In Luke 4:31-44, we see that Jesus went around preaching and ministering to people where they were at. He cast out demons, healed the sick, and brought wholeness to people’s lives. Jesus is the same today, and he delivers, heals, and brings us to a place of wholeness.
But in verses 42-44, “Early the next morning, Jesus went out to an isolated place. The crowds searched everywhere for Him, and when they finally found Him, they begged Him not to leave them. But Jesus replied, “I MUST preach the Good News of the Kingdom of God in other towns, too, because that is why I was SENT. So he continues to travel around, preaching in synagogues through Judea.”
Jesus was the first Kingdom Builder Missionary! We see that He was SENT! We need to be sent as well! Someone said the success of the church is not measured by how many seats it has, but by how many are SENT out of the church! We must never shift from “Reaching the City and Touching the World for Jesus!” We are sent to our neighborhood, city, country, and to the world! Some may not be able to go, but we are all SENT through our PRAYERS, GIVING, AND OUR GOING!
Jesus said something we need to SHIFT in 2026: I MUST preach the Good News of the Kingdom! I must shift to sharing Jesus with my family, friends, and people that God brings into my life! I MUST!!!! Do we have that passion, burden, that mandate that I MUST share with others what Jesus has done and is doing in my life!
In 2026 – Let us shift to BEING SENT to lost people! Let us pray for a MUST SPIRIT to share Jesus with family, friends, and people that come into our lives!
ARE WE READY FOR THE SHIFT?
