N283

Dearest N283! This is my FIRST post! So excited to share it with you!

It's from Pst Kong's daily Devotion, but I thought this really administers to our cg as a whole:)
I've highlighted some points that touches my heart.

Many times we feel that our friends are not interested about knowing Jesus, cos they are always not free when we invited them, last minute they can't make it or become reluctant to come. We become discouraged. It seemed more and more difficult to reach out to them, but fret not, cos Jesus has succeeded!

Soul-winning Jesus’ Style
How did Jesus reach out to an uninterested generation?
He became a caring soulwinner. Jesus stepped into Simon Peter’s boat. By doing that, He immediately got into “Peter’s world.” The fi rst step in making a difference in a person’s life is to get into his or her world.

On the shore, Jesus was standing; but in the boat, He was sitting down. That means Jesus was not in a hurry. He was planning to fellowship for a while.

At that point, Simon Peter was very discouraged. He and his team had “toiled all night and caught nothing” (Luke 5:5). Jesus immediately saw a need and started encouraging Simon Peter. He motivated Peter to try fi shing again; this time, with the help of God.

I have found that no matter how hardened a person may be as an unchurched sinner, when he or she experiences your loving sincerity in (1) spending time to befriend them, (2) encouraging them by giving them a new vision and fresh hope, and (3) meeting their needs practically, then a fourth thing will naturally happen. (4) Peter gave His heart to Jesus and waswonderfully saved.

This is Jesus’ style of personal evangelism: First, you win them over as your friends. Then you win them over to the Lord.

WE CAN DO IT TOO!!! Let's believe for a great revival in the cell group and pray for a breakthrough! As said in His Word, "Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them."–Matt. 18:20. A place of agreement is a place of power! Let's work towards our common vision! When we do our best, God will do the rest:) Let us honour our friends with our time, efforts, blessings, words of affirmation, etc! We honour people because the price of Jesus was paid for each individual and of cos, out of our love for our friends, ya? We thank you Jesus in advance! AMEN!
