Romans 15: 17-21
Memory Verse:
“And so I have made it my aim to preach the gospel” (Romans 15:20a). We serve a boundless God. He calls us to a boundless ministry that He prepared us for when He saved us.
The boundless nature of the gospel ministry leads us to new terrains so all who need to know Jesus can get to be introduced to Him. Our commission is to all men as Jesus commanded in Matthew 28:20 and the need is still enormous. We are mandated to tell all humanity that God loved them enough to send Jesus to die while they were yet sinners. He expects that we tell the world about Him at all times. God is the One who blesses our efforts, so we can share His word at any time, anyhow and anywhere.
Jesus set the pace by showing us how to reach all with the message of salvation. He showed the love of God in His healings, by allowing children access to Him and even witnessed to the Samaritan woman with a wayward past in Sychar (John 4:5-26)! Paul also went all over the then world telling Jews and Gentiles, alike, about Christ. He taught in synagogues, marketplaces, at the riverside
and in prisons. Philip travelled the desert road to meet the Ethiopian Eunuch,a total stranger (Acts 8:26-28).
God has given you the mandate and all you need to present His message anywhere, anytime, anyhow and to anyone. Are you aware of this? Jesus started the conversation by asking the Samaritan woman for water. How well are you doing? When was the last time you told someone about Jesus?
PrayerPoints:
1. Lead me to a soul today, Lord, and teach me what to say.
2. Let telling others about You be my priority, Lord.
