Paul was sent as the apostles of the Gentiles.
He's specially chosen to be the ambassador among them. In Acts 26 it's said that the Lord Jesus sent him to have their eyes opened,turning from darkness into light,at the same time being released from the Power of Satan unto God. These verses made me reflect upon my own calling to serve the Lord more than 25 years ago.
I was then a graduate from Chinese University. I already went with CCC colleagues serving among the university students in CU campus. Then these few verses struck upon me in an evening meeting. Of course I wouldn't think of my calling like Paul. But the verse also made me think of my life direction. It's a kind of mission out of the sending God to serve among the unbelieving students since then.
My mission was to see that they could be out of darkness & find the true Light,that 's our Lord Jesus Christ--- A into true Light ministry
My mission then was to see that they could be released from the power of Satan who blinded men's heart--- An entering Real Freedom ministry
Since then I have been a full time worker into Christian service.
This year marks my 25 yrs serving the Lord. From student ministry into church ministry into mission service and right now into China ministry.
Now I still ask the Lord to maintain my sense of mission in my ongoing service,i.e. make men out of darkness into light and being released from the power of Satan.
He is the God of mission and we are going on a mission journey to proclaim Him.
May such mission spirit be among all His children under the present confused generation.
