16 July; Mat 10

16 July; Mat 10

Mat 10 is about the sending out of the disciples.

Jesus the 12 out, but with authority given to them over diseases, the despises, the demon and death. But clear instructions was given to them. They were to go to the various cities of Israel first. They were not to received pay.

The sending out came at a cost - disapproval, persecution,  and even death. They were sent out as sheep among wolves.

What is worst then death? To die is to gain in Christ. But are you ready, am I ready to be sent out. I have a family. I have a responsibility. But Jesus said, let the dead bury the dead, sell all your processions...

Here in Singapore, it is a safe haven. Death from sharing the gospel and the good news hardly come with death. It is a good practice ground. There is no fear.

Lord let me start here. Let the considerations that is needed to fund, to feed like what you said in Mat 10:10

no bag for your journey, or two tunics or sandals or a staff, for the laborer deserves his food. (Matthew 10:10 ESV)

Simply, the laborers worked in the field, the field provides the laborer the need, the provision.

Plan as I may, but get it started - this I pray. In fact, as I prayed today for Matty, one of his friend came along and we pray together. So simple.

I ask for this family of mine to be used by you for your glory. If it is your will, help me to bring this family readied for your work both here and else where in 3 years to come.
