Jesus commissioned the disciples as His witnesses. Furthermore, God wants to send you as a witness in your family, family line, and in every field. What is the God-given evidence and how can you go out as a witness of Christ?
1. A Witness of Works to Enjoy and the Works That Will Follow(Evidence)
The evidence that you can enjoy is the salvation of God being with you(WITH). In addition, God is with us(Immanuel) and is raising the church. Even in hardships, God works in everything to fulfill His covenant(Oneness). There is also evidence that follows the evangelist’s life. He reveals the evidence of “only,” “uniqueness,” and “re-creation” in every meeting, situation, and field.
2. A Witness Who Possesses Three Evidences
First is a witness who will enjoy the original blessings(Genesis 12:1~3) God has given you the promise of the Gospel which states that He will save the world through someone as weak as you. Second is a witness of spiritual evidences(Matthew 4:19, Mark 3:13~15, Matthew 10:1~42, and Luke 10:19). God has given you blessings and a signpost for the absolute journey(Matthew 28:16~20, Mark 16:15~20, and Acts 1:8). Third is a witness of actual evidences. Every day, these witnesses go to themselves and to those who cannot hear, so that they can see and understand.
How can you realistically start evangelism? Simply begin the Word movement with family members and friends around you(the Darakbang evangelism movement). It’s important to embrace your relatives, multiethnic people, and TCKs(Third Culture Kids) to continue missions work by aligning your direction with the church’s. Confess that you are truly an absolute disciple who enjoys the blessing of the absolute witness every day.
[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, I believe that I will be raised as an absolute witness who has the absolute evidence in the evangelism movement that naturally takes place. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
