DAY FIFTY SEVEN | The Great Commission

DAY FIFTY SEVEN | THE GREAT COMMISSION

Matthew 28 and Mark 16

GO INTO ALL WORLD MAKE DISCIPLES

The great commission of Jesus to His church is captured in the above six words. All the other work we do, and all the words we say should be distilled down into these six words. We are called to make disciples of all nations. It is our mandate. Successful Christians live these six words daily.

GO
We live to go. We are a green light people who look for opportunities to rise up and go. Life for us is about doing the journey and loving life to the full.

INTO
We are always on a mission and going into things. Getting involved in things is our nature. We are explorers of new things. Things exist for us to get into. Get involved. You are commanded to do so.

ALL
Nothing is sacred anymore. We are all and everything people. It is no longer either or, but all things. You can have your cake and eat it too. Learn to be an all inclusive person. Enlarge your world to include all people, places and opportunities.

WORLD
The world is now a small global village and is ours for the asking. There are worlds for us to explore and conquer, and we must not shrink back from the opportunities afforded to us. Become a world citizen. Decide to live in the biggest world possible.

MAKE
We are called to be creators and builders. To be people who make things. We are not people who pull things down, but rather build them up, and our greatest achievements are the people we make into champion disciples. Decide to make something that outlives you on planet earth.

DISCIPLES
Ultimately, our lives are measured by the people we influence for God and for good! We are to live in such a manner that people want to follow our example as we follow Christ. Count the number of people you are personally mentoring and you will have a correct measure of your obedience to the commands of Christ, and your real influence in life.
