Saturday, July 24th – Be A Preacher Of The Word Of God

In order for someone to call upon the Lord they must first believe. And in order to believe one must first hear the message. And in order for someone to hear there has to be someone to tell them.

So why doesn’t God just make everyone when they are born call out to God so everyone can be saved? God has given each and everyone of us a precious gift that is the gift of free choice. God delighted in us so much that we were made differently. God made us to not to live by instinct as animals do but by giving us a conscious and equipping us with the capability of deciding for ourselves whether we will make a certain choice or not. God has left no surprises for us. He has given us all the information we need to rationally choose whether we will accept or reject him. It’s your choice. We must keep in mind that there are tremendous implications and consequences in making a decision for or against Christ.

Jesus not only wants us to be able to share what God has done in our own lives but also why Jesus is the only way. Why he is the only one able to save. Why it is logical to trust in Jesus. That only comes by an effort to search the scriptures, to know what is going on in the world today, to know what other people believe.

There are people all around us in desperate need of some good news. They are going through a trying time. They don’t need to hear “suck it up” or “hang in there” or “our church has great music”, they need to hear Jesus loves and cares for you. Did you know that most people come to Christ or are more eager to receive the gospel during turning points or transitions in their lives?

The church or the individual whose heart and life is not involved in the proclamation of the gospel is on the way to ruin. God has so designed His plan of world evangelization that every believer is to be vitally involved. We should pray the Lord of the harvest to send out labourers into His harvest.
