1 Overcome Your Obstacles And Weakness On Evangelism
I observed that many brethren still finds it so difficult to preach the gospel. They face with issue of fear and shame. But am wondering, how can a believer whom the Lord had called from darkness into the marvelous light of Christ, still lives under the shadow of fear and shame of the gospel. However, some have the zeal and determine for the task, but find it difficult to execute the task. Some even find it very hard to preach early in the morning which is called “EARLY MORNING CRY”
The period when many are still in their bed, but only few are seen rushing to their various business and place of work. And yet during this period of about 5 am-6 am, when people were unable to see the face of one another, and some still in their bed. My brethren still encounter the challenge of not knowing how-to-preach the gospel. What can be the major problem behind this unfortunate scenario, FEAR, SHAME OR WHAT? how can it be overcome them?

Guidelines And principle To Start Preaching The Gospel Of Christ From Crash
- To preach the gospel of Christ, you need to be born again. Merely Going to church doesn’t qualify or made you a christian. Born again simple means, dropping-off the old Adamic nature of sin, been watched and made whole and also been baptized by immersion in water.
- Your christian life style must be genuine, different and also possess the good qualities of gift of the holy-ghost, such as humility, brokenness, meekness, emptiness, love, peace and heavenly mindset.
- You need to pull-out from the people of the world. Let them see a new YOU. Commitment unto Church activities and service, Prayers meeting, bible studies and Night vigil at-lest once a week.
- Romans 10:10, ” By the heart a man believe unto righteousness and by mouth a confession is made unto salvation. This simply means, serving God, isn’t only biased in your inward appearance, such as humility, love, giving, faithfulness, meekness etc. But also your outward appearance. The scripture said, your body is the temple of God. And those that must serve him, must present their as holy sacrifice before the Lord. For these reason, you need to screen and search your outward appearance and make sure it comply with God’s commandment. Does your mode of dressing, seem alike or different with the people of the world. Are you still into makes-up, putting earrings, attachment, Jerry coil, painting of the nails, eyes fixing, ornaments, jewelries, bangles, sagging, worldly hair-cut, man wearing skirt and blouse or woman wearing trouser, tattoo, smoking, drinking alcoholic. Working in brewery, female working in salons, using bleaching cream, man having two wives, woman been the second wife or dowry not paid, Undone Restitution or not yet return those stolen properties before been converted as christian, The un-confessed abortion, prostitution, womanizing and Adultery to fellow spouse etc.

Although many pastor may opposed and cherish this abominations mention above and deceived you that IT DOESN’T MATTER. My dear brethren IT DOES!. Because while preaching, people will tend to monitor your movement and previous life style. And if any of above life style is still dwelling in you, IT WILL HINDER THE HOLY SPIRIT FROM POSSESSING YOUR SPIRITUAL LIFE WHILE PREACHING. And that well be disaster.

After all of the above has been amended. Here comes the final moment to explode and do the work of an evangelize, “Mark 16:15” While attending those church activities, be very attentive and made your writing material available.

Moreover, preaching and sharing of the gospel is the only source of joy and happiness i always drives in this wicked world. The world is already in chaos and iniquities has abound everywhere.
