Well about time to post something!
What better way than to have a re-cap of our journey so far?
If God is a Guide, not just a stagnant roadmap, it pays to look back at how our Guide has led us - and listen afresh for our journals (sorry robin! no journal yet!).
On 4 August - “God invites you to be involved with Him and His work”.
We then talked and explored scripture on the other dimension of our Christian life – our service to God. God led to us to see the very real needs of those around us and sense the urgency of His invitation for us to be involved in His mission. The LG then watched a segment from “Transformations”, a real life documentary of how God touched a community plagued with painful needs. We then prayed and ministered to one another.
On 18 August, we discussed the Seven Spiritual Markers when God guides us on mission. We acknowledge that at each and every point, we can choose to reject, ignore and short-circuit our mission with God. Mission with God, is thus, not an automatic or accidental outcome. Our discipleship demands that we pay intentional attention to following Christ amidst the reality of our careers and family life.
We looked more intently at “Your Relationship with God will determine Your Activities” – this was complemented by a time of looking into our own private world with God. It was a sobering time as we acknowledged the quality of inner lives after all our years of knowing Jesus – and the need to intentionally create space for God.
On 1 September - “God sends you where He can best work through you”. But we focused on the truth that “Everyone rightly related to Him is on mission with God. He drops you into the time line of His local, global, and eternal kingdom activity”
We reviewed that:
-God chooses Us
-There is a TRUE call for us as a disciple to a vocation with Christ
-Our inner life with God will govern our activities
-We committed ourselves, no matter how, to make space for the discipline of quiet time/prayer listening/reading in our lives.
And brought ourselves, after thinking about it for the week, to answer:
“Do you think you are now in the Centre of God's Will? if Yes/No, why do you feel that way?” and “Why are you doing what you do now (i.e vocation/service in church etc)? Does anything need change?”
