REVIVING PERSONAL EVANGELISM

God bless you for taking the time to study.

TOPIC:  REVIVING PERSONAL EVANGELISM        

TEXT: JOHN 4:5-29 

FRIDAY JUNE 9TH

KEY VERSE: “Wist ye not that I must be about My Father’s business?” Luke 2:49
Personal evangelism is the person-to-person sharing of the gospel of Christ with sinners with the aim of leading them to salvation. The primary purpose of Christ's coming into the world was to die for the salvation of man. He came to seek and save the lost. He could not allow anything to becloud His vision of saving the lost. Christ preached to great multitudes from many regions. He used the personal evangelism strategy to reach individuals and families. He used different approaches to reach different people and all were very effective. 
With Nicodemus, Christ used a direct approach: “Ye must be born again. With the Samaritan woman, He used an indirect approach: “Give me to drink.” With the woman caught in adultery by the scribes and Pharisees; He used a situational approach and concluded, “Go and sin no more.” He applied the same approach to the informants who told Him of the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. Similarly, Jesus reached out to His twelve disciples who He called apostles through personal evangelism.
For a local church to grow, the members must go and preach the word right where the sinners are. Many sinners do not go to church; therefore, the church must go out to meet them where they are; in their houses, offices, towns or village squares, civic centers, playgrounds, hospitals, prisons, schools, market places. Winning the lost is a task that must be done to avoid great consequences.
Sinners cannot get saved without the preaching of the gospel. The implication of neglecting personal evangelism includes (1) The loss and waste of ripened harvest. (2) Requirement of sinners' blood from negligent soul winners. (3) Christ is ashamed of Christians that neglect to witness. (4) Loss of soul winners' reward. (5) Spiritual decline and stunted growth of the local churches. (6) Delay or denial in answer to prayer.

Thought for the day: Awake from sleep and recover your lost art of evangelism

Song for the day: Who will tell them that Jesus died for the sinful world?

Bible reading for the day: 2 Chronicles 29-31; John 18:1-23

For taking your time to study remain blessed. August Tuesday 27th TOPIC: CORRECT WATER BAPTISM TEXT: Mark 16:15-16 KEY VERSE: Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. The believer requires water baptism. The baptism that Jesus commanded is in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is done by immersion in water because the three Persons are One. In Acts of the Apostles, the people were baptizing in the name of Jesus. They used the phrase “in the name of Jesus” to indicate that the baptism was carried out as authorized by Jesus, and the baptism authorized by Jesus is that which is done in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is not to say that they dip people in water and say, “I baptize you in the name of Jesus.” The name of Jesus cannot represent the Godhead. The Father is not Jesus, the Holy Spirit is not Jesus, Jesus is God who be
