When sluggard Christians hesitated in obeying the great commission, to “Go”, God used globalization and the corporate to move, especially Indian Christians out of their comfortable Christian colonies to the corporate!

“ I am not asking you to take them out of the world, but that you keep them safe from the evil one. They do not belong to the world just as I do not belong to the world. Set them apart in the truth; your word is truth. Just as you sent me into the world, so I sent them into the world.” (John 17:15-18)

3 ALL’s
Go into ALL the world and preach the Gospel. Which definitely calls us to preach the gospel in the corporate world.
Wherever I go, whichever company I work I am called to “preach the gospel”.

“Then the devil, taking Him up on a high mountain, showed Him ALL the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said to Him, “ALL this authority I will give You, and their glory; for this has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish.”” (Luke 4:6-8)
Are you hunting behind “Success” or submitting to “Serve” the Lord at the workplace?

A free flowing river purifies itself and is alive with life. So also is the Christian who becomes involved with others in sharing the Gospel. That Christian will discover the reason for his or her existence. Being involved in the ministry of a witness is essential to finding the fulfilment we desire as humans.

“But I want you to know, brethren that ALL that happened to me have actually turned out for the furtherance of the gospel”.

“the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!”
