The Missionary as a Son - Theodore Andoseh - Bog

The Missionary as a Son is a keynote lecture delivered by the author to missionary candidates during a transformative session at the School of Knowing and Serving God, the esteemed missionary training institution of Christian Missionary Fellowship International The message unravels the essence of being a missionary son and provides invaluable guidance on how to embrace and put on this identity.
Drawing inspiration from the Lord Jesus Christ-the ultimate example-the author illuminates the core principles of becoming a missionary son. Jesus, as both the Son of God and the Son of Man, devoted His entire existence to accomplishing the work entrusted to Him by His Father, thus bringing glory to God.
In this divine blueprint, God reveals His design for the missionary enterprise, thus, He expects every missionary to begin their journey as sons, both of God and of man. The pathway to truly belong to a man is through complete allegiance to God. To accurately relate to a man of God, one must first understand how God speaks and relates to that individual. Admiration forms the foundation of sonship; for without admiration, one fails to perceive the glory indwelling in another person. It is through this natural process that we emulate those we admire.
Ministry is the natural overflow of a genuine relationship with God. Spiritual union and communion with the Divine inevitably bear fruit in the form of impactful ministry. As you embark on this enlightening and transformative journey, may your heart be open to the cry enshrined in these pages-a heartfelt plea for God to perform spiritual heart surgeries in the lives of all missionaries and missionary candidates, birthing in them a profound transformation that molds them into missionary sons, mirroring the character and example of Christ.
