FOCUS
Isaiah 61:1
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me because He has anointed me to preach good news to the meek; He hath sent me to bind up the broken- hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and opening of the prison to them that are bound;

Let us never lose sight of the fact that as christians our mission and vision is like that of the Prophet Isaiah described in the verse above:
– Preach the good news
– Bring hope to the afflicted and oppressed
– Present the message of deliverance to those in bondage.

Before we can do this effectively, we must:
– Accept the gift of salvation ourselves
– Pray for God to revive us
– Pray for God to show us His glory to empower us fulfill our mission
– Ask God to direct us on how to accomplish our mission of telling the world “Jesus is the answer”

It is easy to lose focus or get distracted from fulfilling our mission. The cares and troubles of this world, our own ambitions and desires as well as our occupations can prevent us from fulfilling our mission.

The bible says in Matthew 6:33 that

Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you ( paraphrased)

If you fulfill the will of God for your life,as listed above, every other need will be met ( Philippians 4:19)

Matthew 28:19-20
God forth and preach the good news to all nations….lo, I am with you always to the end of the age ( paraphrased)

This passage from the new testament reminds us of what our mission is and assures us that God is with us every step of the way to help us.
God be with you.

How can I apply the word to my life?
1. As individuals let’s pray for grace and strength to do God’s will
2. Let us come together as the church globally to pray that God uses us in these end times.
3. Pray for God to direct us on how to remain faithful to Him till Jesus comes.

Prayer
Let this hymn be your confession and prayer

My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness
I dare not trust
My sweetest frame ( imagination or thoughts)
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name

Chorus
On Christ the solid rock
I stand
All other ground
Is sinking sand

His oath, His covenant, His blood
Support me in the o’ whelming flood
When all around my soul gives way
He then is all my hope and stay
Chorus
Amen
