Jacqueline Bryony Lucy, known as Jackie Pullinger, is a British missionary to Hong Kong and founder of the St Stephen’s Society. She has been ministering in Hong Kong since 1966 when she arrived there as a 22 year old college graduate.
Jackie’s original plan was to serve as a missionary in Africa, but then she had a dream that impressed upon her to go to Hong Kong. Arriving there, she began her ministry in the infamous walled city of Kowloon which was known as the most densely populated city on earth. It was called the “City of Darkness,” because the buildings were so packed together that no sunlight could penetrate the narrow street ways.
This city was one of the world’s largest opium producing centers, ran by Chinese criminal Triad gangs. It was not policed and was a haven of crime and sin.
To this fearsome place came Jackie Pullinger to begin her missionary work. She established a youth centre to help the drug addicts and street sleepers.
Miraculously, she was able to get many gang boys saved and transformed. Over the years Jackie’s efforts led to an amazing degree of success. She set up the St. Stephen’s Society, which is one of the most successful organizations in the world today in rescuing hundreds of young people from a life of misery on the streets.
Jackie Pullinger’s amazing story is contained in her classic autobiography ‘Chasing the dragon’.
To do the work of the Lord, we need supernatural boldness. This is because, we may be called to places where we will face fearful situations, be confronted by giants and fight tough battles. But through faith in God, we can accomplish incredible things.
We must never limit what God can do in our lives. When Israel was about to take the promised land, God gave Joshua charge to be strong and courageous. The taking over of the land would be determined based on the state of the mind. God commanded him to meditate on the Word day and night, by so doing he would be victorious and not be afraid or dismayed.
Likewise to possess our promised land and come into our calling, we must be filled with faith and boldness through God’s Word. It doesn’t matter how formidable or impossible the outward conditions, what matters is how strong the faith within us. Jesus has given us the power to tread upon serpents and scorpions and over every power of the enemy and He said nothing shall by any means hurt us.
Though we may sometimes face intimidating situations, the greater One who lives in us will always help us overcome. To break forth to greater heights, we must not let fear stop us from taking bold steps. The truth is, when you move by faith and do what you can do, God will step in and do what you can’t do.
When you do the natural, God will do the supernatural.
Always remember, you are created to be a difference-maker and trail blazer in the world. With God on your side, surely nothing will be impossible for you to accomplish.
PRAYER: Lord, please enable me to meditate constantly on Your Word so that I can be strong and courageous to possess my inheritance and truly break forth on every side this year in Jesus Name. .
