February 4 Devotion - We are witnesses of Christ

“But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

لكنكم ستنالون قوة متى حل الروح القدس عليكم وتكونون لي شهودا في اورشليم وفي كل اليهودية والسامرة والى اقصى الارض

Acts 1:8

On Saturday I attended a seminar entitled ‘Everyday Evangelism’. We each have a role to talk about the good news and the truth about Jesus to all those who do not believe and/or do not know the good news and the truth.

Here is the good news:

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

لانه هكذا احب الله العالم حتى بذل ابنه الوحيد لكي لا يهلك كل من يؤمن به بل تكون له الحياة الابدية

John 3:16

Do you know anyone whom you can help have everlasting life by sharing the good news? Even if you just forward devotions to them, that is a beginning. Remember that:

God wants everyone to be saved and to fully understand the truth. ⁵ There is only one God, and there is only one way that people can reach God. That way is through Christ Jesus, who as a man ⁶ gave himself to pay for everyone to be free. This is the message that was given to us at just the right time.

 الَّذي يُريدُ أنْ يَأْتِيَ جَمِيعُ النّاسِ إلَى الخَلاصِ، وَأنْ يَتَوَصَّلُوا إلَى مَعرِفَةِ الحَقِّ.

 اللهُ واحِدٌ، وَالوَسِيطُ بَينَ اللهِ وَالنّاسِ واحِدٌ هُوَ الإنسانُ يَسُوعَ المَسِيحِ. 6 وَقَدْ بَذَلَ نَفسَهُ فِديَةً لِأجلِ خَطايا جَمِيعِ النّاسِ، مُقَدِّماً شَهادَةً عَنْ مَحَبَّةِ اللهِ فِي الوَقتِ المُناسِبِ.

1 Timothy 2:4-6

I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:

Abba Father, thank You that You have given me power through The Holy Spirit so that I can be a witness to You. Expand my focus Jesus, and bring me into harmony with Your divine purpose of reaching the world with the good news of the Gospel and the truth about Your identity. Jesus, I pray that You continue to strengthen me with power through Your Spirit in my inner being, so that I can help others to know You and feel your presence in their lives. Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Ephesians 3:20-21. Amen.

Jesus loves you,

In Him,
