3 Ways Every Believer Can Be Involved In The Great Commission

Great commission  Every person on earth needs to hear the message of Salvation. This message is that Jesus died for their sins, and they are reconciled to God through Christ’s death.  When Jesus was leaving the earth, He left the disciples with one command: Matthew 28: 18-20  And Jesus cam e and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in [ a ] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” This is a mandate of every believer. It was not for the first disciples only, nor was it for people on the pulpit. Every believer is an ambassador of Jesus Christ, as Paul states in 1 Cor 5:18.  Why Share The Gospel?  The Harvest is plentiful.  People are hungry to receive hope and peace. They are searching for it in every aspect. Little do they know that hope is in Christ Jesu

Seeing Christ through the book of Psalms

  Psalm 4 Photo credits to pixel. Personal devotions. Is Psalms one of your favorite books in the Bible? What do you love in the book of Psalms? Most people love the book of Psalms because of David’s Prayers, praises, and devotions. I love the book of Pslams because of the lessons it contains and how it displays the role of Christ in our lives.  Psalm 4 is written by David, and The Passion Translation Bible titles it as a Melody of David. This Psalm is like a song. It comes after Psalm 3, written by David, after being forced to flee from his son Absalom. You can read my devotion on  Psalm 3 : Devotion: Psalm3 Chapter 4, David starts by praising God for who He is in his life, mentioning that God is his righteousness and Champion. He ends by affirming the confidence He has in God that makes Him sleep in peace, and He lives unafraid.  Camp here with me as we break down this Psalm with the help of the Holy Spirit.  God my righteousness.  David acknowledges that righteousness comes from God

      Psalm 3  This Psalm was written by David when we fled from His son Absalom. Absalom planned to overthrow, and his father had to run from him. Imagine your own son taking your position by force while you are alive. Some of the people who were closer to David also joined Absalom.  But this had been prophesied by Nathan as a punishment to David for committing adultery. David turns to God for help; he cries to Him to save him from his enemies, and who were his enemies? His own son. David says his enemies are so many, and they even say God cannot save Him. But David is assured of God he serves. He calls him my Shield, my Glory, my only hope. David’s trust in God was so confident that not even him being at a threat would not change it. Even knowing he was reaping the consequences of his actions would not change his hope in God.  David ends by saying that he is not afraid; he calls on the Lord, and God will slap his enemies, breaking their teeth. He continues to say salvation comes from
