The Great Commission

The Great Commission is a mandate given by Jesus to his disciples extended to all believers to reach the entire globe with the Gospel of Salvation, and to bring nations to the knowledge of the truth through discipleship and to consequently bring territorial and socialitoria transformation.

These are where you can find the Great Commission:

 

1) Mark 16:15-20

 

15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

 

16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

 

17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

 

18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

 

19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.

 

20 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.

 

2) Matthew 28:18-20

 

18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

 

19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

 

20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

 

3) Acts 1:6-11

 

6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?

 

7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.

 

8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

 

9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.

 

10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;

 

11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

Prayer :

Abba Father Almighty God, in the name of Jesus, we come before you, humbled by the divine mandate bestowed upon us, the Great Commission, echoing the words of your Son, Jesus Christ. In Mark 16:15-20, He charged His disciples, and by extension, all believers, to go forth into all the world and proclaim the Gospel of Salvation to every creature. We stand in awe of the profound responsibility to bring nations to the knowledge of the truth through discipleship, ushering in territorial and societal transformation.

Lord, as we embark on this sacred mission, let the words of Mark 16:16 resonate deeply within our hearts — a call to salvation for those who believe and a plea for redemption for those who do not. May the signs that follow believers be evident in our lives, casting out devils, speaking with new tongues, taking up serpents without harm, and laying hands on the sick for their recovery. Your promise is true, and we trust in your unfailing word.

In Matthew 28:18-20, Jesus declared that all power is given unto Him in heaven and on earth. With this

divine authority, we are commissioned to teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Empower us to observe and impart all that You have commanded us, with the assurance that Your presence will be with us always, even unto the end of the world.

Acts 1:6-11 reveals the disciples' longing for the restoration of the kingdom, and your response, Lord,

redirects their focus. Grant us the wisdom to understand that the times and seasons are in Your hands. Fill us with the power of the Holy Ghost, that we may be witnesses for Christ in Jerusalem, in all Judaea, in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

As we gaze toward heaven, anticipating the return of our Savior, instill in us a sense of urgency,

purpose, and unwavering faith. May our actions and words confirm the truth of the Gospel, just as the disciples went forth, preaching everywhere, with the Lord working alongside them, confirming the word with signs following.

In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus, we pray, believing and declaring, Amen.
