The Great Commission we are called and given the grace to deliver is, "go into the World and preach the Gospel to the whole earth, and make disciples of all peoples, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and the Son, and Spirit of Holiness (Matt. 28:19, Mark 16:15)." Yet, as ministering vessels of God's Power, Grace, and Anointing, we are favored to be sent out by the authority of God in Christ Jesus who lives in us to impart the gift of the Holy Spirit on anyone who faithfully receives the Word of YHWH, through prayers and, "as their hands were placed on the people," so they may not only see the Kingdom of God, but dwell in it as Laborers in His Vineyard and co-heirs with Christ, with the breath and water of Life, on the Last Day (John 3:3 & 5, Acts 19:2-6).
Therefore, we should endeavor to always pray for new Believers, that they may stay empowered with the Gift of the Holy Spirit as they decide to carry the cross of Salvation and walk in the footsteps of the Messiah, for the continuous growth of God's Kingdom, so we may fulfill our apostolic calling, which is to equip and send out Laborers for harvesting souls (Eph. 4:12-13, Heb. 13:20-21).
PRAYER: Thank You, Omnipotent God and Ever-Gracious Father, for making me a channel of Your Divine impartation to new Believers through prayers and constant discipleship. Please help me to bring up more, committed and faithful Ministers, equipped with the Holy Spirit to continue the advancement of Your Kingdom, in Jesus' Name,
Amen.
From Acts 8:14-17
