*DAILY DEW 20/DECEMBER/2022* *Practical Hints For Evangelism & Missions* (IV) _Key Bible Text:_ *"The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep."* (John 10:10-11 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ As we continue to reflect on practical hints for missions and evangelism, the following should be emphasized. _4. Be aware of the devil's goal to keep men lost:_ Those who do not believe and receive Jesus are "not okay". They may look okay, be comfortable, have more money than you, be more famous etc but they are not okay-- they are lost! How can someone whom the devil has kept captive and bound, be okay? YOU MUST BE CONVINCED ABOUT THIS! Otherwise, your evangelism and missions awareness will remain lame and weak! 2 Cor. 4:4 & Ephesians 4:17-18 says that the Devil, who is the god of this world, has blinded them, and darkened their understanding, which is why they don't believe and receive Jesus! How can anyone who is blind (spiritually) be okay? If you still think that unbelievers are okay or act that way, then you are not okay! Or are you? _5. Be aware of God's goal to get men saved._ You must be fully aware and fully invested in God's plan to get men saved! The devil strives to keep men lost, Jesus strives to get men saved! On whose side are you? John 10:10 & 2 Cor. 4:6 are clear: Jesus came to give life, and to shine light upon men, so that every darkness holding men bound, can be destroyed! As you reflect on your role in Missions & Evangelism, you must see that every effort made in this direction, automatically aligns you to God & Christlikeness! _MEDITATION:_ *"The Lord is not slow to do what he has promised, as some think. Instead, he is patient with you, because he does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants all to turn away from their sins."* (2 Peter 3:9 (GNB)) *#David_Joshua_Egbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_DECEMBER* ❤ Links To Visit: *Register4HTP2022:* https://bit.ly/HTP2022_ACTIVATED *FB Pages* https://www.facebook.com/DavidJoshuaEgbochuo/ https://www.facebook.com/thedavidgen/ https://www.facebook.com/THEREVIVALCORPS/ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.
