Fire Scripture:
Acts 3:1-10
1 One day Peter and John went to the Temple area. It was three o’clock in the afternoon, which was the time for the daily Temple prayer service. 2 As they were entering the Temple area, a man was there who had been crippled all his life. He was being carried by some friends who brought him to the Temple every day. They put him by one of the gates outside the Temple. It was called Beautiful Gate. There he begged for money from the people going to the Temple. 3 That day he saw Peter and John going into the Temple area. He asked them for money.
4 Peter and John looked at the crippled man and said, “Look at us!” 5 He looked at them; he thought they would give him some money. 6 But Peter said, “I don’t have any silver or gold, but I do have something else I can give you. By the power of Jesus Christ from Nazareth—stand up and walk!”
7 Then Peter took the man’s right hand and lifted him up. Immediately his feet and legs became strong. 8 He jumped up, stood on his feet, and began to walk. He went into the Temple area with them. He was walking and jumping and praising God. 9-10 All the people recognized him. They knew he was the crippled man who always sat by the Beautiful Gate to beg for money. Now they saw this same man walking and praising God. They were amazed. They did not understand how this could happen.
MFM DAILY DEVOTIONAL 13TH JULY 2023 MESSAGE:
When Jesus called His disciples, He didn’t say to them, “Follow me; I will make you Archbishops, nor Superintendents, nor Most Senior Apostles.” He said He would make them fishers of men. Matthew 4:19 says, “And He said unto them, follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.”
Evangelism is not an afterthought. It is a channel of becoming a disciple. This year, I encourage you to aspire to spiritual growth by ensuring you talk to someone about Christ daily. Acts 1:8 says, “But you shall receive power after the Holy Ghost has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.” Many professing Christians do not know that God has a purpose for their lives. Real Christians are created in Christ Jesus for good works, not saved so they can stay home or work on Sunday. One of their good works is to preach Jesus (Ephesians 2:10).
Acquiring the power of the Holy Spirit is useless when you are not putting it into proper use, and one of the uses of God’s power is to witness to others.
Do you want to grow as a Christian? Do you want your spiritual level to change? Do you want to be closer to God and live above sin? Then ensure you talk to someone about Christ every day.
Your participation in evangelism can be through sharing tracts, groaning in prayer for lost souls, and supporting missions and evangelism with your resources. Ensure you participate in all evangelism activities that may be introduced by your church this year.
Beloved, don’t miss the opportunity to make heaven happy and the reward attached to it. In Luke 15:7, Jesus said, “I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.”
As you make evangelism your priority this year, I pray that the Lord will beautify your life with signs and wonders, in the Name of Jesus.
