I need help; how can I witness for Jesus Christ
But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give
an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with
meekness and fear. (1 Peter 3:15 KJV)
But the Lord said unto me, Say not, I am a
child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I
command thee thou shalt speak.Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee
to deliver thee, saith the Lord. (Jeremiah 1:7-8 KJV)
But ye shall
receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be
witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and
unto the uttermost part of the earth. (Acts 1:8 KJV)
For I am not ashamed of the gospel
of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that
believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. (Romans
1:16 KJV)
Since you are saved (seen God’s Light), you have to share the gospel with the people around you. You must not be selfish with your salvation.
This is a commandment from God. We should share the Love of Jesus with others and prevent them from eternal destruction (hell).
And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me
in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing
them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe
all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even
unto the end of the world. Amen. (Matthew 28:18-20 KJV)
Sharing the Gospel can be a nervous task. Eloquent persons have become
stammerers during the course of sharing the gospel. Lively persons and talkatives
have become dull and quiet when it comes to sharing the gospel.Reasons for not being able to share the Gospel effectively
·
Being Scared (afraid) of God as that wicked
Judge, just waiting for you to make mistakes
·
Inadequate preparation – inability to memorise
scriptures
·
Preaching out of compulsion even when you don’t
understanding what the gospel (Good news not Bad news) is
·
Trying to quote a lot of scriptures
·
Trying to speak KJV (Non modern) English instead
of their natural way of speaking
·
Having a wrong mindset that preaching is very
difficult
·
Lack of Zeal
·
Among others…
Nevertheless I will correct these wrong attitudes as well as give other methods of sharing the gospel.
·
God is not a wicked Judge, He is a loving father
(Jn 3:16) willing to forgive all your sins as you ask for pardon and grant you
more grace. (Heb 4:16)
·
You don’t need to quote a lot of scriptures and
confuse the main message, understand what you are preaching and give it in
clear terms.
·
Speaking
KJV (Non modern) English does not make one spiritual. Preach the gospel
in modern English. If you are finding that version of bible difficult to
understand, get a bible in simple English (NIV, TLB etc). Ignorance is a killer
·
“I can’t do I mindset” is a wrong mindset. Preaching
is not difficult my brother/sister just as speaking is not difficult. Preaching
is as easy as discussion after a football match. It only requires training
·
Be Zealous for God. God hates lukewarmness
Some other means of Sharing the Gospel
·
Giving of Tracts
·
Through a bible Study group
·
Discussion
·
Through Stickers/Banners/Billboards/Magazines
·
Through Christian movies
·
Through phone calls/text message
·
Though social network
·
Among many…
