The Why, and The How, of The Great Commission
More people would call on the Lord if they knew how good He is. They can’t know how good He is without His servants fulfilling the command of reconciliation. In a nutshell, we are to get saved, renew our minds with God’s word, go through faith testing, and then go out and grow God’s family. As we go we need to understand our authority in Christ, and our armour must be in place for resistance from the evil we will encounter (Ephesians 6:10-18). The Lord gives us the faith to believe Jesus is Lord and Savior of our lives at the time of the sinner’s prayer, when we lead someone to Christ. Many don’t want to receive Him, and that’s unfortunately their deadly choice. Today thank God for the Internet which means we can go into all the world and preach the gospel without physically going. There must be the normal person to person ministry as well. The Bible says always be ready to give a word in season and out of season (2 Timothy 4:2). Those times you find yourself in the middle of a conversation before you realize it was going to happen, are many times open doors for ministry. You trying to figure out during the conversation why is this person pouring out their guts to me. It’s a cry for help without them asking, and our sensitivity to our Lord is important in that moment. Satan has many agnostic people around influencing the darkness, and terminating belief in God. God’s faith believing servant, equipped with the power of God can destroy that influence. Help them believe, make sure they’ve heard, and preach and teach the gospel to everyone you can.
