The word for today is - Mandate !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Mandate ! 

 

We have an mandate, God gave to both man and woman the mandate, it is based in Genesis 1:28 which says, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” We are not to do anything immoral or that elevates man and dismisses God.The mandate is that we are to bring God’s truth to bear upon every area of human society, to politics, to government, to economics, to the schools, in our homes, and with our friends, all areas. Christianity is advanced through prayer and the proclamation of the gospel. It is this that we are commissioned to do. Read Matthew 28:18-20, And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. As Christ said, This is our mandate, we are caretakers of creation. It is not telling us to conquer the world. A godly culture is the result of godly belief and a heart transformed and subdued by the Word of God. Cultures change on a daily basis, but the Word of God endures forever. God doesn’t change, His word is forever. Now, there is a cultural mandate, though we must understand how the Bible defines culture and how cultures are changed. The kingdom of God is presently in the heart of a person and that is where it advances. The issue is always an inner transformation of the heart through faith in Christ. Now, if we live as hypocrites and fail to proclaim the true gospel we have fail. You see people get up and stay up to hear the news everyday, but the news that they are hearing is bad news. The word of God is good news , its a way out, so we have a command by God to preach, teach, and speak the good news everyday. God’s plan all along is that we would preach and speak the gospel, the good news! Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !
