"OUR
VISION IS TO HAVE SOUL WINNERS
TRAINED IN EVERY HOUSE!”
John 3:16,
in the latter part, gives us the vision of our Lord, “that none should perish”. All
Christians are responsible for those who perish around them. Jesus said that if
you follow Him, “I will make you fishers of men”.
Professional fishermen catch thousands of fish in their lifetime.
Therefore, every follower of Christ must expand their vision for the lost.
At
LHI, our vision is to return to this early Church practice.
We envision Christians from different churches meeting together in
regions of every village, town, city, state and country of the world.
They come with one passion - to be more effectual witnesses for the Lord!
While
working on the mission field, the Lord instructed me that I was to form home
groups. Without a ministerial
leader, these newborn babes were to fellowship and share their testimony with
each other. I was further
instructed to teach them how to duplicate this same experience in friends and
family by repeating this same testimony in front of them. Thus, before anyone told them they could not they
quickly experienced that they could be a witness for their Lord.
From the beginning fellowship in the
Christian home, without a minister present was a normal practice. In a modern
Christian church, the alarming fact is that less than twenty percent of all true
believers today have even led one person to the Lord Jesus Christ in their
entire life. My friends, this is the bride’s great sin. Church
has become more of a spectator sport than having joint participation by every
member. Yet in the beginning, a church of over a thousand believers
was found in a hundred homes. A
dozen or so Christians met together, had communion and fellowship with each
other.
Acts
1:8 “but
ye shall receive power at the coming of the Holy Spirit upon you, and ye shall
be witnesses to me.” Every true believer has a responsibility to be a witness.
A witness here is translated “martyr”.
Our witness is the personal expressions of God's grace and power working
in our life daily. It's that
miracle of deliverance or healing or other salvation experience that God has
performed on your behalf. You shall
be a witness—either good/effectual or bad/ weak!
Ones
documented testimony has the power in our courts to either free or even convict to
death the one being charged. Life and death are in the power of our Christian
witness. But as in this verse, the
greatest power is in the "spoken word" of our testimony in the
precious blood of the lamb. Yet we
choose to either bear true or false witness.
An unspoken witness is a false witness.
Fear can keep one out of the courtroom and it can keep us from obeying
the Lord's command.
