When we partake of the Divine nature of Christ, we become empowered to become witnesses for Christ. Similarly, when we receive baptism in the Holy Ghost, we are only plugged in to be more efficient and effective witnesses of the Lord Jesus.When we go out to witness, we ought to do so in all confidence because He who we are witnesses of, has all authority in not only heaven, but on earth too. In addition to all this, He promised to be with us until the end of time.
Faith comes by hearing and hearing the word of God. This should be move motivation to witness and proclaim the word of God to His people' because, they will gain knowledge about this Faith, and consequently accept God's love through faith in Christ Jesus.
1 Tim. 2:3-4 - God wants all men to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. That is His plan.
Rom.10:10-14- When we proclaim the gospel, people will hear, they will then believe, accept and confess Christ as their saviour and Lord.
Matt. 28:18-20 - This is our calling, to make others be what we have become: It is God's Spirit that empowers us to do all this.
We were not only sent and empowered but also have been given an assurance of Gods presence. This should give us zeal to reach-out and proclaim the gospel.
Col.4:5- Be wise. Use every opportunity to be a witness in not only in what you say, but what you are as well. (your lifestyle). One day what you witness will materialise in the lives of those whom you have witnessed to, for the word of God does not return to Him void.
