THE #GREAT #COMMISSION:
Archbishop (Dr.) JOSEPH AWARITOMA MINISTRIES
General Overseer at GOD'S DOMINION GOSPEL MISSION. Nigeria
Calvary greetings and happy Sunday to you friends,
Today's message is challenging, commanding and demanding. At the same time as I speak on the Topic:
#THE GREAT COMMISSION:
The authorization and Divine mandate that Our Savior and Lord, left us to preach the Gospel everywhere to every creature, Irrespective of their race, color, position or status and no matter what geographical environment they may be found or situated. The Bible said to all human being, together and equally to the rich and wealthy people in the society and to the poor and underprivileged in a community, to the shrewd or wise and to the imprudent and unwise, to the enormous as to the minute, to the educated and to the uneducated, to the sophisticated and to the incompetent, to the sick to the those in health, the gospel preacher is in indebted to preach both to those who stay in cottage or mansions as well as to those who reside in the slums and ghettos ... ETC. For the Bible says to every creature everywhere.
Let us look at the very words of Jesus Christ our Lord and Master from the Bibles verses below
.
Text: #Matthew 28: 18-20, Mark 16: 15-20, Luke 24:45 - 48
The message is divided into 3 parts
1. #PERSONAL #EVANGELISM AND #FOLLOW UP
#Matthew 28: 18-20,
18. And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
19. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
From the Great Commission, there is a charge Jesus left for the whole church with a mandate to preach the gospel to the whole world, The Gospel is the Good News to the nations and it has the capacity to change lives. The Gospel is the mandate from heaven, and all power from heaven has been given to us and the commandment is to go to the entire world and preach the gospel to every creature.
The Gospel which is the good news is the salvation salvation to all who believes, the Salvation means Deliverance from sin and its consequence and upshot. Therefore the Gospel should be proclaimed completely and fully, teaching them to observe all things whatsoever the master has commanded us. And we are to observe all things the master commanded to the end. Today most people have left the gospel to preach other things (junk) false gospel and dogma that dose does not have the capacity and capability to serve souls. The Gospel today is no more as it is compared to what it was when the Apostles presented and delivered it to us. As a result, the church is not produced again. Where you see gathering of social souls instead of the gathering saved and sanctified souls. I'm sorry? It is an indignity.
Today, because of the terror and fear of men, some preachers are preaching diluted and watered down gospel But if we defy and dare to preach the gospel as it is, there is promised promise to us saying, behold I am with you always the end of the world.
We are not here for ever or ever to be here shortly, and for a moment. For we brought nothing into this world and without doubt we will carry nothing out of it, For we bring not anything here and we can not go with anything as a result we should not fail to remember that it does not profit us anything if we gain the entire world at the expenses of our souls.
This is why all preachers need to be crammed and filled with the influence and power of the Holy Ghost along with the power of the Anointing of God upon their lives. The preaching of the gospel with the Anointing will save your soul and the souls of the hearers as it will also put them on the day of the day Take note that the world needs the undiluted and the unadulterated word of God which is the high-quality information and the good news of the kingdom of God.
2. #TEACHING THEM TO #OBSERVE ALL THINGS
In Mark 16: 15-20
15. And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
16. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth shall not be damned.
17. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
18. They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
19. So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.
20. And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.
The master, our Lord Jesus Christ, commanded us to go into the world and preach the Gospel to every creature both rich and poor men, skilled and unskilled greet and small. For the bible said, "And to him that believeth and baptized shall be saved, And that this signs will accompany them that believe, in His Name in the Name of Jesus we are mandated to cast and throw out devil, to lay hands on the sick and they will recover, recover from their entire prediction and that if we take any poisonous or deadly thing it will not impair and hurt us. It was corroborate that the Disciples went allover the world and preach the gospel and the Lord confirmed the word with signs and wonders following them. This is a gospel of the kingdom and the gospel of influence and power, it is also the gospel of Deliverance and freedom from all satanic strongholds either they are witchcraft captivities because anywhere gospel enters it have the power to transform life and also have capacity to improve and upgrade ones life. Everywhere the Gospel of Jesus Christ is preached it has all the capacity and capability to librates it hearers from all the powers of the wicked one which is the devil. This kingdom message, has the power and ability to transform every lives, any time it is well preached by the preachers and fully received and believed by the hearers. Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today and forever.
3. #FOLLOW UP, #EXPANSION AND #PRESERVATION
In Luke 24: 45-48
45. Then they opened their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,
46. And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
47. And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
48. And ye are witnesses of these things.
He said you are witness of this effects and things, so who is wetness?
A witness is a manufacturer and evidence provider. I want you to retain this information and data inside of you that Jesus unlock their indulgent, For the Bible says I have opened their understanding that they might comprehend the scripture. TO US, AND ALSO DELIVER US FROM (DOGMATIC AND HERETIC PEOPLE) MAKING US TO DISASSOCIATE OURSELVES FROM THE RUDIMENT AND JAGGED PRACTICES OF FALSE TEACHERS.
After accepting the Gospel of our lord Jesus with all readiness will deliver and disconnect us from the congregation parishioners of the dead and lifeless, it will make us to be DIFFERENT and dissimilar, it will make us to go after the converts with passion for souls and not with fashion for show as we see among church members today, the true gospel will make us to preserve the converts and preserve them for the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ as this is our only aim and aspire of converting them for Christ ..
The accurate gospel of the kingdom helps us to make sure our convert is genuinely saved by the good news which we preach daily. It is incredibly unfortunate that in this present day we see clerics and Christians who preach junk teaching people erroneous and perverse gospel just to make merchandise and proceeds of them, they say it dose not matter when it matters most.
They are cloud without rain, spots in the feast, empty dreamer, trucebreakers, false teachers, wolves in sheep clothing, they are blind leaders who teach against the truth as they slapdash and careless on the subject of how members of their congregations commit fornication, Adultery, Idolatry, drunkenness, covetousness, using witchcrafts and wizardry mediums to defraud and swindle people, in addition to all sort of ungodly acts because of money at the lost and expenses of their souls, yet they say it does not matter even when this very subject matter is imperative (following the fact that they can disburse heavy tithes and make payment of fat donations in the churches) no wonder till now they still say, it dose not matter when it matters most.
We are a preacher and teacher of the gospel, must make sure that these people who are listening to us, who are following us and obeying us as we preach to them, are well trained and taught in the way of the truth with it genuineness Just we are following the master and obeying his voice in all our customs and whole heartedly. We must not behave like some assembly preachers who say, "Do as I Say, but do not do". These people are not brave the Apostles Paul who said to the people to be followers of me as I am following Christ. No wonder he reminded Barnabas of the necessary importance of follow up, expansion and preservation of the converts.
And some days after Paul said unto Barnabas, Let us go again and visit our brethren in every city where we have preached the word of the LORD, and see how they do (Acts 15:36).
We must follow up our convert to make sure they are conserved in Christ; we must not say we are under grace then live our lives anyhow, for the reason that grace do not authorize and sanction us to live to sinful and life full of all worldly lust. Not forgetting that Christianity is about a positive changed as it is good for the depart from evil but for the wicked it is abomination to them.
The Apostles asked us a very important and imperative question "Shall we continue in transgression that grace may flourish ??? He has answered God forbid. " See (Romans.6: 1-2) what shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How should we, that is dead to sin, live any longer therein?
So we can see that the grace of God which has appeared to all men, enables them to live right, not to tolerate or encourage without and sinners with all worldly yearn and lust.
(Titus 2: 11-12) For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
As a result we can see that the grace of God will facilitate in every true believer the zeal and fire to achieve great successes in follow up, expansion and preservation both in soul wining and spiritual growth making them to live for Jesus Christ a life that is accurate and true.
It is my prayer and earnest desire that God will aid us to please and satisfy him in all that we both in spirit and in truth to the end having a souls to great him, which if we do we shall hear excellent work thou good quality and authentic servant because you are faithful with the sheep and therefore enter into the joy of your Lord. This is very imperative for every Christian as God expects all true believer to be a soul winner and be fruitful, productive and to replenish the kingdom of God
Christianity is about a positive changed as it is good for the just to depart from evil but for the wicked it is abomination to them.
God Bless you.
