His mandate to us is to reflect His words and works at all times and to follow his way and vision of doing ministry on this earth.
Luke 6:40 AMP declares
A student (us) is not superior to his teacher (Jesus Christ);but everyone, after he has been completely trained, will be like his teacher (Jesus Christ).
What do we learn from the words, commandments and works (ministry) of Jesus Christ our teacher and Lord?
Matthew 9:35 AMP declares
Jesus went throughout all the cities and villages in Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the good news (gospel) of the kingdom, and healing every kind of disease and every kind of sickness [His words and His works reflecting His Messiahship].
Matthew 28:18-20 AMP also declares
Jesus came up and said to them, “All authority (all power of absolute rule) in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, help the people to learn of Me, believe in Me, and obey My words, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe everything that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, remaining with you perpetually, regardless of circumstance, and on every occasion, even to the end of the age.”
We learn from the above scriptures the following mandates:
👉Jesus taught the word of God (achieving it’s requirements through the power of the Holy Spirit not through the power of the flesh).
👉Jesus proclaimed the gospel of peace (repentance and complete trust and dependence on him as the messiah and way to the father in heaven).
👉Jesus proclaimed and taught about the kingdom of God and its everlasting rewards (an imperishable and eternal kingdom with riches that do not rot or spoil-Matthew 16:19-21).
👉Jesus preached healing and restoration to the physical, spiritual, emotional and mental state of fallen man (hurt and oppressed by Satan and from the consequences of sin-1 John 3:8)
👉Jesus displayed both words and works of God who saves and loves us all.
👉Jesus commanded us to go and conquer this dark world with the light (God) present in us. For the light of God will always triumph over darkness. Jesus made us lights to this world (Matthew 5:14-16).
👉Jesus commanded us to baptize all (those who believe and are willing to repent and give up their sinful & fleshy lifestyle) in water and make true disciples (followers of God who are committed and willing to carry their cross and follow the lifestyle of Jesus Christ) of all nations (all races and cultures).
If you are willing to follow the above mentioned mandate of God with all of your heart mind and soul, God calls you today and needs you to join his army⚔️
2 Timothy 2:1-4 AMP declares
So you, my son, be strong (constantly strengthened) and empowered in the grace that is to be found only in Christ Jesus. The things (the doctrine, the precepts, the admonitions, the sum of my ministry) which you have heard me teach in the presence of many witnesses, entrust as a treasure to reliable and faithful men who will also be capable and qualified to teach others. Take with me your share of hardship, passing through the difficulties which you are called to endure, like a good soldier of Christ Jesus. No soldier in active service gets entangled in the ordinary business & affairs of civilian life. He avoids them so that he may please the one who enlisted him to serve (Jesus Christ).
