“Your
assignment is to spread the good news of the Gospel of the Kingdom and to heal
the sick. Your assignment is to love the lost, feed the poor and care for the
hurting.”
Matthew 4:23
And Jesus went about all Galilee,
teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing
all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people.
When I was in school, I hated it when the teacher would announce, “Assignment time!” and proceed to write up a project on the board for us to complete within the next week or two. In my day, we had to visit the library, find the reference books on the topic then search the pages until we found the information we needed for the assignment. Then we needed to actually copy the words from the book onto our notepad with a pen. When we returned home, we’d re-write the information neatly onto slips of paper, and then, together with pictures we’d cut from magazines, paste the slips onto a large cardboard sheet. It always felt like a mission impossible to me. If only we had the Internet and MS Word in my day!
Your assignment, if you choose to accept it, is to go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation. And proclaim as you go, saying, “The kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons. You and I have received a kingdom assignment from the King of kings. We are called to all the world, to preach the gospel of the kingdom, as Jesus preached, and heal all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease. The gospel of the Kingdom is preaching what Jesus preached, doing what Jesus did.
This might seem like mission impossible to you. But, when Jesus gave us the commission, he promised to be with us to the end. Jesus has all authority in heaven and on earth and he has sent us in his name. By the fellowship of the Holy Spirit in the here and now, we have the power to preach the Gospel of the Kingdom and heal the sick. Jesus said we’d receive power when the Holy Spirit came upon us to be his witnesses in our neighbourhoods, towns, countries and to the ends of the earth. It is by the power of the Holy Spirit that Jesus is with us to the end. This is why we call it the co-mission. Your mission possible.
So, go for it! With God, all things are possible. Your assignment is to spread the good news of the Gospel of the Kingdom and to heal the sick. Your assignment is to love the lost, feed the poor and care for the hurting. This is your alignment for assignment.
God-tracking is a kingdom assignment.

Don’t Give Up, Look Up & Pray
“Jesus who brought us this good news and healed the sick has instructed me to do the same. Help me, O Lord, to perform my Kingdom assignment.”
“Ah Lord my God, thank you for sending Jesus to redeem us from the curse of sin. You loved the world so much that you gave your only begotten Son so that whoever believes in him will not perish but will have the promise of eternal life. This is the Good News of the Kingdom of God. Jesus, who brought us this good news, has called me to share it with my friends and family. And Jesus who brought us this good news and healed the sick has instructed me to do the same. Help me, O Lord, to perform my Kingdom assignment. Help me, O Lord, to receive alignment for my assignment. Amen.”
