Our Mission Field
All a stand up comic has to do is mention New Jersey and he gets laughs! Yes, there are better states to live in with better housing, lower costs of living, more Christians, and bigger churches. But it is all about one’s calling. As the Father sent Jesus into the world, so Jesus sends us (John 17:18). When we get to heaven we will have paradise; for now we have a job to do!
Remember the place God sent the prophet Elijah. Elijah was called to minister to the apostate country of Northern Israel. There were only 7,000 true believers in the entire region. (1 Kings 19:18) The country of Southern Israel was the more spiritual place to be. Any spiritually minded person would rather live in Southern Israel under King Jehoshaphat than to live under the ungodly rule of Ahab and Jezebel.
But God loved the people of Northern Israel and sent to them Elijah and Elisha. The greatest prophets were sent to the most needy place; and God gave them the power of miracles which was never given to the prophets in the South. The will of God will not put you where the grace of God will not keep you.
If you are a missionary to some tough front line position, take heart. Jesus said, “Truly I say to you, there is no one who has left house or wife or brothers or parents or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God, who will not receive many times as much at this time and in the age to come, eternal life.”
