The Great Commission

Oh it’s so nice to see you visit this site again beloved. Are you thrilled at your encounter with the living Christ? I am so excited for you. And I know you’ve been studying. God bless and prosper you and crown all your efforts with success. It’s time to follow the great commission. Yes your ready now. You have been reading the book of John. And you began reading the other 3 Gospels; becoming thoroughly acquainted with our Lord and Savior. And I know you were obedient to him to be filled to over flowing with his precious Holy Spirit.
Each day now your practicing praying in other tongues after you pray in your regular language. Oh joy be upon you! Remember, thank God each day for those two prayers in the book of Ephesians. They are found in the first and third chapters, that he is continually opening your understanding and strengthening you with his mighty power and might. He’s a mighty God and well able to build you up an help you walk in all he promised. And also remember to thank God for every Christian that they receive just like you. For we are all the family Of God.
Let’s see now, the great commission is found in all four Gospels. Let’s look at it in the Gospel of Matthew.
Matthew 28:18 this time I left out saying chapter and the verse for this is the way it is written. To look up a certain passage the chapter is 28, then right after the colons is the verses that we’re looking for, verses 19 and 20
Matthew 28: 19, 20 (This is Jesus speaking to his followers:
19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Let’s look at the Great commission in the Gospel of Mark as well:
Mark 16: 15-18
Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
We see a little more detail in the Gospel of Mark than in Matthew.
Now every child of God is expected to share the good news. That means whether your a preacher or not, you can tell someone about Jesus and lead him or her into the family. Oh he has so much room for everyone who wants to come in. He doesn’t want anyone to be lost. God desires the earth to be filled with his children and the only way in is through Jesus. If you remember Jesus said in the Gospel of John 14:6, “Jesus answered and said I am the Way the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me” So it is very important to inform those around, (following the direction of the Spirit ) and what I mean by that is that The Holy Spirit will lead you in areas that men will receive. He will prompt you on the inside to speak now about Jesus or he will prompt you to hold your peace. Once again study the scriptures and see that he can successfully guide you into the right areas and men will listen. In the book of Luke 10:2 Jesus said, The harvest is great but the Laborers are few. That means there are not many willing to share the Love Of Jesus, they keep quiet about it. He goes on to say in that same verse pray the Lord of the harvest, that he would send laborers into his harvest. Okay, we are to pray this prayer. But my dear brother and sister we are to be available in whatever walk of life we’re in to open our mouths and share that same wonderful life we’ve received. In doing so, we are serving God in more ways than one. We serve him in thanking him daily that his family is filled with wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him. You see that part of the prayer In Ephesians chapter one and three. And now we are helping to increase the family of God by sharing with them what we have received. You don’t have to be well versed in the scriptures to tell how you received Jesus into your heart. But remember, you received the Holy Spirit to overflowing and have been practicing praying in your heavenly language or other tongues as well as in your regular language, so your well equipped. Lean on your Heavenly Father for his direction and you will receive it. Oh wow! I can’t wait to here of the testimonies you will share in the comments section. Okay stay alert God needs you. Work for him this way and you will receive what is known as a soul winners crown.
In the book of 1 Corinthians 9:24 we get a glimpse of it at as we run our race for Jesus Christ. Christ means the anointed one. Let’s look at this verse.
24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. 25 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. ( he’s talking about and incorruptible crown which the Lord himself will give us at that day.
When you win souls for the Lord, you will wear the most gorgeous crown. There are at least 5 crowns spoken of in the scriptures. Study much to find what belongs to you.
