Be strong and courageous for God

Matthew 10: 1-33 “Christian have been called to embark to most adventurous expedition ever-the kingdom mission .The expedition is not for any selfish reason ,fame or fortune but for the sake of the lost.” Taken from: ASEAN

NOTES In the bible, Jesus first send his diciples into the mission field. Missionary work is no child’s play… V16-I’m sending you out like sheep among wolves.Therefore be shrewed as snakes and as innocent as dove

We are to carry out the kingdom of mission not just relying on our own strength.every single person have their own different mission field… where is your mission field??
This question u must ask God cause only God can lead u to the right one.

How come nowadays people emphasize so much on mission work,to reach out to the unreach of the world.? Rev 22:20 He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.” Amen come Lord Jesus. Jesus proclaim that his second coming will be very near, there’s more ppl out there haven’t heard of the Gospels,or maybe the people closest to u also also never heard of the gospel. Deut 31:6 Be strong and courageous……. Time is running short, so as Christian we must have the courage to share to the circle of people around us….this is no more moments for us to be ashamed of the Gospels… Do not hesitate for others to be saved.

There’re 4 factors which we are to consider on order to be effective missionary.
1. wat did Jesus expect us to achieve? Workers are not sent out aimlessly but are given authority to bring the kingdom of God into peoples’ lives.(v1)
2. The focus of the mission,(v6 ) who is our target group?
3. wat is the message that we wanna preach? (v7) ‘the kingdom of heaven is near’
4. we’re to expect dangers (v 17-31) Dun think mission trip is a fun trip cause it’s not !!

v17- “Be on your guard against men; they will hand you over to the local councils and flog you in their synagogues.
So brother and sister in Christ, be alert at all times . Do not lose faith when these things happen. They are to be expected as the price to be paid for kingdom work.

V22- All men will hate you because of me, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved.
