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.
Speaker 1: Of the book of John, chapter 15, verse 16 and 17.
Speaker 1: I'll read from the amplified version it says and keep on bearing and that your fruit will remain and be lasting.
Speaker 1: So whatever you ask of my Father in my name, as my representative, he may give to you.
Speaker 1: Verse 17,.
Speaker 1: This is what I have commanded you that you love and selfishly seek the best of one another.
Speaker 1: Here Jesus is reminding us about two things About, number one the end time harvest.
Speaker 1: The end time harvest is very ripe and we should give ourselves faithfully to what God has planted us.
Speaker 1: The question is in every place that God has planted us, are we effective?
Speaker 1: If God has planted us in the marketplace, are we effective in the marketplace?
Speaker 1: If God has planted us in ministry, are we really being effective in the marketplace and are we bearing fruits?
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.
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.
Speaker 1: Here we we find the place of obedience.
Speaker 1: Are we really obedient in the place where God has planted us to be?
Speaker 1: Verse 17 says this is what I command you that you should love and unselfishly seek the best of one another.
Speaker 1: Jesus commands us that we should love our neighbors as we love ourselves.
Speaker 1: The question is are we loving one another?
Speaker 1: Are we really loving our neighbors?
Speaker 1: Are we really being effective in the place where God has planted us?
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.
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.
Speaker 1: So this week, let's continue to donate because God is planting us and because of your donation.
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.
Speaker 1: Be blessed.
