Witness To The World

“This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.” (John 15:8)

Witnessing to the world is one of the important disciplines of becoming a disciple of Christ. Elaine Teh from MYAF came to talk on this topic last Saturday. She deserved a loud applause from us because of her wonderful sharing that reminds us that we must be bold and go out to share the Good News to the others.

What are we witnessing about? It is about God the Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit for God’s glory to proclaim God’s love to the world. We are the light and the question brought up was ‘Are we prepared to bring this light into the darkness?’ We, Christians are known as the Planters and Harvesters in witnessing. So, we are called to witness and it is not an option (John 15:16) but it is God’s command to us. To witness, we must first bear the fruit of the Spirit (Gal. 5:22-23) and we must remember that we are guided by the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:8).

However, there are many things that are holding us back to witness such as fear of rejection, failure, contamination and lack of skill. Actually, we should know that we are only the mouthpiece of God so that we can witness to the world and the Holy Spirit is always guiding us. So, the relationship with God must be built so that the Holy Spirit can guide us through the Words. But, there is a cost of witnessing that is sacrifice.

People need the Lord
So, the crucial question now is:-
“Do you dare to trust God entirely?”
“Do you have the calling to stay home?”

God Bless,
