ASSURED HOPE – MISSION GO: THE APOSTOLIC MISSIONARY MANDATE! 

“And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All AUTHORITY has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 GO therefore and MAKE DISCIPLES OF ALL THE NATIONS, BAPTIZING them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 TEACHING them to OBSERVE all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS, EVEN TO THE END OF THE AGE” Amen” Matthew 28:18-20. 

The kingdom mandate and assignment is MISSION GO – it’s to GO to the ends of the earth with the Gospel, the good news of what Jesus has done for human redemption, thereby reconciling them to God by the commission WORD of reconciliation [2 Corinthians 5:17-21]. The Gospel is about reconciliation – the reconciling of men from their depraved state to the glorious redemption deed in Christ Jesus stead. The MISSION GO is built upon and about the ASSURED HOPE in the grace of the commission – signaling that: “HE WILL BE WITH US ALWAYS, UNTO THE ENDS OF THE AGE”. What an extraordinary hope to bank upon, being assured, while in obedience to the Mission Go in the grace, in Christ Jesus stead. 

“And this GOSPEL of the kingdom will be PREACHED in all the world as a WITNESS to all the NATIONS, and then the end will come” Matthew 24:14/NKJV. 

“But you shall RECEIVE power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be WITNESSES to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and TO THE END OF THE EARTH” Acts 1:8/NKJV. 

It’s the knowing and understanding that the cost of a soul it’s not measured by the things accumulated and owned [Psalms 49:6-9] but by the souls being saved, by the souls being restored from backsliding and by ensuring the growing of the lambs to sheep and by enhancing sheep to make more lambs. [Luke 15:1-32; John 21:15-17]. 

There’s NO ROOM for making just converts or members for applause but the making of DISCIPLES only, that go making other disciples in the grace, unto the ends of the earth in Christ Jesus’ stead. For it’s mission go, to seek and save that which is lost and reconcile back to the Father God in Christ Jesus stead. 

“For the Son of Man has come to SEEK and to SAVE that which was lost” Luke 19:10/NKJV 

The commissioned mission of the Church, which you are, as the Church – for the Church it’s not the architectural building or structure but you -, is MISSION . . . MISSION unto the ends of the earth: Soul Salvation, Backsliding Restoration and Growing the Church, in the grace in Christ Jesus stead.  

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“And He said to them, “GO into all the world and PREACH THE GOSPEL to every creature. 16 He who BELIEVES and is BAPTIZED will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these SIGNS will follow those who BELIEVE: In My NAME they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; 18 they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” 19 So then, after the Lord had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God. 20 And they WENT OUT and PREACHED EVERYWHERE, the Lord working with them and CONFIRMING THE WORD through the ACCOMPANYING SIGNS. Amen” Mark 16:15-20. 

“How I kept back nothing that was helpful [profitable], but PROCLAIMED it to you, and taught you PUBLICLY and from HOUSE to HOUSE, 21 TESTIFYING to Jews, and also to Greeks, REPENTANCE toward God and FAITH toward our Lord Jesus Christ” Acts 20:20-21. 

“For I am NOT ASHAMED of THE GOSPEL of Christ, for it is the POWER of God to SALVATION for EVERYONE who BELIEVES, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. 17 For in it the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God is REVEALED from faith to faith; as it is written, “The JUST [RIGHTEOUS] shall LIVE by faith” Romans 1:16-17/NKJV. 

SUMMARY 

This message is a bold commissioning charge titled: ASSURED HOPE – MISSION GO: THE APOSTOLIC MISSIONARY MANDATE! 

It calls the Church — which is YOU — to arise in obedience to the Great Commission with the confidence that Christ’s presence and authority go with us to the ends of the earth. 

  1. THE MANDATE: AUTHORITY + ASSIGNMENT + ASSURANCE

“And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All AUTHORITY has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 GO therefore and MAKE DISCIPLES OF ALL THE NATIONS, BAPTIZING them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 TEACHING them to OBSERVE all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS, EVEN TO THE END OF THE AGE” Amen” Matthew 28:18-20. 

  • GO: The kingdom mandate and assignment is MISSION GO — to go to the ends of the earth with the Gospel. 
  • MAKE DISCIPLES: Not just converts or members for applause, but DISCIPLES who make other disciples in the grace. 
  • THE GOSPEL IS RECONCILIATION: The good news of what Jesus has done for human redemption — reconciling men from a depraved state to the glorious redemption deed in Christ Jesus’ stead [2 Corinthians 5:17-21]. 
  • ASSURED HOPE: This mission is built on the promise — “HE WILL BE WITH US ALWAYS, UNTO THE ENDS OF THE AGE”. That is the extraordinary hope we bank on while obeying. 
  1. THE SCOPE AND POWER FOR MISSION
  • GLOBAL WITNESS: “And this GOSPEL of the kingdom will be PREACHED in all the world as a WITNESS to all the NATIONS, and then the end will come” Matthew 24:14/NKJV. 
  • EMPOWERED WITNESSES: “But you shall RECEIVE power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be WITNESSES to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and TO THE END OF THE EARTH” Acts 1:8/NKJV. 
  • SIGNS FOLLOW: The Lord works with us, CONFIRMING THE WORD through ACCOMPANYING SIGNS [Mark 16:15-20]. 
  1. THE VALUE SYSTEM OF THE MISSION

The cost of a soul is not measured by things accumulated and owned [Psalm 49:6-9] but by: 

  1. Souls being SAVED 
  2. Souls being RESTORED from backsliding [Luke 15:1-32] 
  3. Growing lambs to sheep, and sheep making more lambs [John 21:15-17] 

The heart of the mission: “For the Son of Man has come to SEEK and to SAVE that which was lost” Luke 19:10/NKJV 

  1. WHO YOU ARE IN THIS MISSION

The Church is not a building — YOU ARE THE CHURCH. 
Therefore, the commissioned mission of the Church is: 
MISSION . . . MISSION unto the ends of the earth: 
Soul Salvation, Backsliding Restoration and Growing the Church in the grace in Christ Jesus’ stead. 

Our lifestyle of mission: 

  • PROCLAIM PUBLICLY and from HOUSE to HOUSE, testifying REPENTANCE toward God and FAITH toward our Lord Jesus Christ [Acts 20:20-21] 
  • NOT ASHAMED of THE GOSPEL, for it is the POWER of God to SALVATION for everyone who believes [Romans 1:16-17/NKJV] 

CALL TO ACTION 

Dear friend, the command is clear: GO. 

  1. RECEIVE THE AUTHORITY: Jesus has ALL authority. You go in His name, not your strength. 
  2. EMBRACE THE ASSURANCE: He said “I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS”. You are not alone on this mission. 
  3. OBEY THE ASSIGNMENT: 
    GO – Step out. Talk to someone this week about Jesus. 
    MAKE DISCIPLES – Don’t just win people, walk with them. Baptize and Teach them to observe all He commanded. 
    PREACH THE GOSPEL – To every creature. Publicly and from house to house. 
    VALUE WHAT GOD VALUES: Stop counting applause, members, or things. Start counting souls saved, restored, and discipled. 
    LIVE THE GOSPEL: Be unashamed. Let the Gospel be the power of God through your life for salvation. 

Rise up Church! The fields are white. The Spirit is with us. The authority is given. The time is now. 
MISSION GO — unto the ends of the earth, until every nation has heard. 

Amen!
