Ecclesiastes‬ ‭4:9-12‬ ‭NLT‬‬ “Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble. Likewise, two people lying close together can keep each other warm. But how can one be warm alone? A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conq...

Ephesians‬ ‭6:19-20‬ ‭NLT‬‬ “And pray for me, too. Ask God to give me the right words so I can boldly explain God’s mysterious plan that the Good News is for Jews and Gentiles alike.

Acts of the Apostles‬ ‭1:8‬ ‭NLT‬‬ “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.””

There are places and people that we may never be able to reach by ourselves to preach the gospel but there are people who may be able to go there. There are missionaries all over the world who go to different countries, to remote places where people have never heard about Jesus, to preach to them. These missionaries leave their homes, their jobs and give up everything just to preach the gospel and...

Matthew‬ ‭5:14-16‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ ““You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.”

Galatians‬ ‭6:2‬ ‭NLT‬‬ “Share each other’s burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ.” If you want to get peoples attention, solve their problems!

John‬ ‭4:42‬ ‭NLT‬‬ ‘’Then they said to the woman, “Now we believe, not just because of what you told us, but because we have heard him ourselves. Now we know that he is indeed the Savior of the world.””

Luke‬ ‭8:38-39‬ ‭GNB‬‬ “The man from whom the demons had gone out begged Jesus, “Let me go with you.” But Jesus sent him away, saying, “Go back home and tell what God has done for you.” The man went through the town, telling what Jesus had done for him.” ‭‭

Romans‬ ‭8:19‬ ‭NIV‬‬ “For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed.”

Mark‬ ‭10:45‬ ‭ICB‬‬ “In the same way, the Son of Man did not come to be served. He came to serve. The Son of Man came to give his life to save many people.””

Matthew‬ ‭9:36-37‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ ‘’But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd. Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few.” ‭‭

Luke‬ ‭2:49‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ “And He said to them, “Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father’s business?”” ‭‭ Jesus, as early as age twelve knew that he had to go about his father’s business. How about you? Are you going about your father’s business?

In fulfilling the ‘great commission’ which is the assignment that Jesus gave to all believers to make disciples of all nations, we can’t overlook the role that attitude plays. People have all kinds of attitudes towards this assignment and your level of achievement or your level of success starts with your attitude.

Matthew‬ ‭28:20‬ ‭AMP‬‬ “and lo, I am with you always [remaining with you perpetually—regardless of circumstance, and on every occasion], even to the end of the age.””

Romans 10:13-15 NLT “For “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” But how can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them? And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent? That is why the Scriptures say, “How beautiful are the feet o...

Matthew‬ ‭28:18-19‬ ‭from NLT‬‬ “Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.” This is an order, not a suggestion!

For Jesus to be an effective saviour of the world, he needed to delegate the authority of certain assignments to responsible team members who would deliver results, and that’s exactly what Jesus did in Mathew 28: 16-20

When Jesus was leaving this world after he had resurrected and he met with his disciples, there was so much he wanted to say to them, so many things that he wanted to remind them of, but so little time. So Jesus, as he was leaving had to tell them the most important things that he needed them to remember. What were Jesus’s parting shots?

The words of Jesus were loaded with power. All the words he spoke were productive and none fell to the ground but they were guaranteed to achieved the desired results. So when Jesus spoke he wasn’t watching and waiting to see whether what he said would happen or not. He just went went his way without any worry. So what was the power behind his words?

Jesus was a man of faith and his faith was reflected in everything he did. In the miracles he performed, in his interactions with people, in the words that he spoke, in everything. When Jesus spoke in faith, miracles happened and situations were turned around. We too can work miracles and turn circumstances around if we speak in faith.

Many times when we think about speaking words that are powerful we think that they always have to be assertive, commanding, authoritative, sometimes, even negative. The kind of words that connote power. But when you study the life of Jesus you’ll see that the most powerful words are words spoken out of love, kindness and compassion.

Mark‬ ‭10:51-52‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ “So Jesus answered and said to him, “What do you want Me to do for you?” The blind man said to Him, “Rabboni, that I may receive my sight.” Then Jesus said to him, “Go your way; your faith has made you well.” And immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus on the road.”

Proverbs‬ ‭27:5‬ ‭NLT‬‬ “An open rebuke is better than hidden love!” ‭‭Jesus sometimes had to sharply rebuke people during his life time and he called some people out. But what was his motive?
