Get Wisdom for Evangelism
Sunday 5th January
Text: Proverb 8:6-8
Key verse: The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise. Proverbs 11:30.
Wisdom is highly required to preach this gospel and win souls to the Lord Jesus Christ. In Ecclesiastes 10:10 “If the iron be blunt, and he do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength: but wisdom is profitable to direct.” If you are using a knife that is blunt to peel cassava, it will not be easy. You will put in a lot of effort, and a lot of energy to peel the cassava. You will suffer frustration because the knife is blunt. You have a blunt cutlass, and you want to cut the grass, or to cut down a tree, what a great and fruitless energy you are going to apply!
The reason the churches of God are getting discouraged in evangelism in this present time is because the iron is blunt. Instead of burning energy, spending money on outreaches without fruits, and becoming discouraged, sit down, sharpen your knife and you will see yourself performing very well. When you see the fruits of your evangelism, you will have joy and will be more interested in evangelism. Therefore, you need wisdom. Wisdom is profitable to direct. The world is turning away from God because of sinful civilization. The world is been filled with Churches. Look at our field of evangelism. See the arguments that are there; the resistance that is there; the familiarity to the gospel that is there; and the attacks that are there. But through wisdom we shall win some to Christ; so, apply wisdom.
The Bible tells us that he who must win souls to Christ must be a wise man. If you are going to win your mother, you must be wise. If you want to win your argumentative father, you need wisdom. If you want to win your husband to Christ; you want to win your wife to Christ; you must be wise. If you want to go forth and be a fruitful evangelist, you must be wise. If you want to turn the people to righteousness there must be wisdom. There must be understanding if you want to implant righteousness in the society. Seek wisdom and understanding.
