After the special congratulations from Pastor Bose,the hero himself came on stage.After receiving a lot of gifts he also decided to present his gift ofa short word as a treat to all who where present:
“The older I get, the more I m aware that we are created in order to adequately represent God on earth, to bring salvation to as many people as possible and save humanity from hell. Everything else is secondary.
Today, the world and our environment are uses everything possible to divert us from this goal, to confuse us with temporary enjoyment and to lead many astray. So we all need to stay sober, focused on God and receive the current and constant pleasure and satisfaction from a loving relationship with Him.
Fulfilling the Great Commission on earth is not just enough to have a God within oneself. You need to work with maximum effort for him to glorify his name. And only in this case, God will be glorified by Himself, but will glorify us also.
My life is a confirmation of this truth. Would you have know me today, if, God had not held its “information campaign” regarding me 17 years ago? What could inspire him on to make me famous today? My fanatic efficiency and efforts used on the distribution of His kingdom on earth.
Let us become not just co-workers in the field of God, but the real hard workers!
With such a wish was the conclusion of of the celebration service at the central.
Be blessed!
