<\/p>\n

Romans 10:13-14<\/cite> \u201cFor, \u2018everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.\u2019 How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?\u201d<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Jesus has entrusted us with the Gospel to change human destinies and human lives. We cannot take that lightly.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Gospel is not just a message that makes people\u2019s lives better, but a message that pulls people from the depths of hell.<\/span><\/p>\n

Many are ready to hear the Gospel, but fewer are ready to preach the Gospel. Are you called to preach the Gospel?<\/span><\/p>\n

Let me tell you a story about me. I didn\u2019t think I had what it takes. I thought I wasn\u2019t Gospel material. But the truth is, when I saw the need on the streets of Singapore \u2013 people walking past me and knowing they were not yet saved \u2013 my heart was moved with compassion like Jesus.<\/span><\/p>\n

I knew I had to bring the Gospel to my school or to anyone who would listen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Jesus has entrusted us with the Gospel to change human destinies and human lives. We cannot take that lightly.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

For the past year, I have been preaching the Gospel to complete strangers online and beyond Singapore in Asia, America and Africa.<\/span><\/p>\n

And I realised that, though I didn\u2019t feel ready, the truth was that I was ready, because all I needed was to know the Gospel.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You are the vessel to carry the light<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Jesus has readied and commissioned us to go.<\/span><\/p>\n

As He said in Matthew 28:18-19: <\/span>\u201cAll authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

When Jesus was speaking here, he wasn\u2019t speaking to top Bible school students; he was speaking to fishermen.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is a commandment for all, not just evangelists or pastors. Sharing the Gospel is not an option; it is a commandment!\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Either we live out the Word of God or we live in rebellion.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Church has to be a lifeboat rescuing the perishing, not a cruise ship recruiting the promising.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you have truly caught God\u2019s heart for the lost, you cannot live a normal life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Gospel is not just a message that makes people\u2019s lives better, but a message that pulls people from the depths of hell.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A lot of people don\u2019t want to give up their lives for Jesus. But each one of us is anointed to preach the Gospel.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As the Bible tells us, the Spirit of the Lord has anointed us to preach the Gospel, to set the captives free. (Luke 4:18)<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t let your fear of man or fear of failure overshadow God\u2019s call.<\/span><\/p>\n

Obedience is not birthed out of convenience. Jesus isn\u2019t asking you to do something easy. But He will empower you with boldness to do it, to be bold enough in the middle of opposition and inconvenience.<\/span><\/p>\n

You should be thinking: What would it profit me to gain the world, but in doing so, see my friends lose their souls? (Mark 8:36)<\/span><\/p>\n

You were called for such a time as this. You were born in this generation for a purpose! You are placed in this nation for a calling!<\/span><\/p>\n

Either we live out the Word of God or we live in rebellion.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The late Reinhard Bonnke, founder of Christ For All Nations, once said: \u201cJesus does not sit with sitters and sleep with sleepers, but He goes with goers and works with workers.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Look up! The field is ripe for harvest, wherever you are in this world. Your family, friends, and neighbours need to know Jesus. And you are the vessel to carry the light to these people.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl.<\/em>\u201d (Matthew 5:14-15)<\/span><\/p>\n

So let us pray:<\/span><\/p>\n

Dear Lord Jesus, I thank You that everyone hearing this is anointed to preach the Gospel and to set the captives free. I pray that where there is fear and intimidation, there shall be a greater spirit of boldness. When people go out and preach the Gospel, may they see salvation, signs, wonders and miracles and their lives will never, ever be the same. Lord Jesus, we honour Your work on the cross and we thank You for it.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

In Jesus\u2019 name we pray, Amen.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n
