Strategically Reaching Others

Who is on your radar that needs the Lord? Have you thought about how to reach that friend, family member, co-worker or neighbor next door? One day this life as we know it now will come to an end. Jesus said, “I go to prepare a place for you and if I go I will come again to receive you unto myself that where I am there you may be also.” (John 14:2, 3)

Will your family or friends be left behind? Will they face the wrath of God that will come on this earth? The Book of Revelations makes no bones about it that what’s coming on earth after Christ return isn’t going to be pretty. Famine, financial collapse of the worlds markets, wars where millions will be killed, and the great deceiver called “The Anti-Christ” will appear just to mention a few things that are coming.

We are living in a time where many are being lulled to sleep. I believe Satan has blinded and drugged up people on the things of this world where they can’t even see what’s coming. Is there hope for your family and friends? Let God use you!

HE WILL USE YOU’RE:

ENCOURAGMENT, Each of us has the power to encourage someone with our actions. Buy someone a cup of coffee, a lunch, mow their grass, or put some gas in someone’s automobile. God can give you the thought to encourage someone in some way that REACHES and touches their heart.

CHARACTER, No one is perfect but each of us who have surrendered our life to the Lord has a new heart to live right and do right. I am not saying that we pretend to be people that have no hang- ups or hick-ups in life. Thank God I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me to deny my fleshly desires and live an overcoming life.

BOLDNESS, This world would like for us to cave in under the pressures of this sinful society. Satan hates those who will stand up for what is right. God gave Peter a new boldness when he was filled with the Holy Spirit. Let God refill you today with His Power to stand up in the work place, the market place, or among your family who thinks you’re crazy.

KINDNESS, Don’t tell anybody how in love you are with Christ and then spout off at them every time they unnerve you at work or on the highway. Have you thought about letting someone else have your parking space, buy them lunch or a cup of coffee. Yesterday this guy walked into the restaurant who had tattooed his entire face. One of our men from church was moved to buy his breakfast and leave a card that said, “Something extra to show you that God loves you.”  Be kind to people and watch God work.

COMPASSION, The road from Jerusalem to Jericho was known as the way of Blood because of the blood which is often shed there by robbers. It was a drop in elevation from 2500 feet in 15 miles to 850 feet below sea level. A priest, Levite passed by a robber one day but one man stopped and said, “I must do something to help this man.” Let God use your compassion to change a life.

TIME Dwayne Jones said, “were not running out of money, but we are running out of time.” Will you let God have your days that are left? Make the best of the days you have left to give.
