“Then Jesus came to them and said, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore, go and make disciples 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 surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.“— Matthew 28:18–20 (NIV)
As believers, we are not just people of faith—we are ambassadors of the Kingdom. God has strategically placed us on the earth to extend His reign and reveal His nature. Earth is not just a place we live; it is heaven’s colony, and it is meant to reflect the glory of its King.
You are here on divine assignment. This is not a casual calling. Heaven has invested its authority, presence, and power into you to fulfill a sacred mandate. You must recognize your purpose—and embrace the resources God has made available to carry it out.
One of His greatest gifts is His presence. He does not send you out alone. His presence is real, active, and available to all who are committed to His mission.
And beyond that, never forget this: all authority in heaven and on earth belongs to your Sender. You are backed by the full weight of heaven. The name of the Lord is a strong tower—and all who run to Him find safety, strength, and boldness.
With these truths in your heart, you should be stirred with holy fire for the Great Commission—to take the good news of Christ’s salvation to the ends of the earth. God has your back, and that reality should drive out fear and stir up faith.
So I ask you: What are you doing with the assignment God has placed in your hands? How deeply are you burning for His mission?
Remember: A great commitment to the Great Commission will produce a great believer. Walk boldly. Speak fearlessly. Live purposefully. You are on Kingdom business.
Have a blessed and powerful day.
I love you massively ❤
