Matthew 24:14 (NIV)
14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached
in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will
come.
We are stewards of the Gospel. The power to proclaim the
greatest news in heaven or on earth was not given to the angels. It was given
to redeemed men. This was addressed to humble laymen. Some think that only
ministers are to preach, but that is wrong. Every Christian is to be a witness;
every follower of Christ is to preach the Gospel.
We can preach by sharing our experience with others. We can
preach by exalting Christ in our daily lives. Sermons which are seen are often
more effective than those which are heard. The truth is: the best sermons are
both heard and seen. They are a sort of audiovisual testimony. We can also
preach by giving to others, so they may preach. Missionary gifts, church
offerings, and charitable contributions all speak eloquently of your
unselfishness and Christian generosity.
In all these things, we are partners with God. We are
helping by His grace to redeem the world. God needs our time, our talents, our
witnessing, and our money, today more than at any other time in history. Become
a full, working partner with God.
Thought for today:
What is my work for God?
