Pastor Chris
...Go ye into all the world, and
preach the gospel to every creature (Mark 16:15).
Matthew 28:19-20 says, "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 always, even unto the end of the world. Amen." This
is the Great Commission; and it’s the Lord’s charge to every Christian. You’re
to preach the glorious Gospel of Christ; it’s the power of God unto salvation
to everyone that believes (Romans 1:16).
Nothing in the world should mean more to you than leading men and women
to Christ. 2 Peter 3:9 tells us that the Lord is unwilling that any man should
perish; rather, He wants all to hear and receive the Gospel and be saved.
When the Master instructed us to preach and teach all nations, He wasn’t
just referring to countries; He meant different ethno-systems: the different
groupings or companies of people with common interests, trade, vision or
characteristics. For example, the world of bankers, lawyers, students, traders,
the academia, etc., these are "nations" of people with common
interests. You’re to take your place as a minister of
reconciliation, wherever you are, and ensure those in your world, and in
the regions beyond hear and receive the message of salvation.
Like the Apostle Paul, necessity is laid upon you to preach the Gospel
(1 Corinthians 9:16); so become fervent in soul winning. Realize that you’re
the preacher in your world: in your home, office, school, and in your
neighbourhood. The Lord has anointed you to deliver men from bondage into the
glorious liberty of the sons of God, turning them from darkness to light, and
from sin unto righteousness! Talk to somebody about Jesus today!
Prayer Dear Father, I thank you for the
privilege and opportunity to minister your Word with power today. I thank you
for the abundant grace you’ve granted me to be effective in the ministry of the
Gospel, as I make manifest the beauty and power of your knowledge in every
place, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
