Matthew 28 vs 19
"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit"
VEHICLES OF LIFE
When we talk about the coming of the Lord being so close, some have asked, “In that case, is there any need for me to still start up a business or go to school?”
Starting up a new business or profession, or going to school are all opportunities to reach others with the Gospel. We call them chariots, vehicles of life. The word “nations” in our theme verse doesn’t just mean "countries”; it refers to social divisions of people. And these may be broken into various ethno-systems.
For example, there’re ‘workplace nations,’ professional nations, neighbourhood nations; all the staff of a particular organization, an association of engineers, residents of a village community respectively. If you’re a lawyer and you belong in an organization of lawyers, that’s a nation of lawyers. Are you a student? Your student community is a nation, with respect to the definition of our theme verse. You become the preacher in your world.
Our faith in Jesus and our expectation of His imminent return make us even more passionate to do more. We become directed and more focused, using the opportunity of our “nations” to reach more people with more urgency.
PRAYER
The Lord has anointed me to deliver men from bondage into the glorious liberty of the sons of God, turning them from darkness to light, and from sin unto righteousness. In these last days, I’m doing exploits for the Lord, establishing His Kingdom and righteousness in the earth and in the hearts of men, in Jesus’ Name. Amen._
