Let us be bold in preaching the gospel and not be timid.
THE CALLED & EMPOWERED:
NOW IS THE TIME FOR ALL DISCIPLES OF CHRIST TO PICK UP THE SLACK AND START PREACHING THE KINGDOM OF GOD AS WE ‘VE BEEN DIRECTED BY CHRIST HIMSELF. (MARK, 16:-15-16)
AS CHOSEN DISCIPLES OF CHRIST, WE ARE TO MOVE OUTSIDE OUR COMFORT ZONES AND VIGOROUSLY SPREAD THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST TO THOSE WHO ARE MUCH MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR SOULS AFTER THEY DEPARTED.
THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY THAT LEADS TO ETERNAL SALVATION. THAT WAY IS, “JESUS CHRIST THE SAVIOR”
THERE IS NO OTHER WAY TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH HIM.
JOHN, 14:-6 “JESUS ANSWERED, “I AM THE WAY AND THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE. NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH ME.”
WE HAVE BEEN CHOSEN FOR THIS PURPOSE. WHY ARE WE SO TIMID IN DOING WHAT WE ARE CALLED TO DO?
JOHN, 15:-16 “YOU DID NOT CHOOSE ME, BUT I CHOSE YOU AND APPOINTED YOU THAT YOU SHOULD GO AND BEAR FRUIT, AND THAT YOUR FRUIT SHOULD ABIDE; SO THAT WHATEVER YOU ASK THE FATHER IN MY NAME, HE WILL GIVE TO YOU.”
OUR EXPECTED FRUIT IS TO WIN SOULS FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD
ISAIAH, 61:-1 “THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD GOD IS UPON ME BECAUSE THE LORD HAS ANOINTED ME TO PREACH GOOD TIDINGS UNTO THE MEEK.”
GO YE INTO THE WORLD AND PREACH THE GOSPEL TO EVERY CREATURE SAYS THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.
THIS ASSIGNMENT IS NOT ONLY FOR THE PASTORS AND SHEPHERDS BUT FOR EVERY FOLLOWER OF CHRIST.
OUR FEARFULNESS HAS PUSHED US TO BE PREACHING THE GOSPEL OF INCLUSIVENESS BY REASON OF NOT BEING OFFENSIVE IN PREACHING THE GOSPEL.
IN CONCLUSION: WE MUST BE BOLD IN PREACHING THE GOSPEL AS IT IS WRITTEN IN THE HOLY BIBLE. “WHOEVER BELIEVES AND BAPTIZED WILL BE SAVED, BUT WHOEVER DOES NOT BELIEVE WILL BE CONDEMNED.”
WHAT THEY MUST BELIEVE IS, “JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD” AND HE IS THE ONLY WAY TO THE FATHER.
