We opened in prayer and each person shared about their last 2 weeks of kingdom related activities.
Llewelyn’s passport came through. He and Jenni are leaving for Vietnam on Monday 12 April for 5 weeks. The children will join them the last 2 weeks.
JJ, Aldi and the 2 girls are leaving for India on 18 April – 5 May. They have also been investigating different missionary training facilities to pursue the latter part of the year.
Every situation is so unique that there is no set path or pattern to follow. When you put all in God’s hands, He gets to decide where and when you go.
Anything that denies complete Lordship in every area of our lives, is toxic.
Top-line and Bottom-line blessings are terms coined by Don Richardson, who did a study on how many times the covenant is repeated verbatim, partly or references made to it: 398 (there are more if one expounds on it). The 6 top-line blessings are often used in different combinations or summaries of 6, but the bottom-line is always kept as it is - the blessing will always flow/go through/in you so that it can go cross-culturally. Bottom-line=cross cultural=missions. The only vehicle left to accomplish that is us.
To know the difference between top and bottom-line IS important - it draws the line between salvation gospel and kingdom gospel. If there is no difference, believers are warehoused.
Is it us that blesses the nations? Surely it is God through us with His plans and purposes. Otherwise we limit God by what we can and cannot do. As we co-operate and partner with God, we become 'successful'.
Sjoe! Everyone is busy
