"And he said to them, 'Go into all the world and proclaim
the gospel to the whole creation.'" (Mark 16:15)
He also says,
"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations". (Matthew 28:19)
This leads many to get on a plane and head to another country to serve, love, and teach about Jesus. What an excellent way to serve the Lord and fulfill this great commission!
But did you know you can reach an unreached people group right there in the comfort of your own home?
You can!!
Our own children are a nation that needs to be taught and discipled!
God made a promise to Abraham:
"I have made you a father of many nations." (Genesis 17:5)
Specifically, Abraham was given two sons, and through those two sons came so many descendants--too many to count!
We have been made mothers of many nations if we have a child!
We do not have to cross oceans or travel miles to fulfill the great commission.
Our children are an unreached people group until we reach them for Christ. Reach them.
Thank you for your words today. Satan is doing a great job! His is distracting mothers everywhere. He is keeping mothers from being disciples, therefore he is also keeping our children from knowing what discipleship looks like. The up and coming generation is so important. It is up to us to teach them the ways of the Lord, for I believe that they will be the ones that will be on the earth when our Savior Jesus Christ returns. I just wrote a great post about this very thing.
