Thanks for this message. You and I have a role to play to ensure that the Gospel gets to every corner of the world. How dreadful will it be if on that day are we thrown out of the Lord's sight for not fulfilling His mandate. There is nothing so important to God than sinners getting saved, and how will they be saved if they do not hear the word. Our duty to God is to ensure that every soul get saved. Jesus will not come if the gospel is not preached everywhere and to every soul. Often times when we talk about evangelism or soul winning business many people assume it is the sole duty of an evangelist. Jesus never mandated only one person but all of us. Then the question of how to evangelize comes in, How should I preach the gospel? where should I preach? what if they don't hear me when I proclaim the good news? These are the questions we sometimes ask ourselves. Preaching the gospel is telling the world what Jesus has done in your life....how he saved your life, made you a new creature, gave you grace which no man could give. It is not all about quoting scriptures. The Samaritan woman was able to connect an entire city to God with just her testimony and later on an entire city was converted.
One good reason why the Holy Spirit comes upon someone is for demonstration. Every witness needs a proof for his case to be valid enough. If not for signs and wonders how would people just believe Jesus is a healer, and still in the healing business, how would people accept that Jesus died and rose again if we don't raise the dead? Jesus said: and these signs shall follow them, not them following signs. This should tell you that it is for the sake of the gospel why God has permitted that signs or miracles happen. Thanks for sharing
