TEXT: Matthew 28:18-20, John 20:21
INTRODUCTION: The Believers’ Mandate—to go into all the world and make disciples of all nations— is central to the mission of every believer and the heart of the Church. For the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), this mandate is not just a command but a way of life. As RCCG looks forward to Vision 2032, the call to evangelize, disciple, and build the Kingdom of God takes on a renewed urgency and strategic focus.
UNDERSTANDING RCCG VISION 2032
The RCCG Vision 2032 is a comprehensive, bold plan set in place by the leadership to expand the Church globally, impact communities, and bring millions to Christ by 2032. This vision encompasses church planting, training, mission work, and social transformation, aiming to reach the unreached and bring at least 40 million of these into the RCCG parishes in Nigeria alone.
CONNECTING THE BELIEVERS’ MANDATE WITH RCCG VISION 2032
The Believers’ Mandate and RCCG Vision 2032 are intrinsically linked, as both are focused on fulfilling the Great Commission. The mandate to evangelize, baptize, and teach aligns perfectly with the vision’s goals to plant new churches, enlarge church attendance, train leaders, and create a global community of believers.
RCCG has set a goal of 40m membership in her Nigerian parishes by 2032. This vision emphasizes the urgency of evangelizing beyond borders and is a direct manifestation of the Believers’ Mandate to go and reach the nations.
PRACTICAL STEPS FOR RCCG MEMBERS IN FULFILLING THE BELIEVERS’ MANDATE AND VISION 2032 WITH URGENCY
1. Start from where you are with personal evangelism.
Speak Boldly and Kindly
Use your words to point people to Jesus (1 Pet. 3:15).
Acts 1:8 reveals to us four phases of fulfilling this urgent mandate.
A. In Jerusalem:
Jerusalem here symbolizes your immediate family members, i.e. your spouse, children, father, mother, brother, sister, neighbours, friends and in the community where you reside.
You don’t have to start from organizing big crusades and this will not cost you anything at all.
B. In Judea:
As the Lord helps you to win the souls of those whom God has made available to you at the Jerusalem stage, He expects you to go further in winning the souls of those at your place of work, state of residence, markets, villages and towns, in your profession or occupation etc. (Acts 10:1-8, 24-47)
C. In Samaria:
God also expects us to go further in taking the gospel of Christ to other locations within our country, other neighbouring countries, towns and cities. (Acts 8:5-8)
D. To the uttermost part of the earth:
This has to do with taking the gospel to other Nations and Continents of the earth through the Social Media platforms. (Mk. 15:16)
2. Go out
Engage in other forms of evangelism by being with the Church in one accord. Mk. 15:16
A. In small groups, and through community outreach.
B. Support the vision of church planting by actively participating in evangelistic and CSR initiatives.
3. Constant and fervent prayers.
a. Prayer is vital for the success of Vision 2032. Pray for more workers in the harvest field, for open doors in nations, and for the power of the Holy Spirit to move mightily in RCCG’s outreach efforts.
b. Pray for opportunities and open doors. Col. 4:3
c. Pray for power and boldness. Act 4:24-33.
d. Pray for the establishment of the converts. Gal. 4:19
4. Point People to Jesus.
a. Live Authentically. 1 Cor. 10:1
b. Share your testimonies. Jn. 9:7-9
c. Let your life shine with Christ’s love. Matt. 5:16
5. Point People to the Church. Lk. 14:23
A. Invite others to church.
B. Meet people’s needs and help others. Mk. 11:28, Psa. 34:18.
C. Be involved in House Fellowship and Home Cells. Acts 2:42.
D. Be a part of the church of planting. 2 Cor. 1:1, Gal. 1:1-2, Eph. 1:1.
CONCLUSION
The mandate is clear, and the agenda is straightforward: to rescue people from darkness by every possible means. As RCCG embraces Vision 2032, the Believers’ Mandate remains the driving force behind all that the Church does. Fulfilling this mandate involves obedience, sacrifice, unity, and a commitment to reaching the lost. Through Vision 2032, RCCG will not only increase its global reach but also make a lasting impact on nations and generations to come.
Let every believer, whether in Nigeria or abroad, be passionate and dedicated to fulfilling the Great Commission. The time is now to align with God’s eternal purpose and live out the Believers’ Mandate with zeal and urgency.
What excuse will you have for not being a part of this? These actions are achievable if you are willing to commit yourself to the grace of God in proclaiming His message. Be willing and then ask God for the grace and power as you take action now.
Acts 1:8 – “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you, and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth

Salvation Prayers
If you don’t Know Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour and would like to accept him into your life as your personal Lord and Saviour, Please say this prayer:
Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from You. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward You. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that Your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send Your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your Will for the rest of my life. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
