Will You Or Won’t You?
When you became a Christian, you also became God’s messenger. God wants to speak through you, to your friends & family. You may feel you don’t have anything to share, but that’s the Devil trying to keep you silent.
How can you be the Messenger? Let me mention just a few!
Through your witness or testimony. Telling your story of how Jesus has made a difference in your life, is being a messenger. In a courtroom, a witness isn’t expected to argue the case.
You are not expected to be an attorney but a witness. They simply report what happened to them. Acts 1:8 …you will be my witness
Through your teaching & answers. You teach by example with your life & by your words, this can invite questions. It is worth knowing Paul’s words here: Col. 4:5 Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. 6 Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.
Through your Invitation. One of the easiest ways in being God’s messenger is through inviting your friends or family to a situation where the gospel will be taught. The Come & Seequotation is used a number of times in Scripture as an invitation. Jesus, Philip & the Samaritan woman all used Come & See as an invitation for people to join them & learn.
On Sunday the 19th October you have an opportunity to especially ask your friends & family to Come & See & hear a special presentation of the gospel as well as hearing testimonies of how Jesus has changed people’s lives.
Please use the opportunity to pray for your friends & family & for your invitation of them.
Leave it to God whether he moves them to come or not!
