Evangelism


Matthew 22:14 For many are called, but few [are] chosen.


We have an awesome privilege to be involved in bringing many to the kingdom of God through evangelism. If every believer engages in it, this world would be much better than it is now. But there are limiting beliefs and thinking patterns why people do not engage in evangelism. One of them is that some disqualify themselves from doing it due to a misunderstanding of the scriptures.


For instance there's a common thinking that there are some who have a call to preach while others are not. True there are those called specifically to occupy the office of an evangelist. However God has placed a general call on us believers to go out to the ends of the world and share the gospel, Matthew 28:18-20. Timothy was urged by Paul to do the work of an evangelist even though he was a Bishop or pastor, 2 Timothy 4:5.


There is also another side of the coin to it. Not only do some think they are not supposed to do it, others presuppose that there are already many people sharing the gospel already! On the contrary they are few. If we think someone out there is doing it, then we are deceived. There's never a limit to those who are to do the work however much some appear to be more popular. 


The famous preachers on TV won't reach the people only you can reach however much they invest heavily into TV or radio. The people who have attended Bible college are not many. There are a few missionaries available. 


Do not be limited by religious thinking, God wants to use you to reach the unreached and the unchurched.
