"Now I want you to know, brothers and sisters,that what has happened to me has actually served to advance the gospel."
Philippians 1:12 New International Version, NIV
The event that occurred or ended up happening to apostle Paul was him having been imprisoned in Rome. For even as apostle Paul wrote to the saints in Philippi, it is quite amazing that in this one verse, which is the foundational passage of Scripture for Landy's Gospel Creations-LGC, it shows how a seemingly inopportune and complex situation actually can be used as a time when God can allow us to still yet 'advance the Gospel.'
Sure, we may not be imprisoned as apostle Paul was, but just to know that he did not allow his current condition to cause him to lose sight on what he was suppose to be doing, is a great testimony in and of itself.
For us it could be a financial bind, a physical ailment, selfishness, greed, or even the lack of confidence, low self-esteem, or some other challenge of some sort that may be causing us to lose sight on what is most important, 'advancing the Gospel of Jesus Christ.'
See, the thing is, we have what we need at every given moment and time within this life in order to get the job done. The reason how I know this is because of what apostle Paul wrote in Romans 12:3 (NIV), where he said, "For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith." The measure of faith mentioned here is to work for each individual what it needs to work for him or her at each and every given time.
Furthermore, I simply say, let us work our faith and in so doing, begin to see the power of God really moving in our lives.
Moreover, it is with great honor that we announce Landy's Gospel Creations'-LGC's, 5th anniversary! Though throughout these five years it has not always been easy, it is with much joy that we celebrate an up-and-coming non-profit organization now turning into a corporation. Blessings the more upon LGC for many, many more years of "Advancing the Gospel through faith in Jesus Christ."
