"Jesus gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out"


Matthew 10:1-7

And he called to him his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every infirmity. The names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; Simon the Cananaean, and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him. These twelve Jesus sent out, charging them, "Go nowhere among the Gentiles, and enter no town of the Samaritans, but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And preach as you go, saying, `The kingdom of heaven is at hand.'

Tag-habilinan ni Jesus an Ija mga disciple na ila ipadajon an Ija mga tag-himo – an pagsangyaw sa katawhan na an kahirain ni God umaabot na.

Sa pagpili ni Jesus nan Ija dose ka apostles, mga ordinaryo, dili kon propesyunal, waya’y mga bahandi sanan waya’y luna sa sosidad na mga tawo an Ija tamag-tawag.

Pero sa ila paghimo nan mga buluhaton, ekstra-ordinaryo, marajaw o ekselente an resulta nan ila mga hinimoan bisan waya’y ila kapasidad na mohimo nan gusto ni Jesus ipahimo dila.

Ugsa na kon tawagon kita ni Lord na manelbihan Dija, kinahanglan dili nato huna-hunaon na dili nato mahimo o dili kaha, waya’y ato kapasidad o hibayo na magtrabaho kay Sija ra man an mogiya dato para sa Ija kahimayaan.

Kuman, motoo ba kita na gusto ni God na magtrabaho Sija dato sanan magtrabaho Sija pinaagi dato para sa Ija kahimayaan?

"Lord Jesus, you have chosen me to be your disciple. Take and use what I can offer, however meager it may seem, for the greater glory of your name."
