Children of the Most High God, I have a question for you: Do your neighbors know God?

When we accept Christ, we also accept the commission that is before us – to evangelize. Now, everybody is not going to be able to go on mission trips to foreign lands, but everybody is not called to do this. Instead, we are to look around where we are – are your neighbors saved? What about your friends? How about your co-workers? We have a mission field right where we live and work. The harvest is ready for reaping.

There is a way that this must be done. You just can’t run up on someone and beat them over the head with the latest version of your Bible. Instead, you would do better by praying to God first about who to approach and when to approach them. When you are being led by God to evangelize, your efforts will not be in vain.

This does not always mean that you will see instant results. Instead, it means that you are doing your part to further the Kingdom of God. You would have planted a seed that will last and will ultimately help to win a soul for the Lord.

So, do not focus on the instant win – focus on God’s direction. Say what He would have you to say when He tells you to say it and to whomever He commands you to say it to. Then, sit back and wait for His perfect will to be done. It may require follow-up doses of your witnessing – and that’s okay too. Go ahead, get praying and planting!
