Go Make Disciples of All Nations – by Mfundo Nondala

Living like Jesus is not easy. It requires denying ourselves and reflecting His kindness, humility, grace, and hatred of sin. Jesus reached all kinds of people, always seeking reconciliation, unity, justice, and the lost—both outside and within the church. His call remains: “Follow me” and “Go and make disciples” (Matthew 28:18–20). We must prepare our hearts and lives as a place where others can encounter Him.

Following Jesus is not dependent on circumstances. When he said, “I will make you fishers of men,” He didn’t promise ideal conditions. In Acts 8:1–3, believers preached even through persecution because they understood their mission and had seen lives transformed. We cannot stop now, despite challenges or the “Herods” in our lives. God desires all people to be saved (2 Timothy 2:1–4), and we are called to keep going.

In difficult moments, instead of assigning blame, we should look for God’s work to be revealed in us (John 9:1–12). If we see problems, our response should be to fast, pray, and humble ourselves, trusting God to correct and restore. This is his work, not ours. We plant and water, but he brings the growth—so we must surrender everything to him.

God’s mission is for us to go into our communities and bring him glory. We cannot become comfortable or silent. Share what God has done in your life, speak to those he places before you, and don’t judge or give up on people. Be a fisher of men, embracing your season and trusting that God is always at work.
