One World, One Dream

Watching the Olympics Opening in cell, as it showed off the display of the splendour of the history of China- I felt proud of this heritage, being a Chinese- look at China and it's rich history and culture depicted and broad casted to over 4 billion viewers... as the scroll unfurled and the images and the scene changes before our eyes, I watched and took in every sight of display and capture the 2000 years of Chinese history - man and technology in unison and I remembered the commentator saying - .."after all the many comments and critics before the Opening, we now witness the biggest and most spectacular display of the rich heritage of China.." and the newspaper's headline the next day reads - " Great Wall of Fire"- the Opening night display lasted slightly more than 4 hours and cost over US100million... the works and efforts of many men working in unison , cash and technology, and the world witnessed a great display...
What impressed me is the near perfect choreography of all the movements and all the execution and display to the finest detail- how so many people were mobilised at the same time- yet there was such unity and effort put in to 'make the country proud'.....

Upon reflection, each of us also has a 2000 years history to tell the world- the sheer Magnificence and Greatness of God is to be broad casted - share abroad -to all the world- the One World, One Dream of our lives in Christ deserves more than all the effort put in at the Opening night- we have a more spectacular story to tell....
we are to unfurl, display and broad cast the Glory of the Creator of the Universe who has called us to bring the message of 'reconciliation of man back to God'.... we have a higher calling that does not end in one display but to be continuously depicted in our lives.... we are to be the "vessels of Fire", we are to beat the drums in unison, with all our hearts, our minds, our souls and all our strength to TELL HISTORY- His Story.... Jesus is the way, the truth and the Life.. we have a higher calling from above- Our heavenly Father deserves and commands all praise and worship high above all that we could ever offer - we are to GLORIFY HIM...

Looking at the life of Paul- he was 'displayed' at a trial and he told his story.... he told of his One World and One Dream too and he summarised his task and purpose for his life as....
(Acts 26:16-18 ,23 ,29)
# "I was Given the Task to Rescue the World" (26:16-18)
# " I believe and Declare that Jesus Christ is the One and Only Risen Saviour of the World" (26:23)
# " I Want Everyone To Believe What I Believe" (26:29)

In Rev 12:11 says .... and the saints overcome him (the evil one) by the Blood of the Lamb and the Word of their testimony....

so being a child of the Living God, what is my dream about the world??? Is my dream in line with God's heart beat for the world??? What is the task that I am to accomplish???

Luke 8:39 ... return to your own house and TELL what great things God as done for you.... and he went his way and proclaimed throughout the whole city what great things Jesus has done for him....

1 Peter 3:15 ...but sanctify the Lord God in your hearts and always be ready to give a defense to anyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear...

Has God been faithful to me? Is He not the greatest thing that has ever happened in my life? Have I not tasted the goodness and the sweet honey in the Rock? I carry the greatest history in me- His Story- the story of Jesus Christ in me ....
Lord give me boldness and let me declare and proclaim Your Son Jesus to the world -

...in all that I say and every work that I do, I will give of my best back to Him because We are the Reason that You Gave Your Life...

and our prayer Lord is " Father make us one, Father make us one- that the world may know , Thou has sent Your Son, Father Make us One.....

Let us shine forth the light of the Torch of Life that has been ignited in us- be the light of the World....

Arise for this is the time and this is the hour for you to come forth and be the vessel to reach out to those whom He has given His life so that they may have life in Him... you are recruited in His great army.. play your part....

....when the brethren come and dwell in unity, we will command His blessings.....-His blessings to preach the gospel, to set the captives free, to make the blind to see....
