His Last Command Our First Concern!
And what was this last command, Mathew 28 Verses 19-20. Jesus asks us to go and make disciples of all the nations.

Aloha ke akua,

Hope your life is filled with love and sunshine today. Yes today was a busy day.
First, we had to lead worship (I was actually just doing PowerPoint and singing from the background).It was a blessed time. Then Rafael, led us in Devotion, subject You are the salt of the Earth. Now this was the most clear explanation I ever got on this passage, it is clear to me God was using Him..wanna ride? Mathew 5:13 says seeing the needs of the people, Jesus went up the mountain to pray. What a model.

Jesus prayed when Her saw needs!!!

Today we would more probably jump into strategising, call consultants, look at the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats before taking a leap. What about the mountain? Now what was the context of this? Earlier on, the Bible says, You are the salt of the Earth...and we know that God also declared, whereever you set your foot, you shall possess.

Application?

Job 6:6, Leviticus 2:13 and Mark 9:49-50 talks about salt and its various uses. Ie

1. That which is tasteless cannot be eaten without salt.
2. Salt was used to accompany offerings
3. Salt generates additional heat. Jewish women used to put it under their pots when cooking, inorder to generate additional heat. At some point this thermal property vanished (hence the expression the salt lost its saltines), and the salt was thrown out and men trampled upon it.

As salt, You need to be;
1. Holy (purity)
2. a preservative (do not be silent). Preserve biblical truth.
3. Flavour to life.

Next we looked at the HI vision, baically, this is a leadership training to equip leaders and help them fulfill the great commission. 2 John Haggai (pronounced Ha-gi-yay) comments that touched me the most are

1. Lord enlarge me with the concept of your vision for my life.
2. Jesus i the only answer to the individual dilemma.

We later looked at the church in the contemporary world. Quite interesting. Write to me if you want the notes on this and consequent sessions.

Kind of tired now..Just from playing Basket Ball, Ping-pong and baby-foot! I should really cut down on the number of hours I pend on sports and the Internet.

Be Blessed as you contemplate your relationship with Jesus and your reaction to his Last Command and Charge!
