God's mission concerning man, wins his concern. Since God created man in his own image, this evokes the concern and love in God towards man. Man is a true representative of God on earth. (Gen 2;7) . the creation of man brought about the first divine mission on earth, when he came down and squatted on it to breath into it, which gave the rise of life.
After Satan succeeded in causing man to fall, it brought out several strategies and processes of mission by God. If anyone wants to win God's love and concern, such mistake give heed and concern to mission. According to John 3;17 God does not will any man perishing, that's why the official mission trip was sponsored by heaven by sending Jesus the son of God to come and die for man's sin. Therefore, God is a missionary God. Likewise you,
No believer is exempted from it, either one is a cross-cultural missionary, or indigenous missionary. The command, "Go ye.... " is for all children of a God (Luke 6;46).
So a missionary, is someone who has gone out from his own people to other people with the message of love and salvation to them.
GOD'S FIRST MISSIONARIES
• Abram and Israel.
These men first held or had the revelation of God before others in the world. You must know that God can't send a strange man who do not know him nor receive his massage. Abraham and Israel had the revelation and message of God, that is why they were sent.
Has God unfold or revealed himself to you? Does he speak to you clearly? get ready for his errand.
• Second; the Prophets
The age of the Prophets was another missiological era. He called them specifically for a special " warning mission". The word of God came to Jonah saying, Arise and go....." and also to Micah, the king of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem. Whosoever receives God's message has and must give it to the people sent to. All believers are God's missionaries. So don't say, I am not called. You have been called (2cor. 5:18- 20).
• The third; Believers.
Jesus said, As the father has sent me, so sent "I" you (John 20:21).
The receiving of the Holy Spirit is on the preparations for missionary work (Luke 24;49). Have you received the Holy Spirit? Why are you still not motivated for the salvation of the unsaved?
There's no era without great mission. God cannot have people without a mission.
Why are you God's person without a divine mission? From your home and city to the end of the world, where do you effect? You're planted By God for fruit bearing. A missionary is a loving life person, who is rich in God's love. He/she goes out to share with the hopeless ones.
how loving are you.
Let it be known to you, that God is so much concerned with the people he created. And if you want to be his friend, or win his delight, live for souls. Save his creatures, descend to their levels, he will give strength and other resources for the work.
Begin the soul winning work today, do not delay and God will bless you.
