Acts 1:9 NKJV
“Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight.”
Acts 1:9 NKJV
The last day of Jesus physical appearance on earth before He was taken up, Jesus reminded them all with His last words about the kingdom of God and power.
They asked Jesus a question that will He this time restore the kingdom of Israel?
Jesus answered and said about the Holy Spirit that will empower every believer not only to restore Israel but the whole earth.
Jesus last word to them displayed His plans, that the whole world may be restored back into the system, power and dominion of God.
God’s plans for each one of us is not just our little group, our churches but the entire world.
When we nurture each other, when we nurture our families, when we nurture our little groups, churches and organisations we must have the entire world included in our nurturing.
We are all part of a bigger plan than what we know. We are part of a bigger plan then just accomplishing our dreams, our families, our neighbours, our cities and our own nation. We are made to be part of God’s kingdom for reaching the entire world.
Jesus's last word before going up is to reach out from every person we know until we reach the entire world with His kingdom.
How do we do that? Just be a willing instrument for God, detach our hearts and minds. Detach from desires and sentiments of the natural world and its pleasures.
Turning ourselves into renewing our hearts and minds according to the kingdom of God by the power of His Spirit.
Blessings
