OUR MAGNUM OPUS
Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work (John 4:34).
PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc. Dsc. DD.
The divine assignment God has entrusted to us is to bring salvation to the nations, expand His kingdom, and complete the work that the Lord Jesus started. The Bible says, “...he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand” (Isaiah 53:10). In Mark 16:15, He said, “… Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.” This is our magnum opus—the grandest work of all history.
Others before us began it, but we’ve been called to complete it. This generation has been chosen for the grand finale, and we will prevail. Hallelujah! We’re the most equipped generation in the history of the Church. We’ve been blessed beyond measure. We’ve received knowledge, insight, platforms, resources, and divine connections. We’ve been given all the grace necessary. There are no excuses. We have the message. We have the mandate. And we have the means.
When you set long-term goals for career, travel, or personal success, make sure to consider setting your personal targets for the full preaching of the Gospel. The Master did. He said, “...My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work” (John 4:34). His focus was on completing His divine mission.
The Lord gave us a clear vision; He said, “…this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come” (Matthew 24:14). And we’re the ones to preach it. We’ve been graced and empowered to do it, and we will not falter. The Gospel is penetrating every nation, every city, and every community.
Give more of your time, energy and resources into the Gospel. Dedicate yourself wholeheartedly, knowing that your labour of love is yielding eternal harvest. Stay committed; intercede for sinners, persevere in love, and let your financial involvement continue to bear lasting fruits for the Kingdom. We’re in the final stretch. Stay fervent. Stay yielded to the Spirit. The Gospel will cover the earth as the Lord has said. Hallelujah!
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for counting me faithful and making me a partner in the end-time mandate of completing the full preaching of the Gospel in the nations of the world. The Gospel prevails through me; and I thank you for your grace, wisdom and divine strategies being employed by the Church to finish the great work you started, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
FURTHER STUDY:
John 4:34-37 Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work. 35 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest. 36 And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together. 37 And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.
Romans 15:18-19 For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed, 19 Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.
Mark 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
