Called To Witness


Hello friends, welcome back; I missed you guys. A few persons comment on the posts and most prefer to comment directly in a conversation with me and I appreciate it all. It’s important to remember that we are not in this walk alone so we do have each other to lean on.

In the same breath of community spirit, we’ll briefly explore witnessing. And when I say witnessing, I’m not referring to a specific denomination; so I’m happy we cleared the air on that one. According to allaboutgod.com, Christian Witnessing is “merely sharing our heartfelt faith in Christ – what he’s personally done to change our individual lives”.

All Christians should be witnesses and not just a selected few. Yes, we are given different gifts of the spirit (which we can talk about another time) but all would have experienced a certain change upon conversion and are required to share it; and you don’t have to be the best speaker, just start where you are. Read the following scriptures http://bit.ly/1Cor2-1. I know it may seem daunting as you can drum up all the objections that persons may have but continue learning and in the time being use yourself as a living testimony to the goodness of God.

To our unsaved friends, I know often times you say Christians are one of the pushiest sets of persons but I ask for your pardon. The thing is, salvation is something that requires action; not good works but being genuinely sorry for your sins, asking for forgiveness, accepting that Jesus died for our sins and taking him as your Lord and personal saviour, getting baptized and receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit. So, us Christians knowing that you cannot be saved by just ‘living good’ and having a ‘clean heart’ and being passive, try with urgency to get you to see the light. None of us know when God will make his appearance again here on earth, so the Kingdom of God is at hand.

Look at it this way, if you received something so marvellous that it changed your life, wouldn’t you want to share it with others, especially those you love? I think the answer to that for most of us is yes. So this is exactly what it’s like to receive Christ.

This blog is one of the media I am using to witness and share my testimonies with you all. I know a lot of persons don’t like to read but for the few that will, I will share. I will also employ other means of sharing what God has been doing in my life. I can tell you that it’s pure joy when you reap fruits of your labour. Recently, three persons close to me dedicated their lives to Christ and I am overjoyed by that and also to know that I influenced them in making that decision.



Friends, I hope that from this brief discussion, you would have gathered what witnessing is, who should be a witness, why witnessing is necessary and how to go about witnessing. So now, Chosen go out there and be a witness for Christ Jesus and win some souls for the kingdom of God.

How Do We Overcome Temptations?

Image
Hello Chosen, welcome back! If you’re new, it’s good to have you J Overcoming temptations is a very interesting topic, if I do say so myself. Allow me to just jog your thoughts a bit. Do you think non-Christians are not tempted? Do you think that new believers have finally escaped and will no longer be tempted? Or mature Christians have passed that stage and will not face temptation? Let’s see if we can answer those questions while we explore the main question that we are trying to answer, How Do We Overcome Temptations? Let us first try to understand what Temptation is before we get to how to overcome it. Bishop Robert Ellis describes temptation as an enticement to do evil or a desire to abstain from doing good. Let me guess, you didn’t expect that second part, did you? Well James 4:17 says “Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is a sin.” http://bit.ly/Jam4-17 . For that reason, we can say in essence that temptation is a pull towards evil or

Testimony Time: How I Came To Christ

Image
Hello there Chosen, so happy to have you with me. I wonder if you’re thinking to yourself why I hadn’t written about this before. If I were you, I’d be thinking that exact thing. Actually, I asked myself why I didn’t. The idea to write my testimony only came to me about a week ago and I was excited about it but somehow didn’t quite get to it until now. However, I trust that it has happened in God’s perfect timing. It took me quite a while to get here. And though I’m not quite a finished product, I’ve been through many iterations. Nonetheless, I can confidently say I am where God wants me to be at this point in my life. I can’t quite cover everything in this article since it has been literally every moment in my life that has culminated and led me to the present but I hope I cover a number of the significant areas. As a child, I grew up with the knowledge of God, as with most children in Jamaica, thankfully. However, my parents weren’t, and still aren’t Christians. They in

When That Co-Worker Relationship Isn’t So Great

Image
Would you look what happened here? We’ve made it to June; bless the Lord! Welcome Chosen friends! I was told I wasn’t quite successful in making the last article not as long. * tears *. So let’s jump right into this one. Throughout our discussion I will make reference to a particular situation I had that’s applicable. All relationships don’t go as smoothly as we had them planned in our minds at inception; assuming that we don’t plan on having any hostile relationships. Speaking specifically about work relations, sometimes tension runs as high as JPS power cables. This is certainly unhealthy; after all, most of us spend most of our lives at work. Great, if majority of our work relationships aren’t like this but what do we do when we find ourselves caught up between the poles of these JPS cables with a co-worker? (Courtesy of: inc.com) I’ll share with you 8 things which I did and now recommend in such a situation: 1.        Perform a Self-Assessment Could I
