Go!

Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations [help the people to learn of Me, believe in Me, and obey My words], baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,  teaching them to observe everything that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always [remaining with you perpetually -regardless of circumstance, and on every occasion], even to the end of the age.” MATTHEW 28:19‭-‬20 AMP

While man counts in years, measuring advancement and progress by ephemeral and temporal things, God measures progress and success by completely different indices. A year is becoming old, as its days count down, while a new one is just beckoning. God isn't so much interested in the years, as much as he is interested on the impact on the hearts of men. For everyday that passes, the call to eternity draws near, and only what is planted in the heart of man will stand the test of eternity.

The command in this age is to GO. God asks us to move out and make disciples of all men everywhere. Disciples look like the One they follow and imitate, and you can never show another man the way if you do not even know where you are going. I must have tested and confirmed that He is the Way, before I can prove him to another person. The message is ALL about the One who calls us to service; there is no room for self glorification, self advancement or self promotion. It is a privilege to be commissioned for service by the One called the King of kings, who also promises us his eternal and ever abiding Presence as we go to work for him. It is a Co- mission: he does not send me out on my own; he sends me out with his backing, stating that no matter what comes, He will always be there beside me.

The message is only about Christ. He is the One who is Life and gives life, and who will hold us to the end. His Word is constant and trustworthy, and if He says a thing, you can be sure it will come to pass. This age will come to an end, one day. All that we see today will not last forever. Fashions and trends last for a season, and then other trends come into play. God is for all seasons and one day, all of us will answer to Him. Are you ready? His time of favour is here.
