Sharing Christ with Others

SCRIPTURE
Acts 18:9-10 - "Now the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision, "Do not be afraid, but speak, and do not keep silent, for I am with you, and no one will attack you to hurt you, for I have many people in this city".


OBSERVATION
God promised Paul many people in the city that God had sent him to. Perhaps Paul was struggling with fear issues, because God reassured him and told him not to be afraid. He encouraged Paul, promising him that there were many people in that city that would come to know Christ because of Paul's obedience to share the message of salvation and witness.


APPLICATION
This scripture is a direct confirmation to us as a church after the message that Roger spoke yesterday. God is speaking to us that as we take steps of faith and obedience and share Christ with others, that He does have many people in this city that will come into His Kingdom. He is reassuring us not to be afraid, ut to speak in obedience to Him.

PRAYER
God, help us to be willing to take steps of faith to share Christ with those who are in our lives who don't know You. May we be instruments in them coming to know Christ as their Savior. Direct our steps and put people in our paths that we can share with, and help us to overcome fear and be obedient to speak out for You. Sensitize our spirits to Your Holy Spirit. We make a commitment to be obedient and speak as You provide the opportunity.
