PB Devotion
The whole world needs Jesus. Jesus said this very clearly over and over. In Matthew 28:18-20 he gave us the Great Commission: “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 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, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
The Holy Spirit gives us supernatural power to do extraordinary things in this world. It is easy to focus or overly focus on the gifts the Holy Spirit has given to us. At times, I believe, giftings can cause us to limit ourselves or even fall short of Gods intended plan for us.
“Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers. Their responsibility is to equip God’s people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ. This will continue until we all come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of God’s Son that we will be mature in the Lord, measuring up to the full and complete standard of Christ. Then we will no longer be immature like children. We won’t be tossed and blown about by every wind of new teaching. We will not be influenced when people try to trick us with lies so clever they sound like the truth. Instead, we will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ, who is the head of his body, the church. He makes the whole body fit together perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love.”
Ephesians 4:11-16 NLT
What is our assignment? It is “Go.” This is not a suggestion! It’s not optional. If you are a child of God, God expects you to go and make disciples. This is the plan of God for your life. Even the preacher, teacher, apostle, evangelist and prophet must submit to the Great Commission. No one out grows or out ranks the Great Commission. We are disciples first.
