We know it's the will of our Heavenly Father in Christ Jesus who has chosen to reveal our destinies as ministering vessels of the Holy Spirit and called us to go into the whole world finding any lost sheep to bring them into the fold for baptism and discipleship, before the end - so they may grow in God's Word, having their faith strengthened to stand as Overcomers, ahead of every challenge that comes their way as they journey along the only true path of righteousness - and to never lose anyone who has chosen to stay under our ministerial care, as good stewards of God's Grace, who are preparing souls, according to His will, to have Peace with Christ on the Last Day (John 6:39). We might expect to be persecuted for living to the fulfillment of our Calling in Christ; even then, we should always ensure the safety of all given to us, for they need to be available when we are not around, to continue advancing God's Kingdom as products of our fruitfulness in the True Vine.
Although we may experience betrayal, be ignored, misunderstood or denied by the ones we tried to disciple, we should stay committed to pleasing our Heavenly Father with whom we are given; keeping His Word and feeding His sheep, nourishing their souls, which reveals our love and obedience to Him who has called us to identify Himself in our world (John 17:12 & 21:17).
PRAYER: In Jesus' Name, thank You, I AM THAT I AM, All-Knowing Father in Heaven, for graciously creating me and keeping me useful for Your glory, knowing I would be converted and able to disciple souls boldly, for Your Kingdom, advancing by Your Spirit. Please, keep me willing in the Spirit, to live to the fulfillment of Your Word so that none of those whom You have given me to disciple will be lost, no matter what comes our way,
Amen.
From John 18:4, 8 & 9
