God bless you for taking your time to study.
A SOUL IS NOT FULLY EVANGELIZED UNTIL HE MAKES HEAVEN
TEXT: MATTHEW 28:18-20
THURSDAY AUGUST 11th
1 Corinthians 1:8- Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Evangelism is taking the gospel of Jesus Christ to sinners to make them repent of their sins and believe in Jesus for a new life of righteousness and holiness that will qualify them to serve God on earth and inherit eternal life after death or during the rapture. What then is the message of evangelism? It is not that one-time thing you tell somebody or that one thing you say and he becomes a member. It is a continuous thing. For a soul to have been evangelized, he must have left the earth and entered heaven. It is then God will say he has been evangelized. It is then the soul winner that will receive a reward. So, you are still being evangelized. Evangelism is going on you, even on myself. God is still doing works of evangelism for us because we have not entered into heaven yet.
When do you say you trained up your child in the school? Is it when he enters the university and the last year he was driven out because he didn’t make his paper? Will you say you trained your child? No. When will you say you trained your child in secondary school? Is it when he enters secondary school and does not get a certificate because he became a bad boy in school and is sent home? Is it then you have trained a child? No. It is when a child finishes with a certificate. So how do you say you evangelized a man who doesn’t make heaven? How will you say you evangelized a woman who backslides on the way? You did evangelism but the person has backslidden? Your service is a waste as long as that person is not perfected and does not continue in the Lord. That is why Paul cried to the Philippian Christians.
Philippians 2:15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, amid a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world.
Thought for the day: A soul is fully evangelized when he has entered heaven.
Song for the day: When the battle is over, I shall wear a crown.
Bible reading for the day:
Psalms 90-92; Romans 11:1-21
