MFM Daily Devotional 12 July 2023 MESSAGE
Soul winning should be a priority to you as a believer. The church of Jesus Christ is not a pleasure boat but a lifeboat. Entertainers are neither needed nor wanted. When evangelism dies as a priority in the church, the church begins to die. A church that does not save the lost is lost itself, and when we say church, it refers to you. When you make evangelism your priority, you create ways for non-Christians to find their path to the Saviour, Jesus Christ and therefore save a life for eternity. You are saved to save others; you are to announce the forgiveness of sins in Jesus to others as you have received.
As a believer, Jesus Christ gave you an evangelistic and disciples-making instruction in Matthew 28:19- 20 to go into the world to teach others. It is a necessity and not optional. The message of John 3:16 is urgent and worth telling; it is indeed the greatest.

The first sign to know that you are growing from being a Christian to the level of discipleship is the ability to witness to others. Christians who evangelise often always grow stronger as better disciples because when you evangelise constantly, it makes it difficult for you to commit the sins you are preaching against. Evangelism is as simple as giving the testimony of your own salvation. The woman in today’s fire scripture became an evangelist immediately she encountered Jesus Christ. You can operate as an evangelist in three categories. You can be a groaner (that is groan and pray for the lost souls), a sower (support evangelism and missionary activities with your resources) and you can be a goer (always on the field).
Every true believer who wishes to grow and walk closer to the Lord must make evangelism his or her priority. As you wake up daily, make it a priority to point a person to Christ and watch as your focus shifts for the better. Jesus has an urgent message and you must be the conveyor of that narrowly defined hope. I decree upon your life that the spirit to preach the gospel with boldness will overshadow you, in the name
of Jesus.
