*DAILY DEW 15/DECEMBER/2022* *Practical Hints For Evangelism & Missions* (I) _Key Bible Text:_ *"And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life."* (John 3:14-15 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ _The loss of interest in missions and evangelism_ There appears to be a general loss of interest in the body of Christ on the subject and practice of missions and evangelism. A lot of believers are keen to do a whole lot things, but not evangelism talk less of missions. This is not normal. This loss of interest and zeal in missions and evangelism is nothing but a clear sign of the last days. In the first Apostolic church as witnessed and read from scriptures, it was clear that all believers were indeed candidates of missions and evangelism. The practice of witnessing for Christ (missions & evangelism) among every member of the church, was so prevalent that the first martyr, Stephen, wasn't even a member of the 12 man apostles of Jesus! This is surely a call for every believer to redefine their role in the church and as members of the body of Christ. There is a clear need for every believer to rediscover for their own selves the practice of missions and evangelism. _The necessity of missions and evangelism_ Moses was never going to have a fighting chance to save the day, if he didn't carry out the simple instructions given to him by God: *"Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD, and against thee; pray unto the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people."* *"And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live."* Numbers 21:7-8 (KJV) If Moses couldn't save the day if he hadn't obeyed God to lift up the serpent on a pole in the wilderness, even so shall will not save the day, or rather win souls if we do not lift up Jesus before the face of men through Preaching the Gospel (evangelism) And reaching out to the unreached (missions). Evangelism and missions is the way by which we lift Jesus up, for men to hear, see, believe and be saved. Jesus already died on the cross, but untold millions still go into eternity without even being shown the cross of Christ. Who is to blame? Every believer that fails to lift Jesus up through evangelism and missions. _MEDITATION:_ *""Any church (or member of the church) that is not seriously involved in helping fulfill the Great Commission has forfeited its biblical right to exist." — Oswald J.
