“And He said to them, Go into all the world and preach and publish openly the good news to every creature of the whole human race. He who believes, who adheres to and trusts in and relies on the Gospel and Him Whom it sets forth and is baptized will be saved from the penalty of eternal death; but he who does not believe who does not adhere to and trust in and rely on the Gospel and Him Whom it sets forth will be condemned. And these attesting signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new languages; they will pick up serpents; and even if they drink anything deadly, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will get well. So then the Lord Jesus, after He had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven and He sat down at the right hand of God. And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord kept working with them and confirming the message by the attesting signs and miracles that closely accompanied it.” Mark 16:15-20

God will never send you on any errand without giving you a sure promise; without making ways for you to succeed, and without going with you and being with you throughout that mission. I want you to know that you are on a divine mission and you will succeed despite the frustrations from the pit of hell; you are on a divine mission to set the captives free despite their resistance to your person; you are on a divine mission to declare the true gospel of Jesus Christ in the land of the living weather people will accept it from you or not; you are on a divine mission to shine the glorious light of heaven to the dark world irrespective of the arrows of darkness set to bring you into confusion and discouragement; you are on a mission to show forth the true likeness and true image of the living God in you through the way you walk, the way you carry yourself, the way you show love, talk, the way you act, and the way you react to all issues.

You are on a divine mission to break the powers of afflictions and addictions and set its numerous captives free; you are on a divine mission to set forth the heavenly standard of living right and in all relationships; you are on a divine mission to declared the Lordship and power of Jesus Christ in your vicinity and you are never going to do that alone. Christ Jesus said He will be with you; He will guide you through; He will direct your steps and words; He will strengthen you in time of weakness; He will protect you against fears, and He will ensure you are not destroyed despite the condemnations that will rise against you. One of the greatest assurances you will ever receive on carrying out this divine mission is that the one who save your soul from death is with you and is for you all the way. As He single handedly plucked your body sour and spirit out of the hands of the devil and his plans of destroying you, so will He also pluck you out of the hands of all the people ganging up to disgrace, frustrate and destroy your in effort to give God a testimony. As He did not allow you to be destroyed by the powers and effects of sins, He will also not allow you to be destroyed by any mistake or misfortune that will befall you. By His divine grace and enabling, you are set to give God a testimony soon because the signs of divine grace is following you. You are on God’s mission and not a personal mission.

Jesus Christ was very clear in speaking to His disciples ‘these signs will follow you’ and He meant it. Though they were severely persecuted, tormented without measure and discouraged; though Saul stood raised up an army to hunt them down for persecution and to frustrate every of their desires and efforts to spread the gospel as they were told; though they were beaten and stripped naked; though they were imprisoned and often went hungry and homeless, though not every one accepted them or their words, that did not in any way stop their testimonies. People may reject and frustrate you, but Christ is with you and in you, they will not stop the testimony that God had destined for you; they may not listen or follow you, but one thing is certain, they will never stop your testimony. Christ said these signs will follow you. For prayers, Click here
