No Maranatha Without Mission: Rekindling the Bride’s Cry and Finishing the Task

No Maranatha Without Mission: Rekindling the Bride's Cry and Finishing the Task is a prophetic call to the Church to recover her first love and her true mission. The early believers lived with a passionate expectation for the return of their Lord. Their prayer, "Maranatha—Come, Lord Jesus," was not a ritual but the heartbeat of a bride longing for her Groom. Yet they also knew that Christ's return is tied to the fulfillment of His Great Commission: making disciples of all nations. In this book, Onesmas Murithi challenges the modern Church to return to this dual posture—deep intimacy with Christ and bold obedience to His mission. He warns that a church that prays "Come, Lord Jesus" without actively reaching the lost is like a bride who has lost her love. Love for the Groom must always overflow into love for the people He died for. Through biblical teaching, real-life testimonies, and practical guides, Murithi outlines how believers can rekindle the Maranatha cry within the simplicity of house churches, while remaining outward-focused on discipling the nations. Each chapter includes reflection questions for small groups, making the book ideal for discipleship circles, house church gatherings, and mission-focused fellowships. This book will help you: Rediscover the passionate cry of the Bride of Christ. Understand why mission and Maranatha cannot be separated. Learn practical steps to start and sustain vibrant house churches. Integrate outreach and discipleship into everyday life. Cultivate a lifestyle of expectancy and obedience as we await Christ's return. No Maranatha Without Mission is both a stirring wake-up call and a practical handbook for believers who want to be found faithful—burning with love for Jesus and busy with His work until He comes.
