The generation comprises of individuals from different walks of life some students, teachers, professionals and entrepreneurs who have been emboldened by the message which the Lord spoke so very clearly to us and that is to boldly go and reclaim those souls who have been lost to the evil wiles of Satan.
As the word of the Lord declares in Matthew 16:19:
I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven”

This is a mammoth task, but we need to understand that the Lord Jesus demands(and not just requests) full support and responsibility from us;
“from everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked”.
Luke 12:48
For to us has been given the responsibility to ensure that:
“You will not let the Holy One see decay” Acts 13:35.
The Lord Jesus is very clear when he says that those who believe shall do greater works than what this world has already seen: He says:
“verily, verily, I say unto you, he that believeth on me, the works I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do… " John 14: 12-15
No Waiting!
We cannot wait!! As the time to wait is over.
It is very urgent and timely brothers and sisters that we do not delay as it is high time we undertake his work as the Lord Jesus states:
“we must work the works of him that sent me while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work” John 9: 3,4
We have to advance as it is now or never for us: The word says:
And he ordered the people, "Advance! March around the city, with the armed guard going ahead of the ark of the LORD." Joshua 6:7
“The Flame”
The idea for such an enterprise germinates from the Lord Jesus when he wishes
“I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled” Luke 12:49
“There is in my heart. a burning fire” Jeremiah 20:9
We need to kindle this fire for redemption and in the process start convicting and gathering souls! There exist many thirsty souls in this world that need to be saved and hence gathered for the harvest. (Remember the additional laborers the Lord asks for his Harvest!)
We have to ask the Lord for wisdom as it will be required in abundance, for planning, organizing, communicating etc. We need to know that the path we tread is right (the manner of going about his work). We have to ask the Lord for the correct path right now! : As the Lord guides:
“Look carefully how you walk, not as unwise, but as wise, redeeming time" Ephesians 5: 15, 16
Once again time is of essence as it has to be redeemed and put to use for the right purpose. The time has arrived and we must work true and fast.
Never worry!
Although the task ahead will test our mental, physical and spiritual strength to the very hilt, the Lord has screened us from the prince of darkness who masquerades as an angel of light:
“Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I shall fear no evil, for thou art with me thy rod and staff strengthen me” Psalms 23:4
We need to ask of the Lord and effective way of overcoming the guiles of this world, then and only then is the true will of the Lords task evidenced and rewarded. The Lord says;
“suffer hardship with me, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus, No soldier on service entangleth himself with the affairs if this life; that he may please him who enrolled him as a soldier”
II Timothy 2:3,4
The word and the Spirit of the Lord will strengthen our enterprise.
Us! And You!!!
"You are my war club, my weapon for battle— with you I shatter nations, with you I destroy kingdoms, Jeremiah 51:20 .
It is we brothers and sisters who have to be the weapon for this battle. The instrument and the battering ram which shatters the stronghold of the evil one.
The Win!
Victory is ours! And no one can deny us the sweet fruits of this Battle provided we believe and trust in this enterprise and above all the Lord who has given it to us.
