Come As You Are
Everyone the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will never drive away. For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but to do the will of Him who sent Me.
And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that I shall lose none of those He has given Me, but raise them up at the last day. For it is My Father’s will that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in Him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.” '
John 6:35-40
Nothing Happens By Accident or Chance
When we first started sharing the Word of God online in forums, comment sections, social media and other online platforms in 2003, never would I have thought that there would be so much people worldwide who would be looking for this kind of content online.
After multiple platforms and close to 20 years and thousands of messages, God opened up this avenue to reach a multitude of people in over a hundred countries and territories, and mostly in predominantly non Christian parts of the world.
Following the day Kabul fell, a message we have just shared in one online platform have reached over 70,000 people worldwide, several of them from within Afghanistan. This particular post generated over 3,000 likes and it is just mind blowing how there are so many people just hungry for the Word, across the world and looking for God online.
In the year 2012, we opened up this "online church" when the very idea of one is not even in the conversation. Or if it was, it was looked upon as nonsense.
Such A Time As This
In 2020, when all of a sudden, the world was paralyzed by a pandemic, the concept of an "online church" has literally come of age overnight -- the New Normal.
People from anywhere in the world can now "go to church" wherever they are and in whatever situation they are in.
Whereas people used to have televangelists and preachers on radio, now live interactive prayer meetings, youth, women's and men's ministry meetings and church services in Zoom and other online meeting sites have become commonplace and it appears like they are here to stay.
Jesus said:
"Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and ‘you will find rest for your souls.’ For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
Matthew 12:28-29
This invitation is still open today, more than ever.
Wherever you are in the world, Christ is calling you... "come".
The internet and social media weren't designed for God's Word but God is using this and everything else to reach the lost. Everything happens for a reason. It is not by accident that you are reading this message.
Together let us read the Word and share Christ to all the world... and then, the end will come.
"This Good News of the kingdom shall be proclaimed in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come."
Matthew 24:14
