Prayer & Missions~POST BY: Madeline MacKinnon

We, as believers, have the highly important role of spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ our Lord. It is a special command.  Christ has given us a job of spreading His word- to not only to one nation, but to ALL the nations. It says clearly in Matthew 28, "Therefore go and make dicsiples 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 surly I am with you always, to the very end of the age." This is our calling as believers! Though we may not be able to go to every nation, a powerful tool that we can use is PRAYER.  During your quiet times with the Lord, pick a country, city, or a place and pray specifically for it that day. We can reach every nation and move the powerful hand of God through the mighty tool of prayer.  Jesus also says in Matthew chapter 13 in the Parable of the Sower "Still others fell on good soil, where it produced a crop-a hundred, sixty, or thirty times what was sown." So, as we pray for this crooked and depraved generation, we can also pray that seeds sown by believers would fall on good soil. The Lord is worthy of our obedience to Him- so let's faithfully obey His commands- let's be peaceful and prayerful through the journey. Though we are undeserving of it, God is so continually faithful to us, so shouldn't we be faithful to Him? The God who is always deserving of glory, honor and praise? People are desperate- they NEED a Savior- whom we know- and His powerful name is Jesus Christ.
