Woke up this morning at 4:30am and heard a voice saying, “the commission of God is to spread love as God Himself love’s us and the peace which passes all understanding that can only come from God will be with us always.” Love is the key!
I searched what does to commission someone meant? And found out it is an act of entrusting or giving authority, a group of persons directed to perform some duty, a task or matter given, authority to act for, in the behalf of, or in place of another, an authorization or command to act in a prescribed manner or to perform prescribed acts: charge. According to Merriam-webster dictionary.
God had commissioned man from the very beginning when he created us. Starting with Adam naming all the animals. God so love the world that he give his only son. I believe from the time Jesus told his disciples, he will make them fishers of men and come follow him, was His commission for all chosen people in the world. God will never leaves us nor forsakes us. We are given the Holy ghost, the spirit of truth to guide and comfort us. Whatsoever God has commission us to do is for our own well being. Through Him we can do and make the impossible possible. “All of God’s commission is great.”
Then I’d searched to find out if such a thing exist in the bible. Jesus has commission his disciples as some believed it to be, “the great commission”, (but such a term is not recognized in the scripture). As Jesus was ascending into heaven he told his disciples to go into the world and make disciples of all nations by baptizing them, Matthew 28. The spreading of the Christian message to all the world. “The great commission” was devise by Baron Justinian von Welz, a 17th-century Lutheran nobleman, who argued that Matthew 28 meant that all Christians were required to spread the faith, not just Jesus disciples. Very suprise to learn this.
The great commission by God, according to Englishman Hudson Taylor centuries ago is not an option to be considered, but it is a command to be obeyed. I truly believe that whatever God commission us to do is not an option. I never new such thing existed as a commission of God, or the great commission until I’d researched it. I would not have had to research it to be knowledgeable of its implications to God and his chosen if the word commission of God to love had not been whisper to me.
The difference between a commission and a command, commission: to go do something and accomplish it, command: ordered to obey. Commission to love and not hate. To not hate should be both a commission and a command.
