Evangelism 2
Bible Study: Evangelism 2
Aim:
To make everyone fulfil the main instruction and purpose in Christ
Memory verse:
Mar 16:15 - 18 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
Introduction:
What is the Gospel? What has it got to do with me? I have been told that in this country everyone minds his own business so who do I obey? How do you communicate it to people who do not know about it? Do Christians know, understand and can communicate the Gospel? What is the difference between the gospel and other religions?
What are the benefits of being a Christian
I know the lord my creator, can speak to him and have direct access to him through the Lord Jesus Christ
I am now a citizen of heaven and will live forever
I will become natural for me to think and do Good and shy away from Evil
I am not alone, lonely, depressed, confused, dejected anymore.
I am not controlled by situations and circumstances but actually control them.
I am not controlled by alcohol, drugs, evil friends, peer pressure, boredom,
I am delivered from the powers of satan and eternal hellfire
I have Divine health and not dominated by sickness and disease.
God will meet my need and I will not be poor.
I can pray and get answers
characteristics do I need to have to preach the gospel.
When you preach the gospel, you are an evangelist
You must know the word of God
Be very flexible and communicate freely
Be very friendly not moody
Ever smiling never frowning
Be able to accept rejection without offence
Never offended never angry
No inferiority complex but rejoicing always
See every opportunity to as a Gospel opportunity
Speak with confidence
Have ready answers to every question
What scriptures do I need to memorise
What is the general process of leading someone to Christ
One of the most important aspects of Christianity is PRAYER but it is also the most difficult area where many doctrines have evolved. Some people believe that only specific people (prophet, pastors) need to pray because they have a direct line to God. Christians have commercialised, contracted out, diversified and merchandised prayer. But is prayer really that difficult to understand? Come with me as we study and understand what prayer is.
What is prayer and why do we need to pray Lk 18:1, Lk 22:46, 21:36
How do we pray? Lk 11:1, 1Co 14:14-15, Rom 8:26
when do we pray 1Th 5:17, Col 1:9, 1 Tim 2:8,
What are the modes of prayer,
Praise & Worship Ps 138:2, 29:2, 95:6, 5:7
What is thanksgiving? Lev 22:29, Ps 50:14, 69:30, 100:4, 107:22
What is supplication? Ps 30:8, Ps 142:1, Eph 6:18, Php 4:6 Dan 9:20
What is intercession? Rom 8:26-27,34
How does prayer work? Mar 11:24, Heb 11:6
Does God really answer all prayers? How?
If the answer to the above question is yes, why am I not getting results? Is there something I need to know?
What are the things that can hinder our prayers and results?
How does Satan hinder our prayers and results?
In conclusion:
We have seen that
Prayer is our mode of communication with the almighty
Prayer is very technical and we need to understand it in order to use and get the benefits therein.
Next Week
We will discuss satanic hindrance to prayer and the solution provided by God.
Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
