WHY YOU HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO EVANGELIZE
(2 Timothy 1:7 KJV)
“For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind”.
It has always been a mystery why believers will remain unfruitful despite all the instructions from the Lord to witness and win souls. Even after all the blessings attached to winning souls, people still find it so hard to evangelize souls into the kingdom of God. One of the reasons for this anomaly is fear and timidity.
Paul had to encourage Timothy to know that God had not given us the spirit of fear, timidity and cowardice. God’s spirit in us intends to help us improve our self esteem and confidence. Fear will make you run from what is not there, fear will torment you. Fear will make you feel less than who you are and what you are. Fear will make you look down on yourself, and that would eventually ruin your message.
Kill that fear and timidity today! Re-evaluate yourself, acknowledge all that is in you because of Jesus and let it fill your heart with boldness and audacity. Understand that you carry what the world is desperately in need of, even though they don’t know it yet. Look at the mirror and talk to yourself endlessly. Refuse to be a grasshopper in your own eyes; Your Father says you are a king and a priest at the same time, angels envy you every day, asking “what is man”? Now they know that you are the superior one, the unbelievers are intimidated at your presence and because of your relationship with God. Receive all the boldness and confidence you require from today in Jesus Name.
