Good evening to you all. It's a joy to be with you again. Four years ago I was here, and the Lord is working where we are in Africa. I'm stationed in Ghana, that is my homeland, and I travel to Liberia, Kenya, and recently to Ethiopia. We also work in Liberia. The Lord is blessing in all fronts. I visited all the areas of ministry before coming this time, and all the countries are doing their best. We don't have any problem with ISIS or Boko Haram or whatever it is in these countries. Once in a while you hear of Kenya, and I think this is something national and not religious. So I don't count that so much among the problems that may erupt in our area of ministry. Since coming here 2015, I helped my church to plant two more churches. And Solid Rock is doing their best to get the church planting ministry going as well. It's a tedious work, but it's not, because the Lord is in control. and he is keeping us moving on for his own kingdom. I would like to show some few clips. I think it's five minutes, and so I would like that to be shown, and then we go through the word of God. I urge you to be praying for our missionary in Ivory Coast. He's suffering from kidney problems, he's on dialysis, and therefore we need to lift him up to the throne of grace. So I'll urge you to be praying for him. He's called Reverend Nau Andre. He's from Ivory Coast. Okay, if you have any questions, when we close, Take your Bibles and turn to Matthew chapter verses 18 through 20. Matthew 28, 18 through 20. I read, And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost, teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you. Lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen. Shall we pray? Our Father, we thank you so much for tonight. As we break the bread of life, we pray that you will give us receptive hearts to receive the word. Help us to go and be doers and not just hearers. Grant us that enablement and cause us to enlarge the kingdom that you have prepared for us. We bless you in Jesus' precious name. Amen. The theme is Christians must go and tell the world about Jesus. Christians must go and tell the world about Jesus. Beloved, many 21st century Christians and churches alike have lost their purpose of existence. This is because we have not been living and sharing the word of God as we ought to. Before Christ ascended into heaven, he told the disciples to go and wait in Jerusalem and receive power. After that, the Holy Ghost is come upon them. But Christians today are living contrary to why they are here on earth. Some have interpreted scripture like this to mean that they need to sing and speak in tongues. They need to see signs and wonders. They need to command the Holy Spirit to do what they want for them. super encounter from the Lord. Some sow seeds with money in the church today. However, you and I know that all these things are not what the Lord wants us to do in the church today. Our churches cannot grow if we neglect our calling. Our country would not change if we neglect our calling. Our world would not change if we neglect our calling as Christians. So tonight, I want us to consider why Christians must go and tell the world about Jesus. We must tell the world about Christ because of the authority that has been given to Christ. Christ said all authority is given unto him. There are many Christians today who argue that they cannot speak. They are not eloquent. They feel shy. But Christ is telling us that he has authority over everything, including our problems. So if you tell me you feel shy to go out there and tell the world about Christ, Christ said he has authority over that. So why feel shy? When you receive him, you receive the power of the Holy Spirit at the same time. And therefore, that authority cancels every problem that you have. And so we don't have any excuse that we cannot go there. Remember when God called Moses in the wilderness. Moses said to the Lord, Lord, I cannot speak. The Lord asked him this simple question, who made the mouth? And Moses kept quiet. Today, whatever problem you have, the Lord is asking you, who made you? He has the power over every problem that we have. My beloved, Christ said, go ye. I know in the original language, the command is on preach. But my question to you tonight is, how can you preach if you don't go? How can you preach if you don't go? Let's look at what Paul said to help us in our bid to get to the subject properly. Let's turn to Romans chapter 10. and verse 14. Romans 10, 14. Paul said, how then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in him in whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? The Lord said, go ye into all the world. Tonight, I want you to know that all of us sitting down here, we are all missionaries. The dictionary give the meaning of a missionary to be someone sent to a foreign country. I disagree. A missionary is somebody who heralds the Word of God. So wherever you herald the Word of God, it's a mission field. Your neighborhood is your mission field. Some of you, your homes will be your mission field. Your neighbors, your schools, your working place may be your mission field. Wherever you tell somebody about Jesus, that is your mission field. That is part of the world. But beloved, we need to go before we can parrot the word of God. Today, I realize that many Christians and churches don't go. They don't go out there to tell their lusts about Jesus. Because they have excuses. But all our excuses, Christ says, he has authority over them. So come out from your shells. Why do we need to come out from our shells? Why do we need to go out there? The Lord commands us to go and teach all nations. And like I have said, your area of mission field is your next door neighbor's house. It's your mother, your father, your aunt, your cousin, your grandfather, your grandmother. Because some of them haven't accepted Christ as their personal savior. They are on their way to hell, and we need to help them. Beloved, do you know that it's a privilege to tell the world about Jesus? It's a privilege. Why am I saying so? Because Christ could have taken us straight to heaven when we are saved. But he left us here on the earth so we can tell others about him. So it's a privilege. Because he has the authority to ask the angels in heaven to come down and proclaim the good news. But he chose us to do so. So it's a privilege. And we have to take this opportunity and go out there and tell the lost that Jesus loved them and therefore he died for them. We are on our way to heaven today because we have accepted Christ as our personal savior. But it's your brother, your sister. What about your uncle? What about your next door neighbor? What about the man you are working with at your working place? What about your student friend? Do you want them to go to hell? No. We need to go and tell them about Jesus. We have stayed in the church room too long. Time has come for us to go out there and let the world know the God we serve. You see, we have allowed those who don't have the good news to rather go from door to door, every day knocking on the door. They're Jehovah's Witnesses. The moments, they are always there, telling lies to the world. But we have the word. We have the good news. We have the authoritative word of God. And yet, we don't go from door to door like they do. Time has come for us to break that yoke. I have refused to preach from this passage for years, but the Lord has laid on my heart the need, because this is the time for us to go about telling the world about Christ. If there is any time that the world needs Christ, it is this time. The time when sin prevails everywhere. The time when governments are propagating lies and wanting us to do things against the law. They want man to marry man, woman to marry woman. and they propagate these on government levels. This is the time that we need to let the world know that Jesus is in control. Beloved, this is the time that sin is everywhere on the face of the earth. The devil is working hard to recruit men and women for himself. You remember when Sodom and Gomorrah were doing their own thing, the Lord destroyed them. And if the way things are going today continued to be so, God would destroy the world. Do we want the world to be destroyed in our day and time? No. Soon Christ shall come, and we need to let the world know that we have a Savior. Remember, when the disciples were asked to wait in Jerusalem, they did. And when the Holy Spirit came, they were filled. We do not want to go. So the Lord brought persecution among them, and there they ran to every corner of the world. Do we want to have persecution before we do that? Our persecution will be such that we cannot stand it. So let us start running today so that the world would know that we have the true savior of the world. Remember, many years ago, United Kingdom, God allowed them Today, missionaries are being sent to United Kingdom. Why? Because they have refused to do what the Lord wants them to do. Remember David Livingston and many others who went to Africa to the Kobos. David Livingston loved the Lord. He loved the people of Africa and said, When I die, bury my heart in Africa and bury my body in Westminster Abbey. And that is exactly what happened. Today, how many missionaries will say, bury my heart in where I am? We need to be about our master's business. Number one. Preach, number two. And they said, when we preach, people will believe. Therefore, when they believe, we should do what? We should baptize them. So go, preach, baptize. We will not be able to do these things if we don't go. So the law started from number one. Before, it came to two. You cannot start from three and then come to one. No. And so if we don't go, we cannot preach. And if we don't preach, people will not believe. And if they don't believe, we can't baptize them. So you see, we have a problem on our hands. The Muslims have an adage. They said, if the mountain cannot come to Muhammad, Muhammad will go to the mountain. The world will not come to us. We have to go to them and let them know. And that is why the Lord said, go ye. And that word, ye, means all of us. Some think pastors, or deacons, or elders, they are supposed to go because Christ spoke to the disciples. No, he said, go ye, all of us. Anybody who accepts Christ as personal savior, you have a responsibility to tell others about Jesus. So we all have a responsibility. And our responsibility is to go out there and tell the world. Not everybody will listen to us. I know that. The command is go and tell. He didn't say go and save. We cannot save anybody. I cannot save anybody. Who saves? Jesus saves. He's the Savior of the world. He alone saves. So ours is to go and tell and leave the rest to the Holy Spirit. I remember when I was in New Jersey many years ago. Every Saturday, we go to the beach distributing trash because New Jersey is close to the beach, and people do come there every day. So we go there and distribute trash. We continue to talk to people. Although they don't listen to us, some do listen to us. That's what the Lord wants us to do. Don't be afraid to go out there. If they don't listen, you have done your part. Some will listen, and they will be saved. When they are saved, we should baptize them. Then the Lord commands us to disciple those who are baptized. How can we disciple anybody when we don't go out there, first of all, to preach the word? Second, for them to come. Thirdly, to baptize them. And then we can disciple. Beloved, I have a burden. Because I am afraid that if we of this generation don't go out there and tell the world a day is coming when mission work will be taken from us, and they will bring other countries to come and propagate the good news here. Remember, Americans are going to Great Britain to propagate the word. If God has stripped United Kingdom of missions, he can do the same to United States. It's very easy. He can do the same. Because yesterday they were on top, but today they are receiving missionaries. Churches in United Kingdom are turning to warehouses. Churches in United Kingdom are turning to stores. We don't want that here. We want Christ to remain the head of the country. The founding fathers came here not searching for gold, but they were searching for God. That is why on your currency it is written, in God we trust. Don't allow your founding fathers to turn in their graves, because this country was founded on God. And that is my prayer, and that should be the prayer of everybody here in this room tonight. The hymn writer wrote and said, we have heard the joyful sound, Jesus saves, Jesus saves. Let us go out there and sound that warning to the world that they need Jesus. They truly need Jesus because he is the savior of the world. The Lord promises his continuous presence in good times and in bad times. The Lord said he is with us even unto the end of the age. As we go, he will go with us. As we come, he will come with us. So why are we afraid to go? Let us put our doubts and everything aside and let us move out because there are people there who are on their way to hell. Let us go and snatch them into the kingdom of God. The Lord has promised he will be with us even unto the end of the age. If not, I wouldn't be standing in front of you tonight. I wouldn't be traveling to other countries and tell them about Jesus. But because he's with me, I'm able to go. I've put all fears away because Jesus is my country. The Lord promises His continuous presence in all circumstances. Whatever problem will come, the Lord knows before it comes. Do you know that the Lord knows everything? His omniscience. He knows everything. What hasn't come, He knows. And beloved, What is the end of man? He's dead. And so if I go out there and somebody shoot me and kill me, heaven is prepared for me because I know Jesus. Whereas the other man shooting me also knows Jesus. When Christ hung on the cross with the two men, one said, save yourself and save us too. enter into your kingdom. And Jesus said, today thou will be with me in paradise. He's still saying it. If I die today, I'll be with Jesus in paradise. It doesn't matter the kind of death you go through. If you know Jesus, you'll be with him in paradise. But let me ask you this question. How many of us would like to go to heaven tomorrow? How many of us? I'm glad everybody wants to go to heaven tomorrow. How many of us would like to die tomorrow? You see, if you don't die, you don't go to heaven. So everybody should wish to die so you can go to heaven. This is what Paul said. He says, I love to go and be with the Lord, but because of you, I have decided to stay. So we shouldn't fear to die. You see, because of death, that is why many people are not able to go out there, because they fear the world. But the world has no power over this body. The spirit within the world doesn't have power. The world can have power over the body. Because they can kill this body through foul means. But a spirit within, we immediately see Jesus. And that is what we should fight for. And not for this world. Our eyes have not behold heaven. But the Bible tells us heaven is a better place. You know, our problem is our eyes have seen today, but our eyes have not seen up there. Let us believe what the Bible says, and that will be solution for us. Beloved, my plea to you tonight is Let us go out there and herald Jesus Christ to the world so that our lost brothers and sisters will come and join us to serve the Lord, that at the end, there will be the going, there will be the preaching, there will be the saving, there will be the baptism, there will be the teaching. of those things that Christ wants us to teach the world. Are you willing to follow Christ's words? Are you willing to leave your comfort zone and go out there and let the world know that Jesus is alive? May it be that will give our thoughts, will give our attention, will give our everything so that the lost may also come to Jesus. Millions are dying and going to hell. The Lord has invested their salvation in us. Are we willing to go? May it be that we are willing to go. May the Lord bless us all. Amen. Let us pray.
