WORLD CHANGERS!

“And Jesus came and spake unto them, (that is His followers) saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.  Matthew 28:18-20

I was thinking how many roles we attempt to fulfill in our lives.  Husbands and wives, brothers and sisters, parents and children, grandparents and grandchildren, employees and employers, etc.  Some we have in common but some are different.  As believers in and followers of Jesus Christ, we all have one common role to fulfill and that can be summed up in two words........... WORLD CHANGERS!  We are all full time career WORLD CHANGERS as the verse above tells us.

We are ALL to be involved in going into ALL the world to effect change for good and for God in the lives of ALL people.  ALL the components needed to do that are contained in these verses as well.  And that is ALL the ALL's for now. LOL   The components I see are..............

  • POWER.  God’s power and strength – not our own – which is at best unsteady and often lacking entirely.  Jesus said ‘all power is given unto ME’, and with Christ living in us, we have that same power living in us.  That is POWERFUL folks!
  • PEOPLE.  What people?  (More ALL's!)  ALL people of ALL nations who need to hear the good news of God's love and sins forgiven through Christ's death on Calvary.  Canada is a nation – so even as I go to my own family and community, I am fulfilling the Great Commission.                                                                               
  • PRECEPTS found in God’s Word that all people need to know and observe in order to PROGRESS in their relationship with God and usefulness for Him.  Precepts such as prayer, assembling as believers for worship, serving, loving others as He loved us.
  • Last but not least is the PROMISE of Christ’s PRESENCE with us through the Holy Spirit who comforts and encourages us to carry on when the journey is dark and we feel frightened, discouraged and confused.

So, as WORLD CHANGERS, all POWER is ours as we go to all PEOPLE with the gospel, teaching them PRECEPTS for PROGRESS in their walk with the Lord.  And we have the PROMISE of His PRESENCE with us. 

Which of the 'P' words above would you like to be more PREVALENT  :) in your role as a WORLD CHANGER?

I'm going to be a bit unorthodox here.... LOL! While all of those above "P"'s are wonderful, I'm going to choose another one or two; first of all: "Poetic". Why? Because in the book of James when it says to be "doers" of the Word, not hearers only - that word "doers" comes from the same root word from which we get "poet" or "poetry" or "poetic". (I cannot remember the exact spelling of the Greek word, but something like Poeia"... hahaha. So poetic means being obedient to His command (not just hearing it). ALSO poetry is creative. So for me "poetic" means "creative obedience" or "obedience [to the great commission] using the creative gifts He has given me"... and this way it's extra FUN! :)

ALSO another one: "Praise-filled". Full of praise to God!

I would like to mention one "P" that I do *not* wish to apply to being a world changer: "people pleaser".... No people pleasing. Just "Papa [=God] pleasing"....

:)

I would like for my walk with the Lord to be based on His power and strength, that His precepts would allow me to progress in my relationship with Him. I like it when I have an ah moment where God reveals His plan. Thank you God.

All power would be the one I would pick. I would like to be more bold and out front with encouraging the gospel in the lives of others. Speak more boldly and with the power of the Holy Spirit to anoint my words.

Thank You Father that when you gave Christine the desire, You did so to fulfill it. She WILL speak more boldly and with Holy Spirit power as she believes You for it. Amen
