...SFC '06...

amazingly, this was the verse (Isa 6:8) for Sat and today..wah

thinking bout SOULS FOR CHRISTS 2006 initiative that God impressed upon me when I prayed what to do for the evax team. As I was really lost and stuck, and this agenda being the last on my mind always, forgetting it often until i remembered on and off. (Gotta settle my heart n mind of other things before i can reach the state to be able to do anything.. like before go for war, gotta be well.)

Realise eh, haven't been seeking God for this and doing anything .
anyway, in a few moments or so while travelling on 99, while i quiet myself to pray or seek God, this idea on how to unite the people together to outreach for God and save souls for Him came to my mind. the Theme 'Souls For Christ' came immediately, and the verse Isa 6:8b 'Here I am send me' just came along (i was/am reading Isaiah recently now.. !! :))

Thought of bringing the people to claim ownership together as a group resolution or something we do for God this year. And i was thinking to launch it as CG campaign!! hah.and not sure if i know bout campaigns. only thinking of how to laucnh and start, but no body yet..

Disscussed bit with Andr. Hope to have more input and God's direction in this..
Now i only have this, but nothing much, need plan more..


for deeper reflection & insights into the verse..

Called By God

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: ’Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?’ Then I said, ’Here am I! Send me’
—Isaiah 6:8
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

God did not direct His call to Isaiah— Isaiah overheard God saying, ". . . who will go for Us?" The call of God is not just for a select few but for everyone. Whether I hear God’s call or not depends on the condition of my ears, and exactly what I hear depends upon my spiritual attitude. "Many are called, but few are chosen" ( Matthew 22:14 ). That is, few prove that they are the chosen ones. The chosen ones are those who have come into a relationship with God through Jesus Christ and have had their spiritual condition changed and their ears opened. Then they hear "the voice of the Lord" continually asking, ". . . who will go for Us?" However, God doesn’t single out someone and say, "Now, you go." He did not force His will on Isaiah. Isaiah was in the presence of God, and he overheard the call. His response, performed in complete freedom, could only be to say, "Here am I! Send me."

Remove the thought from your mind of expecting God to come to force you or to plead with you. When our Lord called His disciples, He did it without irresistible pressure from the outside. The quiet, yet passionate, insistence of His "Follow Me" was spoken to men whose every sense was receptive (Matthew 4:19). If we will allow the Holy Spirit to bring us face to face with God, we too will hear what Isaiah heard-"the voice of the Lord." In perfect freedom we too will say, "Here am I! Send me."
