whatever their church or business. If we hear eachothers voice then we can work together.
And equally if they do not chose to work with me then I feel to bless them and let them do their own thing. What God is doing through Marketplace Christianity and I'm a WorldChanger is for the kingdom - it is not about me. I am just enjoying the journey and allowing Him to guide my steps.
So I'm just sitting here humbled and looking with anticipation for what God will do next.
Thanks to the faithful few who continue to come and support MPC breakfasts - and to the new ones joining each time. Thanks to Jonathan for seeing something in what God was doing and allowing me to co-labour with you and Nick on your amazing film project. Thanks to Tim Stevenson for letting me run with a dream. And to Trevor for being at every meeting and helping with the admin.
There are many others and I hope you will all find a place and environment that encourages you to fulfill your dreams ad passions.
Thank you Lord for the message of the Kingdom - that brings life and purpose.
Thank you Lord for the seed of one supporter to encourage me to push on. You always know what I need.
