ANOINTED FOR THE MARKET PLACETHE GREAT COMMISSION

The reason for this academic change conference is for students most especially to

understand the role played by their dreams in the great commission. Its one thing to have a dream and

its another thing to know what it really means. Though many have dreams in life, they find it difficult to

fulfill it. However if you are a child of God your dream must be enveloped in the great commission.

Many Christians are not effective in fulfilling their dreams because they dont know Gods

dream or they have kept Gods dream aside. The fulfillment of your dream will become much more

effective when you acknowledge the fact that your dream is a product of Gods dream. The great

commission is Gods dream for the world.

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the father, and of the son, and of the

Holy Ghost. Teaching them to observe all things [mathew28:20]-------The underlined portion of the quoted verse

is an instruction. As a child of God, He expects you to effect the change you want to see in your world

by preaching the Gospel. It is your responsibility to teach and preach the gospel. It is something you

consciously do in response to His love. If you really love Jesus you will be willing to save others out of

sin and its consequences. The great commission is a set of commands Jesus gave his church through the

spirit after His recsurrection.These commands are the answers to lifes problem.

DIFFERENT FORMS OF THE GREAT COMMISSIONSOUL WINNING: Go ye into all world and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.And these signs shall follow them that believe------- [mark16:15-17].Jesus here was referring to soul winning. As a child of God nothing should mean more to youthan leading those in your area of calling who have not yet known the Lord into salvation. God has

committed to you the ministry of reconciliation; not only did He call you into the fellowship of His son

Jesus [1cor1:9], Hes also called you to partner with him in soul winning. People are Gods greatest

assets on earth. Until you start winning people for Jesus, youre not involved in Gods asset building.

The Lord is always reaching out to the unsaved, to touch their lives with His power and glory; but He

can only do so through you. Therefore you must always be passionate about soul winning.

DISCIPLESHIP: The bible says inMathew28:18 that all power is given unto Jesus. This means just likeJesus we have been bestowed with authority to train, build Christians to maturity through the teaching

of the word until they start living and expressing the Christ like life. As a Christian you must vibrantly

be about this great cause. You must be totally committed to training and equipping others for ministry.

[acts1:8 and eph4:11]. You cannot be an effective Christian or pastor if you have not gone through the

process of discipleship. A disciple therefore is one who has decided to lay down his life for the sake of thegospel or a disciple is a disciplined follower of Jesus Christ.

CHURCH PLANTING: Having believed in Jesus Christ, one of the greatest and beautiful things youshould crave and belong to is a church family; a place where there is constant fellowship with brethren.

If you truly love God then you will make fellowshipping with brethren a paramount endeavor in your

life, because there is no love without fellowship. Fellowship means oneness of spirit, communing and

sharing together. To promote fellowship amongst brethren, church planting is of great importance. A

church is a disciple training centre; a place where believers assemble and build personal relationships

with God through worship and fellowship. It involves planting a cell [a small group of believers that

gather at least once a week for worship fellowship and discipleship] which is for every believer and

planting a structured church [an organized assembly of believers] which is not for every believer.Realize that there can be no fellowship and consistent growth without you belonging to a good local

church. Thats the reason Jesus said I shall build my church and the gates of Hades shall not prevail

against it. The more fellowship you have with brethren in a local church and a pastor over you, the more

Christs attributes and character are manifested in your life.

MISSIONS: Jesus said in John20:19 as the father has sent me, so send I you. A great church is not just

defined by it seating capacity but by it sending capacity. Churches must be greatly involved in sending

forth mature and trained believers to their respective sphere of influence to accomplish the great

commission.

Realize that you are a teacher and a preacher in your world. God has anointed you to deliver

men from bondage into the glorious liberty of the sons of God. Therefore passionately be about your

heavenly fathers, business of turning men and women to righteousness. Talk to someone about Jesus

today.
