15And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
16He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
17And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
18They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
19So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.
20And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.
Key Verse: “And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen” (Mark 16:20).
Message
In 1849, there began a massive rush of fortune-seekers into California, USA after gold was found there. Within three years, more than 300,000 prospective gold miners had travelled over land and sea in what became known as the California Gold Rush. They risked death and disease; living conditions were very primitive but they would not be deterred. They were pulled along by the irresistible call of fortune and fame.

Our memory verse today records the response of Christ’s disciples to His command. He had said, “Go ye…and preach”, and they went everywhere in obedience. They were beaten, imprisoned, and even martyred still they went, propelled by the Master’s command. A single soul is worth far more than all the gold in the world, therefore our motivation for soul winning is stronger by far than all earthly pursuits or gain. The task of seeking the lost and winning them for Christ is assigned to every believer, do not misconstrue it but rise and do it. Reach out to the youth in your physical environment or via the social media.
Quote: They went, propelled by the Master’s command
Challenge: Prayerfully set a monthly soul-winning goal.
Prayer for today: I will be a soul-winner, so help me God. Amen.
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)
