Have you ever wondered, “Can God use me as a Missionary?”
The answer is yes! It doesn’t depend on your talent or ability to persuade
people. As a believer in Christ you’re indwelt with the Holy Spirit. In Acts
1:8 Jesus said, “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you;
and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and
in all Judea and Samaria,
and to the ends of the earth." He also said to his disciples, “Come follow
me and I will make you fishers of men.” (Matthew 4:19)
The Lord knows our strengths and weaknesses and is not
hindered by them. In fact the apostle Paul reminds us that God’s grace is
sufficient and His power is made perfect in weakness. In 2 Corinthians 12:9, 10
he writes, “Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so
that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight
in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For
when I am weak, then I am strong."
Your faith journey doesn’t begin when you step on the
airplane. It’s already begun. Watch God open doors for you as you share with
people about why you’re becoming a Missionary and observe Him provide the funds
needed for you to go. He can and will use you.
As you prepare, fix your thoughts on Jesus—the King of Kings,
the Lord of Hosts, the One who spoke the universe into existence; the
All-Powerful Never-Changing One.
Go, trusting in His strength and not in your own abilities.
