How, then, can they call on the One they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the One of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: How beautiful are the feet of those who bring Good News! (Romans 10:14-15). We must take God's great message of salvation to others so that they may know Christ & be known by Him; so that they may convert to Christ; so that they can be saved, healed, delivered & blessed as we are; so that they can respond to the Good News. The Bible says: He who wins souls is wise. The Bible says: Go into all the world & preach the Good News to all creation. Soul winning or evangelism is our primary assignment. It is not supposed to be done by pastors & evangelists only. NO, it is an assignment for every believer. We have to reach out to the lost & dying world with the Gospel. What do we preach? We preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ & Him crucified & resurrected, & not ourselves as servants of God, & not our denominational churches. We preach the Word of God. It's all about Jesus Christ. Jesus is our all in all. He is the mediator between God & man. He is the Son of God & the promised Messiah. He is the way, the truth & the life. He is the answer to all our problems. There is no problem that He cannot solve. There is no burden that He cannot lift up. Let our one on one witness or preaching be short & straight to the point. If PREACHING, you can jot down about four key points & take about five minutes to explain each point. Include a practical example so that people may really understand your message. This is the style that Jesus used in His teachings, its effective. In your one on one WITNESSING, include a short testimony of your life before you met Christ, how you met Christ & your life now with Christ. Do not take more than three minutes in your witness. In the developed world people are too busy & may not have time for lengthy messages. Make it precise & concise, straight to the point & short. In 30 minutes you can be done with powerful preaching & move on to altar call ministry & deliverance ministry. In one on one witnessing, you can do it in three to four minutes. Write it down if need be & time it, then memorize it. This way you will not be carried away & take too much time to a person who is already too busy. Maybe the person is waiting for a connecting flight, you need to take that opportunity & witness Jesus Christ to Him. You can present the full Gospel in three minutes. It can be done, personally, i do it. Sow a seed of salvation to the lost & the Holy Spirit will do the rest.
Thank you Jesus. Good morning Holy Spirit. Prayer: Father, thank you for Jesus. Thank you for hearing & answering our prayers. Thank you for giving us the task to do evangelism & discipleship. Help us to have lives which inspire others to get saved & to be true to God. Give us wisdom on how to carry out your assignment. Give us the grace to make the Word of God or Gospel VIRAL. Let our witness be centred on Jesus Christ only, & Him crucified & resurrected. Help us not to digress into the weaknesses of other churches. Help us not to use witnessing to divert people to our own churches even though they are Christians already. Help us not to compete with other churches, making our church the best church & condemning all other churches as lost. This is not evangelism. Why catch fish that is in a swimming pool. They are already caught. Why focus on them? Help us to go into all the world & fish men into the Kingdom of God. Send your angels & let them minister to our salvation, healing & deliverance needs. In Jesus mighty name we pray & believe, Amen. God bless you all.
