*_STAY FOCUSED ON THE DIVINE MISSION_*

_For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak (John 12:49)._

The Lord Jesus was focused on His divine mission. He knew exactly what He came to do and was undistracted. He declared His purpose and remained committed to it: "For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost" (Luke 19:10 NKJV).

Then in John 4:34 NKJV, He said, “…My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work,” showing His deep commitment to completing the mission given to Him by the Father. But then in John 20:21, He said something remarkable, “…as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.” Therefore, like Him, we must stay focused on the divine mission.

He said in Mark 16:15, “…Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.” This is the divine mission. Matthew 24:14 says “And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” Our mandate is to complete the full preaching of the Gospel in all nations this year; how focused are you on this?

Your accountability to the Lord would be on the basis of your participation in the Gospel. Anyone can say to you today, “You're doing a great job,” but what truly matters is if you’re doing what the Lord said to do. Even in speech, the Lord Jesus set an example as seen in our theme verse. Every word He spoke was in alignment with the divine mission.

He said in John 8:29, “I always do those things that please the Father.” We’re called to emulate Him in all things. Therefore, let your life mirror the Master in speech, action and commitment to the divine mission. Stay focused on fulfilling the mandate of the Gospel. Personalize the mandate and live every day with the consciousness that necessity is laid on you to preach the Gospel. Nothing in this world is more important than that.

*_PRAYER_*

*_Dear Father, thank you for setting me on a path of divine purpose. I walk in alignment with your will and in the consciousness that necessity is laid on me to preach the Gospel. My life is a reflection of true and unwavering commitment to the cause of the Gospel, in Jesus' Name. Amen._*

CUSTODIANS OF A MESSAGE THAT WORKS

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth... (Romans 1:16).

The Gospel of Jesus Christ that we preach is a message that truly works. It’s a message that produces undeniable results for everyone who believes it. It’s the reason you must be quick and bold to share it with others.

I remember talking to a man who had a very severe heart condition. The doctors had diagnosed him with heart failure and said he needed a transplant. But as I shared the Gospel with him, I said, “While I’m talking with you, there’ll be a change in your heart. All you have to do is believe what I’m telling you; just believe and give me a few minutes of your attention.”

He agreed. So, I kept talking to him, sharing with him the words of life. After about 15 minutes, I said to him, “It’s done.” And he replied, “Yes; it’s done.” The next test conducted on him showed he had a new heart! All the troubles were gone. I’ve seen this happen several times. It doesn’t matter what the case is; this Gospel works. It’s the message of Jesus Christ, and it produces results everywhere. Glory to God!

When you carry a message that works, you’re confident. That’s why the Lord wants us to be confident of the Gospel. We can’t keep it to ourselves because it works. It truly works! The Bible says, “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8).

In Romans 1:16-17, Paul said, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith...” (NKJV). The message has no borders. It works in every country, every city, and for everyone who believes. It transforms lives, brings healing and health to the sick, prosperity to the poor, and salvation to the lost.

How can we be quiet about such a message that transforms destinies and catapults men and women from despair to victory? Therefore, preach the Gospel boldly. The message works every time, everywhere, and for everyone who believes. Hallelujah!

PRAYER / CONFESSION

Dear Father, thank you for the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ that works everywhere, every time, and for everyone who believes it. I preach this Gospel with boldness and confidence, bringing healing, salvation, and transformation to all who believe. Amen.

BE HEAVEN-CONSCIOUS

But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven… (Hebrews 12:22-23).

I remember an old song we sang back in the day, “There’s no night there, there’s no night there, hallelujah! There’s no night there! For Jesus is the Light in the heavenly city bright, hallelujah, there’s no night there!” When we sang that song years ago, we were thinking about heaven, and that’s important because the Bible says, “… every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure” (1 John 3:3).

You’ve got to think about heaven; otherwise, everything you’re doing in the world is worthless. But we already belong in that city, which the old songwriter referred to as the “heavenly city bright”; it’s called Zion, the city of the great King. We’re citizens of that bright heavenly city. The night refers to the darkness, but we’re children of the day. Being born of God, you were born into the everlasting day; no more night in your life. Glory to God!

The Bible says, “…the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day” (Proverbs 4:18). The darkness is gone. The light has come. Darkness refers to everything sinister, evil, depraved, and of Satan. But light refers to God and all that’s good and the divine provisions of Christ in His Gospel.

No wonder the Bible says, “Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness” (1 Thessalonians 5:5). Let these thoughts fill your heart as you anticipate the Lord’s soon return. Be excited. Be expectant. And as the Scripture says, “Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth” (Colossians 3:2).

But you know, to be truly heaven-conscious, and to be of heaven’s use and a blessing to the world, you have to preach the Gospel. Therefore, always share Christ’s love with others and tell them about this bright heavenly city into which everyone who confesses and receives Jesus as Lord is born—the city of everlasting light.

PRAYER / CONFESSION

Dear Father, thank you for making me a citizen of the heavenly Jerusalem, the city of the living God. My heart is set on things above, and I walk daily in the light of your Word. I live with the consciousness of heaven, radiating your glory and leading many into this everlasting city of light. Thank you for the hope of your return, which keeps me focused on my divine purpose, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
