Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 28:
18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.
19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
Many of us have thought in the past that only some great evangelistic ministries were given this commission thus we were off the hook. Shouldn’t we be a testimony to whomever and wherever we find ourselves? You don’t have to take a flight to Africa in order to find people of those countries. Many are simply at the local mall or public event.
How are we to make disciples? By reflecting Jesus in our word and deed, then allow the Holy Spirit to draw men unto us and share HIs Agape Love with them. FATHER has given each us of the ability to minister Life unto this dying world. There are countries in great upheaval as the ever-changing landscape of politics associated with man’s carnal systems try to solve problems only FATHER can resolve. We must be ready at any time to minister Love and Life to those who will seek us out. What they trusted in the past will disintegrate before their eyes and their hope will become non-existent until we share the Hope of the world with them.
Does this put pressure on you and me? Not in the least. Mark wrote by THE SPIRIT in chapter 16:
19 So then, after the Lord had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.
20 And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs.
We can be assured that FATHER will confirm HIS Word by accompanying signs as we walk according to HIS mandate. What a blessing to have a purpose backed by Heaven! Everything we do should move us toward the light, life, and Love. Let us do each task today with a sense of purpose, even though it may seem mundane. Let our lives express Love and blessing as testimonies to others so that they can see Christ in us. Let each day bring this world closer to the reality of Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever.
