Be An Evangelist

Therefore, go and make disciplines of all nations, baptizing them and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age. Matthew 28:19-20 (NIV)

Bible Reading: 2 Timothy 4:2

In today’s Bible reading, Apostle Paul instructed his son in the Lord, Timothy to preach the Word regardless of time, feeling, or situation. Always have God’s word on your lips to share with people you come across. Be attuned to the Holy Spirit to deliver God’s word that will address situations per time. Our attitude to evangelism, exhortation and sharing of God’s word needs to change. We have to show genuine concern for the lost, act on the concern, and trust God to speak His word through us. If we are to follow Paul’s instruction to Timothy, then it means we have to have a burden for the lost and be filled with God’s word. It is important that our faith is rekindled every day because faith comes by hearing, by hearing the word of God (Romans 10:17). Studying and meditating on God’s word is important because it renews and transforms our minds, helps us conform to a godly pattern, and enables us to test and approve God’s will (Romans 12:1-2). As you resume your daily business today, preach the word whether conveniently or not in patience and diligence, and trust the Holy Spirit to speak through you, after all, it is “not by might, nor by power but by the Spirit” says the Lord Almighty (Zechariah 4:6).

Self-Reflection: Preach the word of God. Be prepared, whether the time is favourable or not. Patiently correct, rebuke, and encourage your people with good teaching. (2 Timothy 4:2, NLT)

Action Point: Preach to someone today about Jesus Christ.

Daily Confession: Lord thank You for this privilege. I believe I am given the grace to fulfil Your word in Jesus’ name. Amen

Intercessory prayer: We pray for more unction to function for evangelists of the gospel in Jesus’ name.

Hymn: Must I go, and empty-handed?

Must I meet my Savior so?

Not one soul with which to greet Him:

Must I empty-handed go?
