📜LET THE GOSPEL BE YOUR PASSION
📖 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth...(Romans 1:16).
👤PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME DSc DSc. DD.
The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the power of God to save, heal, deliver and transform lives. That’s why it must be a message you understand, live by, and burn with passion to share with others especially as the coming of the Lord draws nearer than we’ve ever known.
Paul the Apostle declared that he was not ashamed of the Gospel. That statement came from a place of deep conviction and unwavering commitment. For him, preaching the Gospel wasn’t optional but life itself. He lived for the Gospel and was willing to die for its advancement.
Read His inspiring and heart-stirring words in Acts 20:22-27, “And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there: Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me. But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God. And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more. Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men. For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God."
In our world today, persecutions are many, and boldness in the Gospel can often be met with criticism, indifference and severe threats. But you must rise above that. Don’t let the fear of rejection or of death silence your voice. Don’t let comfort make you complacent. The world needs Jesus, and the same Gospel that changed your life is their only hope.
Let the Gospel dominate your thoughts, your words, and your pursuits. Make it your ambition to win souls and populate heaven. That’s what truly matters. Every time you share the Gospel, you release divine power that impacts and transforms the lives of your listeners. Even those who pretend not to be listening while you speak or act defiantly to the message will one day succumb to its power as the Word is sown in their hearts. So, preach the Gospel undeterred, for every soul you reach is a victory for eternity.
🙏PRAYER
Precious Father, I thank you for entrusting me with the Gospel. Thank you for your boldness and passion to preach the Gospel in the power and dominion of the Spirit. I seize every opportunity to share your love and truth with others, transforming their lives with the good news of your saving power, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
