Direction, Week 1 - Day 3: From Belief to Mission

Direction, Week 1 Day 3: From Belief to Mission Devotional Knowing that Jesus has all authority should naturally lead us somewhere – to the mission He’s given us. It’s not enough to simply believe the right things about Jesus; true faith always results in action. Jesus connects His authority directly to the Great Commission, commanding us to make disciples of all nations. This isn’t just for pastors or missionaries – it’s for every follower of Christ. The question isn’t whether you’re called to make disciples; the question is how God wants to use you in this mission. Maybe it’s with your family, your coworkers, your neighbors, or people across the globe. The beautiful truth is that because Jesus has all authority, you don’t have to worry about the results. Your job is to be faithful in sharing His love and truth; His job is to change hearts. When we truly submit to Jesus’ authority, we stop putting limits on what God can do through us. We remove the ‘governor’ on our discipleship and allow Him to use us in ways we never imagined possible. Bible Verse Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit – Matthew 28:19 (ESV) Reflection Question What ‘governor’ or limit have you placed on your willingness to be used by God in making disciples? Quote “So many of you have a governor on your discipleship. You have limits on what you are willing to give over to God. And it is limiting the potential of discipleship in your life.” Prayer Lord, remove any limits I’ve placed on how You can use me. Give me boldness to share Your love and make disciples wherever You place me.
