When you are born again, it's more important than you realize. You have become a new creation, you are justified and sanctified. Salvation is God coming into you. You become a spirit being. You have become a child of God and you are a partaker of the eternal inheritance. You are victorious over the world and its inducements and temptations. Your life is successful and prosperous. You live a transcendental life. Colossians 1:27; "To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:" What God had to do was radical. He had to recreate you through Christ. He delivered you from the darkness of sin and into the glorious light of the Heavenly Kingdom.
Isaiah 1:18; "Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool." You cannot be transformed without the blood. You are dead in sin and now you are born of the Spirit.
2 Corinthians 5:17; "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold all things are become new."
You are a new creation through Christ when you believe that Christ died on the Cross for your sins.
Galatians 3:1-3;
1. O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?
2. This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
3. Are ye foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?"
Paul called Galatian Christians foolish because they would not believe the truth. The flesh cannot produce the love and perfection of God that is within you by the Spirit. You are a spiritual being. No longer of the flesh. You are now justified; an heir of God and joint-heir with Christ; a new creation; you are righteous; part of the royal priesthood and a holy nation; the repository of His Spirit and you are sanctified. You can't add anything to the finished work of Christ. The flesh is not sanctified. Our hope of becoming like Jesus is in our understanding that we are already like Him. You are saved by grace. We all need revival which is renewal of life and growing in the understanding of grace. Adam was told not to eat of the tree of "Knowledge Of Good And Evil." Satan beguiled and persuaded Eve to eat of the tree. Sin then passed on to all humankind. But the grace of God delivers you from the bondage, penalty and darkness of sin. The more mature you are in Christ, the more you know His will for you. In Ephesians 4:13-14, we see that grace motivates you to be like Jesus. When you preach, you must give good news rather than good advice. The Gospel is the good news of the finished work of Christ. John 10:10 shows, the grace of God which changes you.
Romans 5:12-17, shows how sin entered the world by one man. Sin then passed on to all mankind. It is through Jesus Christ, the gift to the world that you are justified by His blood. You are of the Heavenly Kingdom. You reign in life through your position and understanding of who you are. You cannot add anything to the finished work of Christ. You must have the mindset of Christ and have a heart like Christ. Your whole demeanor and character should be Christ-like. You must always speak words that edify and exhort others.
Know that the kingdom of God requires everyone of us to bear fruits. And before we can bear fruits, we must be able to sow seed. And seed are of different categories.. It can be in cash, resources, materials, availability of thyself, or reaching out to the poor, reaching out to the lost soul.
The seed of evangelism (reaching out to the lost soul). We are so endowed with technology nowadays in such a way that the world has become a global state in which we could easily connect with each other from different angles of life. Which also gives us the privilege of extending our messages / faith unto others within and outside our geographical location.
To cut the story short. We have the privilege of winning souls every day even though we aren't pastor. And don't forget the task wasn't given to pastor, evangelist, apostle alone.. It is given to every believer to go outside their own personal comfort zone and win a soul unto the lord. The holy spirit once taught me that easiest way for the gospel to spread faster is for us make the gospel a networking. In which a single participant (Mr. A) which is a beneficiary of the kingdom, should invest/ bring in another single participant (Mr B) to invest on the kingdom business and teach (Mr B) what it takes to be a member and the benefit attached to it and (Mr B) after being invited also invest on (Mr C) and (Mr C) does the same to (Mr D) and it will keep on spreading like a virus. Same way the virus is being shared. It invest itself In a single person and a single person transfer it to another single person, and it keeps spreading wide.
Which means every believer should focus the Gospel unto one (1) single soul and the one (1) single soul also share it to another one (1) single soul till it reach everywhere.
That is also the law of multiplication by God. He created a single kinds of every being and he gave every being the ability(duty) of multiplying and bringing another one of its kind.
Now let me relate them to us as a member.. Even though you are not gifted with writing or cannot teach, yet, you should be able to share Tracts to others.
As a worker of this great group, you are being blessed daily by writeups in the group and also by teachings on the group which are centered on equipping you and giving you more insight for the mission ahead and you can participate in the evangelism by sharing every write up from the group or teachings related to Christ from the group to a minimum of 5 souls every day. Am sure majority of us are in many groups on WhatsApp and has many friends and family on whatsapp, we also have many friends on Facebook, twitter etc.. Why not be a blessing unto them by sharing the Gospel to them. Even though you are not the writer of the message but you are the one that shared the message (Gospel) across to them and if any soul is being won, it is won through you.
We can see it like this, we are not the one who wrote the Bible but if any soul is won through the Bible, it is through us that the soul is being won not by the writers alone. and we should have the understanding that the writers of the message(Gospel) is inspired by the holy spirit which means it is the Holy spirit at work in winning soul through you.
We can also see it like this. God has said it in his word, It is more blessed to give than to receive. God who said so, knows that he is the one that will provide the things for the giver to give out, and he is expecting every giver of what he gave out to give out unto another person who will also give unto another giver not only for their own benefit /consumption alone but for others to be a part taker. We can also learn from our Lord Jesus. He invested so much on 12 and the 12 yield more increase at the later end.
