God's blessings shall follow you continually for taking the time to study
The Fruits Of Converts To Christ
Thursday March 7th
Text: Daniel 1:8-12
Key verse: John 15: 16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
Men do not light a lamp and put it under a bushel but on a candlestick that it should give light to everyone that is in that environment. God saved you to save others. When the maniac of Gadara was delivered from madness, he came to himself and believed in Christ. He wanted to follow Christ wherever He went but Jesus said, “Go home to your friends, to your people and declare to them what the Lord has done for you and how he has shown you compassion.” The man went to ten cities around where he was, from city to city because he had operated in those cities and they knew him. “This is me. I am saved now.” God expects us to testify of His works to others.
Tell your family how your life changed, what Jesus has done for you. Tell sinners about what Jesus has done for you. God has warned us that when He tells the righteous to warn the sinners and he refuses to warn them and death takes away the sinner, He will demand the soul of that man from him. If you are righteous, you cannot afford to let others perish around you; you will want to go after them to bring them to righteousness. Go and make converts to Christ.
The conviction not to defile himself was first of Daniel but because he would bear fruits, he converted the other children so that they all purposed not to defile themselves. Daniel passed this conviction to Meshach, Shadrach, and Abednego and they all got convicted not to defile themselves. If you are a righteous leader or pastor, what are you doing concerning your brothers, friends, and neighbors that have not known holiness? Have you told them? “Ah! Leave everybody to himself.” Then you are not doing the work of God because you should make converts.
Thought for the day: Go and win converts so that they should be after your kind in holiness, righteousness and truth.
Song for the day: Must I go an empty handed?
Bible reading for the day: Joshua 8-10
