Matthew 28:19-20 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 that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.
As we conclude our week of prayer we turn our focus out towards the great mission we have been called into. Like Jesus, who was sent to this earth on a mission to seek and save the lost we have been sent to our neighbourhoods and this city to seek and save the lost that Jesus loves so dearly. We have been equipped with the power of the Holy Spirit to make our task possible.
Pray in two veins today. First for the church that we would embrace the mission and that we would walk in the power that has been made available. Secondly, pray for the lost that they would be saved.
Acts 1:8 You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.
Mark 16:15-18 15 He said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation. 16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18 they will pick up serpents with their hands; and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover.”
