Have you ever thought about witnessing to any of your friends?
Are you afraid they will laugh? Or are you afraid they will get mad?
Just think of it this way:
One day there was a guy who was standing on the edge of a cliff. Also on the
cliff were little birds. The birds kept walking until they fell over the edge.
"Didn't those birds see that they were about to walk off the edge?" thought the guy.
Suddenly, he heard a voice. God spoke to the guy telling him that the birds resembled
all of his friends. Every time a bird fell over the edge, it resembled one of the guy's
friends falling spiritually. God told the guy that he was responsible for every bird
that was on the cliff, even the ones that fell over the edge.
We are just like that guy. Every time we see someone we know fall spiritually
we are responsible to tell them about Christ.
When you witness to others, keep the focus on Jesus. He is the one who died for you.
Always be honest. Also, always be friendly. Don't ever attack anyone, just get out there
and let God speak through you.
This now brings us to the book of Exodus.
Moses thought that he wasn't good enough to do the job God gave him to free the Hebrews.
Moses said to God, " What if they do not believe me or listen to me..." ( Exodus 4:1 )
God told him, "You shall speak to him and put words in his mouth; I will help both of you
speak and will teach you what to do." ( Exodus 4:15 )
That's right! God will always be with you and help you in whatever you do. Just give Him
a quick prayer for you to have the strength.
You may not get a person to become a Christian the first time you talk to them, but
at least you would have planted the seed.
" Do not worry about what to say ot how to say it. At that time you will be given
what to say, for it will not be you speaking, but the spirit of your Father speaking
through you. " Matthew 10:19-20 |
