THE NEWS OF HIS SAVING POWER
Send us around the world with the news of your saving power
and your eternal plan for all mankind (Psalm 67:2 TLB).
The Lord Jesus, in Mark 16:15, said, “…Go ye
into all the world, and preach the gospel to
every creature.” He commissioned us to preach the
good news of God’s Kingdom, and God’s eternal plan
for all humanity. Our responsibility, as preachers of
righteousness, is the greatest honour and privilege on
the face of the earth. We’re bearers of the news of His
saving power; dispensers of eternal verities.
This was something the likes of David, the prophet
of God, contemplated and wished to be a part of,
hence his inspiring words in our opening verse. All
he had was the promissory note of salvation, yet he
was so inspired and excited, and wished he could go
around the world to herald this great news of God’s
saving power.
As new creations, and being in the world at a time
when what David admired and looked forward to has
been fulfilled, how could we be quiet? Jeremiah said,
“…But his word was in mine heart as a burning fire
shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing,
and I could not stay” (Jeremiah 20:9).
Make your life count with God by making an impact with
the Gospel; be committed to soul winning.
A very important evidence of the presence of the
Holy Spirit in your life is dynamic evangelism! In Acts
1:8, Jesus said, “But ye shall receive power, after that
the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be
witnesses unto me….” You can’t claim that God saved
you, and not tell others about it. Don’t keep quiet;
preach the Gospel everywhere.
The Bible says the Gospel is the power of God
unto salvation to everyone that believes (Romans
1:16), and you’re the bearer of the message. The power
won’t work except the message is preached. Therefore,
be faithful in your responsibility as a soul winner.
Prayer
Righteous Father, I’m so grateful for your boundless
blessings in my life. Thank you for the power of the
Spirit that’s at work in me to effectively minister
the Gospel to those in my world, and in the regions
beyond. Your grace is released even now for hearts
to be touched, and converted by the news of your
saving power, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
