Scripture: St. Matthew 28: 16-20 (MEV)

16 Then the eleven disciples went away to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. 17 When they saw Him, they worshipped Him. But some doubted. 18 Then Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.

Happy New Year! We have been so blessed to see another year begin. How faithful God has been to keep us, provide for us, prepare us, and equip us for the journey. In the name Jesus Christ our LORD - NAME ABOVE ALL NAMES - we can do all things great and small. We have been empowered with the Word of God and the Holy Spirit to say what God says and then do the great works by His Spirit. We have been given a charge. The Holy Spirit - another Comforter - just like Jesus will only say what He hears the Father say. Our part is to do what the Holy Spirit reveals, by way of the Word of God, for us to do. Speaking to us, the Spirit of God will make clear what the Father is saying to do. God will use us in the place(s) we are assigned (home, work, marketplace) to bring Him glory. Jesus has taken His seat on the right hand of the Father interceding for us. We can stand in Christ to be all He called us to be. The greater work has been placed in our hands. GO MAKE DISCIPLES. Now, we take the Word of God and go forward knowing God is with us and for us. He will never fail us. He is fighting for us to fulfill and complete the assignment.

Will you go? . 

Blessed to be in the service of the LORD!
