“THE 4 PHASES”

READ: Acts 1:6-9

“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.” – Acts 1:8

Every ministry has four phases. The disciples started out in Jerusalem. Then they went to Judea, then to Samaria and then to the uttermost parts of the world.

If you fulfil your calling, you are likely to have four phases to your ministry. You will have a Jerusalem phase, a Judea phase, a Samaria phase and the uttermost parts of the earth phase.

Jerusalem is your home base. Jerusalem is the beginning of your ministry. It is where salvation and ministry begins for you; your home city, your home country and your home community.

Judea is the very next major geographical area near you. If you started out in London, Judea is probably the rest of England, outside London. Judea is waiting for you to come there. You cannot praise yourself just because you have been successful in Jerusalem.

Samaria is even further than Judea. It is made up of people who are different from you. If you started out in London, Samaria is probably the rest of Europe. Samaria is equally waiting for you. People who are different from you will receive from you if you go to them. People who speak differently from you will receive from you if you care to talk to them. People who are a different colour from you will be saved if you open your mouth and talk about Jesus.

The uttermost parts of the earth are the furthermost parts of the earth from your starting point. Today, most Christians start out in Jerusalem and end in Jerusalem. No one in Judea knows that you are saved. Samaria never benefits from the life that you have received. As for the uttermost parts of the earth, they are condemned to damnation as far as you are concerned. May God have mercy on us for not going through the four phases of the Great Commission!
