When the Lord does new things, He always wants to start with the people He has given the promise to.
The Lord will increase the former glory and the latter glory will be greater than the former glory.
The Lord has a certain relationship with you. Jesus comes to you and says, "You are the one that I love."
"If you love Me, you will obey My commands."
"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
But the Bible says, "Lord, the one You love is sick."
There has been a condition for the one that Jesus loves.
While we have sent missionaries out to 30 countries, today the doors are closed. Suddenly there is a hostile environment towards Jesus.
There is something about this condition that blocks us from knowing that Jesus is actually nearby.
Jesus says, "I'm here. Where are you?"
Jesus wants to come to the place where you have laid. Maybe it was a dream that was once there that shattered. Over time, something began to die.
Something that was dead, suddenly began to be alive.
Today, Jesus comes to the people whom He loves. He looks at the seed of your family and the seed of your life and says, "Is there something in your life that has died? I am the resurrection and the life. When it dies, it produces seeds."
The context of M100 is the Antioch Church Vision.
It is not just about church growth.
It is a revival and the resurrection of the seed that if it dies, it produces more seeds.
As a church, what is in your heart that has died? Jesus loves the Antioch Church Vision. Jesus loves your family. Jesus loves you. But somehow over time, it has built hostility and rejected it. Come to Jesus and be healed. Come and take that thing that has been taken and make it alive. When something becomes alive in us, we will begin to produce seeds of joy, peace and love.
Jesus says, "I am the way, the truth and the life. I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?"
Today we need Jesus in our hearts.
