“Missions” refers to the means by which the Church of Jesus Christ proclaims the saving power of the gospel to all the nations of the world.
It comprises of the specific actions that bears witness to the good news of the salvation that Jesus Christ paid for when He shed His Blood on the cross of Calvary, died and rose again.
The Lord Jesus Christ Himself commissioned all born again children of God to take the message of His God to take the message of His gospel to all nations of the world, by the help of the Holy Spirit who directs, empowers and supports Christian missions.
Jesus Christ came to announce the coming of God’s Kingdom and to redeem a fallen humanity through His death on the cross. He came to reveal the power and personality of God.
Jesus came to provide free access to God. Through Him, all human beings, irrespective of color, race, language or culture have equal access by one Spirit unto the Father. Though He came first to the Jews, the scope of His mission covered the whole human race, and this continues through the Spirit-empowered witness of His Church. Jesus Christ reveals God in His own person, saying John 14:9 says anyone who has seen Jesus has seen the Father. Jesus further declares that He and the Father are one.
The power of mission is revealed in the fact that Jesus Christ came to redeem and save humanity from sin, as prophesied about Him
The ultimate power of Christ’s mission on earth is that he might destroy the works of the devil.
He came to destroy the works of the devil through the salvation of souls, deliverance, breaking of yokes, all-round healing, and by miracles, signs and wonders.
