Easter - the tractor.
ewen lim said "we don't need a big congregation...... God just need a small group of people who are hardcore...."
as i see this i see the same problem in us, same problem in me. i am not hardcore. and i see the parallel to fireac. We used to be big. but the numbers dwindled. less and less people came.
But what God needs is not the numbers. He doesn't need a million soldiers. just a dedicated, hardcore 300.
because these few soldiers who are on fire and hardcore for Him, will kill thousands upon thousands of people. which is, to reap thousands upon thousands of souls for Him. Only difference is that, these people are powered by God, and don't die an eternal death.
can we, these few people, stand up to fight for God. Even as brothers in christ fall, even as people do not respond, can we still be, hardcore?
Peter - the one who denied Jesus thrice, on his first message after recieving the holy spirit, he preached with fire. his heart was with God. 3000 people got saved.
Hudson Taylor - 1st american dedicated missonary to China. passed the torch of christianity, which later reached 3 chinese brothers. now people are getting saved 30,000 a DAY.
Seymour and his associate pastor started the azusa street revival, which went on for years. pentecostalism started.
God does not need 1000, not even 300. just 1.just a group of dedicated people.
that's all he needs for a reaping machine.
