NEVER BE ASHAMED TO TELL OTHERS

2 Tim 1:8 So never be ashamed to tell others about our Lord... NLT

Years back, I saw a man( an Islamic cleric) in the bus who taught about the subject of marriage. He taught about the different types of people no one should marry. Indirectly, I knew he only used that message to gain the attention of his listeners because he was out there propagating Islam without fear or shame. At other times, I have met traditionalists in the bus selling their charms and promoting the devil shamelessly. I'm so sure that they'll be promoting their beliefs when they meet people one-on-one not only when they're faced with a crowd.

The message of the gospel is the greatest message and that's the need of the hour globally. You should not be ashamed to tell your friends, families, neighbours and customers about the good news of our Lord Jesus Christ. No one loves to break bad news. I noticed that it takes tact to tell someone about a sad event but no-holds-barred when sharing about moving to a new house, buying a new car or announcing wedding plans. Sharing such is delightsome. Who doesn't like to hear good news?

The wonders of redemption is much more than those things. No other news beats the message of eternal life, justification, atonement and all that Christ did for us on the cross. Hallelujah!!! It is sweet to tell. The Apostles of old preached this message everywhere without fear, they were jailed for it and most of them died for this gospel message because they were convinced about it as a message worth sharing. I want to implore you not to be ashamed of sharing the goodnews of our Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus said, "For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels."( Luke 9:26).

Action point

CONFESSION: Father, I remove every toga of shame from my life. Henceforth, I am a mobile evangelist, I receive the grace to share the gospel wherever I go in Jesus name.
