Our missions are critical to God's plan for the salvation of mankind. The first part of our mission is finding our purpose, our SHAPE, and our ministry in the Body of Christ. (the Church family) The other part, is our mission in the world. This doesn't mean that we drop everything we're doing and hop on the next flight to South America, (unless of course, you're discovered purpose is missionary work) God needs you right where he has you!
Our mission in the world is to introduce others to Jesus Christ. It's our job to reach and teach the non believers. And, if you've made it 36 days following along with my writing, you can't say that God can't use you. You know He will use anyone who believes in Him; we've covered all that already. No excuses!
I've had a rough few days. I've even needed to get my own personal 'prayer warriors' out fighting for me. And even though I was ready to walk away from this blog, this book, and everything related to it, their prayers came through for me; they helped me stay focused on my mission. That mission is reaching you. As the author says, and I'm going to adopt it too "One more for Jesus" is why I am here.
Our Bible verse comes from the Gospel of Matthew. It is Jesus' Great Commission for His followers.
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."What fears have kept me from fulfilling the mission God made me to accomplish? What keeps me from telling others the Good News? I sometimes am afraid of people just telling me off, but I am trying to better read people and approach ones that I think are more open to receiving the Good News.
Matt 28:19-20 (NIV)
Remember:I was made for a mission
