Sowing & Reaping – Blessing the Nations!
Sunday 12th August was a bit of a different day in the life of King’s Church. The community of King’s Church Manchester gathered for our two meetings at 9:30 & 11:30am as normal – but it was slightly different as we sat and watched a DVD rather than listening to a preacher bring us the Word of God. Some of the members of the church were even asking the stewards where they could buy popcorn when the DVD started! – but this was to be no normal DVD experience! The DVD we saw was a report on different ways that finance had been sown across the world in the last 12 months. It told the story of how over £785,000 had been sown into Churches and people from Cuba to India, the Philippines to the USA, and the UK to South Africa. This money had been given by people in King’s Church, Manchester and from other individuals & churches around the world. These men and women come together under the vision and call to be ‘ministries without borders’ for the furtherance of the Kingdom of God.
It was a powerful time as we saw the amazing fruit of money being sown. We saw and heard testimonies of people’s lives being miraculously healed, radically saved and powerfully transformed by the Good News of Jesus Christ. Included in the report was how the sowing & release of finance has helped to see the Gospel of the Kingdom preached by evangelists in India, nurses looking after new-born babies in the Philippines, and a lorry to transport church leaders in the Democratic Republic of Congo. These stories and many more brought spontaneous applause and tears of joy as we saw the gospel being proclaimed across the world. What a wonderful commission and calling we have as God’s Church to Make Jesus Famous in the Nations!
We believe in King’s Church, Manchester that we are called to reach our neighbours and to reach the nations. The Gospel of the Kingdom needs to be taken to those who live on our streets, and to those who live 1,000’s of miles away. Our neighbours and the nations for Christ are our calling, our destiny & our inheritance. We are a sent people called to take the Good News of the Kingdom into every nation. There is no border that we cannot cross when God tells us to go into that place with his message of love, power & salvation.
Through our finances, in schemes like the £2 a week initiative, and in our regular tithes and offerings we can seed the nations with the message of the Kingdom of God. As we sow earthly riches into the Kingdom, we will reap the true riches of people’s lives being saved, healed and eternally changed by the power of Jesus Christ. Let’s continue to sow our finances and believe for the windows of heaven to be opened upon our lives so that we can be ‘blessed to be a blessing‘ both here in Greater Manchester and to the world!
