(The best way to be a blessing in someone’s life)
“Success in witnessing is sharing Christ in the power of the
Holy Spirit and leaving the results with God.”
(Bill Bright, founder of Campus Crusade for Christ, 1970)
"So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither is he
that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. 1 Cor. 3:7
Is there anything more important to the Child of God than
confronting those with whom he comes into contact with
the eventual accountability they will make before God?
“And it is appointed unto men, once to die but after this
the judgment.” Hebrews 9: 27
“But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall
speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judg-
ment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by
thy words thou shalt be condemned.” Matthew 12: 36-37
You and I must warn others of this...Ezekiel 3: 17 - 21.
“Today, I am putting you and me on notice just what the Lord
God has charged us to do. If we do not this thing, our friends
blood will be on our heads. Is this something we want to risk?
What can we do about it?
**********************************************************
1. Make sure about your personal relationship with
Jesus Christ. Is the Spirit of the Son of God living,
and active in your life? "The Spirit, itself, beareth
witness with our spirit, that we are the children of
God." Romans 8: 16
"He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness
in himself; he that believeth not God hath made Him a
liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave
of His Son. And this is the record that God hath given
to us eternal life and that life is in His Son."
1 John 5: 10-11.
2. You and I must be equipped with the knowledge needed
to communicate this “Good News” to whomever our God
places within our circle of influence.
"All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is
profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction,
for instruction in righteousness; That the man of
God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto every
good work."
II Tim. 3: 16-17, We must use Scripture to reach out to
those to whom we would communicate the saving
grace of Jesus Christ.
3. We must make sure our lives are not a reproach upon the Son
of God. "Moreover he must have a good report of them which
are without; (outside the community of faith) Lest he fall into
reproach and the snare of the devil." 1 Tim. 3: 7 (As a deacon)
4. Knowing this, It is not within our power to ‘save’ anyone.
If there is a work done in a person to whom we witness
and/or within ourselves, it is God doing the work. We just
ask to be used of Him. "Being confident of this very thing,
that He which hath begun a good work in you will perform
it until the day of Jesus Christ: (Philippians 1: 6)
5. Simply talk about the Lord, Kingdom principles, of how
he has done a work in your own life; of how your came to
faith, and watch Him work.
