The word "Gospel" translated from the original Greek literally means "good message" or "good news!" Well what has to happen in order to share good news? Well, we have to actually impart it to others. You see, many Christians believe that they can share the Gospel merely through their actions. They do their best to live out what they believe. And that's wonderful! We absolutely should walk out our faith. We don't want to be a hypocrite that looks no different than the world. The Gospel’s changed us, Jesus has saved us, and we should live it out! But we can't stop there. The message will be unclear—un-understood—if we don't take the time to tell others about it. First Peter two nine tells us, "But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light." So let's learn tell others the Good News! ________________________ ShareLifeAfrica is a Christian radio and podcast program of Evangelism Explosion International Africa Ministry ; that is committed to equipping you with the tools and resources needed to confidently and effectively share your faith with others.”…
How we think about the Gospel impacts firsthand if we share it or not. Do we really view it as Good News? What does the Gospel mean to us? Well, when Jesus came back to Nazareth during His ministry, he visited the synagogue, where He read from the scroll of Isaiah. And Jesus then fulfilled the very prophecy he read: “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim Good News to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free.” When we acknowledge that the Gospel is the way to heal our land, bring freedom to captives, and give a treasure of matchless worth to the poor, our actions change quite dramatically. So then let’s bring this Good News to the poor, sick, and hurting world around us. The Gospel is the answer. And it is Good News for all who hear it! ________________________ ShareLifeAfrica is a Christian radio and podcast program of Evangelism Explosion International Africa Ministry ; that is committed to equipping you with the tools and resources needed to confidently and effectively share your faith with others.”…
Years ago, my neighbor's wife asked him for a divorce. I saw how much he was hurting. So one night, I told him, “Bill, I put my trust in Jesus, and it completely changed my life. It's the most important decision I've ever made. And Jesus can do impossible things—even heal broken marriages.” Bill looked at me and said, “Either you’re a liar, or you hate me.” Well, I was really taken back. He said, “You know, you’ve lived next to me for 5 years and never said anything about Jesus. If this really changed your life and can change mine, well then why haven’t you told me?” I begged him for forgiveness—and then I shared with him about Jesus. Bill put his trust in Christ and it changed his life too. Let’s not to buy into the lie that no one wants to hear the Good News. The Gospel is powerful and essential. ________________________ ShareLifeAfrica is a Christian radio and podcast program of Evangelism Explosion International Africa Ministry ; that is committed to equipping you with the tools and resources needed to confidently and effectively share your faith with others.”…
John Piper said, "The Gospel is the Good News that the everlasting and ever-increasing joy of the never-boring, ever-satisfying Christ is ours freely and eternally by faith in the sin-forgiving death and hope-giving resurrection of Jesus Christ." So why is it that nowadays there are many churches who act like this Good News isn’t that important to share? Well, many Christians have bought into the lie from the enemy that sharing will lead to angry confrontation. So we then neglect to share the very Good News that has changed our lives. We convince ourselves that no one wants to hear it. Well, let me encourage you with this today: I’ve shared the Gospel worldwide to people of all different backgrounds, cultures, and ages. And very rarely have I had anyone react with anger. More often than not, the person I share with thanks me for taking the time to share. ________________________ ShareLifeAfrica is a Christian radio and podcast program of Evangelism Explosion International Africa Ministry ; that is committed to equipping you with the tools and resources needed to confidently and effectively share your faith with others.”…
Do you ever have times when you walk out the door, and you realized you’ve forgotten your keys? Or have you gone on vacation only to realize after you've left that you forgot your toothbrush? Now, these are somewhat silly things to forget. But in the Bible, there were often times when prophets, apostles, and disciples had to remind the people of what God said in His Word because humans can be...well...forgetful! Our attention gets taken by so many things, and we forget the important truths that we have already been told. And the truth is that the church has internationally forgotten something important: We have forgotten that the Gospel is, in fact, GOOD NEWS! It's the love of God shown through what Jesus did on the cross for our sins. And the whole Bible shares of the Father’s deep love for humanity as well as His desire that all would hear the Gospel. ________________________ ShareLifeAfrica is a Christian radio and podcast program of Evangelism Explosion International Africa Ministry ; that is committed to equipping you with the tools and resources needed to confidently and effectively share your faith with others.”…
It’s a fact—most people who love Jesus and embrace the Bible as God’s Holy Word never share the Gospel. I was in that same situation. I never thought anyone would listen to me, but God granted me the opportunity to see that spiritual light turn on in others’ lives as they made professions of faith in Jesus. All it took was some tools and training that helped me share. And it’s not just me but millions of others also. One Vietnamese couple comes to mind. They’re from Canada. They attended Sunday services and Bible studies for years. They are very involved in their church. But they didn’t know how to share their faith. After they gathered a few resources and some training to get started, it changed their lives. Other Christian friends saw this dramatic change too. Now they are faithfully, fruitfully witnessing. ________________________ ShareLifeAfrica is a Christian radio and podcast program of Evangelism Explosion International Africa Ministry ; that is committed to equipping you with the tools and resources needed to confidently and effectively share your faith with others.”…
Have you checked off your Christian to do list today? Barna Research did a study that shares that most churchgoers equate spiritual maturity with following a list of rules. But that's not what the Bible says at all! Instead, Jesus tells us to abide in Him to produce spiritual fruit. Spiritual maturity isn't measured by checking all the boxes—it's measured by the Fruit of the Spirit. And the Fruit of the Spirit is produced by the Lord working in us as we abide in Him! Lamentations three says that because of the Lord's great love we're not consumed - His mercy is new every morning, and great is His faithfulness! The Lord is so gentle with us and faithful to us. So, instead of focusing on what you think will make you look like a better Christian, focus on the power of the Holy Spirit, and spread the Gospel gently and faithfully to everyone you can. ________________________ ShareLifeAfrica is a Christian radio and podcast program of Evangelism Explosion International Africa Ministry ; that is committed to equipping you with the tools and resources needed to confidently and effectively share your faith with others.”…
Isn't God good? All the time! All the time, God is good. We also know that He is kind...and He is patient. Just ask Bill! Bill had been praying for decades for his sister-in-law to come to saving faith in Jesus. He patiently prayed for her heart to be softened, and she finally accepted Jesus as her Lord and Savior. Talk about a celebration! You see, the Fruit of the Spirit includes patience, kindness, and goodness. This story shows us God's kindness and goodness, and His patient pursuit of our hearts! The Lord gave Bill patience to pray for his sister-in-law and the words to speak the Gospel to her. Romans two four (2:4) says it's the kindness of the Lord that brings us to repentance. How can you be an example of patience, kindness, and goodness? Look to the Lord and His Word, and He will produce the Fruit of His Spirit in you. ________________________ ShareLifeAfrica is a Christian radio and podcast program of Evangelism Explosion International Africa Ministry ; that is committed to equipping you with the tools and resources needed to confidently and effectively share your faith with others.”…
Have you heard the old song, "I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart?" Well, if you know Jesus then you can experience true joy! And you can spread it, too! When you placed your trust in Jesus alone, you've experienced the love of God; and there is true joy and peace in knowing where you'll spend eternity. Love, joy, and peace are part of the fruit of the Spirit; and we can use these God-given characteristics to lead people to saving faith in Him. Pio sent in his testimony on whats my story dot org, and he shared that before his brother led him to Jesus that he struggled with immense angry. Now that he knows Jesus, he says his heart is full of peace and joy and that he can now share love and forgiveness with others! This, my friend, is the Fruit of the Holy Spirit. ________________________ ShareLifeAfrica is a Christian radio and podcast program of Evangelism Explosion International Africa Ministry ; that is committed to equipping you with the tools and resources needed to confidently and effectively share your faith with others.”…
Have you heard of the "Fruit of the Spirit?" Galatians five twenty-two and twenty-three(5:22-23) list nine characteristics of a Holy Spirit-filled life: "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law." When you look at the life of Jesus, you see every one of these qualities. If you'll devote yourself to Him, you'll look like He does! If you're walking close to the Lord, you'll see the Fruit of the Spirit in your own life; and these traits will help you become an effective witness for Jesus! Now, you may thinking, "how can I share the Gospel using the Fruit of the Spirit?" Well, think each one and use them in your actions and speech. Let your intentions be out of love, speak with joy, share His peace and be patient with those you share with. ________________________ ShareLifeAfrica is a Christian radio and podcast program of Evangelism Explosion International Africa Ministry ; that is committed to equipping you with the tools and resources needed to confidently and effectively share your faith with others.”…
Do you realize that Jesus prayed for you? Now, what did He pray? One thing He prayed, the night of His arrest before Calvary, was this: “Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world.” This is God's great mission! Right before Jesus was arrested, brutally beaten and killed, He prayed for the lost. He prayed that people would come to know Him - to be in Heaven with Him one day. Are you praying for the lost too? If you're not, I would encourage you to start today! Make a list of ten people you know that need to hear about Jesus. And then faithfully pray for them by name each day. Do not be shocked when you see God answer! He may even do so by giving you the opportunity to share the Gospel with them. ________________________ ShareLifeAfrica is a Christian radio and podcast program of Evangelism Explosion International Africa Ministry ; that is committed to equipping you with the tools and resources needed to confidently and effectively share your faith with others.”…
Who are you praying for? I'm sure that if you know Jesus, you pray regularly for your family and friends and maybe even some people that you don't personally know. But are you praying for the lost? The Lord seeks to save us, and He hears our prayers. So if you're praying for the lost, He will answer for He desires all to hear the Gospel. Pray for them by name that they would be receptive to hear who Jesus is and what He has done. Pray that they will be given the opportunity to accept the grace of Jesus. And as you pray, don't forget to ask for Christians to be raised up to share the Gospel with the lost. Matthew chapter nine says the harvest is plentiful but the workers are few, so ask the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into the field. Finally, let’s be willing to be one of those workers! ________________________ ShareLifeAfrica is a Christian radio and podcast program of Evangelism Explosion International Africa Ministry ; that is committed to equipping you with the tools and resources needed to confidently and effectively share your faith with others.”…
Have you ever prayed for a great revival? Have you given up praying for that revival yet? There was once a 100-year prayer meeting - that's right, a prayer meeting that last one hundred years! The prayer was for revival, and it happened. The 100 Year Prayer meeting was held in Saxony Germany; and 65 years into it, the community that was praying had already sent out 300 missionaries! Not only did they devote themselves to prayer, but they were also willing to go out themselves and share the Good News of Jesus Christ. Don't give up praying with believers for revival to happen. Pray for the Gospel to be heard and share the Gospel! Jesus said that where two or three gather in His Name, He will be among them. So, spend time in prayer with other believers and watch God move among you. ________________________ ShareLifeAfrica is a Christian radio and podcast program of Evangelism Explosion International Africa Ministry ; that is committed to equipping you with the tools and resources needed to confidently and effectively share your faith with others.”…
Did you know that God has a very specific purpose for your life? His last command to His disciples should be our first concern—to go and make disciples. However, when we hear this, I think sometimes we convince ourselves that this means we need to sell all we have and move to a different country to be a missionary for Jesus. While that may be some’s call, what Jesus means is that while we are going…make disciples. Whatever we are doing in our day-to-day life, we should be focused on telling others the Good News. Oliver shared on what’s my story dot org: “I spend time with unbelieving friends weekly at orchestra. I didn't used to put any significance on that time, but now I understand that it has a purpose--I have a Great Commission, and they are watching me. This informs the way I speak, the way I treat others, the way I act, and the way I work.” ________________________ ShareLifeAfrica is a Christian radio and podcast program of Evangelism Explosion International Africa Ministry ; that is committed to equipping you with the tools and resources needed to confidently and effectively share your faith with others.”…
“Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross...” These verses in Hebrews twelve clearly show us our greatest example of commitment at all cost, and that is our Savior Jesus. He endured trials and suffering for the sake us being saved. And we have the great privilege to tell others this Great News—that Jesus died on the cross for our sins,and purchased eternal life for us. We should be excited to do so! And yes, it can be scary—there can be a cost that comes with sharing the Gospel with others. But Jesus knew there would be a cost and it did not stop Him. He laid down His life willingly. So we should do the same and use our lives to lovingly and boldly share the Gospel with others.
