Live Chat - Customer Service

This has happened a number of times but it is always beautiful how God transcends all mediums in reaching the lost.

Usually, customer service officers (whether on phone or live chat) will need to remain professional because the conversations are recorded / documented. And we should try to be as respectful as we can when reaching them. 

(Not in time to snapshot the whole conversation as she ended the chat).

This one was a tougher one as she remained very professional. Yet I gently persisted to let her know who Christ is. It is important that we give and show someone Christ, than to forcefully or misleadingly lead them to Christ. God is not into you clocking numbers. He is into you loving people.

You don't need an outreach booth, a platform or an event to reach someone. Every day is an opportunity as you go about your daily routine and handle your real need. Your platform to preach is not the pulpit, a healing meeting or a service. If you need a pulpit, then it's better that you close your armpit and go to the sand pit (pun intended). You can preach to the waves and the sea creatures there.

Your platform is people. Whoever crosses your path is the platform for Christ to reveal Himself. More often, it is what you do when nobody sees that represents your heart for the lost.

Many people like to show off. But few people simply show up when nobody does. God likes to show Christ off when we simply show up when nobody is watching. #dailyhealings #collectingpayment #everydayChristianity

The Way To The Father

The Way To The Father

In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. And where I go you know, and the way you know.” - John 14:2-4

More often than not, we think that Jesus was referring to mansions and bungalows in heaven in future. But context is always the key. Read the previous chapter and you will know that Jesus was talking about His coming death.

The Father's house is none other than the dwelling place among believers (John 14:19-23; 1 Cor 3:16). Why are there many mansions? Because there are many people. Before Jesus' resurrection, the dwelling place was not possible because the Holy Spirit could not abide in us. Jesus was not yet glorified (John 7:39; John 12:27).

Jesus said, "If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also." He prophesied that again in John 14:19-21.

The Holy Spirit, which was given after the resurrection of Christ, gives us co-union with Christ so that "we are seated with Christ in the heavenly places" (Eph 2:6). We are One with Him. We are the dwelling places, the mansions of the Father. Therefore, where Christ is, there we are also.

Heaven is not the destination. The Father is. This is why it's not about how big your future mansion is. It's about you being the mansion of the Father. Jesus said, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."

Jesus is not the Way to heaven. The Bible doesn't say that. He is the Way to the Father. Knowing who you are is more important than where you are going. #identity

Financial Prosperity

Financial Prosperity

Financial prosperity is often a grey area.

For the non-believers, it’s about trusting in self and methods to produce wealth. Often, the end result is broken families, health implications and lost relationships at the expense of great wealth.

For some believers, it’s about trusting in Him passively —— waiting for finances to drop from heaven, or a sudden offer to have a high-paying job.

The Bible says that it is Him who gave us the power to produce wealth (Deut 8:18). The power (same root word used in Deut 8:18) was given on the Day of Pentecost (Acts 1:8). In other words, there is a partnership required between Him and us —- to produce wealth.

We can depend on His wisdom in and through us to produce wealth through various sources of income.

With tent-making, I believe we can preach a pure Gospel without money exploitation.
