COME AND SEE

WORDS OF LIFE DAILY DEVOTIONAL
January 15th, 2016 (Friday)

[Topic] - COME. AND SEE

[Scripture] - John 1:46. (AMP) "Nathanael answered him, [Nazareth!] Can anything good come out of Nazareth? Philip replied, Come and see!"

[Message] - Special greetings to you this morning.

The Great Commission, like we all know it in Mark 16:15, 'And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature', is evangelism. It's our number one assignment as believers and our rate of fruitfulness, as described in John 15:16, is directly proportional to the number of souls we win into the kingdom. Maybe the first question should be, how many souls have you won into the kingdom this year? If none, then, you haven't been fruitful this year?

Still on the topic of evangelism, there are many ways this can be done. The best way to evangelise is to live a godly life and let people see it (Matt 5:16, 1 Thess. 1:5-9). Once people see your good works, the way you live, it will attract them to your God. However, we shouldn't substitute this for the Great Commission, because we are asked to 'go..and preach'. So we must preach. Beyond living the God-kind of life (ZOE), we must also talk about it.

One of the best ways to preach the gospel to the whole world is what we see Philip telling Nathaniel in our anchor scripture, 'Come and see!'. In John 4:5-30, we see this strategy of evangelism used by a woman of Samaria who met with Jesus at the well. Those 3 words brought the whole city to Jesus (Johh 4:29), and that should be how we evangelise too, telling them to 'come and see'.

However, you can't ask anyone to come and see what you have not seen. That's absolutely impossible. You must have seen. Only then, can you call other people to come join you. You must have had an encounter with Christ, you must have seen Him, before you can call others to also come and see Him.

Have you seen Him? Have you experienced genuine salvation? If you have, then go and tell others what you have seen, asking them to also come and see. This is the big secret to evangelism, an important key to fruitfulness in 2016. No stress. No fears. You have a proof of what you're talking about.
COME AND SEE!
