"12Therefore this is what I will do to you, Israel, and because I will do this to you, Israel,  prepare to meet your God. Amos 4:12

For every human being like you and me, one day regardless of our disire, we will meet with God and at this meeting we will be held accountable for everything we did or failed to do, then we should be aware that there is a greate commitment to be reminded every day of ours lives, we must prepare ourselves in every moment, we can not waste time, but we dedicate ourselves in everything, trying to grow every day in the grace and knowledge as guides in the sacred scriptures. "10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad." 2 Corinthians 5:10

As an athlete preparing for the Olympics games, it becomes necessary to follow some rules and to be disciplined within a goal of training, likewise we should be about God's orders.

The training process for  the athletes is very intense, it is necessary that they reach their physical goals and are ready to win, many suffer from muscle pain during the preparation process, it is necessary and it iis similar to achieve salvation. "24 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. 25 Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. 26 Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air. 27 No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize. " 1 Corinthians 9:24-27

Missions! Work that requires priority

A Biblia nos ensina que Jesus chamou doze homens para serem seus discípulos. No versículo seis deste mesmo capítulo diz-nos o texto sagrado que Jesus enviou os doze dizendo: Ide antes as ovelhas perdidas da casa de Israel. Este versículo nos mostra que a preocupação inicial de Jesus era para com as ovelhas perdidas da casa de Israel, isto é, os judeus. Podemos até perguntar: Quem foram os primeiros missionários e para onde eles foram enviados? Os doze apóstolos e foram enviados as ovelhas perdidas da casa de Israel.
 

A Missão confiada aos primeiros pregadores foi esta: Pregar a chegada do reino dos céus, acompanhados com sinais e maravilhas. Jesus acrescenta no versículo oito: Curai os enfermos, ressuscitai os mortos, limpai os leprosos, expulsai os demônios. Podemos concluir, através da missão confiada aos doze, que o alvo principal de Missões é a proclamação do Reino de Deus a todos os homens.
Inicialmente só os judeus estavam ao alcance da bênção enviada pelo Pai, mas o plano de Deus era rejeitarem o Filho de Deus (Leia Atos 13.46).
