MINISTRY
1. Make a record of your time spent in prayer, and the topics on which you prayed. Remember, prayer for others should take precedence over prayer for yourself, but don't neglect to take your own needs to the Lord as well.2. Don't shy away from situations that call for compassion, but seek them out. Record the times, places, and situations in which you practiced compassion, and examine your response. Ask yourself how you could have done better, but don't neglect to note when you've done all you could to the best of your ability.
3. It's especially important to keep a journal of your evangelical activities, as you will learn which activities are most effective for you. Seek to answer these questions to learn how to be a more effective evangelist:
1) Did I take advantage of every opportunity?
2) Was I prepared materially with such materials as tracts or a Bible available?
3) Was I prepared mentally with answers to Biblical questions?
4) Was I prepared emotionally and spiritually through regular scheduled prayer for the demands of evangelical activities?
5) Did I reflect the love of Christ, or did I do something that may have caused the individual to actually "tune-out" the message?
6) Did my actions lead someone to Christ? (If so, Praise God!)
Christians A name given at Antioch to those who believed Jesus to be the Messiah, A. D. 42,
Acts 11:26. It seems to have been given to them by the men of Antioch as a term of convenience rather than of ridicule, to designate the new sect more perfectly than any other word could do. They generally called each other "brethren," "the faithful," "saints," "believers;" and were named by the Gentiles, Nazarenes and Galileans. He only is a real Christian who heartily accepts Christ as his teacher, guide, and master, the source of his highest life, strength, and joy, his only Redeemer from sin and hell, his Lord and his God. They who rightly bear Christ's name and partake of his nature, and they only, shall finally share in his glory.
am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward you. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your will for the rest of my life. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.”
