DO THE WORK OF AN EVANGELIST
But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.
1 Timothy 4:5
To do the work of an evangelist does not necessarily mean to
go out there and hold crusades, although you can do that, if God is leading you
in that direction.
To do the work of an evangelist means to win souls. This is
what you should do as a Christian, whether you are a minister of the gospel or
not.
You can win souls in your home, neighborhood, at your
workplace, institution of learning, in the bus, at the park, etc. You can win
souls practically anywhere. You have to be ready in and out of season to share
the Word with others.
It goes without saying that to be an effective soul winner
you have to be prayerful. You need to pray for the lost. The devil has blinded
them to the truth, so you need to pray for them to see. You need to pray for
them to receive the gospel.
But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who
are perishing, whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe,
lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God,
should shine on them.
2 Corinthians 4:4
When you win souls you advance God’s kingdom. When you win
souls you do the work of an evangelist. There is a great reward for those who
win souls, if you truly want to serve God then become a soul winner.
Preach the gospel and back it up with your lifestyle. It has
become increasingly easy to share the Word with others through all the social
media platforms, the media and the internet. Make use of them.
It is time to preach the gospel, win souls and turn many to
righteousness. God has given us the world to manage and it is time that we fill
it with the knowledge of the glory of God.
And He said to them, Go into all the world and preach the
gospel to every creature.
Mark 16:15
Thought of the day: I have to do the work of an evangelist.
Confession: I’m a soul winner!
