Life of someone who has the Gospel Acts 28:30~31 For two whole years Paul stayed there in his own rented house and welcomed all who came to see him. Boldly and without hindrance, he preached the kingdom of God and taught about the Lord Jesus Christ. ♬ Hymn for scheduled worship: Korean/English Hymnal #266 O Now I See the Cleansing Wave (#200 in previous version) There are people who, despite having the Gospel, live like unbelievers. The Gospel is the most valuable mystery of salvation. Many people are anxious and insecure about their futures, and suffer from inexplicable problems because they do not know God. But the Holy Spirit is eternally with those who possess salvation, and will guide them to see God’s plan. With this in mind, how must people who have the Gospel live their lives, and be guided? 1. Enjoy the blessings that have already arrived Many believers completely misunderstand prayer answers. They think that prayer answers are when they are suddenly flush with cash, when they suddenly develop a skill they did not have, or when their wishes are granted. But prayer is not asking for my wildest desires; rather, it is seeking God’s plan in His Word. Meditate on your Sunday pulpit message and discover what God has given to you by His grace through salvation. The Christian walk does not begin with prayer answers that are akin to fantasies coming true. Discovering God’s plan within the given message and enjoying God throughout even the most trivial of meetings and incidents is enjoying the true walk of faith. 2. We need to enjoy blessing of meetings Throughout the day, we have many interactions, no matter how trivial. Speaking ill of others during these brief interludes can sow small seeds of unbelief. Ask God how you can do His work through the interactions you will have today. No matter how brief the meeting may be, God will open the doors of evangelism. Additionally, pray for the disciples in your field and discover the plan God has for your field and region. 3. Enjoy the blessing of saving the field Many people in the field are lost and suffer from curses and disasters without any answers. Many of the leaders in politics, finance, and culture suffer from various latent spiritual problems. We need to look at people who do not know God through the spiritual perspective, and pray for the evangelism movement that will save these thirsty souls. When we pray for the field, God will lead us to interact with hidden disciples, and we will consequently enjoy the blessing of having the entire region become revived when we continue to pray while holding onto the Word. Forum Topic Think about the countless fields and interactions you will have today. Meditate deeply on the Word of God and discover the plan for evangelism God will fulfill through you today.
