Dear Family and Friends,

Greetings in the blessed name of Jesus!

WOW! Another week has come and gone! Time really flies! But I trust that you have had a fruitful and blessed week with the LORD and your loved ones.

Building relationships is not a one-time event but a lifelong endeavor. As believers, we need to sharpen ourselves to do this well especially with those outside the 4 walls of the church. We need to learn to be the bridge so that we may influence them with the values of God. It is not always that we can lead them to the LORD but we do pray for them. We do not coerce them but we genuinely love them and care for them. For too long, the church has secluded itself from the people that it should influence. Friends, we cannot remain like this. It is not healthy and it is not how Jesus wants us to live. However, too often, we fail to do this because we are afraid that the world may contaminate us. The Word of God promises us that He who is in us is greater than he who is in the world. So, we should go out there with the strength and faith of God. We should always be mindful that the Spirit of God, which is not a spirit of timidity will always be there to lead us and encourage us. This is the promise of God. This is the faith that we can have!

Church, the more we engage the world, the sharper we are when dealing with leaders of the marketplace. We will begin to understand their language and gradually grow in our ability to communicate with them. This is so important because if we are not able to connect with them, how can we even influence them? As Christians, we have developed our own lingo over the years, and without realizing it, this has become a stumbling block for us. So, we need to know what ought to be changed and then proceed from there.
Remember, this is a lifelong endeavor! So, don’t try to learn and do everything tomorrow. Think long-term, think in the long-run.

Enjoy the ride guys!

In Him,
