Mark 16:15 And then he told them, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone.
The command to go into the world and preach the Good News is given to everyone who believes in the Lord Jesus Christ. The news that we carry is not religious conversion or ritual or ceremonial rites but ‘The Good News’. The Good News sets people free from guilt, shame and condemnation. The Good News heals people from mental, emotional and physical sickness. The Good News delivers them from the chains of addictions, bondages and generational curses.
Jesus said, “Go into the world”. He said go into your supermarket with the Good News. He commanded us to carry this Good News into our secular jobs and society. The Good News will bring clarity to a colleague who is confused about their gender identity. It will bring freedom to friends who are struggling with secret sins and identity issues. When we turn the news on we only hear bad news. News about war, death, bloodshed, famine, animosity, recession or redundancies but we are the bearers of the Good News, not bad news.
Receive the anointing to share your faith with humility and respond to the command with boldness. It is time to go into our world of influence and courageously share the Good News.
Get-set-Go:
1. Commitment: Commit to obey the commandment is the first step. God does not need our talent. We might disqualify ourselves as timid, slow in speech and confidence but Jesus only wants our availability not our abilities. Commit to carry the Good News.
2. Consistent: Consistency in our spiritual discipline is a qualifier. If we go into the world with no prayer or purity, we will be defeated. Be consistent with prayer, fasting and equipped with the Word of God.
3. Courage: The early church prayed for boldness when they were persecuted and reprimanded not to share the Good News. Preaching condemnation and judgement is not sharing the Good News. The Good News is packed with the truth and goodness not threats and condemnation. Pray for courage and the grace to share the Good News with love.
Take an unflinching step to preach the Good News to the people under your influence in 2025.
Prayer: Dearest Holy Spirit, Give me the words that sustain the weary, bring hope to the hopeless and share the Good News. Amen.
