From the book BELIEVERS in ACTION by
Dr. T.L. Osborn
A GROUP OF Christian women gathered
at their prayer meeting. Their guest speaker was an enthusiastic soulwinner. He
overheard them discussing disreputable women in their neighborhood so he asked:
“what are you doing to show the love of Christ to that lady?”
The group leader spoke up, “We’re
praying for her salvation every time we meet.”
“Fine,” the evangelist remarked. “But
she’ll go to hell if all you do is pray. Have you visited her? Have you shown
God’s love to her? Have you gone to visit her in her home?”
Christians often seem to want God’s
Spirit to carry the message of His love to lost and hurting people. But
believers are the ones to share the gospel. Church members spend much of their
prayer time urging God to do all of the things that He chose them to
do-visiting the poor and needy, comforting the feeble, blessing and providing
for the destitute, encouraging those in prison, sustaining the week, witnessing
to unbelievers, etc.
How can God’s Spirit communicate His
message to human person without a Christian to express Himself though? What can
Jesus Christ do in any town or community without a body to function through?...........
Act 1:8 But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth."
Mat 5:16 In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.
Mar 16:19 So then, after the Lord had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.
Mar 16:20 And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen.
