Gospel Preaching

The Lord in His mercy has revived in me the spirit of gospel preaching. For the past couple of weeks, I was not able to preach the gospel as I ought to. Either there were some church meetings or fellowship or training, or I was traveling, but somehow the gospel preaching on Saturdays was not carried out. Deep within me, I knew I was lacking in life as I also had many weaknesses spiritually. But I decided that at least once a week I must preach the gospel, no matter what.

Last Saturday afternoon, the Lord graced me to go out with a brother to preach the gospel. Due to the security personnel standing in every corner of the shopping plaza we went to preach the gospel to, we were not able to meet people openly to preach the gospel. After two rounds of walking, we changed the areas and went toward a metro station. As we went, we met people along the way and were able to preach the gospel. It was so encouraging that when we went out, the Lord also prepared people to meet us at a specific location and at a specific time.

Last Lord's Day afternoon, as the church we all went to preach the gospel at DLF-3 U Block where many young working people have their residences. On the street, we went to meet people and preached the gospel to whoever would listen to us. In this way, a brother and I were able to preach the gospel to seven people solidly. Our approach this time was a little different from all the previous ways. This time, we did not distribute tracts freely as we used to do so before. The political and social environment has changed. Therefore, we were advised not to openly distribute tracts. But we can meet people, and only those who are open to the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, we can continue to meet them and set up a home meeting with them.

In the last weekend's gospel preaching, the Lord led me to preach the gospel to a mechanical engineer, software engineer, airforce officer, restaurant manager, housekeeper, and laborer.  At least these ones have heard the gospel! May the word of the Lord Jesus Christ sown as the gospel seed of divine life sprout and grow!

In fact, in the past too, I have preached the gospel to so many people. But I need to overcome the matter of following them up regularly. I am weak in following the ones I preached the gospel to. Though they received, believed, and called upon the Lord's name, I was not able to continue shepherding them. Many of them have been lost in this way. Nevertheless, I will continue to preach the gospel in obedience to the great commission.

Go therefore and disciple all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Matthew 28:19
