The Fish Gate
Rick Warren-The Fish Gate
THE FISH GATE-PART 14

Today the worldwide Fish gate Needed Repair!

Also the gate was needed to repair it shows that how much the great commission or gospel work is being neglected by the churches today. The gospel work is in ruins through centuries around the world. Some nations are closed doors, some nations are half closed and some are ready to be closed. Is it not you and your church responsibility of Christian life to equip the saints for the cause of winning souls? You either pray or support by sending the missionaries to preach the gospel (Rom10:14-15) churches that
were existing since years are very reluctant to gospel work and sending missionaries and supporting them. Churches, Christian organizations, NGO’s and believers are to be mission oriented to reach the world. Neglecting the fish gate and winning souls by doing social welfare activities does please the Lord perfectly?

Great Man of God
If every family consecrates the first born child for the ministry there will a great soul winning in the world. Pastor Rick Warren is a great missionary of 21st century he supports both financially and sent more than 15000 missionaries to 197 countries of the world to preach the good-news.He is the man and his family living on reverse tithing means he lives on 10% of his income and gives back 90% of his income to the church or funding the fishing activities around the world.Truly the purpose driven life and church fulfilling the great commission of God.To know about reverse tithing please read an excerpt about the following from the words of Pastor Rick Warren:

Question: What is a “reverse tithe”?

Rick Warren: The Bible talks about giving 10% of your income to charity, to the Lord’s work. And so when Kay and I got married 32 years ago, we started giving 10% of everything we made to help other people. And at the end of the first year we raised it to 11%. At the end of our second year of marriage we raised it to 12%. In the third year we raised it to 13%. Now why were we doing this? We just wanted to learn to be generous. In fact, we didn’t tell anybody about it for over 30 years. Sometimes when we’d have a very successful year, we’d raise our giving three, four, five percent. And so we’re not at the point after 32 years of marriage, we give away 90% and we live on 10%. That has been a lot of fun.

Rick Warren
Great Blessings for the Kingdom of God
Now honestly the impact of what to do with the money was the easy thing – just give it away. The hard thing is what do I do with the fame? What did I do with the notoriety? Not the affluence, but the influence. And I was reading through the Psalms one day and I came upon Solomon’s Psalm – Psalm 72 – which is Solomon’s prayer for more influence. Now it’s an interesting prayer, and when you read it, it sounds like the most self-committed prayer you can imagine.

Solomon was the wisest man of the world, the wealthiest man in the world. He was the King of Israel in Israel’s apex in history. The divided kingdom; it was the kingdom that was the most expanded ever in history. And in that prayer Solomon says, “God, I want you to make me rich.” Not rich, he said, “I want you to make me famous. I want you to give me power. I want you to bless me. I want you to spread the fame of my name to many countries.”

The Purpose Driven Life
Rick Warren-The Purpose Driven Life
And it sounds very self-centered until you read why. And in that he says, “So that the king may support the widow and orphan; defend the defenseless; speak up for the oppressed; care for the immigrant, the foreigner.”

Today, he talked about the prisoner, the aged, the mentally handicapped. And basically what Solomon was saying there was that the purpose of influence is to speak up for those who have no influence. That was a very strong impact on my life, and I’ve committed my life to doing that very thing  using whatever affluence or whatever influence I have to make a difference and speak up for those who have no influence.
