The balance between meeting the need and exercising God's kingdom will.

The subject for the KE fellowship this last Saturday (6 November) was the balance between meeting the need and exercising Gods kingdom will.

Amongst many “golden nuggets”, the following concepts arose out of the discussion:

1) Jesus never went looking for the need to be met. He just met the need while performing His Fathers will (while on His mission).
2) Is your contribution truly an investment into the Kingdom with tangible returns? (For the Kingdom of course!)
3) We need to change our mind set that if we are executing His kingdom will then we have unlimited resources at our disposal and the “problem” is not insurmountable.
4) A suggestion – cross-cultural missions will naturally sort out the local need.
5) Human logic and emotion are dangerous allies when confronted with the “need”. We need to seek God’s strategy and establish the real need from the people themselves.
