(16) He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

(17) And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

(18) They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

(19) So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.

(20) And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.

"HOREMOW is like a large body of water coming with great force washing away all debris, shedding dead weight, and riding off all impurities from among the churches today. The great force carries along the genuine children of God from all over the world and from all denominations and nationalities onto the narrow way to be rapture ready and to meet our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ This is the last move of God on earth, and, Holiness Revival Movement is the Last Ark of our generation Some say, "Is this the only place people can worship?" Indeed, such a drastic measure would perplex the world. But, Jesus said, "My children know my voice "

The Great Commission is all inclusive. The scope is the world, covering all peoples and tribes and nations. These have their norms and traditions, life styles and inclinations. We should preach with the aim of converting those we preach to. This is achieved by lifting up Jesus before men, telling them the truth, bringing them to repentance and faith in Christ.

God expects us to mature those who have accepted the gospel of Christ and make them conform to the image of Christ. Our aim is to do the following:

Dissolve the convert's man-made traditions, human philosophies and make him conform to biblical doctrine and standard.

Change his personal, family and tribal inclinations to the inclination and orientation of the new man in Christ.

Change his outward comportment and make him comply to biblical standard of Christian dressing.

Remove his heart from the pleasures of this world and make him heaven focused.

Establish him in the word to enable him live a life of holiness.

Make him know how to personally love the Lord, commune with the Lord and be in increasing fellowship with Him.

Train him on soul-winning to enable him to convert and disciple others as service to the Lord in hope of eternal rewards.

The Great Commission is an urgent assignment. Let all hands be on deck.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: I will make you fishers of men. BIBLE READING FOR THE DAY: Ezekiel 36-37; 1 Peter 3
