There are times when unbelief plows into our thoughts, unbeknown to us. As a result, conflicts arise in our church and field. However, evangelism disciples must know and enjoy God’s plan. The blessings that we have received have been hidden for long ages past and is now revealed and made known. The purpose of our lives is to give glory to God until the end of time. What must we do in order to receive answers as evangelism disciples?
1. Imprint regarding the time schedule
There is something that evangelism disciples must know; the fact that evangelism and missions are within the time schedule of God. No matter what kind of difficulty we face, God absolutely works for salvation as He has predestined. Also, offering we make and works of evangelism and missions we do are not temporary things, but last forever. Even the past and future are in God’s hands. Evangelism disciples must have the assurance regarding His time schedule and enjoy ‘today.’
2. Imprint regarding people
When we know the preciousness of the Gospel, our labor doesn’t feel like labor. Even the ministers who serve the church seem precious. Also, when the fact that the saved people are precious gets imprinted on us, God’s works will begin. Otherwise, we condemn the people at church according to our own standards and cause trials. Priscilla and Aquila started a missions business and helped Paul all their lives. This is because preaching the Gospel is the most worthy that brings eternal blessings.
3. Imprint regarding Satan
The Bible absolutely lays bare the existence of Satan. We must be imprinted with this fact. When a division occurs at a church, Satan is most happy. Because Satan cannot bring down the church that is within the power of Jesus Christ, he constantly brings problems to induce conflict. It is the same for evangelism and missions. If it seems like Satan will benefit, then yield and keep silent while devoting to stake our lives for God’s plan. At that time, God grants great answers.
