THE GREAT ASSIGNMENT

Wednesday, 7th May
COME UP WITH A FAMILY PROJECT
(Mark 6:7 KJV)
“And he called unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits”.
It is important that we pay attention to the words of our text above. The text says “He sent them forth by two and two”. God has always been a God of team work from the start. In the beginning He said “let us make man in our image”, as God and powerful as He is He said “let us”. In Ecclesiastes 4:9 Jesus said “two are better than one”, in Genesis chapter 7, God brought the animals into the ark of Noah two by two, male and female. God is a team-God.
As such, when God instituted marriage, He had team work in mind as well. Marriage was intended by God to create a team work for the purpose of accomplishing certain assignments. Any marriage that will be sweet, pleasant and blissful, must have a kingdom project that will task them. Every marriage must have a soul winning project that they have committed themselves to at personal level, it is called KINGDOM PROJECT. Get your family to adopt something in the kingdom for God, it’s a powerful way to get into covenant with God.
There are a few couples in the Bible who used their marriage to bless and advance the kingdom of God, one of them was Aquila and Priscilla. They served God by following Paul and taking a part of his ministry. They served God to the point where they hosted a church in their house; something we call Light House Fellowship (now called INTEREST GROUP). It got to the point that Paul would not fail to greet them with the church in their house. Here Paul’s comments about them on two occasions:
“Greet Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus: Who have for my life laid down their own necks: unto whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles. Likewise greet the church that is in their house. Salute my well-beloved Epaenetus, who is the first fruits of Achaia unto Christ.” (Romans 16:3-5).
“The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house”. (1 Corinthians 16:19). Receive grace for a family kingdom project in Jesus Name.
