"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."
Whatever God wants to accomplish on earth, He does it through relationships. This is a truth, which helps us understand, why God is so intent on a relationship with us. He has a lot He wants us to do, the need is great, the time is short, and sadly the workers are few.
We everyday go before the Lord at least once and sometimes twice, praying for the workers in the harvest. We have our cell phone alarms set for 9:38 (MK 9:38) and 10:02 for ( LK 10:02), which states, the harvest is white and the workers are few, so pray for "Workers in the Harvest". (Notice He (Jesus) is not asking us to pray for the harvest, but the workers for the harvest.)
Here is the dilemma and tension that we live in.
Dilemma: The idea of commitment in today’s generation is not the same as it was in the past. People have a very hard time sticking to a task, an idea, and we’d submit to you even to the call of God on their lives. We see it time and again, that something good crowds out the best in their lives. Sadly they don’t understand the cause and effect that it has on Gods kingdom work and for those around them that are committed, it creates frustration as they try to go it alone. The world has painted a picture, that it all about them, their wants and desires, and has encouraged a lifestyle of not caring how their actions hurt those around them.
Tension: How do we confront, and disciple those that haven’t learned that commitment is key to their success, in any kind of relationship: whether it’s friends, their marriage, a ministry call, or consider this, their walk with the Lord.
Here are two other powerful one-liner:
"There's a difference between interest and commitment; when you're interested in doing something, you do it only when circumstances permit. When you're committed to something, you accept no excuses, only results."
"Commitment is the igniter of momentum."
Here is our mission. And (it’s going to take an army of us, who are willing) that is to father a generation that has not been fathered or fathered well.
We know that this seems to be an overwhelming task, but as we recognize those few that God shows us who are willing to change, we can take them under or wings and change their culture. There is an apostolic anointing on this ministry to do this, so let’s step up to the plate.
We believe it has to be in context of what the Lord has called us to do, and that is minister to marriages; otherwise it’s one of those good things, which can take us away from doing Gods best. Let’s find those that are willing to strive for excellence's, come along side them, not as a project, but in a coaching role to help them be all that God wants them to be.
We have a couple of couples we are doing this with locally and other places also, that bring so much live to us, we seem to gain more than they do, in the process. They have become real energy givers not energy swipper's.
