The message for today - " The Great Commission !"

Good afternoon to the beloved Children of God

The message for today - " The Great Commission !"

Is this true or false, these words were given to every follower of Jesus, If I am His disciple, I am commanded to go and make disciples of others right? On the other hand, if I am not making disciples of others, then I am not being the disciple God called me to be, is this True or False ? The Great Commission refers to several passages in the Gospel of Matthew, where Jesus Christ urges his apostles to make “disciples of all the nations” and “baptize” them in the name of the Father and of the Son and the Holy Spirit. Do you believe God's Word don't be afraid to share the "Good News. It's in Joshua 1:9,"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." This Mandate is to "make disciples of all nations" given by Christ to his disciples following his death and resurrection. In the book of Matthew 28:16-20, Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Now look at that again, Jesus told them to go and make disciples, we have to be moving forward sharing the "Good News" with others. Next question, are you doing your part in fulfilling the Great Commission Yes or No? The Great Commission is our Lord's command to take the gospel to every person throughout the world and to make disciples in all nations. It involves building and multiplying disciples in all nations so that they can, saturate their nations with the "Good News" too. So, He ( Jesus) called his disciples and the crowds to come over and listen. “If any of you wants to be my follower,” he told them, “you must put aside your own pleasures and shoulder your cross, and follow me closely. If you insist on saving your life, you will lose it. Only those who throw away their lives for my sake and for the sake of the Good News will ever know what it means to really live. And how does a man benefit if he gains the whole world and loses his soul in the process? For is anything worth more than his soul? And anyone who is ashamed of me and my message in these days of unbelief and sin, I, the Messiah, will be ashamed of him when I return in the glory of my Father, with the holy angels. The commission is not to wait for the world to come to us; it is to go into all of world and share the "Good News." Our responsibility is to preach and share the gospel; it's the Holy Spirit that makes us effective by God's Word. However, Jesus Christ also gave us everything necessary for success in Him. If we want to obey Him, He says, “Go,” and that is sufficient reason for going. The Great Commission is enabled by the power of the Holy Spirit. We are to be Christ’s witnesses, fulfilling the Great Commission with our families, our kids, neighbors, governors, mayors, cities, anywhere else God sends us to the ends of the earth. Heavenly Father let us apply, Lamentations 3:40,Let us examine our ways and test them, and let us return to the Lord. Let us walk by faith not by sight daily. For there is no doubting in God's Word, the Gospel is the Living Word. Amen!

Scriptures to Meditate on this week :

1 John 3:1-3,See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. All who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure.

 ​

1 John ​5:1-5,​Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the father loves his child as well. This is how we know that we love the children of God: by loving God and carrying out his commands. In fact, this is love for God: to keep his commands. And his commands are not burdensome, for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.​
