Being Faithful to Witness 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bible Verses (RcV) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1 Cor. 9:19  For though I am free from all, I have enslaved 
myself to all that I might gain the more. (22)  ...that I 
might by all means save some.
Acts 26:16  But rise up and stand on your feet; for I have 
appeared to you for this purpose, to appoint you as a 
minister and a witness...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Words of Ministry ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
D.L. Moody was very good at leading men to salvation. He 
once made up his mind to preach the gospel to at least one 
person a day, whether or not he was giving a message on that 
day. One day he went to bed, and then he remembered that he 
had not preached the gospel to anyone yet. What should he 
do? He changed his clothes and went out again to look for 
someone he could speak to. It was already midnight when he 
looked at his watch; the streets were empty. Where could he 
find anyone at such an hour? The only person he could speak 
to was a policeman who was on duty: "You must believe in the 
Lord." The policeman was in a bad mood over something at the 
moment, and he scolded Moody angrily, saying, "Do you not 
have something better to do than persuade me to believe in 
Jesus in the middle of the night?" Moody went home after 
sharing a brief word with him. But the policeman was touched 
by Moody's word. A few days later he visited Moody and was 
saved.

We must uphold the torchlight of the gospel and must light 
everyone around us. Let every Christian go forth to light 
others. The testimony of the gospel needs to go out from us 
until the Lord's return. So many souls before our eyes are 
in need of salvation. We must try our best to testify to 
them and lead them to Christ.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A Prayer ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear Lord Jesus, make me faithful to regularly witness to 
others. Lord, when it seems inconvenient, remind me that 
there is always someone waiting and in need of salvation. 
Train me to look for opportunities to preach the gospel and 
lead others to You. Amen.
