Our mission field is all around us — they are the 80 percent of our community
who will not enter a church without our invitation. We have been commissioned by
God to win His harvest of souls. And because we have the commission to reap that
harvest, He has also given us everything we need to be successful at reaping it!
EDUCATION
Hebrews 11:1–3
" Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not
seen. For by it the men of old obtained a good report. By faith we understand that
the universe was framed by the word of God, so that things that are seen were not
made out of things which are visible” (MEV).
Mark 11:22–26
"Jesus answered them, 'Have faith in God. For truly I say to you, whoever
says to this mountain, "Be removed and be thrown into the sea," and does
not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, he will
have whatever he says. Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you
pray, believe that you will receive them, and you will have them. And when you stand
praying, forgive if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father who is
in heaven may also forgive you your sins. But if you do not forgive, neither will
your Father who is in heaven forgive your sins'” (MEV).
APPLICATION
- A team of Valor Christian College students is on a missions trip this week, working
at a school in a city of refugees from Haiti. The work they are doing is essential!
But you are part of a mission, as well, right where you are — to add to His
Kingdom.
- Whatever mission God’s put in front of you, He’s already empowered you,
filled you, with the power to be victorious over anything going on in your life
right now.
- For any of us to be defeated, God would have to surrender His throne. We’re on the
victory side.
- We need to get our families in unity. Stop the arguing. You don’t have to
be right. Just surrender it and let peace come.
- Our vision is to reach the lost in our community. God has commissioned us, individually
and collectively, for that purpose. And we are guaranteed to be successful as long
as we remain unified in the will to accomplish that vision!
IMPARTATION
Heavenly Father,
I am excited to be strategically placed in a body of believers committed to winning
the lost in our community. Thank You for not only charging us with a commission,
but also for empowering us with everything we need to accomplish it.
Order my steps to be supernaturally aware of the men, women and children in my life
who need You in their lives. Work through me to position them to hear the Gospel
of Jesus Christ, so their future in Heaven with You may be assured.
In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ — Jehovah Joshua Messiah — I pray.
Amen!
