Reverse Evangelism and the Great Commision

-

 This blog is supposed to be a reflection on the Fearless Summit 2020, which was dubbed 'Be the Spark'. I must say, the annual theme is much needed during this pandemic time.



Summit Theme


What stood out for me was the last day of the summit, the fearless Sunday. There was the send out commission of Pastor Kevin and his wife Lucy to North America and that was quite emotional. It is a divine phenomenal that God has chosen two 'unlikely' African children to go and be part of the great commission in Washington DC, the capital of governance.  Pastor Muriithi commissioned them with a verse from Psalms 102:18, 'Write this down for the next generation so people not yet born will praise God' This was an amazing verse to remind the missionary couple that the send out was definitely out of great obedience but also for generations.

The great commission


The second part of the service was led by Pastor Aaron Graham, the senior pastor of District Church, (coincidently where Pastor Kevin and Lucy) are being sent out to. Pastor Aaron spoke about the spirit of Josiah during this unprecedented season. He encouraged the attendees not to allow our age (either real or measured in terms of experience) to be a hindrance in impacting one's environment for God. secondly, he also says that we should not be entangled in our father's sins but seek to do what God's will is.

I must give it to Mavuno Chruch because in as much as they are executing the great commission, they are also in line with the global Sustainable Development Goals and in particular Goal 17, which encourages the need for partnerships. it reminds me that as Christians we don't operate in a vacuum and God is truly concerned about the human race.

BEING A BETTER PERSON.

Dear #CrownPrince, the warm embrace of family.. you can never go wrong. Happy 2.5 years. All I can say, is I am continually amazed by how God has held you and brought you this far. You have grown into a joyful son, learning new words everyday and speaking your mind. (I wonder where you get that from) But I am so proud of you. Your love for music and dance is amazing, your love for books challenges me every day and your love for God is so amazing. You are a true shepherd.    Son, today I speak to you about being a better person. You see there is a big word known as SELF-ESTEEM (Google for definition :-) ).  Self-Esteem affects all of us knowingly or unknowingly and therefore, what we believe of ourselves, affects how others respond to us. Some people have an inflated self esteem, what I call pride and others have a subdued self-worth what I call laziness. The balance to that is what we call a mature and healthy self-esteem or self-worth....

Dear Son, Day: February 21 2012 Time: 11:37 p.m Weight: 3.75Kgs That day and time will forever be etched in my mind, body and soul. I had always dreamt of how you would look like, but when I saw you, my dreams were nothing compared to what was before me. You were far much more handsome, beautiful than I had ever imagined or thought. Oh my, what a sight to behold. I was speechless, (trust me that ‘s such a big deal. As you will realise, I am very expressive and will seldom shy to pass my point across) . I knew that my life was forever changed. As I held you in my arms, staring at your lovely eyes (which were wide open by the way – very strange, you were too eager to see the world after 41 weeks) and your soft skin glowing as your little tiny fingers tried to hold mine, I was astounded by God’s love, mercy and creativity. So today I say the prayer that I dedicated to you, two years back. Luke 2:52 (NIV) ‘And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and man.’ ...
