In this video, Pastor Ted #Wilson shares a special message on being an #innovator. Over the years, many books have been written, seminars given, and papers presented suggesting new and exciting ways of reaching people for #Christ. Innovation can be good, bringing life and new energy into soul winning. To be effective, however, it needs to be based on clear #Bible principles, principles upon which heaven can approve.
“Innovation,” according to one definition, is “a new idea, creative thoughts, new imaginations in form of device or method.”[i] To be innovative is to be creative. God Himself is the Ultimate Innovator!
Throughout history, God has continually used innovative methods to accomplish His purposes. But the height of innovation—a Baby, placed in a humble manger, later nailed to a cross to save a race—the human race—that did not know Him. the “new birth” offered through God’s innovative plan, God promises to give us power to become sons and daughters of God. Before ascending to heaven, Jesus promised His disciples the gift of the Holy Spirit, promising them power to be His witnesses “to the end of the earth” (Acts 1:8). Once this gift was received, Christ’s followers turned “the world upside down.”
Today God still works through innovative means—sometimes in spectacular ways, but often through very simple methods—a knock on the door, a genuine smile, a healing touch, a warm meal, a caring message, an interesting Bible study, a deep conversation, a listening ear—God’s means are limitless, the only limit He has is our willingness to go—to be His hands, His feet.
As we move forward in faith, God, the great Innovator, will open doors, showing us His best ways of reaching the world at this time. When we surrender to the guidance of the Holy Spirit, there is no limit to what God can and will do through His Church and through you in Total Member Involvement right now.
