MFM Daily Devotional 13 July 2023 MESSAGE
When Jesus called His disciples. He didn’t say to them. “Follow me; I will make you Arch- Bishop, nor Superintendent, nor Most Senior Apostle.” He said He would make them fishers of men. Matthew 4:19 says, “And He saith unto them, follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.”
Evangelism is not an afterthought. It is a channel of becoming a disciple. This year, I encourage you to aspire to spiritual growth by ensuring you talk to someone about Christ daily. Act 1:8 says “but ye shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you; and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. Many professing Christians do not know that God has a purpose for their lives. Real Christians are created in Christ Jesus unto good works, not saved so they can stay home or work on Sunday. One of their good works is to preach Jesus (Ephesians 2:10).
Acquiring the power of the Holy Spirit is useless when you are not putting it into proper use. and one of the usefulness of God’s power is to witness to others. Do you want to grow as a Christian? Do you want your spiritual level to change? Do you want to be closer to God and live above sin? Then ensure you talk to someone about Christ every day. Your participation in evangelism can be through sharing of tracts, groaning in prayer for lost souls and supporting mission and evangelism with your resources. Ensure you participate in all evangelism activities that may be introduced by your church this year.
Beloved, don’t miss the opportunity to make heaven happy and the reward attached to it. In Luke 15:7, Jesus said, “I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.” Ast you make evangelism your priority this year, I pray that the Lord will beautify your life with signs and wonders, in the name of Jesus.
