READ: 1 Corinthians 3:10-20
“And he said unto them, ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: FOR THAT WHICH IS HIGHLY ESTEEMED AMONG MEN IS ABOMINATION IN THE SIGHT OF GOD” – Luke 16:15
Great things on earth are not great things for God. Earthly things have left the church dry. That which is highly esteemed among men is an abomination in the sight of God!
Many have set the visions of Heaven and of God aside. Instead of seeing that we can do great things for God, church leaders have led the church into business, education and other secular social works. Every time you do great secular things, you reduce your chances of doing great things for God.
Soul winning and church planting are not the same as building secular schools and health institutions. Salvation is a very spiritual thing. A church is a very spiritual body. A church is not a building. Salvation is not education. Salvation is the conversion of the soul and the transformation of the spirit of a man.
Making disciples for Jesus is not the same as raising leaders and entrepreneurs for the business world.
When I speak about attempting great things for God, I am not talking about building hotels, universities, secondary schools, boreholes and connecting electricity to villages. I am talking about achieving the goal for which Jesus Christ came into this world; the salvation of this world through the blood of Jesus Christ! The greatest work is indeed a spiritual work.
