Cornelius was a Roman soldier, but now he was drafted into the Lord’s army. Just as Jesus had trained and equipped Peter and then sent him out as an apostle, so now Cornelius was to be mobilized for this same mission.<\/span>
Just as Peter was “ordered” by Jesus to preach and testify about Him, so have all believers been commissioned. As Jesus said, \u201cPeace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I am sending you” (John 20:21).<\/span>
Believer, you are sent. Submit to Jesus as Lord over all of your life. Be equipped and discipled in a Bible-believing church. Recognize that the Lord wants to mobilize you for mission.<\/span>
PRAYER: Dear Father, we believe that Jesus is the One. He is our King, Savior and Lord. He is the Judge of the living and the dead. We submit our lives to Him afresh this day. Here we are Lord, send us! In Jesus’ name, amen.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
