God saves the world through those who have discovered His heavenly mandate, calling, and mission. Furthermore, when workers who have the Gospel go into the field, God allows them to meet prepared committed workers. If the Word movement arises through a system that will continue, then disciples will remain. Then, what are your God-given heavenly mandate, calling, and mission?

1. Your Heavenly Mandate
Heavenly mandate means to hold onto your God-given Word as your covenant in the present age that you live in. The content of your heavenly mandate is restoring the Gospel. (Acts 1:1, 3, and 8) In addition, as a witness who has experienced and enjoyed the Gospel, relaying it is your God-given heavenly mandate.

2. Your Calling and Mission
Because of your heavenly mandate, you have been called by God. This is your calling. Within your allocated time schedule for today, you are in the place, the time schedule, and incidents that God desires. Mission is what you must accomplish now to save the future. The key or core is doing world evangelization through the movement of “only Gospel.”

Jesus who resurrected told His disciples about the basic strategies of world evangelization. (Matthew 28:16~20) They include personalization, (you) establishing the field, (go) establishing disciples, (make disciples) establishing the church, (baptize) and reproduction. (teach) For these works to arise, He will always be with you to the end of the age.

[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, may I discover my heavenly mandate, calling, and mission given by You in order to become a disciple who is used for world evangelization. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

[Deep Questions]
Q. What Is Your Heavenly Mandate?

God controls of the stream or flow of an age.
During each age, He gives His Word to each individual.
When you hold onto that Word as your covenant, it becomes your heavenly mandate.
“Make yourself an ark.” (Genesis 6:14: The Word given to Noah.)

“Take the Israelites out from Egypt and Give blood sacrifice.” (Exodus 3:18: The Word given to Moses.)
“Carry my name before the Gentiles and kings and the children of Israel.” (Acts 9:15)

When you hold onto your God-given heavenly mandate and go to the place where He has called you, everything that seemed absolutely impossible becomes absolutely possible.
