The Holy Venture

Go into all the world and preach the Gospel...
                                                                    Mark 16:15


 
Reinhard Bonkke once said, 'The urgency of this message is what keeps me going... we have to GO and PREACH the Gospel...an unpreached Gospel is no Gospel.'
I'm fully convinced that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is the only lasting and reliable solution to all human problems.  It is the basis upon which sin (the root of all suffering and corruption) is dealt with and done away with. The man in Christ is born again with the divine life of God in Him. And with this life, he can impact his world tremendously for the Lord with the Gospel.
Bishop Matthew Addae-Mensah describes the call to preach the Gospel as a 'Holy Venture.' Why? Because it is a consecrated and set apart ministry which is strictly dedicated to the believer. God himself has anointed you and sent you forth to preach the Gospel; bring about deliverance to the captives, and to unveil his glory to the world. Glory to God!
Sound the alarm wherever you are today! You may not necessarily know what to say to the person sitting next to you- but just open your mouth, the next thing you know you'd be preaching the Gospel to that fellow. Spend time with the Lord today praying for those who have not heard this message of hope and step out to make an impact. God bless you as you do so!
