In the echoing halls of history, the voice of God has always sought out those willing to listen and, more crucially, to relay His messages to the world. In Matthew 28:19-20, we are handed the mantle of responsibility, a divine commission that transcends mere proclamation to include the mentoring of souls in the ways of Christ. This journey of discipleship is not a solo venture but a collective endeavor, enriched by the sharing of personal revelations and divine insights. It’s in this sacred exchange that faith is deepened, communities are strengthened, and the Kingdom is built.

Our springboard for today’s discussion is: Matthew 28:19-20 - "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age."

The Great Commission extends an invitation to each of us to participate in God's unfolding story, not merely as followers but as bearers of His word. Sharing what God has revealed to us—be it a comforting word, a challenging truth, or a deeper understanding of Scripture—becomes a pivotal way we live out this commission. It’s how we “teach them to observe” the ways of Jesus. Such sharing, rooted in love and obedience, becomes the very essence of making disciples, inviting others into a deeper relationship with Christ.

Multiple Points of "Focus Training":

* Prayerful Preparation: Start with prayer, asking God to highlight what He wants you to share and prepare the hearts of those who will receive it.

* Personal Reflection: Regularly reflect on what God is teaching you through His word, prayer, and life circumstances. Being aware of what God is doing in your life is the first step to sharing it with others.

* Openness to Opportunities: Be attentive to opportunities God provides to share your insights and revelations. This could be in conversations, meetings, or even through digital communication.

* Cultivating Humility: Approach sharing with humility, recognizing that it’s God’s message, not our own. This posture invites grace into the conversation and acknowledges God as the ultimate teacher.

* Practicing Clarity: Seek to share God’s revelations clearly and simply, making them accessible to others. Sometimes, the most profound truths are shared in the simplest terms.

* Encouraging Feedback: Invite feedback and discussion from those you share with. This can provide insights into their spiritual journey and how God is working in their lives too.

* Continuous Learning: Be a lifelong learner of God’s word and ways. The more you grow in your understanding, the more you can share with others.

Conclusion: The call to share what God has revealed to us is a sacred trust and an essential component of our Christian walk. It’s through this sharing that we fulfill the Great Commission, drawing others closer to Christ and nurturing the body of believers. As we step out in faith, sharing our revelations and insights, let us do so with the assurance of Christ’s presence with us, “to the end of the age.”

Call to Action: This week, intentionally share a piece of what God has revealed to you with someone in your community. It could be a word of encouragement, a newfound understanding of a scripture, or a testimony of God’s faithfulness.

Question of the Day: What holds you back from sharing what God has revealed to you, and how can you overcome these obstacles?

Let's Pray: Lord, empower us with the courage and wisdom to share Your revelations with others. Help us to be attentive to Your voice and bold in our obedience to share. May our words bring life, encourage faith, and contribute to the making of disciples, as You have commanded us. Thank You for Your presence with us, guiding and supporting us in every step. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

As we venture into our days, let us be mindful of the divine encounters and conversations waiting to unfold. May we be generous with the revelations entrusted to us, serving as conduits of God’s wisdom and love, ever drawing others closer to the heart of our Savior.
