... the Great Commission
|
Although “the Great Commission” is not named in the Bible, it's been adopted as an instruction of Jesus’ to every Christian, ... putting many under pressure and even condemnation, … which is not the way God does things! So, is there a “Great Commission”? In the beginning, in the Garden of Eden, God said that … there is something He wants man to be involved with! And Jesus during His time on earth, also intimated that … there’s something the believers should be involved with! So what is it? Is it to get people born again? Is it to preach the gospel? Is it to live love? Is it to make disciples? To most Christians, particularly pastors, the answer seems easy, … go preach the gospel. However, is this really what Jesus planned for us? Before answering that question, I believe, … one should look at what God Himself said about His plan, … as well as what Jesus confirmed regarding God's plan! For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. --- Rom. 8:29 Read ...

From scripture we learn that, … prayer played an essential part in Jesus’ life and ministry! Not only on a regular basis, … but also at very specific times. So He Himself often withdrew into the wilderness and prayed. --- Luke 5:16 Now in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed. --- Mark 1:35 And when He had sent them away, He departed to the mountain to pray. --- Mark 6:46 Now it came to pass in those days that He went out to the mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God. --- Luke 6:12 As Jesus’ disciples observed His “prayer” life style, … seeing the importance that He put on prayer, … and how this time with God influenced His life and ministry, they realized it was something they also needed to do … Now it came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, that one of His disciples said to Him, "Lord, teach us to pray” --- Luke 11:1.
