THE MIND OF THE EVANGELIST

In obedience to the clarion call to go into the world to seek out the uninformed and the damned; the afflicted and despairing souls; those in hellish chains and bondage; battered , suppressed and oppressed people who, willingly or ignorantly, serve satan, the disciple must prepare himself with the armour of God, the love of humankind and the zeal to depopulate satanic kingdom and win souls for the kingdom of God. The disciple must understand that hurdles will be erected by antagonistic forces to suppress him through different forms of deprivations such as imprisonment, torture and even death.
The task of evangelism is made more tolerable when the disciple has the heart of a servant who faithfully obeys the commandments of his Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Luke 14:25-26
25.Large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and turning to them he said;
26.” If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters – yes, even his own life -.he cannot be my disciple.

The disciple must study , understand and be controlled through the word of God. He has to be consistent in living the word of God.

John 8:31-32
31.To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples.
32.Then you will know the truth and the truth will set you free.

The disciple who makes disciples in this hostile world ,filled with ” last days” evidence of trauma , must be morally upright and courageous.

1Peter1:15-16
15.But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do;

16. for it is written :”Be holy, because Iam holy.

The disciple has no power of his own. He is fully dependent on what Jesus Christ has given him. He must never seek any other authority. He must never seek to serve God and satan.The disciple must not be ignorant of the wiles of Satan. The disciple must submit himself absolutely to the directives of the Holy Spirit.

John 14:16-17
16.And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever
17.the spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.

The task of evangelism is made easy if the disciple has a heart filled with love for people, irrespective of race, nationality, creed, or status. The disciple must not shy away from fellowship with other pilgrims. He must live a purposeful live of generosity.

I pray that God will continually equip you and you will indeed be fruitful in your service to God and humanity, in Jesus Christ’s name.
