GENERATION 31: Becoming The Bride That Changes The WorldPrimjer

The word Hospital was not always associated with medical care. Hospitalia, the earliest form of Hospital, was used to describe houses early Christians established that provided a caring home for strangers and pilgrims, many of them poor and destitute. As cities grew and time went on, Christians began to use Hospitals as places of rest and care for cast-off members of society—the poor, the elderly, the orphaned, and, eventually, the sick. Christians saw the care they provided in Hospitals a practical, tangible extension of their spiritual gifts. 

Thanks to the diligence of the early Church, Hospitals have become centers where cancers are cured, babies are born, and healing is possible. Because the Bride took a leap to establish a solution to a problem and provided a way to care for others, an entire industry was birthed and hundreds of thousands of lives have been saved. 

There are many areas where the Church tends to wait until things become safe and familiar before venturing out. By the time what was once revolutionary has become commonplace, many of the problems She could have provided God-breathed solutions for having been patched over with human quick-fixes. What if we “got up” before the rest of the World awakened to a need, took a leap to provide the solution to that need, and left God’s fingerprints over entire industries? Today, take time to explore solutions to the problems that God may have shown you.
