By Apostle Aje Pelser
Preached at Harvester Reformational Church, Cape Town
Sometimes when I meditate, God takes me to a place of clarity. We are working in multiple spheres of influence that traverses the globe on a daily basis. But we are still locally involved and working to see Christ formed in every person we meet.
We are truly commissioned to go and commanded to love all the time!
When my dad, Apostle Andre Pelser, started to mission up exponentially, I started to see the need for following up the work of mission, and for consolidating the planted churches and bible colleges. Over the years I felt it necessary to first implement all he had taught me at home base before moving on to teaching other leaders. That’s why I only wrote about leadership after working it out for twenty years on multiple platforms the Lord had prepared.
If you look at a puzzle long enough, a pattern will emerge, a corner will present itself and from that little piece of clarity, the rest will begin to fit in.
That’s how faith works for me too. All I need is that little mustard seed to get going.
There is an App called “Kickstarter” that garners support for worthy projects. The concept is the same but on a spiritual level.
When we get that first bit of hearing God’s voice in a direction and someone comes to confirm it, or God gives you a confirming sign, or your brothers back you with some encouraging advice, that’s all you need to get going.
Once I played with a rugby player who knew how to pass me into a gap. I always had the pace on wing, but the ball seldom got to me. One day this fly half skipped the centre and passed me into a gap and said: “Go!”
That is one of the most exhilarating moments in life – when your buddy believes in you and you get a nitro boost in your step and it accelerates you to your goal.
And yes I scored that day – in fact I scored five tries that day albeit in a school game!
After years of chasing after lost causes and getting frustrated, all it took was one word to get going and break all my limitations.
Let’s look at some principles from the Bible to see the work and get going!
1. Jesus only did what His Father showed him
Joh 5:19 Then Jesus answered and said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner.
Joh 5:20 For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things that He Himself does; and He will show Him greater works than these, that you may marvel.
2. You see your calling
1Co 1:26 For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called.
1Co 1:27 But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty;
The whole point of this paragraph is to understand how God has chosen the foolishness of preaching to save those who believe in the message of the Gospel.
