GO YE

By -

Rev. Sylvanus Abahde

“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved;  but he that believeth not shall be damned.  And these signs shall follow them that believe;  In my name shall they cast out devils;  they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents;  and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them;  they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover”  Mark 16:15.
In every generation there is a role that is assigned to man to play in the kingdom agenda; this role is the role of preaching the gospel to the lost. This is a mandate given to everyone that believe in the name of Jesus. The work of preaching the gospel is not attached to title or position, but an assignment that is for all of us.
The assignment of preaching the gospel is important, and must be carried out everywhere in nations of the world, but we must start from our immediate environment.  “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you:  and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth”
In reaching to the lost, every believer must bear this in mind that our life and the way we live is a message to the lost; how are you living daily?  If you must win a lost soul you must live to represent Jesus with the way you live your life.
Many are afraid of the evil men and their weapons of wickedness, but the good news today is that the grace and mark we carry as believers in Christ makes us untouchable for the evil ones and no evil one or wicked message of darkness will harm you. “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth”   Mat28:18
God has commanded us to go out. Everyone of us is expected to go out and make converts, bring them to church, so that the house of God might be filled. A true witness should never be ashamed of the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, so you are to join other brethren in unity during  church evangelism and visitation to win souls collectively to the kingdom of God
REASONS WHY WITNESSING IS SO IMPORTANT
1.    THE TIME IS TOO SHORT: So many people may say am still young so I have much time to serve the lord and win souls for Him. But I tell you, you have no time. The day of the lord is nearer by day, and you must not meet your savior empty handed. So the work of the master require urgency. There is other time for you to reach out to the lost than now. Now is the time to serve god, now that you are young. Ezk 33:1-8
2.    BECAUSE IT’S A COMMAND: “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost” Mat 28:19. It is a command for every believer to go out and preach the gospel. You must live ready to defend the course of the gospel.
3.     BECAUSE JESUS DIED FOR US ALL:  Jesus’s death on the cross of Calvary is for mankind, so we must never assume that church and the gospel is meant for a certain set of people, a tribe or a particular race.
In conclusion, be ready to go out at all time to preach the gospel. As you give yourself for the kingdom work you will see God breaking through for you in all every area of your life and your destiny is secured by the power of God.

USE YOUR DOUBLE PORTION OF SPEAKING POWER

1 Peter 2:9  But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people... God calls us “a royal priesthood”. This means that we are kings as well as priests under the king-priesthood of Jesus Christ. This has never happened before in the history of God’s people. In the Old Testament, kings and priests were two distinct groups of people. You were either a king or priest, but not both at the same time. Today, because we are in Christ, we are king-priests—a royal priesthood. This means that we have a double portion of speaking power because as kings, “Where the word of a king is, there is power” (Ecclesiastes 8:4), and as priests, “by their word every controversy and every assault shall be settled”. (Deuteronomy 21:5) So if you are a Christian businessman, you will have an edge over worldly businessmen. What you say about your business deals will come to pass. And if you are falsely accused, know that by your very word, every controversy and eve

CHARACTERISTICS OF A GENUINE CHRISTIAN | Series #3

HUMILITY Ephesians  5:21  Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. (Hebrews 13:7, 1 Peter 2:13) A genuine Christian do not exalt themselves above others. They do not look down on people or belittle others, either by words or actions. They have respect for both great and small for both God's family and people of the world. The same way they would respect an elderly man that's the way they would respect the younger ones. The LORD Jesus said:  Learn from ME for I am HUMBLE and MEEK .(Matthew 11:29) Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Matthew  18:4.  The demand of Humility on us is not that of an occasional act  but as a LIFESTYLE   But if little little foxes can spoil the vine then little little notice in our daily lives can help us grow both Physically and Spiritually. Let us therefore watch out for the little-little things that pertains to our  Spiritually growth.   The b

ASK IN JESUS’ NAME AND RECEIVE

John16:23“ … Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you. Do you always end your prayers with “in Jesus’ name”? Maybe your Sunday school teacher taught you to do this, or maybe you have heard church leaders and other believers utter it at the end of their prayers. I used to say “in Jesus’ name” very quickly as if those were magic words that would get my prayers answered. Then, one day, I heard the Lord asking me why I was doing that. The Lord wanted me to realize that whenever I pray and say “in Jesus’ name”, I am putting my entire faith for my prayer to be answered not in who I am or what I have done, but in the person and name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and what He has done at the cross! Whenever we ask God for anything in Jesus’ name, Jesus says to us, “Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name, He will give you.” This means that in your prayer for healing, when you say “in Jesus’ na

UNSEEN HEROES | Our Daily Bread

Read:  Exodus 17:8–15 Aaron and Hur held [Moses’s] hands up—one on one side, one on the other—so that his hands remained steady till sunset.— Exodus 17:12 Stories in the Bible can make us stop and wonder. For instance, when Moses led God’s people into the Promised Land and the Amalekites attacked, how did he know to go to the top of the hill and hold up God’s staff? (Ex. 17:8-15). We aren’t told, but we learn that when Moses raised his hands, the Israelites would win the battle, and when he lowered them, the Amalekites would win. When Moses got tired, his brother Aaron and another man, Hur, held up Moses’s arms so the Israelites could triumph. We aren’t told much about Hur, but he played a crucial role at this point in Israel’s history. This reminds us that unseen heroes matter, that supporters and those who encourage leaders play a key and often overlooked role. Leaders may be the ones mentioned in the history books or lauded on social media, but the quiet, faithfu
