\nBy Joel Iyorwa<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cNow I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry.\u201d Romans 11:13 (RSV)<\/p>\n

In my several years of being involved in mobilization, I have had the opportunity of interacting with hundreds of young people. The general perception found among this emerging generation of believers is that missions is some kind of third-rate or low-grade career path.<\/p>\n

Message bearers are associated in many places, by many people, with drop-outs, those who couldn\u2019t make good grades in college, or those who couldn\u2019t get a place on the so-called professional courses in university.<\/p>\n

In fact, some even dare to say it is the sort of ministry path we assign to those who are not all that important to the life of the local church.<\/p>\n

The vibrant, strong and mature guys stay at home and serve on the Church leadership team and help the pastor, while those who are \u2018disposable\u2019 can be released for missions.<\/p>\n

Recently, I was surprised when a godly woman I know, called my attention to the \u2018misbehaviour\u2019 of her son, whom she claimed has decided to \u2018waste his life and education\u2019 by becoming a message bearer(missionary) instead of getting a job in the city.<\/p>\n

I also personally had a \u201cconcerned woman\u201d as she called herself, ask me \u201cdon\u2019t you think you\u2019re wasting your life?\u201d<\/p>\n

To be fully involved in missions, rather than taking up a corporate job and earning a fat salary is considered \u201ca waste.\u201d Not every one might call it a waste, but most think it is not high on the list of great things to do with one\u2019s life.<\/p>\n

There are countless number of cases like this that we all have come across that have skewed the balances of nobility and worthiness in disfavor of missions and message bearer service.<\/p>\n

When we reflect deeply on why missions continues to rank so low on the career options for many people, we cannot help but notice the extent to which we have bent to worldly standards of successful living. We have done the exact thing scripture warns us not to do: \u201cbe not conformed to the patterns of this world\u201d (Rom 12:2).<\/p>\n

But God sees things differently. While the world defines success and greatness by tangible, physical things, God
\ndefines it by spiritual and eternal values. In God\u2019s order, which supersedes our human ideas, only things that have value beyond this world are truly important.<\/p>\n

True success and greatness in God\u2019s eyes therefore is one\u2019s relative progression in those things with value in eternity, beyond time.<\/p>\n

Unless we begin to see as God sees, we will always make the terrible mistake of buying into the world\u2019s idea that life is wasted when it is spent pursuing the glory of God among the nations and successful when it is spent pursuing personal comfort and economic power.<\/p>\n

The only man who ever stooped low to be a message bearer was Jesus. He stooped low so that everyone else can step-up and step higher into co-laboring with Him for the glory and praise of God in the earth.<\/p>\n

Jesus left the glory of heaven, and of being God, to become flesh and dwell among us to bring us the hope of salvation and reconciliation with the Father.<\/p>\n

To join Jesus in this labor is not to stoop low. It is to step into honor and into a higher value system, too high for the standards of this world.<\/p>\n

The American dream pales in comparison to God\u2019s dream of all nations becoming blessed as they worship Him. Like Mary, each time the alabaster jar of a young life is \u201cbroken and poured out\u201d to the Lord in sacrificial cross-cultural labor, it is considered a \u2018waste\u2019 and thought of as foolishness by the world.<\/p>\n

In Paul\u2019s letter to the Philippians we find the anecdote to this sad trend. Paul spoke about \u2018magnifying his office\u2019 or his ministry.<\/p>\n

He was called to go and serve the Gentiles at a time when it was hugely unpopular and even dangerous to do so. The secret to Paul\u2019s unwavering consistency and faithfulness in that calling was that he was always \u2018magnifying\u2019 it.<\/p>\n

What did Paul mean when he said \u201cI magnify my ministry\u201d and how can we do the same today? The word Paul uses here is the Greek word \u2018megaluno\u2019 meaning \u201cto make large\u201d, \u201cto grow\u201d or \u201cmake greater.\u201d It is the verb form of the word \u2018mega\u2019 \u2013 big, large, great.<\/p>\n

This is the idea when we say things like megapixel or megachurch. The real idea of \u2018megaluno\u2019 is in English as someone has said, to \u201cmegatize\u201d, i.e., making something big.<\/p>\n

Magnifying missions does not mean having an inaccurate, exaggerated, falsified and unrealistic perception about our work not like a magnifying glass or microscope but to make clearer, to bring closer so as to see better, to see it as big as it truly is like a telescope or binoculars.<\/p>\n

God must take away our myopic vision and perception about missions and give us a telescopic vision.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
