THE CONDITION FOR CONCLUSION
It Will Not Finish Until We Finish It!
(Why Heaven Waits... The Delay Of The Ages... The Unfinished Mandate... World Evangelization: The Missing Key To The End-Time Agenda)
LEAD SCRIPTURES
Mark 13:10 (KJV)
"And the gospel must first be published among all nations."
Matthew 24:14 (KJV)
"And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come."
INTRODUCTION
Call it Why Heaven Waits.
Call it The Delay Of The Ages.
Call it The Unfinished Mandate.
Call it World Evangelization: The Missing Key To The End-Time Agenda.
Whatever title we choose, one reality remains unchanged:
THERE IS A CONDITION FOR CONCLUSION!
The end of the age is not merely a matter of prophetic timing; it is also connected to prophetic obedience. Before the curtain falls upon human history, before the King returns for His Church, before Heaven closes this chapter of redemptive history, something must happen first:
"And the gospel must first be published among all nations" (Mark 13:10).
Jesus never instructed His Church to merely hold meetings, build cathedrals, organize conferences, or perfect religious systems. His final marching orders remain unchanged:
"Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature" (Mark 16:15).
Thus, the question is not merely:
"When will Jesus come?"
The greater question may actually be:
"Why Heaven Waits?"
Why has the Bridegroom delayed His appearing?
Why has The Delay Of The Ages continued?
Why does The Unfinished Mandate remain unfinished?
The answer lies largely with the Church.
The responsibility for world evangelization was not delegated to angels (Hebrews 1:14), nor to heavenly creatures (Revelation 4:6-8), but to redeemed men and women empowered by the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:8).
The Church was not born merely to gather crowds.
The Church was born to gather nations.
The Church was not empowered merely for church growth.
The Church was empowered for kingdom expansion.
The Church was not commissioned merely to occupy territory.
The Church was commissioned to disciple the nations.
Therefore, there is a Condition for Conclusion.
And until that condition is fulfilled,
IT WILL NOT FINISH UNTIL WE FINISH IT!
WHY JESUS CHRIST TARRIES TO COME
1. The Church Has Lost Sight Of Christ's Original Vision
Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15; Luke 24:47
The Great Commission has gradually been replaced with institutional maintenance, denominational competition, and internal activities.
2. Scarcity Of Labourers
Matthew 9:37-38; Luke 10:2; Isaiah 6:8
The harvest remains plentiful, but labourers remain few.
3. Insufficient Commitment To Missions Funding
Romans 10:14-15; Philippians 4:15-17; 3 John 5-8
Many admire missions. Few sacrifice for missions.
4. Cultural And Language Barriers
Acts 2:5-11; Revelation 7:9; Matthew 24:14
Thousands of people groups remain unreached.
5. Spiritual Complacency
Amos 6:1; Revelation 3:15-17; Hebrews 2:3
Comfort has replaced urgency.
6. Fear Of Persecution
Acts 4:18-20; 2 Timothy 3:12; Matthew 10:28
Fear has silenced many witnesses.
7. Excessive Focus On Church Activities
Acts 1:8; John 4:35; Luke 14:23
Programs often receive more attention than souls.
8. Love For The World
Mark 4:19; 1 John 2:15-17; 2 Timothy 4:10
Worldly pursuits frequently choke missionary passion.
9. Lack Of Compassion For The Lost
Matthew 9:36; Romans 9:1-3; Jude 22-23
Burdenless Christianity rarely produces evangelistic Christianity.
10. Denominational Divisions
John 17:21; Psalm 133:1-3; Ephesians 4:3-6
Division weakens kingdom advancement.
11. Failure To Raise Successors
2 Timothy 2:2; Psalm 78:4-7; Judges 2:10
Many ministries survive one generation but fail to multiply.
12. Unfinished Territories Remain
Romans 15:20-21; Isaiah 49:6; Revelation 5:9
Entire nations and tribes still await a Gospel witness.
WISDOM NOTES
A Church that forgets evangelism has forgotten the heartbeat of Christ.
Heaven measures success differently from men. Heaven counts souls while men count structures.
The greatest investment on earth is not real estate but redeemed humanity.
Every unreached people group is a standing reminder that the assignment remains unfinished.
Many believers are preparing for Heaven while neglecting Heaven's greatest priority.
The Church exists because the mission exists.
One soul rescued from darkness is worth more than earthly treasures.
FINAL THOUGHTS
The Second Coming of Jesus Christ is not merely a prophetic event.
It is a missionary event.
The cry of Heaven is not merely:
"Prepare to leave the earth."
The cry of Heaven is:
"Finish the assignment before you leave the earth."
One day, conferences will end.
One day, denominations will fade.
One day, church buildings will remain behind.
One day, titles and positions will lose relevance.
But every soul won for Christ shall shine forever.
Daniel 12:3
"And they that turn many to righteousness shall shine as the stars for ever and ever."
The greatest question at the Judgment Seat may not be:
"How much did you know?"
But:
"What did you do with the Gospel I entrusted to you?"
The harvest is ripe.
The nations are waiting.
The King is coming.
But until the Gospel reaches its appointed destinations,
IT WILL NOT FINISH UNTIL WE FINISH IT!
PRAYER LINES
Father, ignite within me an unquenchable passion for souls!
Lord, restore Your missionary burden to Your Church!
Every spirit of complacency and indifference, be broken in Jesus' Name!
Raise labourers into every harvest field across the earth!
Let every barrier against world evangelization collapse!
Father, grant me grace to fulfill my divine assignment before my departure!
Let revival fires burn across nations, tribes, tongues, and peoples!
Make me an effective witness of Jesus Christ!
Let the Gospel spread swiftly throughout the earth!
May I never stand before Christ empty-handed!
Let the nations hear and receive the message of salvation!
Lord Jesus, hasten the completion of Your Great Commission!
In Jesus' Mighty Name,
Amen!
