I heard a preacher this week from New Zealand...normally this wouldn't be a big deal because I listen to alot of preachers...but this guy spoke with an anointing that made it hard for me to fight back tears......he was speaking for God.
He said alot of things but here is what really stood out (paraphrasing)
"the current prosperity doctrine has quenched the theology of sacrificial living for Christ Jesus"
..did you know that David Livingston the missionary to Africa suffered from malaria 27 times in two years for Jesus!"
He asked a question ...he said if someone presents an opportunity to you which involves sacrifice don't respond with "that doesn't make me comfortable"...our comfort has nothing to do with it...the question is "Is the Lord commanding us to do it?"....what is God commanding you to do...have you said no to protect your comfort?
godspeed
