Welcome to the month of November 2016: Our Month of Evangelism
Matthew 28:18-20; Mk.16:15-20 and Matthew 10:1
As I meditate on the prophetic direction the Lord has given to us for this month, I cannot help but imagine how important the last desire of a loved one expressed to us could be. Now just before the Lord tidied up His work on earth during his first advent, he left us with this very important instruction to make disciples of all nations before his soon return. Some of the early Church fathers like Apostle Paul have taken this instruction so seriously that it resulted in the entire Asia Minor hearing the Gospel in two years. This is an awesome report of victory considering the level of the media reach then. There were neither televisions nor satellites at this time. The people relied on one on one evangelism; and in two years, they had influenced the entire Asia Minor with the gospel.
A closer look at this instruction of the Lord would reveal to us that God’s intention for us is to become instruments in His hands to colonize the entire world to His glory. This was His original intention with the first Adam but Adam rebelled against Him and teamed up with his archenemy Satan. The result is the deplorable state the world is in today. Therefore God had to send the Lord Jesus Christ also known as the last Adam to redeem man to his original place of exercising dominion over the earth to the glory of God. The means by which God has done this is the death, burial and resurrection of the Lord on our behalf and our identification with Him through baptism. See 1Cor.15:21-22; Gen.2:15-17; Rm.6:4; Col.2:12 and 1Pet.3:21.
Now that we are saved from sin and consequently spiritual death, we have received a new mandate for dominion over the earth which mandated has a broader influence now as we stand and act in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. He said in Matthew 28:18 that all power in heaven and on earth has been delivered to him following His victory on the Cross and eventual resurrection by the faith of the operation of God the Holy Spirit. Now we are called to spread this great news around the world until the kingdom of this world is so saturated with the power of our God and His Christ that the colonization of earth by heaven can no longer be in doubt. In addition, people would no longer be confused as tp who is really in Charge here. Jesus Christ through His death burial and resurrection has raised for himself a nation of kings and priests unto our God and we are expected to reign with Him in the earth. See Rev.1:5-6; Rev.5:9-10 and Rm.5:17.
The bible says in Proverbs 14:28 that in the multitude of people is the King’s honour but in the want of people is the destruction of the prince. This explains why we must evangelize the world telling them the good news of our redemption and further disciple them to walk in the ways of God so that the entire earth would become filled with the knowledge of the glory of God as the waters cover the sea. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the GREAT COMMISSION. Our business as labourers in this end time global harvest season is to win the lost to the Lord and get them established in faith to the point they can repeat the cycle until all come to the saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. See Num.14:21; Isa.60:1-3; Isa.11:9; Hab.2:14; Mat.28:18-20; Mt.10:1-20; Lk.10:1-2 and Mk16:15-20.
This great month of evangelism is expected to trigger an unprecedented move of God that would cause all other moves of God yet to pale in significance. This time around, would witness the manifestation of the sons of God for which the entire creation has been awaiting as a woman in labour preceding the delivery of her child. This period is going to witness the transformation of lives with such divine speed and beauty that would cause the world to wonder after God and His Church.
In light of the foregoing, we are going to be looking at the bible way of winning the lost and getting them established in faith. We shall therefore learn how to preach the gospel with convincing signs and wonders so as to win the lost and disciple them for Christ so that indeed on His return, the Lord would find a people prepared.
In the event you are just hearing these truths for the first time or you may have been hearing them and never taken them seriously until now and want to do something about your life, you can do so immediately by saying the following prayer out loud in faith and you will be initiated into the family of God. You canalso follow up your salvation with a discipleship program by contacting us to that effect.
Heavenly Father,
Have mercy on me a sinner. Today, I believe that Jesus died for me and you raised Him from the dead for my Justification. I therefore declare that Jesus Christ is my Saviour and Lord and from today, I renounce the fatherhood of Satan and embrace Jesus Christ as my Saviour and Lord. Thank you for this father in Jesus’ name! Amen.
