Hello. Welcome to Anchor Point, the daily podcast of the First Colony Church of Christ in Sugar Land, Texas. I am Treasurer from Nepal. This name is given by my grandfather. And thanks for joining us today.
Present world is facing panic situation due to corona virus. Our country also has 54 case till today, and nobody died by the grace of God. We are following strict lockdown and staying in home.
Being a Christian minister, it is very hard to spend time in home without sharing gospel and training people for ministry. Church also following lockdown and praying in their home. Actually, we focus on house church planting movement. I think many of you don’t understand what is a house church. I explain like this; a group of local people who come together and sing song and praise God, learn lesson from Word of God and practice in their daily life. They gather in a house or place where they feel safety instead of big hall and big congregation. It is good to have hall and other facilities if available. But our concern is spread good news like Corona and make possible one village one church.
Sometimes I was thinking that I might be wrong but Covid 19 confirm me, open our eyes that house church is will of God (for our people in Nepal). I am so encouraged now to develop a leader in each house to run church healthy
I would love to tell how God is using our people in present situation. You know that it’s illegal to share faith with people through word or any kind of symbol in our nation. (They can get put in jail for 5 years and fined.) We will be in trouble if any person saw and informed to authority. And our people think good news is Western philosophy and society is not ready to accept at once. We need to go again and again. That makes us one kind of presser in our heart
Many good Christians know where we go after death, but our brothers and sister don’t. Unknowingly they are opposing gospel. I remember one Bible verse from the book of Jonah chapter 4 verse 11. Let me read it. “And should not I pity Nineveh, that great city, in which there are more than 120,000 persons who do not know their right hand from their left, and also much cattle?” Other way to explain this verse, we can say God loves them so much and He send people in their life to share good news as an opportunity. But one thing makes pain in my heart, when they reject opportunity go away from life.
And Church cannot stay quit without sharing good news because of situation. Now we are usually go to follow our kin and neighbor to share good news to reduce risk of informed.
God is using all kind of people these days. Many of our believers are illiterate and cannot read bible, some are very poor, many leaders are not high qualified. But God is using them to multiply his kingdom. God appointed us to bring movement. My number one vision is train those who are save and send to the field. Number two is share good news to unsaved and teach what our master has commanded us.
Opposition and rejection was discouragement to share good news and Covid 19 came as additional stumbling block to slow our goal. I am praying to burn gospel fire in every believers heart, and encourage leaders to send people in the harvest.
I want to remind you all that two kind of people received blessing and reward, that is those who go and share gospel to the people and next is those who encourage people and send to share the gospel with peopl
