People, We Are Already United In Love!

By Daniel Zopoula | October 10, 2015 |

I am no stranger to public accusations and smearing, but through it, Christ has done a work in my heart so that such disapproval doesn’t affect me the way it once did. I guest, when your life doesn’t belong to you, survival is not required!

Our market-driven church culture is in decay. Our socio-political and economical system is collapsing too, thanks to the weight of corrupt lobbyists and greedy capitalists.  The criminal justice system has failed us. The moral compass that engenders humility, love, acceptance and forgiveness is skewed, we have violated the covenant of Love!

Only the united power of courageous and compassionate people of every tribe and nation can turn around these catastrophic realities. The dying man”s prayer was, “that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.”

Prophetic Pastors (always with their faults and blind spots) — in the market place and the meeting place — who tell the truth about unity deserve our critical support. The wicked shall be corrupt by flattery, but “those who know their God shall take action” Daniel 11:32

There is such a thing as being too late. This is no time for apathy or complacency. This is a time for vigorous and positive action.  Martin Luther King Jr.

I am taking action. We do not need to be the fear we have. In the spirit of brotherhood and love we must unite. I stand with the Evangelical, and the Charismatic, and the Episcopal/Sacramental. I stand with the persecuted church, I stand with the church from ages to ages.

Jesus said, “Mark my words, no one who sacrifices house, brothers, sisters, mother, father, children, land—whatever—because of me and the Message will lose out. They’ll get it all back, but multiplied many times in homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and land—but also in troubles. And then the bonus of eternal life! This is once again the Great Reversal: Many who are first will end up last, and the last first.” Mark 10:20-31 (MSG)

About Daniel Zopoula

Daniel is a is a provocative leader in Christian Practice. A long-distance runner in the struggle for justice, Daniel's journey is rooted in a rich African tradition of soulcraft that put a premium on Ancestor appreciation, gentle embrace of others, cultural manners and social justice. Though deeply wounded and perennially scarred by the traumatic circumstances that paved the realities of his upbringings, Daniel emerged with great dignity, decency and integrity, love, courage and humour; choosing social advocacy rather than a life of blind avarice and personal subservience. The sum realities of pervasive terror, chronic trauma and vicious stigma that was shot through the "soul-making" of young Daniel yielded his true passion to profoundly influence, lead and inspire people from all walks of life into positive change and bearing witness to love and justice. Daniel's story is a tale of a man courageous enough to be fully human, living and loving out loud: "When your life doesn't belong to you, survival is not required," he says. Daniel writes and speaks internationally on Christian Practice, Spiritual & Emotional Leadership, Inspiration, Personal & Organizational health, Family Systems, Trauma, and Emotional Wellness. Daniel is a personal growth, and spiritual health consultant; a Life Coach, Spiritual Adviser, Author, Speaker, Activist.
