The Great Commission

¹⁶ Then the eleven disciples left for Galilee, going to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. ¹⁷ When they saw him, they worshiped him—but some of them doubted!

¹⁸ Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. ¹⁹ Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. ²⁰ Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

 4 I solemnly urge you in the presence of God and Christ Jesus, who will someday judge the living and the dead when he appears to set up his Kingdom: ² Preach the word of God. Be prepared, whether the time is favorable or not. Patiently correct, rebuke, and encourage your people with good teaching.

³ For a time is coming when people will no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching. They will follow their own desires and will look for teachers who will tell them whatever their itching ears want to hear. ⁴ They will reject the truth and chase after myths.

⁵ But you should keep a clear mind in every situation. Don’t be afraid of suffering for the Lord. Work at telling others the Good News, and fully carry out the ministry God has given you.

⁶ As for me, my life has already been poured out as an offering to God. The time of my death is near. ⁷ I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful. ⁸ And now the prize awaits me—the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on the day of his return. And the prize is not just for me but for all who eagerly look forward to his appearing.

Joshua 24:15

¹⁵ But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”

Oh Church!!! We must get a glimpse of His Glory....

The view of the future is what will keep us going when times are tough.  Only Jesus knows what the future may hold for you and me, but He can sustain us in faith for the coming days ahead and give us courage to stand in His power and determination to hold steadfastly to the work that was completed on the cross.

The enemy would like to tear down the testimony of the church,  He wants to prey on our weaknesses, and use us as weapons against the very gospel we live and teach.

God grant us wisdom and knowledge to see the work of the enemy in our lives and bring us back to the word that we may become living epistles for all the world to see.

God we know we will never be perfect until that day when we shall see you, we shall then be like you but

 Lord you have modeled the example of your Love, Joy,

Peace, Patience, and Longsuffering, Lord help us to incorprate the values you have demonstrated into our hearts and lives, so those whom I love and lead may see more of you  by watching me.
