Evangelism or Sales


Good morning :) Just pretend today is Friday lol :) This is a post that was supposed to be for Friday sorry for the delay!


 
I don’t know if I have ever mentioned that I work part time, I serve at an Ethiopian restaurant. You will probably be hearing about this job of mine many times in the things I will be writing. If any of you have ever worked in restaurants or any job that requires sales you will defiantly relate. Don’t stress, you will still understand even if you have never worked in a sales job. Personally, I am not a big fan of alcohol. At work though, we sell both food and alcohol. I am so much more convincing when I am making a sell on food that I love, or even food that I know is good than alcohol. Now, when it comes to alcohol, it is a different story. First off, I can’t even explain the difference between different beers nor can I express my liking of beer by describing the different flavours. Part of the reason I lack passion for describing or selling alcoholic drinks is also because I don’t drink and so I can’t explain it based on my own personal experience. If you have a product that you have to sell you first need to believe in it yourself.

Evangelism is basically sharing the good news, The Gospel. Btw according to God’s word in Mark 16:15 all Christians were called to evangelize: “And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.” The best evangelists are people who have experienced God themselves, those who share the gospel by sharing their own experience and letting people see for themselves how marvelous His work is. Like my alcohol vs. food example, a person who has experienced Christ can share Christ better than a person who Just knows about Him. This is not to discourage anyone; in fact this is to encourage you! Paul the Apostle used to be Saul. Saul was a guy who persecuted Christians but, one day Jesus appeared to him. After experiencing Christ Saul was never Saul again, he became Paul the Apostle. Mind you, Paul did not have knowledge of Christ he experienced Christ. We all know how much he evangelized! So my point in a nutshell, even if you don’t know the bible inside out your experience with the living father can be a great tool for evangelizing. People can challenge you if you just throw bible verses and sometimes you might not have logical answers to their questions but what they can’t do is question your experience. No matter what they ask or how many challenging questions they fling at you, your experience is still your experience. Today be encouraged, though you don’t know many verses by heart or know the bible inside out, experiencing God is superior. Do not fear as you go out to evangelize because God said: “Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:20

Notes:
·         You can sell something you have tasted better than something you don’t even like or know off
·         Evangelize to share the love you have experienced
·         Evangelism is something we are all called to do as Christians


Stay Blessed<3

Sermon by Jentezen Franklin: Spirit of Python: Teaching Angels to Worship

When you are going to hell/trails and you worship is when you can teach the Angels to Worship :) 1) God is Spirit : the Spirit is looking for people who will worship Him in truth and In spirit. *In Truth: the right truth (Jesus : see John 14:6) * In Spirit: even during trails we need to be in the spirit of Joy, Faith, Hope and Love "God is spirit,  and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.” John 4:24 2) God can make something out of nothing : before God spoke the world into motion it was nothing. He took what was nothing made it into something. He also hung it on nothing, there is nothing that holds the universe in place! “Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation?      Tell me, if you understand." Job 38:4 How and when can we teach worship to the Angels? Angels Vs. Us Angels 1) Angels have never been nor will they ever be under the course of sin 2) They live in a perfect place (Heaven) 3) The fir...

Sermon by Jentezen Franklin: The Power of Doing More than Expected

Even Jesus went a little farther...He did more than expected! Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.” Matthew 26:39 1) Jacob was working for his unfair father-in-law...and still did more than expected   Genesis 29 Jacob was tricked by his father-in-law Laban. But he never sinned against Laban and he always did more than what was expected from him! 2) Who did Jacob learn it from..doing more than expected? From his mother Rebekah "17  The servant hurried to meet her and said, “Please give me a little water from your jar.” 18  “Drink, my lord,” she said, and quickly lowered the jar to her hands and gave him a drink. 19  After she had given him a drink, she said, “I’ll draw water for your camels too, until they have had enough to drink.” 20  So she quickly emptied her jar into the trough, ran back to the we...

Just Jaded!

I hope you and your loved ones are safe in these crazy times. If any tragedy has come to your home, I pray God's peace and love envelops you right where you are. I pray that you rely on His unending love, mercy, grace, and strength in this time of hardship... I am, like most people, feeling very jaded. I have experienced more highs and lows in such intense frequencies now than any other time I can remember. I believe this is why the Lord has me sharing this... I had planned to write about loving people and what it looks like in different seasons. However, I felt a nudge that I should be sharing about the hope I have despite feeling jaded. To make sure we are on the same page about what I mean when I say jaded, here are two definitions from Merriam Webster's dictionary:  1: fatigued by overwork: EXHAUSTED  2: made dull, apathetic, or cynical by experience or by having or seeing too much of something I can identify with both definitions. In this season, I fin...
