BILLY ROGERS - MISSION STATEMENT
The foremost mission is to be "about my Fathers business"---PERIOD. Knowing by the Word..."All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made." (John 1:4)(Eph 1:3-5) I desire no more than to TRULY follow, love and serve Christ Jesus . (Matt 22:37) "What do you seek?" (John 1:37) I desperately seek the plans and purposes Father has for my life. I seek them through obedience and my personal relationship with Jesus. (Matt 6:33) I tried it my way in my own "understanding" (Prov. 3:5-6) for far to long, much like Jonah. But, by faith "out of weakness were made strong" (Heb 11:34) I seek to "abide" in Christ Jesus. (John 15:4) I seek to be a doer of the Word. (James 1:16-22) (Luke 11:28) I seek to spread the Gospel as a witness and by music. (Mark 1:17) I seek the secrets of the Lord revealed by the Spirit of God through His Word and revelation. (Jer 29:11-13) (Matt 7:7) (Eph 1:17). I seek the hidden truths and power hidden in Jesus parables (Matt 13:34-35) far past my salvation which Jesus made freely available through His ultimate sacrifice. I seek Christ to be Lord over my life not only Savior. I seek to maintain "clean hands and a pure heart" (PS. 24:4) "His secret is with the righteous" (Prov 3:32) I seek to possess the full riches of Christ no matter the cost. (John 15:20) . Meaning, I DON'T want just enough faith to get by. I seek to worship. (John 4:23-24) I seek to continually and fervently press from an outer court existence to an inner court / upper room experience through Christ Jesus. (Rom 12:11) I seek wisdom and counsel in my courses of action. I seek to cross all denominational and ethnic barriers in ministry. (Luke 9:50) I seek to be a watchman on the wall. I seek to be "in the world not of the world." I seek to please the Lord and be "about my Father's business" not be a pleaser of people. By seeking such a faithful and intimate relationship with Father whether I am praised or criticized by people I desire it to not affect me either way. I seek to glorify and worship the Lord in all things. I seek transparency and the power of the Holy Ghost. (Mark 16:16-18) (Dan 11:32) (John 4:48) "greater works then these shall you do in my name" I seek the "spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him" (Eph 1:17) I seek to be like flavorful salt. (Mark 9:50) I seek to feed the sheep. (John 21:16-17) I seek to visit the prisoner's. (Matt 25:36) "I was in prison and you came to me." I seek "to go out into the highways and hedges and compel them to come in" (Luke 14:22). To "show mercy to those who's faith is waivering" (Matt 16:19). "Rescue those by snatching them from the flames" (Jude 1:22-23). I seek to have "I" stay out the operating procedures of my Fathers business unless directed by the offices and authority of Father , Son and Holy Ghost. (1John 5:7) I seek to give all glory and honor to the great "I AM". I seek to bless and serve (Matt 20:28). I seek to operate only and fully in my gifts. I seek the King of King's and Lord of Lord's. (Rev 19:11-16) Last but not least, I seek daily in missions and stewardship great or small, at the end of the day when I say, Father am I pleasing You, my soul rejoices at His reply! |
