heyhey guys!
wna share w u guys about what i learnt in effective evangelism.

often when there's a big event, we'll invite our friends, hoping that they get saved, integrated into the cell.

yepyep! these are 2 steps of evangelism. BUT! we often forget to do the FIRST step! invitation is step 2, and integration is step 3.

so! what's step 1???

INCUBATION

take out all u guys' Bible! and flip with me to Genesis 1:1-3!

1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
3 And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light.

A sequence of events for creation and re-creation of the earth:

1) creation.
2) The earth with without form and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep.
3) The Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
4) The Word of God was spoken.
5) The earth was re-created.



A sequence of events for for the redemption and salvation of man:

1) We are born.
2) We are in sin - without spiritual form, living with a Christ-less void in our hearts and walking in darkness.
3) The Spirit of God began hovering over our lives and doing a work in our hearts.
4) The Word of God was spoken into our heart and spirit.
5) We are saved - reborn in the Spirit.



u guys see the similarities?

the Holy Spirit was incubating over our lives before we came to Christ.

just like a hen, she sits on her eggs, incubating them, and preparing her chicks before they see the light. (:



so guys! let's pray for the Holy Spirit to move in our friends' lives. pray about it over a certain period of time. and when it is the time, invite our friends. their hearts will be opened by then to receive the Word of God.





the upcoming big event will be X'mas!
so people!, let's start to pray for our friends, for their hearts to be so open. and when it's nearing X'mas, let's invite them. =D



JIAYOU! (:
