In fulfilling the Great Commission, there are various ways to share the gospel message today. Contextualisation plays a major role in this endeavour and cannot be downplayed.
In some contexts, personal relationships and conversations with friends, family, and coworkers can effectively share the good news. Depending on your area, this can be a long-term project. Where applicable, we can also invite them to church or other Christian events.
The Great Commission is an essential aspect of the Christian faith. The apostles demonstrated how to fulfill this command in the book of Acts by sharing the gospel message and making disciples of all nations.
In the current dispensation and location we find ourselves, we can still contextualise the gospel and present it to every tribe, community, religion, and family. Sometimes, we may not see the evidence of our efforts, but remember, “I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the growth.”
May God cause the seeds we’ve planted to grow and multiply a hundredfold. Never give up; God is interested in the seed you are planting.
Missions is the Heartbeat of God
There is no greater calling than missions. Mission is the spiritual DNA of every born-again Christian. Among all that the church does, mission work is its highest calling.
Missions is the ultimate reason for the existence of the church on earth. The church is called out only to go back into the world with the good news that will snatch souls from hell.
Mission is the movement of good news across cultural and geographical boundaries. Jesus Christ is the first and foremost missionary in this world.
Jesus left the splendors of heaven and came down to earth to reconcile men to God. The essence of mission is reconciling sinful man to his Creator. We are called to know God and make Him known.
We are all missionaries. Be a missionary in your village, your community, your office, the country you’ve travelled to seek greener pastures, and above all, in your family.
Remember, You are a Missionary!
