Spirit-Living Devotional
Apostle Osborn
EACH ONE, REACH ONE
[[Act 11:21]] KJV And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord.
During the persecution of the Early Church, the disciples went everywhere, preaching the gospel of Jesus. The sticking thing about this is the fact that our opening text says, “The hand of the Lord was with them all.”
This shows us two very important things: first, GOD’S HAND IS WITH US WHEN WE REACH OUT TO PREACH THE GOSPEL TO OTHERS. Soul wining is God’s number job. He endorses evangelism anytime we take the initiative. This is God’s heartbeat – to reach everyone with the gospel. Anytime we step out to preach the gospel, God’s hand goes with us; He gets involved.
Like the Apostles of old, the Bible says, “And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen” *(Mar 16:20). God worked with them. Glory to God! The soul winner is a CO-WORKER WITH GOD Himself.
The second thing is the fact that THE HAND OF THE LORD IS ACTUALLY THE POWER OF GOD. God’s power is trapped in soul winning. In our ministry, we have seen more miracles and the demonstration of God’s power in our outreaches more than any other event. God’s power is manifested when we step out boldly to preach the gospel. This is the only way we can reach the whole world with the gospel; when we ALL step out to preach the gospel to ALL.
Today, allow God’s word to challenge you to reach a soul with the gospel. Preaching is not for some selected few. We all have the mandate to reach our world. EACH ONE, REACH ONE: This is the way of the Master. So answer the call! Step out with boldness and reach a soul today. Someone is counting on your obedience to be saved.
Prayer:
Dear God, I thank you for your word today. I am inspired to reach a soul today. I receive the grace that makes soul wining easier, and I step out with boldness to preach the gospel in Jesus’ name.
