As Christians, we’re on a mission to saturate our world with the
knowledge of God’s saving power, and there’s a special anointing on us to
achieve this. 2 Corinthians 3:5-6 says, “…our
sufficiency is of God; who also hath made us able ministers of the new
testament….” Therefore, not only are we sent, we’ve been
empowered for the mission. Acts 1:8 says, “But
ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye
shall be witnesses unto me….” You’re
on a mission. The Lord Jesus emphasized this in Matthew 28:19 by saying, “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations….” You’re to witness to your friends, relatives, colleagues and
associates with the sole purpose of winning them to Christ.
Prayer
And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world,
and preach the gospel to every creature (Mark 16:15).
The Gospel will only prevail and produce results in men’s lives
if they get the opportunity to hear it, for
only then can they believe. Romans 10:12-15 says, “…How then shall they call on him in whom they have not
believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and
how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they
be sent?....”
You’re that sent one—anointed and commissioned of God to take
the Gospel to the world. Value those in
your world, and all those that God sends your way; minister the Gospel to them
at every opportunity, for you’re God’s voice to them. You’re the dispenser of
His goodness and righteousness.
I give thanks to you, blessed Father, for granting me
divine strength, courage, and power to be effective as a soul winner. Thank you
for counting me worthy and appointing me to serve as a minister of reconciliation—winning the lost in my world—turning
them from darkness to light, and bringing them into their inheritance in Christ, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
