 Mathew 4:19 Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men

        Jesus gave “the Great Commission” to all Christians. We are called to reconcile men back to God. The scriptures says in 2 Corinthians 5:18-19 TLB "All these new things are from God who brought us back to himself through what Christ Jesus did. And God has given us the privilege of urging everyone to come into his favor and be reconciled to him".

        We were saved on purpose to fulfill a divine purpose . Jesus said in  Mark 16:15 TLB " And then he told them, "You are to go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone, everywhere.  Acts 1.8 NLT says  "But when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, you will receive power to testify about me with great effect, to the people in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth, about my death and resurrection." The death and resurrection of Christ makes little or no meaning to a sinner until explained by a Christian and confirmed through signs and wonders by the Holy Spirit. Matthew. 28:19,20, Luke. 24:47 John. 15:16

      Jesus sends all Christians as His labourers & witnesses to the entire world. No one is exempted. This is the primary reason for all of God's provisions in our lives and we shall be judged on how much of these provisions were used for the gospel . Isaiah. 6:8 Matthew 9:37, 38, Luke 9:2, John. 20:21, Romans 10:14,15,  2Corinthians. 5:20.

      God commands  us without any options to tell others about our belief; Psalm. 107:, John 3:11,  Acts 4:20, 2 Corinthians. 4:13.   To save souls from death; Proverbs. 14:25 Acts 26:18, James 5:20  There are consequences for not  sharing the gospel , part of which is the increase in crime rate , conflicts , poverty, sicknesses and diseases of which some of us have become victims; Ezekiel. 3:17-19, Mark. 8:38, Luke 12:8 ,9. 1Corinthians. 4:3.

      We should not be shy to share  the gospel but always ask God for boldness to declare the message of God's kingdom in the face of much opposition . Psalm. 119:46, Isaiah 40:9, Isaiah 62:6b, Matthew. 5:14-16, Mark 8:38 Acts 18:9b, Romans 1:16, Ephesians. 6:18-20, 1Thessalonians. 2:2,

Prayer of commitment: Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and boldness to preach the gospel with signs and wonders following in Jesus name.
