You aren’t just a messenger, but someone who possesses the last heavenly mandate. You’ll fulfill world evangelization that God desires the most. At the Mt. of Olives, Jesus promised the answer of becoming a witness “to the end of the earth.” (Acts 1:8) According to God’s promise, He opened the doors to missions(Acts 11:19), and according to the covenant, He used Paul to proclaim the Gospel before Caesar(Acts 27:24). Then, what is the last heavenly mandate that you must hold onto for world evangelization to take place?
1. The Scattered Ones
For world evangelization to take place, God has prepared the scattered ones. They are the multiethnic people, Remnants living in foreign countries, and Remnants who worship alone because there’s no church. You must relay the covenant and mission to them.
2. The Empty Places
Around the world, there are places where people from twenty-four million tribes and other multiethnic groups live together. Sadly, they have never once heard the Gospel that Jesus is the Christ. Starting today, your heart and prayer must be centered on the empty places of the world because God’s heart and attention lay there. God wants to heal them through you and the Gospel that you possess.
You must save these kinds of fields, but you possess limited power and strength. God clearly knows your limits. That’s why He has allowed the boundless filling of the Holy Spirit and the unlimited power of Heaven and earth. Today, if you focus on God from your field and put the empty places in your heart, He will give you the power and evidences to save them.
[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, help me to place Your heart in my prayer and center. May I stand before the world as a witness of the Gospel who will save the field, relay the Gospel, and fulfill the last heavenly mandate. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
