TELLING OTHERS

MEMORISE: 'And they went forth, and preached everywhere, The Lord working with them, and confirming the word With signs following. Amen.' (Mark 16: 20)
READ: Mark 16:14-20

'And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.' (Mark 16:20). The Lord Jesus came to this world to save mankind. He paid the debt we owed in the slave market of Satan and obtained the receipt. His blood was shed and his life was given in place of ours. Unfortunately, many people do not know this. Many have not heard. Among those who have heard, most do not understand.

Many do not know that they should no longer be slaves to sin. They do not know that they can now live a righteous life before God. Many do not know that Jesus Christ has delivered them from all their enemies and henceforth they should not live in dread, but occupy the exalted position of dominion in him. Many do not know he has paid the price of the sickness, poverty and curses they are still carrying. Many do not know Jesus has freed them from the accidents, death and destruction Satan has programmed against their lives. If they remain ignorant, they will be destroyed.

That is where you come in. you already know all this. You have tasted and seen that the Lord is good. You are a testimony. This is why Jesus commands you to go and tell those around you in your family (extended and nuclear), your colleagues at school or work and others in your neighborhood.

In the reading, as the disciples went about preaching, the Lord was with them in Spirit. His Holy Spirit backed them up and signs and wonders began to flow. Many Christians want the anointing, signs and miracles to follow them. All they do is fast and pray. They refuse to go out and preach. That is the true source of power. People have asked me the source of my power and I tell them it is soul winning. Each soul you win for the Lord generates a measure of anointing for you.

As you go out to tell people about Jesus, God will see to your affairs. You will soon see those things you have been struggling for coming effortlessly to you.
