Osobe mira

1. LUKA 10:6 – Otvorena osoba
OSOBA MIRA  – Osoba koju je Bog suvereno pripremio da primi evanđelje još pre vašeg dolaska.

U našem mentalitetu je oduvek važilo pravilo „sej, sej, sej, pa onda žanji“. Isus uči i pokazuje da najpre žanješ, pa tek onda seješ (naročito u oikosu osobe koja je požnjevena).


 * Bog tamo suvereno postavlja Osobu mira. Ako ona nije tu, onda idite u drugo područje.


 * Tražite dok ne nađete njegovu Osobu mira.

Dakle, napravite pažlljivo plan i strategiju, ali ih držite labavo u ruci da bi Božiji Duh mogao da vas usmerava.


 * Ovaj princip je dobro ilustrovan u Kornelijevom obraćenju.


 * Ovaj princip je dobro ilustrovan u Lidijinom obraćenju.


 * Ovaj princip je dobro ilustrovan u obraćenju tamničara.

Sva tri slučaja pokazuju da najpre dolazi žetva, pa tek onda setva u njihovim domaćinstvima, a i šire. To je SVE od Boga. Setva NIJE bila prva ni u jednom od ova tri slučaja.

2. Osoba sa reputacijom
They are people of a known reputation, either good or bad.

Mark 5 – Jesus lands at Gadara and is greeted by a demoniac who is violent, naked, in broken chains, and has a horrible reputation, BUT God has sovereignly placed him there – ready for the Gospel. He is not one that we would normally see as a “Person of Peace” but he became that. (Remember – manure makes good soil.)

This man, after release and conversion, begs/entreats Jesus to permit him to go with them.

The town’s people and owners of the swine beg/entreat Jesus to leave the area.

Jesus sends him back to Decapolis to “tell”.

In Mark 7, Jesus returns to Decapolis and now the same people beg/entreat Jesus to stay and touch their sick, paralyzed, etc.

The Demoniac’s “oikos” had seen a changed man. He was now a Godly “Man of Peace” proclaiming Jesus (and notice – he probably had only a few minutes of discipling).

3. A Person of Referral
Ever notice that ALL fish “school”? Scientists call the lead fish that turns first “the fish of reference”.

Ever seen a fish school accident? No collisions or accidents.

The “Person of Peace” becomes the “fish of reference” and he TURNS FIRST in his ethne/group.

Through this ONE, God will “turn” an entire “oikos”.

Take your time and LOOK for the Person of Peace!
