The more we seek the Word of God, and pray for the Holy Spirit to teach us God’s wisdom in the scripture, He will begin to use us more. We know God has the power to take a criminal and make him a prophet, and we believe He still does that. As believers we are already there, followers of Christ, now we must learn the Word, so that we can confidently speak of the truth to others, knowing scripture suitable for the moment, and knowing how to pray.
“If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.”
James 1:5 ESV
“but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect,”
1 Peter 3:15 ESV
God will meet you where you are, and he will use the least of us to share His truth to people around us. We must unashamedly embrace the call of evangelism, for God is with us.
“At the same time, pray also for us, that God may open to us a door for the word, to declare the mystery of Christ, on account of which I am in prison — ”
Colossians 4:3 ESV
As Christians, we should not only be ready for any opportunity to share the gospel of Christ, but we should be praying for opportunity to do so. God knows our strengths and weaknesses and He will use us appropriately, either with our strengths or using our weaknesses to help us grow.
Heavenly Father, Creator of all, show me how to be a witness for you. Teach me how to be an outward example of your love, and to show and teach people about your truth. I thank you for making me who I am and using me for your Glory, to spread the Gospel of the Lord. In Jesus’s name, Amen.
“For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands, for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control. Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord, nor of me his prisoner, but share in suffering for the gospel by the power of God, who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began, and which now has been manifested through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel, for which I was appointed a preacher and apostle and teacher, which is why I suffer as I do. But I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed, and I am convinced that he is able to guard until that day what has been entrusted to me.”
2 Timothy 1:6-12 ESV
