Preach Christ

One of the fundamental things that we need to do as a believer is to preach the Gospel and make disciples. This was the last commission of Christ in Matthew 28:18-20, more popularly known as the Great Commission, which is for us as believers to go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit and teaching them to obey all that He had taught us.

In 2 Timothy 4:2, Paul exhorts Timothy to remain focussed to preach the Word, in season and out of season, to correct, rebuke, and encourage, with great patience, and careful instruction. In verse 5, Paul continues to exhort Timothy to keep his head up in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, and discharge all the duties of his ministry. Paul then said the famous words in verse 7 that he has fought the good fight, have finished the race, and have kept the faith. It is the words that all believers aspire to say at the end of our own journey here on earth.

2 Timothy is about finishing well, to keep the faith until the very end. We keep on preaching the Gospel and fulfil the duties of our ministries until our last breadth. Don’t be distracted by the pleasures of the world, and don’t be bogged down by our old age and infirmities. We continue to fulfil God’s plans and purposes for our lives in Christ Jesus so long as we still have breadth in us, and we start now and not later.

Have a good week ahead, everyone! Persevere on with the faith! Never give up on Christ and the amazingly powerful work He is doing in our lives and in our midst! Yield to Him, and we will experience His power in our lives! The power of God will be manifested for His glory in the transformation of our lives!
