Al right, this post I have here prepared is to encourage my fellow Christian friends to have your own testimony about your life in God!
So, the topic is, ''Sharing the word to the lost''
Definition of the 'Lost' : Someone who have not yet come to trust and have faith in Christ.
3 barriers keeping people from reaching out.
1] Spiritual lethargic. Spiritual lethargic means to lose the passion and fire for God. When you do not have the fire for God, you will not want to do anything for God including reaching out for lost and sometimes you will soon be the lost. So, you have to keep your fire burning in your heart for God to be able to bring glory to God!
2] Fear of rejection. This barrier is a very typical reason why people does not reach out. They are afraid of the embarrassment, the unhappiness and the chances of having a strain-er relationship between your friend if he or she rejects you from going to church with you.
3] Lack of practical ' know how' This doesn't needs much explanation on what is this barrier but I'm going to teach how to share the word to the lost.
Al right, you must know sharing testimony is practically equals to preaching of the gospel. But some people might ask, why is it important to share testimony?
One of the most argument on earth regarding Christianity is your encounter of God. One of the reason people don't come to Christ because they don't see what God can do to them so tell them!
How to share testimony? Remember you are not to pick a fight. The sermon is just your life story.
Revelation 12:11 (New King James Version)
11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.
With the blood of Jesus and testimony, no devil shall win!
How to preach and share?
1. Be interesting. You must be able to catch their attention and make it that the listener will be interested to know more about how God have changed your life.
2. Be logical. Some people tends to talk craps when it comes to this. Don't be so illogical saying, for example, you can't find a pen and you pray and God throws a pen on your head. Impossible isn't it?
3. Be specific. You have to be more specific like specific in telling them after you accepted Christ, every good things that changed in your life must be specific. For example, last time I always get into fight and now I don't, must say what comes to my mind and why I stopped fighting and stuffs like that but don't be too naggy.
4. Be practical. If you are a non-Christian and someone trying to share the testimony to you and he says God blesses him with $50000 in just a week when he's a student, you think that would be practical and possible?
5. Be warm and genuine. Being warmth doesn't mean you have to touch the person and make the person feel your physical warmth but smile and let them feel comfortable. Treat them a drink and remember, don't lie about your testimony!
3 steps in sharing testimony.
You must say what happen before, during and after you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour.
So, here's something i wish you all can help God, the lost, yourself and I by typing down your testimony and post it in the haloscan above the CBOX and if you cannot find it, just send me in notepad form or Microsoft Word form. Thank You. God bless.
