If God is telling you that your films will go to UNUSUAL & UNCOMMON PLACES, dont hold back.
If He is asking you to “cook” it in a way that is UNIQUE. GO AHEAD!
AS LONG AS YOU CONFORM TO HIS MANUAL, THE DOCTRINE AND RULES OF MAN DO NOT MATTER.
Man is LIMITED in understanding. It is God that is all knowing.
Something that is condemned by man today, might be embraced tomorrow. STAY TRUE TO YOUR CONVICTIONS.
I remember when the FULL GOSPEL BUSINESS MEN FELLOWSHIP INTERNATIONAL started, some christians attacked the MOVE. Simply because they felt why should christians go to hotels!!
But what God has used and is using the FGBMFI to do is there for every one to see.
Same with the model parish of RCCG.Thank God for the vision. Thank God for how God used it to reach more souls FOR HIMSELF!!
Many people resist a new move due to many reasons:
1. Fear
2. Ignorance
3. Loss of influence etc
But let us HUMBLE ourselves before the Almighty, and know that God speaks to other people too. THE FACT THAT YOU DONT SEE OR HEAR IT, DOES NOT MEAN ITS NOT THERE!
This is the testimony of a member of K.I.C.C London:
“You just broke a BIG and SERIOUS record sir…. I have been coming to KICC full time since 2009 and this is the first time such thing as this (showing of SIMS clip ) will happen. Congratulations sir.”
The way God has opened great doors for the GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST through this film, S.I.M.S should make us (CHRISTIAN FILM MAKERS ) REJOICE & BE HAPPY.
That God is blessing lives in EVERY WAY POSSIBLE should be a thing of JOY for us all.
Is that not the whole essence of the birth, death & resurrection of Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour?!
ACTS 5: 34-39
But a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, who was honored by all the people, stood up in the Sanhedrin and ordered that the men be put outside for a little while.
Then he addressed the Sanhedrin: “Men of Israel, consider carefully what you intend to do to these men. Some time ago Theudas appeared, claiming to be somebody, and about four hundred men rallied to him. He was killed, all his followers were dispersed, and it all came to nothing.
After him, Judas the Galilean appeared in the days of the census and led a band of people in revolt. He too was killed, and all his followers were scattered.
Therefore, in the present case I advise you: Leave these men alone! Let them go! For if their purpose or activity is of human origin, it will fail.
But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourselves fighting against God.”
