For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for
necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the
gospel! (1 Corinthians 9:16)
The Lord Jesus made a profound statement in
Matthew 5:15, He said, “Neither do men light a
candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and
it giveth light unto all that are in the house.” At the beginning
of the year, the Spirit of God unveiled to us that 2011 is
our year as a burning and a shining light. Thus, we’re all
supposed to burn and shine for the Lord with unquenchable
zeal in manifesting His glory through the preaching of the
Gospel to everyone in our world.
This means you can’t keep quiet. You must do
something with what you’ve heard. Like Paul, necessity
is laid upon you to preach the Gospel. You’ve got to tell
somebody else about the glorious life in Christ. The Bible
says in 2 Corinthians 5:19, “To wit, that God was in Christ,
reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their
trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word
of reconciliation.” This ought to be your motivation for
personal evangelism. This should spur you to go anywhere
and do anything to preach the Gospel.
This was my inspiration many years ago, that made
me go to hamlets, villages, cities, hospitals, schools etc., to
preach the Gospel; and it’s still my motivation today. I’ve
got to tell the untold about Jesus and the extraordinary life
that He has made available to us. The supernatural life that
Don’t Keep Quiet!
He brought didn’t end with His death, burial, resurrection
and ascension to heaven. He’s alive today, and reigns and
rules in the affairs of men. You’ve got to tell it around the
world. Wake up every day with the fire of God burning in
your bones to tell the whole world that Jesus is alive, and He
wants all men saved, well and sound! Let this be a burden
in your heart!
Nothing else in the world should matter to you more
than the preaching of the Gospel. Don’t keep the revelations
of the Gospel that you’ve received to yourself. Tell it
everywhere. Make it known. Many in the world today still
don’t know anything about Jesus. A lot of those who do,
only know the history told them by some theologians, and
not the spirit of it; this is one more reason we must keep
preaching the Gospel, and not be quiet.
