I was in Islamabad this morning.
Ok, I was in Islamabad for just a moment. I heard what I would think the music would sound like. I heard laughter and rejoicing in a church service.
If you find that hard to believe, let me explain.
I manage several FB pages.
I have close to 200K total followers.
Before the algorithms changed, I would get HUGE numbers from those pages. I could post to these pages at one time and get 10K or more interactions on the same post. Some things would get over 100K. Today, pages get almost no traffic without paying. Today, maybe 500/1000 are high ranges. Usually from 20-50.
I still get messages from all over the world. I have sent countless to https://globaltracts.com/
This morning, I saw a request for a teacher to come and teach for a man who is an overseer for 30 congregations. He asked if someone spoke the languages of the pastors could come teach them. After some searching, I sent him the name of a Missionary for India.
I clicked his page, and after going through his page, I found other ministers. One was in Pakistan, I clicked on his page.
I saw many wonderful images. Finally, I saw this picture. A picture of the New Year’s service at a UPC church in Islamabad.
Wow.
My heart rejoiced. My faith was strengthened.
Rarely do we perceive just how LARGE a WORK God has done and is doing in our world.
Even when you don’t see it, He’s working.
Some have suggested that what God is doing today is not as great as the book of acts events.
I suggest every day around the world, God is working through believers. Local congregations and individual believers, it is beyond our comprehension to fully understand how GREAT and Wonderful things God is doing.
The God of Today and the Church of Today is not a shadow of the Book of Acts.
The Church of today and it’s believers are the book of Acts in action.
If we preach, believe, and act upon those promises, the Holy Power of God is still doing today what he DID way back then.
WOW.
In Him, By Him, Through Him!
