Missions
Is it our call as Christians?

When I started , or I should say when God placed me in this internet outreach ministry, It really didn’t dawn on me what it really was until a lady at my church pointed it out, “Oh, you do missions work”. And yes that is exactly what we do, and in this age of technology what an awesome way to go and make disciples of all nations, as Jesus commanded all of us to do in Matthew 28:19.
We are to be world changers, allowing God’s will, his vision, to influence our own, we need to allow God to guide us in the way that points us to his purpose for our lives.
While we are thinking about what to wear to work and how much money we need to retire, God is thinking about all the tribes of all the nations that need to hear the ‘Good News of Salvation’ All to often Christians think it’s only the preachers that are called for this task, but once we believe, we all become disciples of Jesus, commanded by our Lord to preach the gospel.
So are we all to have a church, not exactly, as I have said before, to share the gospel you do not need to know all the verses in the bible, but only share with people what Jesus has done for you and what Jesus can do for them, What Jesus has done for us, “The World”.
We need to get radical people, we need to turn the world upside down. If you lay your life on the line for Christ your ministry will grow whether it be here in the USA, or overseas. G. K. Chesterton, a British Writer and Christian Apologist once said, “Jesus promised his disciples three things-that they would be completely fearless, absurdly happy, and in constant trouble.”
Are we completely fearless? Absurdly happy? Or in constant trouble? Well are we? We live in a country that for now, you can speak your mind and instead we are in fear of offending people by speaking the truth. How can we be happy when we live in fear, how can we get in trouble living like this? Meanwhile there are people in other countries dying for sharing the gospel, dying and being tortured for our Lord and Savior.
God forgive us. Our brothers and sisters are putting their lives on the line for Jesus, while we sit back and enjoy the ride. In this country we have the greatest opportunity to reach a world in need and we pass our responsibility on to others.

“I took you from the ends of the earth, from it’s farthest corners I called you. I said, ‘You are my servant’; I have chosen you and have not rejected you.”
Isaiah 41:9
He called us, We are His servants, we are His chosen, yet we reject His commands! Why?

You can make a difference and it’s not to late to start. We affect the people closest to us, like our family and friends. Even though you may feel called to enter ministries as an apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor, or teacher (Ephesians 4:11)- and to go out into the world, just start where you are now. Wherever you are right at this moment, is where God wants you to be, so don’t think you can’t begin in your own hometown, school, college, or work place. God has a reason for you being where you are, find out what or who that reason is.

But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope you have. But do this with gentleness and respect. 1 Peter 3:15

Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us.
1 Peter 2:12

Ministry has no age limits, we are all commanded to share the Good News, and God will use you if you only open your heart to him and say use me Father. Start now and change the world. And what will the outcome of all this be? Well God tells us exactly what the end result will be.

After this I looked up and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. Revelation 7:9

What a sight we shall see on that day! In Jesus Name, Amen. Mel
