Lessons learnt from "Always Enough" by Rolland & Heidi Baker

I. Overview of Book
This book is pretty much a book of testimonies mainly of their ministry in Mozambique and how God has been faithful in multiplying food, providing financially, healing the sick, lame, blind, deaf, and even raising the dead. It is amazing to read about how desperately intimate they are to God and how they are always following the guidance of the Holy Spirit every step of the way. The book also covers earlier recollections of their lives, how they met together and has been faithfully serving God's calling through the different countries, cultures and languages. 

II. 2 points learnt from the book. 
A. Always enough. Just like the title of the book, this seems to be a repeated theme that both Rolland and Heidi keeps reiterating in the book. No matter what sort of problems they are having, how little they have, how sick they are, how tired they are, how hungry they are, there is always enough. God's love, glory, Joy, strength and provision Will always be enough. Their reliance and faithfulness to God's leading, answers and timing is truly inspirational.  

B. Another great lesson to learn from the book is that faith without work is dead. Our faith and religion are worthless if we ignore the physical needs of those in need around us. If we are truly living disciples of God, we would be seeking Him heart earnestly. His heart breaks for those people living miserably in sub-standard conditions and injustices, not aware of His love and Grace for them and the sacrifice He has done for Him where all sickness, darkness, bondages etc has been defeated. So if we are going to be His disciples then we would have to take actions upon the injustices

III. Discuss an aspect of God's character. 
 God is seen to be absolutely Sovereign in all of His ways in the book. Miracles upon miracles He granted. The sick were healed. The lame walked. The blind saw. The deaf heard. The dead raised. Food that seemed few and scarce became enough. Funds miraculously being sent from the other side of the World at the most perfect timing when they were about to purchase a tent and the stories goes on and on. 

He doesn't always perform physical Miracles. He also worker through the workers healing emotional pains of the people they worker with. These workers mentioned in the book really worked through God's eyes. Loving people and children like God Himself does. The pouring out of the Holy Spirit is eminent and central to the works of these people. 

IV. Discuss a quote/paragraph from the book. 
"Just focus on His face. You Will only make it to the end if you can focus on His face. Focus on His beautiful face. You cant feed the poor, you cant go to the street, you cant see anything happen unless you see His face. One glance of His eyes, and we have all it takes to Lie Down. We're not afraid to die." page 177

When it comes to living a life in missions, people need to keep their focus on Jesus. When they start to rely on others' approvals then they will run dry soon enough. Men can be guaranteed to fail to meet our needs at some point. God won't. He told us not to fear and to rely on Him. The strength, wisdom and ability to sustain such position in the 'missionary world' can only be graciously and freely be granted by God. 

Working in the mission field also requires the worker to put everything they have down at the cross of Jesus. Everything. Including one's own life. Which is all the more reason why we should really rely on God and make Him the central and sole focus.
