HOW INVOLVED ARE YOU?
And He said to them 'Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.' Mark 16:15.
Have you ever come across the above words as you read or study the bible? Do you know it was said by Jesus few hours before He went to heaven? Do you know it was an instruction given to His disciples and which must be carried out without compromise?
Permit me to ask you this question. Who are you to Jesus?
If you consider yourself a disciple of Jesus Christ, then what are you doing about this Great GO Commission?
My dear, you have a role to play. Failure to respond amounts to disobedience, and its consequences can be grieveous.
You can Go, Groan and/or Give.
We do the three Gs (Go, Groan, Give) of the Great Commission. You can be part of it. It's highly rewarding. God bless you.

It will turn out for your good
Peter was a fraustrated fisher man when Jesus met him. He laboured all the night to catch fishes, but by the time he drew his net out of the river, he found it empty. what a wasted effort. In fraustration and bitterness of heart, he was washing his net to return home empty-handed.
It was this time that Jesus placed a demand on him. 'Let me use your boat for my preaching engagement'. Though fraustrated, yet he gave his boat for the master's use. After using the boat, Jesus did not abandoned him in his plight. He led him to what to do, and this led to a great catch of fishes that morning so much that his net almost got broken (Luke 5:1-6). Realising that releasing his tools for Christ's use gave him such a big success in his profession, Peter did not hesitate to follow Jesus when He asked him to do so. He (Peter) eventually became a vessle mightily used by God to perform all sorts of miracles (Acts 5:14-16).
Jesus will work on whatever you give to Him and to the extent to which you allow Him. But mind you, it will pay you greatly. He wants to work on your life and return it to you better. He desires to work on your job, home, bussiness, carrier, etc and return them back to you better.
If I were you, I will turn my life over to Him and trust Him to do with it what He considered best.
