The Assignment

Mark 16:15-16 NIV
He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.  Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.

Have you ever considered the nature, scope and assignment of the task that God has committed into your hands? Do I even know what He has called me to be and do, and what am I doing in pursuit of that purpose? Do I have a clear idea of the direction I'm headed or do I just live from day to day, guessing along the way and groping in the dark, trying to mentally pick the best out of all the options open before me?
There's an assignment given to every kingdom citizen- speak about the kingdom. There are people all around us who we know their origins simply from the way they speak. Their accents, mannerisms and culture simply speak volumes about where they come from. Should ours be any different? When we open our mouths to speak, do people know we are citizens of God's country or just people with no identity, open to all sorts and ready for all sorts?
This assignment is divine, ordained by God and rewarded by Him. He commands us to tell others about Him but the concern is: are we speaking at all? Do we know what we are to talk about? Do our lives support the confessions of our mouths so that people who come in contact with us know who we are, where we belong and whose we are?
As we go out today, let us make it a point of duty to point others to God's kingdom. Our speech is the revelation of our identity, citizenship and inspiration. Our response also to what we hear is the key to determining our eventual destination. Let us watch our words and conduct closely so that we remain rapturable and redeemable.
If you believe God, you are a citizen of heaven. If you do not believe, eternal death is the end of such unbelief. Make the right choice today. His time of favour is here.
