Is it so hard to share about Jesus ?

John 20:21
Again Jesus said, "Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you."

- It's the will of the Father making every christian a missionary.
- It's the will of the Father that every soul will be saved that no one will perish without knowing Jesus.
- If you're doing the will of the Father, you will be blessed.
- It's our RESPONSIBILITY to carry the gospel to every nation and creature that breathes on this earth.



Romans 10:12-15
12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile--the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him,

13 for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."

14 How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?

15 And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!"

-Thus, everyone not only the pastors should RISE UP and preach the gospel.




How should we cultivate the passion to preach the gospel ?
- a heart of gratitude provokes the desire to preach the gospel. How can you not share what He has done for you when you're so blessed by Him ? It's easy for us to share which cafe offers the best delicacies (Samosa ? One Some ?) and which movie (Transformers ? Dark knight ? Mamma Mia ?) is worth-watching but why it's so hard to share how great and wonderful Jesus is ???

-if you have the right relationship with God, and you allow Christ to help you to reach that level of intimacy with God, your heart will burn with passion to preach the gospel.

-Just imagine if only the gospel has been preached and accepted by every single soul on this earth, the doors of heaven will be opened and God's love will pour down like waterfall and until then, there will be no more crimes, police station and prisons will be unnecessary because there's peace and the power of the Holy Spirit in everyone's heart.


Is something called f-e-a-r stop you from sharing the gospel ?
- Always remember that God gives us the Holy Spirit to be with us and we are to rely on His power to share the gospel.
- SHARING the gospel is your job while CONVERTING is Holy Spirit's.
-When you're facing rejection, remember that people are rejecting the GOSPEL not YOU.
- Every attempt of sharing the gospel is a success as you're obeying the Great Commission.
- Fear is NOT from God but rather something negative directly from the gates of Hades. Throw the fear into the thrash can as it belongs there and start sharing the gospel.

May the gospel reach every single soul on this earth. Amen. God bless you.

Being a witness for CHRIST

Matthew 5:16 In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.

Why should I witness ?

- to ARREST evil

- to REDUCE the number of lost souls

- to OBEY the word of God

When a person is lost physically, their loved ones spare no effort to hunt for them. Isn't a LOST SOUL more precious than a missing person ?

What it means to be a witness ? 

Luke 15:8-10

8Or suppose a woman has ten silver coins and loses one. Does she not light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it?

9And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, 'Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin.'

10In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents." 

Luke 15:3-7

3 Then Jesus told them this parable:

4 "Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Does he not leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it?

5 And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders

6 and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, 'Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.'

7 I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent. 

When & how should I witness ?

Romans 10:14

How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?

The Gospel 

- is the good news

- is telling others what God has done in your life

-is your testimony

Sharing the Gospel is proclaiming who God is

- what is your story ?

- how did you come to know Jesus?

- What is God to you after you know Jesus?

To conclude:

-Do you see lost souls the way we see missing persons?

-Will you be his witness ? You have heard the good news, you have believed it and you have experienced it, what else are you waiting for ? 

-Do you have something to share to others ?

Share what God is doing in your life and what He is to you.
