HOW OFTEN DO YOU TALK ABOUT YOUR FRIEND?
Imagine spending an entire workday with your best friend at your side. You would with no doubt acknowledge his/her presence throughout the day by introducing him to your friends or business associates and talking to him/her about the various activities of the day. But how would your friend feel if you never talked to him or acknowledged his presence? Yet that’s how we treat the Lord when we fail to pray, read the Bible and talk to people about Him.The you would feel if you were with a friend who does not bother introducing you to his/her other friends, talk to you or notice you at all is exactly how God is when you do the same to/with Him. However, do not forget that it is God who uses us to bring people into His Kingdom and that is an Honour. But we must also be aware that He is perfectly capable of doing it without us anyway, in a sense of saying that even if you won't talk about Jesus to your friends, it doesn't necessarily mean that He is helpless.The take home message for evangelism is that you really can’t go too wrong. Be gentle and respectful (1 Pet 3:15-16), bold and courageous (Josh 1:9) and above all trust God to do the work (Zech 4:6). Think, pray, act and speak wisely. It’s hard, but in the end, the battle is God’s (Prov 21:31) and nobody can do anything to thwart God’s plan.
GOD BLESS YOU ABUNDANTLY!
