INTRODUCTION
Daily as we live in the provisions and promises of God, the expectation of Heaven is that we go and make disciples of all nations. Men that become relevant in the hand of God devote their lives pursuing and obeying the command “GO”. Every breath in us, every resource we possess and whatever we have become is freely given us to serve this purpose rather than becoming a distraction for us.
Just like in the early church, we are faced with situations that tend to put our focus away from the great commission. Some of these hindrances may look harmless initially, but they are devil’s strategies. Through this study, God will help us identify some of these hindrances and how we can handle them.
DISCUSSION
- Discuss the urgency of the command, “Go ye” as in Matt 28:19-20. Jn 9:4; 2Cor 5:10-11; Rev 22:12
- From the following passages, identify the hindrances to going and discuss how the Apostles were able to handle them? Acts 21:10-13; 5:40-42; Lk8:22-25

- Examine the effects of evolving attractions of this world as a hindrance to going. 2Tim4:10, 1Jn 2:15-17, Judges 5:15-16(ERV)
- Identify other hindrances to going. Ecc 11: 4-6; Jn 4:35; 2Tim 1:7-8.
