Reaching the Region

Romans 15: 23a “ But now that there is no more place for me to work in these regions, “

Paul was an awesome pioneer for the gospel. Paul did not intend to “plant churches” but to passionately bring everyone he came in contact with to the saving knowledge of Christ. He was not focused on programs and Podcasts, dramas, or lighting. He had something deep and powerful running through him, Jesus.

When I stop and think about how many people I come into contact with daily, I wonder if I am giving my all. Do I look at every person and see their destiny? Heaven or Hell may not be politically correct to discuss, but it is necessary.

Monday, I had a student come to my office and she wanted to give up on college. She was overwhelmed and confused. The problem was not school, when we dug a little deeper it was really a heart problem that was affecting everything else. We talked about God’s purpose for her life and how He loves her and values her. But later, I felt like I could have given more.
Paul said that there was no more work for him in that region and so he was going elsewhere. I want to be able to say when I leave my job, my city, CWC Milpitas to go to Hawaii, that there is no more work here for me. I want to say that I have reached everyone and that it is time to move on. I want to say with confidence that I left it all on the field in California.

Lord, let me not put the brakes on when it comes to sharing salvation no matter where I am at. Help me to recognize this may be someone’s last opportunity to know you. Let me reach my region for you. Amen
