Daily devotion – a heart for the lost
Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God – 1 John 4:7
Anyone who is considering serving the Lord can only achieve such service by prayer often infused with tears.
The power that raised Jesus Christ from the dead is available to every believer. Ministry and service have nothing to do with our own ability. Such power-driven service only comes from God. Each day we need a fresh filling from the Holy Spirit – Eph 5:18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit – and that comes from the time we spend with God in His Word and in prayer.
John Vassar knocked on the door of a person’s home and asked the woman if she knew Jesus Christ as her Saviour. She replied. “It’s none of your business” and slammed the door in his face. Not to be easily set aside, he stood on the doorstep and wept and wept, and the woman looked out her window to see him weeping.
The next Sunday she was in Church and she said she was there because of those tears!
Mar 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
Mar 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
