A GREAT ASSIGNMENT.
Source
Isa 49:5 God formed me before I was born so that I might be his faithful servant, and that we might always be united. For God, I am worth a lot; that is why he strengthens me.
Isa 49:6 God said to his faithful servant, "I have sent you to gather the tribes of Israel together and bring them back to their homeland. Even this is too little for you. Therefore will I make you a light to the nations, and bring salvation to the last corner of the world.
In the verses before us we see that the servant is being given a global assignment. verse 6 is often called the great commissionfrom the Old Testament and is quoted by the Apostle Paul and Barnabas when they declared their intentions to preach the gospel to the Gentiles (Acts 13:47) For God commanded us so: "I have appointed you, Israel, that you may be the light of the nations, that you may proclaim my salvation to the ends of the earth."".
There is no room for small things when it comes to God, the servant is commissioned to set his sights not on one nation but on the whole world; God says "that is not a big enough job for my children only in his country is not enough...". I am putting you as a light to the world so that my salvation becomes global is everywhere on earth.

Imagine a businessman or businesswoman working for a large company, then one day his boss calls him at the office and tells him that he has been put in charge of the company's sales worldwide.The ministry of a child of God has too much potential to limit it to his or her country alone, for to each one besides this assignment each one has gifts and talents which are for the performance of this Kingdom assignment.
God has enabled us not only for one nation but for all nations ,what has been entrusted to us is immense and at the same time precious our Father has given us a task and has enabled us to do it, for within us we have everything we need (Acts 1:8) But I want you to know that the Holy Spirit will come upon you, and that you will receive power to speak of me in Jerusalem, in all the territory of Judea and Samaria, and also in the far reaches of the world.

Matthew 28:16-20:
But the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain that Jesus had pointed out to them. When they saw him, they worshipped him, but some doubted. And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.
In this part of the scripture we can see that among the disciples some doubted and others worshipped him, so many times we find brothers on the road but our task is not to judge but to help them grow in their faith because the mandate was clear and precise it is necessary that we focus on the expansion of the Kingdom. Jesus points out to him the task of those who are true disciples reminds them of the authority that was given to him and that they tell those people who will preach to him that they must keep all that he taught them.
The expansion of the Kingdom requires all our help such as prayers, finances, being always in contact with the missionary because the church is called to cover the expenses of all these people because they are the body of Christ and it provides them to help whoever needs it, so that these missionaries in turn can provide monetary help to the village or place where the mission is being developed.

I do not know where you live dear brother but this message is for you we have an assignment and we must for love of Jesus to fulfill it, do not fail to talk about who loves us and has chosen us for such a beautiful task.
Supposing there was a group of people traveling about your area, led by a charismatic speaker who claims that the world is ending soon. He promises he alone can save you, but only if you sell your belongings, devote the rest of your life to him, and cut off family members who try to stop you.
He also wants to change your name, advises you to leave your home/job if necessary to follow him, and says that if you don’t love him more than your own family, you’re not worthy of him. What sort of group is that?
