00:00:00.179 --> 00:00:35.755
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Commission Thursday, where we believe every believer is the light, every believer is the salt, every believer is the Christ's ambassador and every believer is the carrier.

00:00:35.755 --> 00:00:40.718
<v Speaker 1>Of the book of John, chapter 15, verse 16 and 17.

00:00:40.718 --> 00:01:05.378
<v Speaker 1>I'll read from the amplified version it says and keep on bearing and that your fruit will remain and be lasting.

00:01:05.378 --> 00:01:14.826
<v Speaker 1>So whatever you ask of my Father in my name, as my representative, he may give to you.

00:01:14.826 --> 00:01:16.121
<v Speaker 1>Verse 17,.

00:01:16.121 --> 00:01:25.034
<v Speaker 1>This is what I have commanded you that you love and selfishly seek the best of one another.

00:01:25.034 --> 00:01:32.668
<v Speaker 1>Here Jesus is reminding us about two things About, number one the end time harvest.

00:01:32.668 --> 00:01:40.492
<v Speaker 1>The end time harvest is very ripe and we should give ourselves faithfully to what God has planted us.

00:01:40.959 --> 00:01:46.352
<v Speaker 1>The question is in every place that God has planted us, are we effective?

00:01:46.352 --> 00:01:50.951
<v Speaker 1>If God has planted us in the marketplace, are we effective in the marketplace?

00:01:50.951 --> 00:01:58.906
<v Speaker 1>If God has planted us in ministry, are we really being effective in the marketplace and are we bearing fruits?

00:01:58.906 --> 00:02:08.801
<v Speaker 1>Because Jesus' command is for us to bear much fruits and for these fruits to last, we have to, number one obey his commandments.

00:02:08.801 --> 00:02:17.524
<v Speaker 1>Jesus command us in matthew, chapter 28, from verse 18 to 20 to 20, that we should go out and proclaim the gospel of the good news.

00:02:17.524 --> 00:02:21.008
<v Speaker 1>Here we we find the place of obedience.

00:02:21.008 --> 00:02:25.756
<v Speaker 1>Are we really obedient in the place where God has planted us to be?

00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:36.741
<v Speaker 1>Verse 17 says this is what I command you that you should love and unselfishly seek the best of one another.

00:02:36.741 --> 00:02:42.152
<v Speaker 1>Jesus commands us that we should love our neighbors as we love ourselves.

00:02:42.152 --> 00:02:45.413
<v Speaker 1>The question is are we loving one another?

00:02:45.413 --> 00:02:47.461
<v Speaker 1>Are we really loving our neighbors?

00:02:47.461 --> 00:02:53.191
<v Speaker 1>Are we really being effective in the place where God has planted us?

00:02:53.191 --> 00:03:03.685
<v Speaker 1>So this week, as we continue even to donate for the people who have been affected by the floods, god is reminding us to love one another.

00:03:03.685 --> 00:03:13.592
<v Speaker 1>So this is just a reminder that we should go out and be effective in the place where God has planted us, because this is the commandment of God.

00:03:13.592 --> 00:03:21.473
<v Speaker 1>So this week, let's continue to donate because God is planting us and because of your donation.

00:03:21.473 --> 00:03:31.109
<v Speaker 1>Your donation will reach that person who has been affected by the floods and God's love will be demonstrated in him through you.

00:03:31.109 --> 00:03:32.111
<v Speaker 1>Be blessed.
