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

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All   Monday 24th March Text: 1 Timothy 5: 19-22 Key verse: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20 God wants you to avoid doing evil while saying you want to go to heaven. You may be a member of a worldly church and be saying, “It is my tribal church; if I leave them, they will be angry. I do not want them to be angry.” Is it God you want to make angry by your compromise? You will see the anger of God indeed. It is through the word that you perfect the people, and as a result, the Bible says, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon your brother. Thou shall reprove him.” Your brother or sister has done a bad thing, and you do not bother. You leave them in their sins. They may do the same to other people. The Lord says, “Correct them.” Do not allow sin to be in them because sin will take them to hell. The Bible says, “Them that sin, rebuke befo...

The Source Of Faith  Tuesday 18th March Text: Romans 1:16-17 Key Verse: So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17 What is the foundation for our faith? The faith of the just man has the following sources, from where it gets its inspiration. The Word Of God: The foundation of the faith of the just, is the word of God.  The word of God is the production room of the faith which the just exercises. The faith of the just has its foundation in what God has said in His word.  Faith seeks for what God has said to stand upon.  Have you seen the promises of God for you, from the word? Have you seen God's message for you, in the scriptures?  Believe it absolutely, and it shall surely come to pass.
