If we claim to love God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength then it should not be a problem to ‘SHARE OUR FAITH’ and yet we find that really that is the most difficult thing to do in today’s culture!
There is POWER in the believer who really gives over their life to God! God will put inside that person a burning desire to SHARE Him with others! It is our instruction in the Bible!
Matthew 28:19-20 “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
God’s Hope and Promise is that we go out and TEACH others to be disciples with us and that He WILL NEVER LEAVE US while we are doing it!
The activation of Jesus in our lives means that we are going to put into ACTION what we know to be true! Sharing the Gospel with others is the end result of that ACTION!
When was the last time we shared Jesus with someone? Can we remember or has it been that long!
Our hearts should long to go out and do just exactly what that Scripture verse tells us to do!
We have nothing to fear but the fear itself! Jesus says very plainly in the verse above that He is with us always. He is not leaving us for a second; it is our fear that makes us not believe! It is our own fear that keeps us from sharing the Gift of Jesus with others.
Here are some ways to help us know where we are at in the value of ‘Sharing Jesus’ with others:
† Wisdom ~ Why would we lead others to Christ? When we are following Jesus and have activated Him in our lives, He gives us the wisdom to see that we SHOULD win others to Him! Proverbs 11:30
† Weakness ~ Do we let our weaknesses rule our faith? A ‘weakness’ is whatever is keeping us from believing in the POWER of Christ. Jesus can OVERCOME any weakness we may have. It is that very weakness that we can go and talk to others about! Jesus will give us POWER to go and share with others what He has done for us and how He helped us overcome it! 2 Corinthians 12:9
† Wrestling ~ Do we use our armor to protect us or to SEND us? Wrestling is the battlefield of sharing faith with others! Every time you share your faith with others you are going into battle and you need to be clothed with the armor of God! When God has clothed us with His armor He is standing right beside us in the battle! Ephesians 6:11-20
† Watch ~ Are we a lookout asleep on the wall or are we ALWAYS on our watch ready to share our faith? God commands that we share our faith and that if we don’t we will be accountable for it! Ezekiel 33:6
† Willing ~ Are we willing to allow others to go to Hell? Being a ‘willing vessel’ is our attitude in sharing our faith. We should ALWAYS be willing to share because we never know who might need to hear! God is patient with us and because His desire is that none perish without Him; He will give us a willing heart to share! 2 Peter 3:9
† Works ~ Works is the fruit of our love to the Lord! If we have fully activated Jesus in our lives then the fruit of that will show! James 2:16-17
† Witness ~ Is our life as a Christian worth sharing with others? Our witness IS our lifestyle and others will see it if we are living and sharing it. Once we are filled with God’s Power we are activated to begin sharing Him. It is a command of God. ALL people will know Him and we are a part of that GREAT COMMAND! Acts 1:8
When Jesus is ACTIVATED in our lives – we can’t help but be who He called us to be! It should be evident to all that the LOVE of CHRIST lives inside of us! Do you desire to share Him with all people? It is our duty as believers to share Jesus with others. Live out His promise to others; I KNOW that it will change us!
