Before You Share





You would like to share Christ with others. Before just jumping in, however, there are four things you should consider and think on.

I. Examine Yourself
    a. Am I living the way God wants me to?
    b. Do I talk to God daily? (I Thessalonians 5:17)
    c. Do I listen to what He says to me through His Word, the Bible?
    d. Do I ask forgiveness when and if there is reason to?
    e. Do I ask the Holy Spirit to fil me, teach me, guide me and strengthen me? (Acts 1:8 and Luke 1:13)

II. Jesus Christ, My Example
    a. He spent most of His time sharing, teaching multitudes and training the 12 disciples (and His followers).
    b. He took them with Him to observe and learn.
    c. When I'm discouraged, remember, Jesus also felt discouraged at times.
    d. He was unjustly accused and criticized.

III. What Does Jesus Expect From His Followers?
    a. Jesus said, "If anyone loves me, he will obey my teachings." (Hebrews 5:9)
    b. Jesus said, "Go and make diciples." (Matthew 28:19 and I Peters 3:15)

IV. Prayer
    a. Pray that the Lord direct to whom and when you share
    b. Pray that the Holy Spirit prepare the heart of that person
