TOPIC: SAVED AND WILLING TO SERVE
TEXT: MARK 5:6-19
MEMORY VERSE: “Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee” (MARK 5:19).
The Lord Jesus has done great things for every converted person as he did for the mad man of Gadara. Jesus broke his chain of insanity. In like manner, Jesus Christ has broken our chains of sin and set us free. Jesus commanded the maniac to go home and tell others what had happened to him. Jesus also commanded us to go and preach the gospel of salvation to sinners around us.
Everyone is surrounded by five clusters of people that do not necessarily need strenuous effort to reach with the gospel message. They include our family members (immediate and distant), classmates, teaching and non-teaching staff, customers and neighbours. These clusters are to be our target as soon as we are converted.
Personal testimony of our new life in Christ will lend credence to our message. The demoniac obeyed the Lord. So must we. We must not keep quiet. Tell of Jesus’ saving grace to the tormented sinners. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. We are saved to serve. We must be up and doing for the Master. Reach out to sinners today.
QUOTE: Be up and doing for the Master.
CHALLENGE: Speak out for the Saviour, Jesus Christ.
PRAYER: Lord, I will obey Your command.
