7 Reasons Why The Church Must Witness

Jesus Christ is the founder of the Church. The Church was bought and redeemed with His blood and the main aim of the Church is to be like JESUS!
The Church is not a building to be beheld but the body of believers who have accepted Jesus as Lord and Saviour and in whom the Holy Spirit dwells. The Church has been called to be like Jesus, who in his earthly ministry proclaimed the Gospel of the kingdom of God, and had many signs and wonders following His ministry that many people believed in His name. Those who believed, He gave them power to become children of God (See John 1:12).
Every Christian has been called to witness about Christ - in fact it is one of the most basic and important responsibilities of every Christian.
Why must the Church witness about Christ? What is the importance of telling others about Jesus?
Let's find 7 reasons why the CHURCH must witness in:
John 3:19 KJV
"And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil"
1. There is darkness (SIN) in the World.
2. There is LIGHT (JESUS) in the World.
3. There is a condemnation (ETERNAL DAMNATION / HELL) to those who do not believe the LIGHT).
4. Men love darkness rather than LIGHT. They rejected the LIGHT.
5. The deeds of men are evil.
6. There is ETERNAL LIFE to those who believe in the LIGHT.
7. God's heartbeat is for all to be saved and have eternal life (John 3:16).
BONUS
*° It is a command!
Matthew 28:18-20 KJV
And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. [19] Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: [20] Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
It is our responsibility to draw the nations of the World to the LIGHT and we NEED to ACT NOW. It is our major assignment. Get up and go forth. There is a lot of work to be done!
The CHURCH is called to witness!

Borne up in Prayer!

Lu 22:31-32
31 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:
32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.
Praying for others is very important. It helps them to stand in the midst of difficulties, especially when the devil and the  storms if life try their faith, loyalty, and devotion to God. A prayer for them helps them stand firm and strong.
Whenever a friend's name pops into your head, it is God reminding you to pray for that person.
Jesus prayed for Peter, who have you prayed for?
Pray for someone today even as someone prays for you too! God bless you.

The Introduction

THE INTRODUCTION

"And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM:" Exodus 3:14
Asamoah Gyan hugging Ghana Black Stars Manager - Akwasi Appiah after scoring a goal.
Have you seen that Melcom advert on TV with Asamoah Gyan and the little girl?
In that advert, Asamoah Gyan, the captain of the Ghana Black Stars went into a shopping mall and met a little girl who was wearing a jersey with Asamoah Gyan's name on and watching a football match the Black stars had played previously. Impressed, Asamoah stands behind her and asks "do you like Asamoah Gyan?". Without looking back, she nodded in the affirmative. Asamoah Gyan then said to her "I am ASAMOAH GYAN." Surprised, the girl looks back and refuses to accept no matter how many times Asamoah Gyan proved himself in every means possible.
Let me share with you  what the Holy Spirit has been showing me concerning that advert.
Like the little girl we behold in awe the magnificence of God which seems unreachable, then God himself presents himself to us as Jesus. He asks us, 'do you like God ' , and we go like yes we do, then He exclaims with honour 'I am God' , but that truth seems to us too good to be true. He goes ahead and proves Himself several times to be God, yet we respond like the little girl with a rather cynical look...but in all these I hope we won't wait till Judgement day to find out that Jesus is God with us men, unlike the little girl it's an advert but on Judgment day it would be real. Even on that day Jesus would still be worried about losing those who did not believe, yet it would be their fault not His, because He was always there.
Think about this carefully, God bless you.
