Our opening scripture is the Lord’s instruction to everyone who has received Christ; you’re to take the message of salvation to your world. You’re to teach those in your world how to live and walk in righteousness; you’re to teach all nations. What does He mean by "teach all nations?" Though synonymously used, it’s important to note that there’s a difference between nations and countries; countries have borders, but nations don’t.
"Nations" in our theme scripture doesn’t mean countries; it derives from the Greek word "Ethnos," which refers to different groups of people, sharing a common interest. It’s our job to take the Gospel to every man’s world; to the different groups (ethnos) to which we belong. They may be in the world of politicians, doctors, artisans, musicians, academicians, lawyers, police or the armed forces; you’re God’s voice to your world.
You’re a missionary, an oracle of God, commissioned to help the unconverted in your world Prayer Thanks be unto God, who has made me an able minister of the Gospel, to impact my world with the knowledge of Christ. I make full proof of my ministry, as a preacher and teacher of righteousness, proclaiming liberty to the oppressed, and bringing deliverance and the light of Christ to those in bondage, by the power of the Holy Spirit, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
