 YOU ARE ANOINTED AND SENT TO TEACH

"Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth.  Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.  Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:18‭-‬20 NLT Bible 

   The ultimate objective of being a member of any Christian congregation is to be trained into being a disciple of Christ and to transform men into being disciples of Christ through the teaching ministry .

   Every  believer in Jesus Christ is expected to be active in the teaching ministry. The teaching ministry is not only meant for so-called 'teachers' , I used the word 'so-called' because many persons have been taught to believe that there are specialists or experts in God's kingdom. There are no experts in God's kingdom but the Holy Ghost using people as it pleases him. One person could be a prophet ,teacher ,healer ,miracle worker ,evangelist ,apostle as the Holy Ghost wishes . The believer can do all things through the enabling power of the Holy Ghost.

  The concept of God having  experts is far from the truth, this way of thinking deprives God's people from harnessing their full potentials . The scriptures says  " For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength." Philippians 4:13 NLT. and “I tell you the truth, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father." John 14:12 NLTBible .

  Jesus Christ manifested all the gifts of the Holy Ghost and says the believer will do likewise . He said we shall do greater works , like reaching out to more persons through the internet. He has made all this possible . Just as it is possible to  cook a delicious meal without being a chef likewise one can  cook up a good spiritual meal through God's word. The word of God is food indeed. 

   The believer is called to feed a starving world .We are to start from wherever we are. The early church  had scripture studies in homes ,a model for those who desire to teach . This is how communities and nations are transformed . Jehoshaphat applied this principle during his reign and had great success in governance " In the third year of his reign Jehoshaphat sent his officials to teach in all the towns of Judah. ..They took copies of the Book of the Law of the Lord and traveled around through all the towns of Judah, teaching the people. Then the fear of the Lord fell over all the surrounding kingdoms so that none of them wanted to declare war on Jehoshaphat.2 Chronicles 17:7‭, ‬9‭-‬10 NLT Bible

     Respect from other nations while they observe the unity and strength among God's people is the outcome of teaching the gospel. 

Teaching God's word starts with the way we live our lives , people around us are only attracted to the gospel when families practice what they preach . 

    The world is full  of problems and Christians who complain are a greater part of the problem . Teachers of the gospel proffer solutions instead of complaining . Teachers are solution-givers and that is what the world needs .

Prayer : 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 Ghost and power to preach and teach the gospel with signs and wonders .
