Churches tend to focus on things that happen inside the building. Relationships. Music. Equipments. Programs.
How much focus do we place on the people who are outside the church building. How much emphasis do we place on evangelism or cross culture missions? Most people tend to frown upon the idea of going out to the public. They come up with excuses of not being equipped enough. Do they remember what the Great Commission is?
When we are focused on the work of God, we would not be too concerned of what is going on inside the building. Yes, relationships and programs are important, but when we are out in the fields, we would not have time to be concerned about ourselves or how we could make things more comfortable in our church, as our priority is to win people for God. Our whole focus changes. We will be focused on God's word as we know His word is the source of our faith, and all programs or music will just be a means to understanding His word, not replacing His word. Relationships will then be built up with people who are like-minded, having the same focus.
God has provided me with alot of random people over the past few years which I am thankful about. These are the people I can share my ministry concerns with and who spurs me on and encourages me. They may not know me as well as some of my brothers and sisters at church, but they can support me in a different way. Because of the nature of such relationships, my association with them may be only be of an ultra short duration, but at least they provided support for me at a critical moment.
God is blessing...

ur wrong
music hasnt replaced Gods word
God's values are replaced by fakeness, covertness for power
and since many people are weak they tend to follow the crowd.
no 1 dares to challenge others cause they think others are more spiritual than them cause they were longer christian
and yes i beleive it to be not true even if others do(age vs chrsitian ), i wont hesistate to cut some1 down wif words ;)
Oki tends to focus on businessess that happen to be profitable. Mortgage Companies. Banks. Conglomerates. Strategic Alliances.
How much focus do we place on the customers who are not rich? How much emphasis do we place on non profit organisations and charities? Most people tend to frown upon the idea of giving out to the public. They come up with excuses of not being equipped enough. Do they remember what the Great Depression is?
When we are focused on the work of money, we would not be too concerned of what is going on inside the industry. Yes, relationships and programs are important, but when we are out in the market, we would not have time to be concerned about ourselves or how we could make things more comfortable in our business, as our priority is to convert people for Oki. Our whole focus changes. We will be focused on Oki's word as we know its word is the source of our mission statement, and all programs or advertisements will just be a means to understanding its words, not replacing its words. Relationships will then be built up with people who are like-minded, having the same focus.
Oki has provided me with alot of random people over the past few days which I am not too thankful about. These are the people I can share my sales experience with and who hangs up on and discourages me. They may not know me as well as some of my brothers and sisters at uni, but they can support me in a different way. Because of the nature of such relationships, my association with them may be only be of an ultra short duration, but at least they provided support for me at a critical moment.
Oki is blessing...
