THE URGENCY OF EVANGELISATION

The 2 most important subjects in the Bible are:

1st – Evangelising;
2 – Making Disciples;

Whoever practises these 2 truths, not only will the church grow, but there will also be victory in their personal lives.

The end of the world is already upon us. We are living through apocalyptic events. All people die and go to heaven or hell depending on their decision here on earth.

To accept the Plan of Salvation and escape Hell, there is only one solution – Jesus Christ.

The person has to accept Jesus as:

1st – Saviour – Accept the work of Substitution;
2nd – Lord – Accept the conditions for entering the Kingdom of God;

THE CALL OF THE BELIEVER

Both the Pastor and the believer have tasks that they must fulfil in order to please God and save people – Ephesians 4:11&12

The believer’s calling is to do God’s work;

The pastor’s calling is to train the brothers and sisters to do God’s work themselves.

According to the Bible:

1st – God calls people to be Apostles, Pastors, etc;
2nd – To train the saints = brothers;

It is up to the Pastor to teach the brothers to do God’s work: evangelise, make disciples, minister with music, intercede;

Serving God is not an option, but a condition for Salvation;

Every Christian has a journey to make:

1st – Converted
2nd – Disciple;
3rd – Servant;

EVANGELISING

Evangelising is explaining: the good news = there is a solution, and what God’s plan is to save mankind.

Evangelising involves 3 people:

1st – the believer who is going to evangelise = sowing seeds of salvation;
2nd – the person who is not yet saved = receiving the seeds of salvation;
3rd – the Holy Spirit = convincing people of the truth;

Evangelising means sowing seeds of salvation in people’s hearts – Mark 4:14;

We must use different evangelisation strategies to win over as many people as possible – street evangelism, crusades, personal evangelism, etc.

5/15 LIST AND ACTS 2:42

The 5/15 List consists of a list of 5 to 15 people for whom you are going to fight until people are converted and should always be accompanied by Acts 2:42 where you do 4 things:

1st – Word;
2nd – Prayer;
3rd – Communion;
4th – Breaking of Bread;

The enemy will attack, trying to keep people away from the church, from God and from the word, so we must accompany people and intercede for them.

Many people preach a rosy gospel, where you can do anything, but there is no such gospel, because salvation is free, but there is a price, conditions imposed by God.

God warns 3 types of people:

– unbelievers;
– believers;
– ministers of God;
