Brag On God Friday

7/14/2011

Delighting and bragging on God as a

Global God

"The ultimate goal of God in all of history is to uphold and display his glory for the enjoyment of the reedmed from every tribe and tongue and people and nation."
John Piper

Did you know that we are in the most exciting time in history to be involved in His Great Commission.  “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.” (Mt 9:37) Do you believe that about the people around you?  “…I will draw all men to myself…” (Jn 12:32-33) God IS working on the people around you.  Look... here are real time decisions of people trusting Jesus.
In “The Faith Equation,” Dr. Marvin Bittinger, Professor of Mathematics at Purdue University and author of over 175college math textbooks, claims that by 2033 every person on the planet capable of understanding the gospel will have been presented the gospel, according to modern evangelism
trends.

Wow! We don't have that much longer till the work is done... I don't want to get to the end and be one of the 99% that never started the task.

So I said we are in the most exciting time in history. Here's why I say that. Here is what God is doing all over the world.

34,000 people come to Christ in South America everyday
28-37,000 new Chinese believers daily
23-25,000 new African believers daily
Every hour, 667 Muslims turn to Jesus. Which is 16,000 every day.

Egypt – some reports say 1 million Egyptians have trusted Christ over the past decade or so. The largest Christian congregation in the Middle East, meets in an  enormous cave on the of Cairo. Some 10,000 believers worship there every weekend.

Afghanistan – only 17 Muslims came to Christ before 9/11/01, but now more than 10,000

Kazakstan – there were only 3 known Christians in 1990, but now more than 15,000

Sudan – more than 1 million Sudanese have converted to Christianity just since 2000 despite a radical Islamic regime and an on-going genocide that has killed more than 200,000. Seminaries are being held in caves to train pastors to shepherd the huge numbers of people coming to Christ.

Iran – in 1979, there were only 500 known Muslim converts to Christianity, but today Iranian pastors and evangelical leaders say there are more than 1 million Iranian believers in Jesus Christ, most of whom meet in underground house churches. One of the most dramatic developments is that many Muslims are seeing dreams and visions of Jesus and thus coming into churches explaining that they have already converted and now need a Bible and guidance on how to follow Jesus.”

Worldwide: that is 174,000 new belivers everyday!
David B. Barret and ToddM. Johnson of the Global Evangelism  Movement.

The opportunity has never been more dramatic and the need has never been so huge.

You have been placed strategically in this very place, for this very time! Acts 17:26 – “From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live.”

We get to be a part of this amazing revival, through the power of the Holy Spirit leaving results to God. But it takes strategy. Just like Jonathan, he didn’t just hope his mission in the battle against the Philistines would just happen as he continued on with his life-hanging out in the palace playing…

Are you are serious about the Great Commission? You can tell if you’ve taken personal responsibility for it by seeing if you have a plan to pull it off.

Brag on God Friday's is a link up to  brag about God.  You can share  any post about how He came through for you when  you took a step  of faith, how  He answered a prayer, what He showed you through  His Word about  Himself, how He  gave a glimpse of Himself through His  creation, basically  anyway you have seen  Him reveal Himself.

If you  would like to use this  opportunity to brag  on God, go ahead and link up. Just  post my button (found  on the side bar on the  right or under the BOGF tab) or  link within your post so others can find us and hear about how awesome God is.  After you have  linked your  post, ask God to speak to you through the others  linked up and  leave them a  brief encouraging comment.

We have arrived in Cambodia. It is very early in the morning of Day 1. I will post tonight about our day and how God is revealing His heart to the nations.

Wow ... loved all the details in this..... how exciting!! For once your blog came up straight away today so I could respond back to you. I am not sure why but most of the time it takes 3-5 mins for your page to load. I try to comment back but am not always successful when I do the verification phase so just know I appreciate your link up with 'Inspire me'. This is so inspiring. Looking forward to hearing more of Cambodia :)

Laura, I love this post and I'm challenged by it. I read Radical several months ago and while it really convicted me while reading it, but now here I am today. What have I done since then? Thanks for encouraging me again.

That is incredible! I want to read Radical. My pastor has been talking about it in his sermons, and he is passionate about the focus of it. What a great reminder to keep focusing on spreading the Word!

Awesome, awesome God. 1/10th of all the people who've ever lived on this planet are alive in this generation! How like God to design the population boom to correspond with the technological and communication and travel advances -- For God so loved the world!

This post really points out the urgency of getting the gospel to the world. I think too many of us have lost that urgency. Thank you for sharing with us.

Every time I see that video by David Platt it gives me chills -- so powerful -- and so convicting. So often I sit in my own paradigm and my own ideas of needs and I NEED to live for Jesus. not me.

Thank you. Every SINGLE time I read your blog I am blessed.

Hi Laura,

Thanks for the encouragement to fulfill the mission we as Christians have been called to. Investing my life into the life of others and sharing my love and faith in Christ is the greatest opportunity in my life.

Blessings and peace.

Hi Laura,

Thank you for sharing this encouragement to share our Christian faith. The opportunity to share the gospel message of God's love, grace, forgiveness, and salvation is one we dare not ignore. People throughout the world need to see Christ demonstrated in our lives.

Blessings and peace.

Almost didn't leave a comment cuz I felt so convicted about my life. And overwhelmed by the need for Jesus in the world. And my reluctance to take up my own cross.
Oh, for the vitality of youth-that God would lift me up on wings of eagles to be His woman as He leads.

It is so easy to become jaded in our full lives of stuff, service, whatever and not care about the world that God loves. I have read Radical and want to be alive to what God gives me to do. Thank you for sharing your passion and inspiring others to be part of reaching the world.
