In the lobby of our ministry’s headquarters in Orlando, Florida, we have an enormous picture covering an entire wall that shows a vast crowd at one of our African evangelistic campaigns. People are often overwhelmed by the photo because it gives a small glimpse of the size of these massive events. It is especially inspiring to other evangelists who have been called, as we are, to reach as many people as possible with the gospel. One day a young evangelist was visiting the office, and he stood in front that picture for the longest time just staring. Finally he pointed to the picture and said, “I’ve just been trying to figure out how to get to that from where I am now.”
I think this is a common question. How do we get from where we are at the moment to where we know God is calling us? If this is where you are, you are in a good place, even if it doesn’t seem that way right now. You are in the place of having a dream that has been sent from heaven. If this dream really came from God, absolutely everything you need is going to be provided as you move forward. This is going to be the most amazing adventure of your life.
God has spoken, and He is going to do His part, but what is our role in this? We need to recognise that every journey begins with a small, single step. Walking into all God has for us in the future begins with us taking small steps in faith now.
Ask yourself these three questions:
1 What Steps Can I Take to Prepare Myself?
2 How Can I Respond in Faith?
3 What Can I Do to Move in the Direction of God’s Call?
