The EA's Friday Night Theology article for this week; "Working on a dream" contains some food for thought, and prayer. It reminds us that Jesus was a story teller, telling stories with a purpose and for a good reason, people relate to stories. Stories are a great way of communicating complex ideas in a compelling and inspirational way.
The article points out that in tough times, dreamers and story tellers come to the fore. Such people are often found leading the way to change, when people are disillusioned with the current status quo. Stories help paint a picture of the future, showing how life can be different in the future, helping people to see things differently.
The Church needs to learn from the example of Jesus and to find ways of telling the Kingdom story in ways that people today can relate to. We need pray and ask Father to release the prophetic message of the Kingdom afresh.
We need to see the Church's story tellers, poets, and artists come to the fore at this time to present the people around us with a new vision of the future. The economic problems and the vacuum of leadership caused by the greed of some in Parliament, presents the Church with a great opportunity to present the Nation with a fresh vision of how life can be with Good at the helm.
Pray for those that God has gifted as tellers of the Kingdom story, ask God to refresh your telling of your testimony. Ask Father to make you bold to tell your story - A personal testimony is often the most powerful story in reaching others with Father's love. Don't think my story is not as dramatic as others I've heard - We are called to tell our personal tale, trust me your story is more powerful than you think, after all it's about you and the Almighty God!!
