If you have nothing to die for, you have nothing to live for

During the last session of Global Awareness in 2015, our youths learnt about the worldwide refugee situation. Global Awareness started this year in R-AGE with the intention of developing us into global Christians, simply because we serve the God of all nations! As we were sharing our reflections, a youth said, “Things are just going to get worse, this world is doomed for destruction. Our only hope is in Christ.” Wow! What a bold statement made by this young man! Ain’t it true? Who then shall go and tell these refugees that their only hope is in Christ?

When we look at the world we live in today, we see evil and corruption everywhere. Jesus already warned us, we are not to be surprised. All these things are prophecies being fulfilled. The end is near; the urgency shall increase. The earth is fading away and God’s people shall arise!

“Here am I, send me!” God shall be pleased, if everyone of us respond in this way and participate in His work that carries eternal value! I want to do missions beyond the borders of my own country. Missions at places where the powers of darkness seem to be in full force. Missions at places where we deem to be unstable and dangerous. Missions at places where a believer could be in a life-threatening position.

Where is the safest place but in God’s presence? Where is the safest place but where God calls you to be? Where is God calling you to go? What is He calling you to do? Will you respond by faith? For to live is Christ and to die is gain. What shall we be afraid of?

Death?

 If you have nothing to die for, you have nothing to live for.
