God is a Missionary to us! He started the work of missionary to present His Son Jesus coming down to show us the way! To show us how God wants us to be. To bring us back to the first place of where we were before the Fall of Mankind. Before sin came into the world, man was in the perfect form of God! In that we were like God, in His image and in His likeness! We lost this because of sin and walked away from God to go our own way! So that God sent His own Son to reconcile us back to Him!
Now is the time for us to work! God has done His part and finished what He wanted to do, and He is now working through us! To accomplish what He started through Jesus Christ! Because this is the time for us to stand up for the Gospel, the Kingdom of God! It is the time for us to go into the harvest and bring souls into His kingdom. God is looking for many to come! How will they come, unless we go out and bring in the lost sheep to God. God has given us that mandate. It is a commission. By His will and His help and His Holy Spirit leading us to do what He wants.
When Jesus was walking in the earth, He was doing the same work we are doing! He was going from place to place preaching the Gospel. In the villages. To families and societies. In the churches. He was doing God’s business! Doing God’s work. Luke 2:49, “And He said to them, “Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father’s business?”
Matthew 9:35-38, “Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. 36 But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd. 37 Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. 38 Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.”
From then until now, I want to encourage you, this is our time! People are still worried. Wandering like they don’t have a leader. Some don’t know what to do. Some are suffering with pain, sickness, and diseases. Some are scared from things going on in the world! Many, particularly our youth are committing suicide because life is pressing them too much! This is our time for the Church and the Believer! To be moved with compassion! For those who are suffering. For those who don’t know Jesus! For those who are wandering and don’t know what to do! Who are scared for coronavirus! For things that are shaking the world!
Jesus is working through us right now! So, the world can experience the Kingdom of God!
Jesus has given us power, the same authority to heal the sick! To cast out demons! To bring hope in God to people! God is not looking for only leaders of the church. Not only apostles, prophets, evangelists, teachers, and pastors but God is looking for every individual who is in His Body! Jesus was with twelve disciples, but He sees this is not enough. So, He tells them to pray to the owner who gives laborers to send more laborers. Pray for God to send you to go to the village, to the market place, hospitals, prisons and everywhere! Because people are suffering! Every individual is invited to work in this Kingdom of God! Tell people about God, who is a very lovely, good God! Who has already given us everything! You need a heart because to go as a missionary is not easy decision. That decision will make you look to others as if you are crazy! People will advise you wrongly because they are fearful. Because God may not only send you in a good place. Sometimes God will send you to a rough village where there are murderers, thieves, dark places. You may see there is no one good there but God sees these people need His Son Jesus! God will send you to the very place others tell you not to go! And God will use you to change that area, that city! The calling is to everybody! Who will go for God and stand up for Him? God is calling us for His special purposes! He is choosing us from our families, your culture to present His Kingdom! We need to share His love! People have gone away from God! When you ask many people now adays, they comment it is no need to go to church. We need to tell them, there is still hope! Jesus is still healing! He is the same!
Matthew 10:1, “And when He had called His twelve disciples to Him, He gave them power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all kinds of sickness and all kinds of diseases.” Jesus power is in us the Believer’s. But if we don’t exercise that power, it will just be in us but not working. People with evil spirits are sitting in the churches suffering and struggling with those evil spirits. We have been given power to cast them out so they can be free! They may not like to be like that, but the evil spirits are driving their life. When we cast them out, that person can receive the gift of the Holy Spirit who will lead them into the Kingdom of God! That same power is in those who are born again, to do His job!
When you go out, you will meet people with diseases, sicknesses, fear, full of demons. Our work by the power of God is to drive them out! By Jesus stripes we are healed, (Isaiah 53:5). It is up to us to stand up and believe the Word of God! When a person works in the office of the government, they are given power. A senator or governor for example, are given power to use it and help people! To develop the area! But if you don’t use those powers, your area will be with a lot of problems! It is not that you don’t have it, but that power will be useless and doing nothing for you.
The job must be done, and this is the hour! All over the world, there is plenty to do! The world is shaken! People are worried about the climate. Their tomorrow is telling them there is no hope!
But we have hope in Jesus! All this is not going to finish the world! There is hope until Jesus comes! We want people to receive the gifts of God and the life of Jesus! The goodness of God! As we demonstrate His power, we will see it being effective in the lives of people. There are testimonies when the gifts of God are practiced! When the gifts are not utilized, the people are feeling nothing. They come in with a problem and leave with the same problem! Jesus did not work like that. When Jesus came to the person needing healing, He laid His hands on them and asked the Father to heal them and they got healed! Jesus did not send them to the doctors. We are not against the doctors; they are doing a great job! But we need to lead people to Christ! Thus, even the doctors are believing God! They say, we just try but God is the healer! They know because they are not sure the medications, they are giving you will work. But they are sure if they trust God to heal you, He will heal you! People can be healed without side effects, without a medical bill. People will get free treatment from God. People will have testimony because they will see God doing something in their life! Who will tell people about those things, the Believer. Those who have tasted the goodness of God! Some can say, I was sick, but Jesus healed them! Others, I was possessed, but Jesus healed them! Jesus will do the same for you!
The prayer is for God to send more laborers! We are laborers and God needs more! Don’t think God will only use a certain number or a certain person. God will use whoever is available! Whoever is ready to work! Ready to go! You will not go not go alone! God is going with you! He said, “He will never leave you nor forsake you!”
In the United States of America, for example, if they send an ambassador to another country, they are watching them, protecting them. If anyone touches that person, the government is ready to fight for them. There are ambassadors all over the world. Some of them are working in countries that are not good enough. The country itself is not like the United States but when you go where they stay and their offices, it is just like the United States! The government has provided that environment to take care for their people. It is just like with God. He will not send us without equipping us. Without backing us! Without God accompanying us! We are going by the calling of God! We are working for Him! Representing His Kingdom. He will give us whatever we want to accomplish the task! God is a faithful God! Some people have never heard the gospel for the first time! You will be surprised! You can’t assume! Jesus went everywhere! The gospel preached will send people to God! When they receive, they receive Jesus, they will have the gifts, the power, the authority, and eternal life!
This is the will of God! To have compassion. To reach the unreachable. This pleases God! Tomorrow is not promised! Now is the time! Speak to someone about Jesus!
The Gospel of Jesus Christ: this life we are living is a temporary life. When we come in Jesus, we have a permanent life! Jesus lives in us! He conquered the grave, death, hell, sickness, and every problem! You can receive eternal life in Jesus! We become like the first Adam who was created in the image and likeness of God! Sickness and death was not in Adam! Adam was living like God! Adam was not worried about anything! God did not create Adam to labor; to work hard like we do now. He created Adam to be like Him; to fellowship; to enjoy His goodness! Adam glorified God in the Garden of Eden! Adam was not afraid of any animals! There was no fear in Adam! Jesus is bringing us back to the same place. Jesus is the second Adam to us! Jesus came to show us how the Kingdom of God looks like in Heaven! He was bringing the kingdom down!
