Obey the Divine Mandate
The DNA of Discipleship: Advancing the Mission
He told them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.
Luke 10:2
In our Spiritual D.N.A: the D stands for Divine truth and we engage with the Scriptures. The N stands for Nurturing relationships and we ask each other questions.
The A stands for Advancing the mission. The Apostles were ones sent by God. We join in God’s mission by praying for laborers for the harvest. In Luke 10:2 Jesus said, ”The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest.” It is a strange command but Jesus said we should pray this way.
A tool to remember to pray is to set your cell phone alarm to 2 minutes after 10 am or pm where 10:02 reminds us of the Luke 10:2 passage and the need to pray. Do not under-estimate this simple prayer as God will begin to show you amazing things you can do as you pray for more laborers.
For Reflection:
- When have you ever felt you are on a mission?
- Where do you see needs where God might be sending you to help?
Make Life Count:
- Set your alarm to 10:02. What do you think might happen?
Hungry for More?
- Write out what you believe is your calling and mission from God.
Together in mission…
