Brag On God Friday

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.
