Bible Note: CDBJ; My reply is a personal testimony concerning the following comment of yours; "It’s not the job of the pastor to reach the lost, it the job of the saints." While in church yesterday, the message we received in the service, was given by a missionary from Gabon, Africa. She emphazied the important fact which you mention here, that it is not just the Pastor's job to do the evangelizing, the missionary, said it's the job of each one of us to accomplish. I keep being reminded from the Lord, that I am to pray that the Lord will prepare hearts, that are ready to hear the saving message of the gospel. I then pray that the Lord would prepare me also, as I go out into the world, into my workplace, into the market place, in my neighborhood, or where ever the Lord wants to send me. I pray that I would be a clean vessel, that God can use to witness to a world that is lost and on its way to hell. Then I pray for the Lord's guidance and wisdom, and surrender my whole being, to Him. I pray and ask God to use my feet to take me to those individuals whose hearts He has made ready, and that He would use my mouth to speak His words, not my words. In my experience, when I have begun my day in prayer like I mentioned, then the Lord has giving me success in witnessing to others, and that has been in answer to prayer. It truly is God's desire to use each one of us for His glory, but it gives us each encouragement and boldness to witness further when we see success in our seed planting and witnessing. Praise be to God, to Him alone belongs the praise honor and glory. Blessings New Creature |
