PREACH THE WORD

PREACH THE WORD
“Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.” 2 Tim 4:2
Preaching the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ is a command for all believers in Christ. Jesus said …Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. Mark 16:15. Not until you preach in crusade or your local assembly, good moral life telling someone about Christ and His second coming is propagating the gospel.
The gospel of Christ must be preached with the word of God, “… the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life” and the power of the Holy Spirit, “For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.”
The reason most people fail in fulfilling is because they are timid and they have inferiority complex; “what do I say? If you are in Christ, the Holy Spirit will speak through you. Some are afraid of devil and his cohort; God has given us a name that is above every other name that at the mention of the name of Christ every knee shall bow. The seventy whom Jesus appoints for the gospel went out with this mind and came back with testimony. “And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.” Luke 10:17
Have been save by the blood of the lamb, if yes, you need to arise for the salvation of others. Children, your friend, neighbor, family and the entire world must be save for Christ. They may portray as if they are not interested, but you never know what God is doing in their life. If God is prompting you to share Christ with someone, then he has gone ahead of you and is preparing them as well.
God has strategically place each one of us in places of work, in neighborhoods, and in certain social situations NOT for our comfort, but rather He placed us there with specific relationships so that we can literally tell others about Jesus. It’s NOT a one-time deal; it’s a core value that we must embrace in our lives if we are going to follow Christ.
In addition, you are not sent to condemn, but to reconcile the entire world back to God. “And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.”
2 Cor 5:18-19.
Lastly, arise for the salvation of the lost souls with the word of faith, love, good moral life and power of Holy Spirit, so that their blood will not be on your head (Ezek. 33).
Shalom!!!
