The Great Commission needs more labourers and you can be enlisted if you are qualified. Paul told Timothy in 2 Timothy 2:2 to get able men and commit the gospel work into their hands.

He needs special, willing, able, equipped and ready assistants who will produce acceptable fruits in its due season.
Quote: Equipped and ready assistants
Challenge: Will God find you a willing assistant?
Prayer for today: Lord, make me a dependable hand in Your Vineyard.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
