Preach when you have opportunity

John 9:4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.

There's a time and season for everything under the sun. There's a time when you are a youth, energetic and strong and you are able to do several things in a day and not get so tired. Night time is coming when old age will catch up with you and you will do a few things in a day and you feel worn out. Better make use of such times when you can use your strength to evangelise as much as you can. If one cultivates the habit now, you will do it even in old age. 

There are so many cares and concerns that come with new experiences whereby you need to adjust to them. Newly wedded, having a baby, new job. For a time being you may want to strike the balance between what you have been doing and the new experience that you are encountering. Those new experiences will either draw you closer to your God or push you further apart. They will either hinder your soul winning or enhance it. 

Then there are times which come where you encounter the unpleasant circumstances like death, loss of a job, childlessness or loss of a child, unmet dreams. Some people battle with financial issues, court battles, stolen property etc. for so long which wound their emotions and personality and affect our soul winning. It takes God to continue doing the work of God in those times. I have seen and heard many men of God still serving powerfully even when they are facing many troubles in their marriages and even in other areas, you too can.

There are other hindrances which are beyond us like wars in a country, epidemics like the recent COVID-19. In war, church cannot be the same again no wonder the Bible says we should pray for our nations and leaders that we should be at peace. When unrest prevails, the gospel is hindered somehow. No one desires to take crusades or plant churches in war-torn countries or regions, plagued areas or areas where there is famine and drought. Post COVID-19 some churches closed down and have never existed since then. 

Soul winner, you are not in so worse a condition as you may think. Even when you are surrounded with tough times, you will either become bitter or better when you are out of them. But all in all, when all is well with you and at every opportunity, preach the gospel as much as you can because a time is coming when it will be hard to do so.

1 Timothy 2:1-2 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, [and] giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and [for] all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
