Title: Evangelism.

-


Scripture Focus: Matthew 28:18
"Then Jesus came to them and said, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations…’"  

The Great Commission
Jesus’ words in Matthew 28:18–20 are not a suggestion but a command. With all authority given to Him, He sends His followers to proclaim the good news. Evangelism is the heartbeat of the gospel — it is how the message of salvation spreads from one generation to the next.  

Why Evangelism Matters:
- Obedience to Christ: Sharing the gospel is a direct response to Jesus’ command. To ignore it is to neglect His final instructions.  
- Love for the lost: Romans 10:14 reminds us, “How can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard?” Without evangelism, many remain in darkness.  
- Power of the gospel: Romans 1:16 declares, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes.” Evangelism unleashes this power.  
- Eternal impact: Daniel 12:3 says those who lead many to righteousness will shine like stars forever. Evangelism has eternal rewards.  

Why You Must Participate:
Every believer is called to be a witness (Acts 1:8). Evangelism is not reserved for pastors or missionaries; it is the responsibility of all who have received salvation. When you share Christ, you partner with God in His redemptive plan for the world.  

Reflection:
Ask yourself today: Who can I share the good news with? Evangelism begins with one conversation, one act of love, one testimony of what Christ has done in your life.

Title: Wisdom from God.

-
Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV [5] Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; And lean not unto thine own understanding. [6] In all thy ways acknowledge him, And he shall direct thy paths. Devotion:  If you’ve ever gone on a trip somewhere you’ve never been, you know how important it is to have a map. Maps help us navigate the unknown areas ahead. Similarly, God’s Word helps us navigate through the unknown seasons of life. It reveals God’s wisdom, which can be essential in guiding our lives.  The book of Proverbs is filled with wisdom and knowledge that helps people live according to God’s purposes for their life. It starts by acknowledging that everything begins with God.   Because God is the creator of life, He knows what direction our lives should go. Our role, according to Proverbs, is to seek Him and trust Him. Trusting God means having a relationship with Him and believing that He knows what's best for us.   The more we trust in God and submit our lives to Him, the more we wi...

Title: Divine Acceleration.

Genesis 41:40-41  Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou. And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt. And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt. Devotion: Have you ever felt like your dreams are taking too long to come true? Like you're walking a slow path while others seem to be racing ahead? Take heart—God is a God of acceleration! When He steps in, He can take you from waiting to walking in His promises in an instant.   Consider the story of Joseph. Sold into slavery by his own brothers, imprisoned for a crime he didn’t commit—it seemed like his dreams were slipping further away. But when God's appointed time arrived, Joseph was promoted from the prison to the palace in a single day! (Genesis 41:14-41). Years of waiting, hardship, and ...

Title: Confidence in Christ: A Biblical Perspective.

Philippians 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: Devotion:  The journey of faith is one of trust and assurance in the unfailing promises of God. Philippians 1:6 reminds us that the good work God begins in us will be perfected until the day of Jesus Christ. This confidence is not based on human ability or circumstances but on the unwavering faithfulness of God.   Throughout the Bible, we see examples of individuals who placed their confidence in Christ and witnessed His faithfulness in completing what He started. 1. Abraham – Confidence in God's Promise     Abraham was called by God to leave his homeland and journey to an unknown land with the promise of becoming the father of many nations (Genesis 12:1-3). Despite his old age and Sarah’s barrenness, Abraham believed in God's promise. Romans 4:20-21 states that Abraham "did not waver through unbelief regarding the promi...
