Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to another episode of Commission Thursday, where we believe that every believer is a slight, every believer is a salt and every believer is Christ.
Speaker 1: Ambassador, turn with me.
Speaker 1: In the book of 1st Corinthians, chapter 3, verse 6, the scripture says I planted, apollo watered, but God all the while was causing the growth.
Speaker 1: So neither is it is the one who plant nor the one who waters anything, but only God who causes the growth.
Speaker 1: Every time I read this portion of scripture it reminded me of the unity that we need to have as the body of Christ.
Speaker 1: It gives me a picture of what we used to call back in school the isosolus triangle.
Speaker 1: When I see me and my brother or me on my fellow friend, we are partnering to do thing that there is a higher, higher power that is a superior than all of us.
Speaker 1: So if we can have a teamwork at our personal level, then we all merge with a higher power.
Speaker 1: It gives us the strength or gives us the picture of what God intended for us.
Speaker 1: So when Paul is writing, he says that there is what he did, then there is what a polos did.
Speaker 1: Then God was able to merge what Paul and a polos did to bring something good and we can see a breed of a new generation, and this is what we need in this time and season.
Speaker 1: I know some of us.
Speaker 1: We are not effective in the marketplace.
Speaker 1: We are not effective to share the gospel because probably we want to do everything by our own and the scriptures Reminding us that there is a part that each and every one of us need to do so that we can have the growth of the charge, and these does not really need to happen at the church level, but these need to happen in your family.
Speaker 1: Probably you are not so good with our discipleship, but the moment you open this platform to share the gospel with another person, god will always bring somebody else who can help you with the discipleship.
Speaker 1: God will bring somebody who can help you with the material for the discipleship.
Speaker 1: And he's saying one thing that is so critical that it is God who causes the growth.
Speaker 1: So sometimes we don't share the gospel because we are afraid and we want to play the role of God, and God is reminding us let's play our part and allow him to play his part, because it's our part to reach out, it's our part to share the gospel, but it's the part of the response or the responsibility of God to ensure the growth, the transformation of an individual.
Speaker 1: So God is calling us that we need to step out of our comfort zone.
Speaker 1: We need to step out of the zone that we are used to and steps are to another, unfamiliar ground to share the gospel with others.
Speaker 1: So the moment we share the gospel with others, god, holy Spirit, is able to convict them and to transform them, and we are here as a product of what God has done in our lives.
Speaker 1: Are you able to step out so that God can use you to transform others, so that when we read the book of history, your name can be mentioned, because this is our responsibility To be the light and to be the salt.
Speaker 1: So be the light and be the salt where God has planted you in this season.
Speaker 1: Be blessed.
