JOHN 17
Greetings to you all in the name of the Almighty. Am sorry am a little late today because I was out volunteering with Red Cross. A fire destroyed a house for a 16 year old mother of 1.I couldn’t believe it. John 17 is a very clear and simple chapter but with a heavy task for us.
We see Jesus giving an accountability of what he had been able to achieve here. It is all about telling God that “The Mission you sent me to accomplish has been done”.
He goes further in John 17:18 “As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world”
To me this is the gist of the entire Chapter 17,He simply means that His part is finished and so the mantle of spreading The Word is passed on to us.
This “accountability” prayer reminds us that we also have to give an accountability of what we have been able to achieve for the glory of God’s Kingdom.
How many times have we shared with our workmates about Jesus? How many times have we sacrificed sufficiently for the good of God’s Kingdom? How many times have we said to Him “God, here I am send me”?
Well, He knows better, but it’s high time we woke up and prepared our ACCOUNTABILITY.

Hi Seggy. I hope your time in America is going well. I appreciate your focus on the statement: as Jesus was sent, so we are sent. As we look at Jesus life we realise that God wants to send us in the same way into the world: to proclaim the kingdom of God, free the captives, bring sight to the blind etc. And he has given us a helper, the same Holy Spirit that empowered Jesus to do his works of service while he was here.
For this cause.
v37 "For this cause I have been born... that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears my voice"
We have also been born of this cause, specifically chosen and placed, specifically gifted, specifically connected. That his light and truth show in us and that we bear good witness to the truth, and that the truth falls on the ears of those the Father calls into his Kingdom.
Today is an important day in the Kingdom of God. It is a day closer to Jesus return. It is a day where we have some appointments pencilled into the Kingdom diary. It is a day for the cause.....
