Text: Matthew 28:19–20
Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan
Exhortation:
A disciple is a witness. Jesus commissioned His disciples, “Go and make disciples of all nations” (Matthew 28:19). Evangelism is not a gift for a few but a mandate for all. A silent disciple becomes an ineffective one. The gospel spreads through voices willing to speak.
Evangelism is powered by compassion (Matthew 9:36). We preach because souls matter. Hell is real (Revelation 20:15), eternity is certain (Hebrews 9:27), and Christ is the only way (John 14:6). A disciple shares the gospel boldly, lovingly, and urgently.
Evangelism requires preparation—knowing the Word (1 Peter 3:15), being led by the Spirit (Acts 8:29), and living a life that validates the message (Philippians 2:15–16). A disciple’s lifestyle is a sermon before any words are spoken.
When a disciple evangelizes, heaven rejoices (Luke 15:7), angels support, and the Spirit empowers. Evangelism deepens spiritual maturity because sharing strengthens faith. Every disciple must see themselves as God’s messenger to their generation.
Prayer Nugget: Father, make me a bold and effective witness of your gospel in Jesus name.
