“As for you, always be steady, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfil your ministry.” 2 Timothy 4:5 (RSV)

When was the last time we witnessed to someone?  We don’t have to follow a “formula”; we can simply share a blessing God has done in our life to strike up a conversation. We can say God is good, He has……, and then say whatever He has done.  Each individual is unique, and we must be sensitive to the Holy Spirit by showing love and not be pushy. We must let God do the witnessing through us. We may face rejection, but we must be steady and endure suffering. I love to go witnessing every Friday at Pittman Plaza. A Korean Church sets up a tent there and gives out free food and water. Their English is broken, yet they are fulfilling the call to evangelism. I so admire them.  People come to their tent and listen to what they have to say. I often start my conversations by asking people if they have a home church and then invite them to church if they don’t have one. I show them the love of God by showing that I care for them. I truly love people and want them to spend eternity with God. As God leads me, He gives me supernatural boldness and puts the words in my mouth. It is such a joy to see a soul come to the Lord or a backslidder get right with the Lord. We must never forget the price God paid on Calvary for us. We must tell others. We must remember resurrection day every day. Time is short. Lives are at stake. Won’t you tell someone about Jesus?

“Lord, help me to always be steady and diligent enduring suffering. Empower me to witness Lord. May I do the work of an evangelist and fulfill ministry.”

For His Glory
