Acts 13:1-12
[1] Now in the church that was at Antioch there were certain prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. 

[2] As they ministered to the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, “Now separate to Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.” 

[3] Then, having fasted and prayed, and laid hands on them, they sent them away. 

[4] So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia, and from there they sailed to Cyprus. 

[5] And when they arrived in Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. They also had John as their assistant. 

[6] Now when they had gone through the island to Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew whose name was Bar-Jesus, 

[7] who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man. This man called for Barnabas and Saul and sought to hear the word of God. 

[8] But Elymas the sorcerer (for so his name is translated) withstood them, seeking to turn the proconsul away from the faith. 

[9] Then Saul, who also is called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked intently at him 

[10] and said, “O full of all deceit and all fraud, you son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease perverting the straight ways of the Lord? 

[11] And now, indeed, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you shall be blind, not seeing the sun for a time.” And immediately a dark mist fell on him, and he went around seeking someone to lead him by the hand. 

[12] Then the proconsul believed, when he saw what had been done, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.

MFM Daily Devotional Message Wednesday, 20th May, 2026.
Missions is the act of sending people out to various parts of the world for the purpose of evangelizing and winning souls to God's Kingdom.

Missions is part of our identity. 1 Peter 2:9 says: "But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light." God made us a people for His own possession to tell others of His greatness and especially, the sacrifice He made to save us.

Missions is part of our faith and also because Jesus commanded it. By our faith in Christ, we have entrusted our lives to Him. Therefore, we should trust Him enough to obey His command to "go into all the world and preach the gospel" (Mark 16:15). Missions indeed is inseparable from our faith. Proclaiming the Gospel is not just important because we are commanded to do it. God uses us to bring the good news of Jesus to those who need a Saviour. (Romans 15:20). The world needs the Good News, and as Christians, we have the Good News-Jesus. The Samaritan woman believed that Jesus was good news, too good to keep to herself (John 4:28-30).

Jesus delivered us from sin, bringing us into a relationship with God and giving us joy and peace. In a world of sin and suffering, others need this Good News also. Moreso, to whom much is given, much is expected. Jesus has saved you from sin and eternal perdition; you need to rise for the rescue of other souls who are on the fast track to hell fire. So, begin to get yourself involved in missions. When we do missions work, God works through us to bring healing and deliverance to the hurting, the hopeless, the sick, and the perishing.

Missions is spreading the praise, worship, and the blessings of God to those who are not yet worshippers. We are doing that because just like God, we want all the peoples of the earth to join in His praise, by so doing, God's glory is increased. Missions work could be in sending, going, or giving. So, get enlisted! This is because we would be held accountable for any soul that perish in hell due to our indifference to Missions.
