JUST GO

Hello my dear readers and followers, I hope you had a great week. How well were you able to serve God throughout the week? Well, guess what you have from today to start serving God if you so wish to. The blog for this week is also related to serving God.

Matthew 28:19 says that “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” (NIV)

Go because ‘Go’ is the first word of the Great Commission. The great commision is a command so we have to honour God by obeying his words. I know I’ve shared on ‘Making Disciples’ before but I still feel the need to share on this topic again because most of us lack boldness when it comes to going to tell people about God. 

Going out of your way to tell someone about Jesus is a very bold step as sometimes you don’t know what to expect. However, you never know who you might be saving from hell. Using myself as an example. I have been in church all my life but I was still living in sin. When I moved to London for higher education, I had plans to have fun and church wasn’t part of the picture till I met two beautiful ladies called Tracey and Cloudia. They invited me First love Church, London . And here I am blogging about the Word of God and loving God like never before. Glory be to God I'm still in church and it is a great thing to be saved.

The truth is, if they didn’t go out of their way to invite me I don’t know where I would have been by now. But my life has been changed through one church invite.The question is, ‘why keep quiet if we you can talk?’ OR ‘why sit at one place when you can go and win souls for God?’ Trust me when I say we all need to GO because there are a lot of people out there who don’t know who Jesus is. They will only know about Jesus if we're kind enough to share with them that Jesus is the Son of God and the Saviour of the world.

I'm sure a lot of people who stay in church stay because they were invited by somebody. It doesn’t take a lot to go on outreach. Let me emphasise on this point again. Going on outreach won’t change your name, your identity, your body parts or even your phone number. I understand that some of us are very shy when it comes to speaking with total strangers about God. That is why we have to pray for Boldness and the guidance of the Holy Spirit anytime we go on outreach.

The Bible says in Matthew 7:19 that “Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.”(NIV) 

As Christians we are the trees so we have to get nutrients from the soil, use the light from the sun and have enough water in order to bear fruits.

Praying continually, reading and obeying God's word can be the nutrients to help the tree to grow but in order to bear more fruits we have to take on boldness which will be our sunlight as well as sharing the love of God with others which will be the water.I don't know about you but, I really don’t want to be a fruitless tree. In other words, I don’t want to be a useless Christian. So from hence, I’m going to pray for boldness and the guidance of the Holy Spirit to help me bear more fruits or win souls for God. 

If Jesus, the Saviour himself preached to others to win souls for his father, How much more us? I'm sorry but we have no more excuses so  JUST GO. 

One thing I’m going to leave you with today is that make it your burden to enhance God's kingdom. The question is, If we don’t go who do we expect to Go? Pray for boldness and know that you'll not labour in vain. God will truly reward you.

Have a great week ahead and don’t forget to GO!
