In the same way that you gave me a mission in the world, I give them a mission in the world. John 17:18 (MSG)

…You will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. Acts 1:8b (NIV)

…The most important thing is that I complete my mission, the work that the Lord Jesus gave me – to tell people the Good News about God’s grace. Acts 20:24b (NCV)

So you must go and make disciples of all nations. Baptize them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.  20  Teach them to obey everything I have commanded you… Matthew 28:19-20 (NIRV)

PRINCIPLES THAT MAKE MY MISSION POSSIBLE:

  1. CONVERSATION (PRAYER) – THE PRINCIPLE OF PREPARATION. Pray, asking God to SUPPLY me with opportunities to share. And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message… for which I am in chains. Colossians 4:3 (NIV)

So pray to the Lord [who is in charge of;  L  of] the harvest, that he will send more ·workers [laborers] ·to gather [ L  into] his harvest. Matthew 9:38 (EXB)

Pray, asking God to help me SEE the opportunities. Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. Colossians 4:2 (NIV)

I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest. John 4:35b (NIV)

Pray, asking God to help me SEIZE my opportunities. Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Colossians 4:5 (NIV)

And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ… Colossians 4:3 (NIV)

  1. COOPERATION – THE PRINCIPLE OF PARTNERSHIP. We work together with God. So we are asking you not to receive God’s grace and then do nothing with it. 2 Corinthians 6:1 (NIRV)

…We are very weak, but the Spirit helps us with our weakness. Romans 8:26 (ERV)

Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Galatians 5:25 (NIV)

The Lord opened her heart to respond to Paul’s message. Acts 16:14 (NIV) When the Helper comes, He will show the world the truth about sin. He will show the world about being right with God. And He will show the world what it is to be guilty. John 16:8 (NLV)

“No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, and I will raise them up at the last day. John 6:44 (NIV)

I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow.  7  So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow. 1 Corinthians 3:6-7 (NIV)

  1. COMMUNICATION – THE PRINCIPLE OF PROCLAMATION. Pray that I will proclaim this message as clearly as I should. Colossians 4:4 (NLT)

Clear communication requires proper INFORMATION. …so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ… Colossians 4:3 (NIV)

I have complete confidence in the gospel; it is God’s power to save all who believe, first the Jews and also the Gentiles. Romans 1:16 (GNT)

Be careful… about what you teach. Keep on doing this, and you will save not only yourself, but the people who hear you. 1 Timothy 4:16 (CEV)

Clear communication requires proper DEMONSTRATION. Be careful about the way you live …. Keep on doing this, and you will save not only yourself, but the people who hear you. 1 Timothy 4:16 (CEV)

Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders… Colossians 4:5a (NIV)

NOTE: I communicate VISUALLY & VERBALLY. Be careful to live properly among your unbelieving neighbors. Then even if they accuse you of doing wrong, they will see your honorable behavior, and they will give honor to God when he judges the world. 1 Peter 2:12 (NLT)

Clear communication requires proper PRESENTATION. Let your speech at all times be gracious (pleasant and winsome), seasoned [as it were] with salt, [so that you may never be at a loss] to know how you ought to answer anyone [who puts a question to you]. Colossians 4:6 (AMPC)

Purpose #4 – I Am Saved To A Soul Saving Mission But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect… 1 Peter 3:15 (NIV1984)

All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: 19 that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. 20 We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. 2 Corinthians 5:18-20a (NIV)
