God is looking for Pioneers
I’m at an interesting place in my faith journey. I, without any doubt, have been called
to be a pastor. But, I have no
desire to do what I have been doing the past 17 years. I know, it sounds like I want to
be a pastor, but I don’t want to be a pastor. I want to be a pastor, but I don’t want to be a “business as
usual” pastor. What I mean is that
I don’t want to make a comfortable life for me, or my family, while the rest of
the world goes to hell. I want to
make a difference. I want to be a
part of a movement of God.
With that said, I’m not surprised that over the last few
days the Lord has been putting a word in my spirit. The word is “pioneer.”
This morning, he impressed upon me to be a pioneer pastor. What is a pioneer pastor? A pioneer
pastor is a pastor who will risk everything for the advancement of the kingdom
of God. In my case, it is a pastor
who begins
or helps develop something new and prepares the way for others to follow.
God has given me a burden to
plant a “Word” and “Power” Church.
It won’t be easy, but I believe God wants to overflow his people with
his power and truth so that we can change the culture we live in for his
glory.
Of course, now I am praying
for God to bring alongside of me pioneers; people who want to do something new,
who want to be a part of a movement of God.
