REVIVING PERSONAL EVANGELISM 
TEXT: JOHN 4:5-29

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 to lead 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 to 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 centres, playground 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: Isaiah 27-28; Ephesians 5

Every Word Of God For Daily Living For taking your time to study remain blessed July Tuesday 9th TOPIC: WE ARE IN THE TWILIGHT HOUR OF RAPTURE TEXT: Ephesians 5:26-27 KEY VERSE: Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Seeing the traces of the features of the next dispensation in this present dispensation, you should know that you are in the twilight hour. What is a twilight hour? A twilight hour is that hour of the day that you begin to see the traces of the night while it is still daylight (probably 7:00pm to 7:30pm). It is not completely dark, yet it is not complete bright either. While it is still day, you are seeing the traces of the night. A twilight hour is the hour when you are still in this dispensation but you are already seeing traces of the next. The twilight hour is the time that our Lord Jesus Christ was born and even though He came with the New Test...
