Consistent Study Of God's Word And Evangelism/witnessing by ochibuogwu5: 11:21pm On Oct 05, 2020 |
something about studying the word of God, meditating on the word of God and evangelism: When you pray and ask God through His Holy Spirit to reveal the mercy and grace of Jesus personality as a Christian or even an unbeliever before you study any part of the holy bible especially the new testament You will be granted access into the whole truth that Jesus Christ Crucified is the Son of God and the only means of human salvation. You will discover the words that *Jesus used to answer the questions that were arising from the thoughts in the heart of the people around Him* whether *the argumentative jews/scribes/pharisees* or *the crowd following HIM* or *His own believing disciples*. This will help you to gain access into the thoughts/premonitions in the hearts of people around you made clearer by the Holy Spirit revelations to you and attend to them just as the Holy Spirit gives you guidance like Jesus Christ responded, where the jews/scribes/pharisees represents *unbelievers in Jesus in our days*, the crowds represents the set of people who are *indecisive about the gospel and those looking for dramas, miracles, stage performance and benefits from the gospel that they are undecided about*, and the disciples represents both *those who genuinely believe and those who claim to believe in the gospel*. This will also help you *to have access to the right words with which to deal with the questions* your mind will often bring up to you about your faith in Jesus or about any aspect of human living. You will also discover how Jesus responded to the external words, questions or behaviors of the 3-different categories of people around HIM which the Holy Spirit will also use to help you respond to these category of persons in our present generation. You will also discover the appropriate words, questions, prayers, attitudes and relationship between Jesus, His Father and the Holy Spirit which will help you to gain access into the right words for dialoguing with God in your heart/mind or vocally as well as when to ask questions, when to pray and how to pray to the Father through faith in Jesus, when to utter a decree as the Holy Spirit prompts you and the best way to relate with the GOD-HEAD(Father, Son and Holy Spirit) now dwelling eternally within you *with or without any human support/teaching* You will also discover that when you obtain mercy from the throne of God's grace to evangelize whether on the streets, internets, social-media, house-to-house, offices, schools, industries, recreational-parks e.t.c., there are words or utterances or explanations that come out of your mouth which you never knew before that moment of engaging a particular person in evangelism which answers some questions you have been asking God personally or clarifies doubts you have about a particular doctrine/teaching in God's word hence those who do not engage in evangelism are having stunted growth in their faith because of these accumulated unanswered questions in their mind which can only be answered by the outpouring of the Holy Spirit utterance at the point of evangelism thus Jesus declared "But when they hand you over, do not worry about how or what you are to say; for what you are to say will be given you within that [very] hour; for it is not you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you." (Matthew 10:19-20 AMP) Therefore, if you are an unbeliever who is willing to find out whether the God of the bible is REAL.... I encourage you to ask the God of the bible to reveal HIMSELF to you before you open its content to study each time and I will encourage you to start studying from the Gospel of St. John chapter 1 and make progress from 1-chapter to the next chapter-2 and so on then after going through the whole 21-chapters of St. John's gospel go back to St. Matthews gospel and move from there through to the book of revelation..... As long as you asked the God of the bible to reveal HIMSELF to you before you open its content to study each moment, by the time you get to the last verse of revelation (Revelation 22:21), The Holy Spirit will convince you that Jesus is the Son of God and the only means of human salvation hence also convict you that you are a sinner that needs to be saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ Crucified. For believers who have unbelievers in the gospel who are willing to find out the truth about the God of the bible and they are willing to search out the truth for themselves, I will encourage you use advise them to go through the new testament scriptures prayerfully seeking to receive the revelation of the God of the bible in the manner stated above. For Christians who do not have the desire to study the word of God at-all for each 24-hours or study without commitment or study only at public gatherings of believers or study only psalms for a particular prayer-point or study only the passages given to them by their pastors/priests/fellowship-leaders, you can see what you are missing and the reason why you feel empty, lonely, bored, depressed, frustrated, unable to answer peculiar questions bothering your mind for long now, attracted to sin or under the control of sin even after so many disciplines, fasting and prayers, confession of the same sin over and again to God yet you claim to be a believer in the gospel of Jesus Christ Crucified but the word of God says "We are *born-again by the incorruptible seed of the living word of God* which abides and lives forever not by a corruptible word which does not last forever" (1 Peter. 1:23) hence it is the *quantity and the quality(doctrinal correctness of the gospel you have heard)* of the seed of the word of God which is active in your life as a Christian-per-time will determine whether you are *genuinely born-again in Christ Jesus Crucified* which gives you *the capacity(mercy and grace obtained from the throne of God's grace) to remain incorruptible* from sinful enticements, attractions, thoughts, temptations, imaginations and circumstances around you in this present generation. For those who are shying away from *vocal-evangelism/witnessing* as a Christian, you can also see why some of the questions of your mind about God, faith and relationship with God and other human beings have not been answered. Do not shy away from vocal-evangelism any more rather pray to God for the empowerment of the Holy Spirit according to Act.1:8 and obtain mercy for yourself and those who will hear you such that you will have grace to release the word of God in such a manner that yourself and those who listen to you will obtain mercy to repent genuinely unto salvation in Jesus Christ Crucified and mercy to grow in unwavering righteousness for those who already believe in Christ. The Holy Spirit is inviting us back to our first love with HIM in an unbroken fellowship with HIM in personal daily consistent and progressive study of our holy bible as well as evangelism/witnessing. It is one thing to know about this outcry of the Holy Spirit for us to return to a fellowship with HIM in our daily personal bible studies and evangelism/witnessing then it is another thing to obtain mercy from the throne of His grace in order to have grace to obey this instruction. Father, we come to your throne of grace seeking to obtain mercy in order to have grace to fellowship deliberately, consistently and progressively with Your GOD-HEAD in your written and revealed word in the holy bible as well as winning souls through witnessing as you instructed in this time much more than we have ever done before through the unlimited manifestations of Your Holy Spirit in Jesus Name. Amen. Great Grace Brethren!!! |
