Hello steemians, It is another beautiful and blessed week I hope you all had fun during the weekend? I wish you all the best in this new week. Today I will be writing on a topic that involves each and every one of us as far as we are Christians the topic today which talks about how churches are no longer strong and fervent in evangelism is meant for us all. Before going into the study of today I will like to briefly explain what evangelism is, for the sake of those that do not know.
Evangelism in a layman's words is the commitment or the act of publicly preaching and spreading the Gospel of the lord.
One of the thing Jesus Christ came to do on earth was to spread the gospel and he achieved this at all cost, because Jesus Christ did not just sit at a spot he went around with his disciples preaching the gospel and it was recorded that so many converts grabbed the word. In the book of Matthew 4:23 it says
Jesus was going throughout all Galilee, preaching, teaching and spreading the gospel in their synagogues and he was healing every kind of sickness and diseases.
Churches today
When Jesus was leaving he gave this was on of the things he told his disciples to do, that is to spread the word all over and now in our churches today nobody wants to go out anymore and preach the gospel they feel that the word has reached every part of the earth which is not true, I could recall that when Peter preached in the old days sometimes it was recorded that thousands give their life to christ just in a day and then today churches are finding it difficult to set a day aside to just go out and preach the word. A quick reminder of who is the church, we are the church we make up the church. The buildings you see are just mere structures but the church lies in our hearts and so we Christians should now wait until our pastors command us to go out, we can start little by preaching to our neighbors. I understand that most people are avoiding some part of the country recently because of the current killings by some sect, remember so many martyr that died for the sake of Christ, we can start little on our environment. Let is revive the evangelism unit, remember that God is always happy for any soul that is won unto him so just imagine what your reward will be if you bring in a new soul to christ.
Bible scriptures about evangelism
In Mark 1:38
Our lord Jesus Christ said to his disciples, "Let us go somewhere else to the towns around us, so that I may preach there also; for that is what he came to the world to do"
Again in Luke 4:43
He said to his disciples, "I must preach the word of God to the other towns and cities also, for I came for this purpose"
In conclusion
Christians today should endeavor to put the things of God first, and evangelism is not left out it is very important for the Christian race. And remember we shall all account honor every soul we bring in and every soul we destroyed.
