Keys To Effective Evangelism

Ephesians 4:11
Mark 16:15

Some are called to the office of an evangelist, but all Christ followers are instructed to evangelize.
It is a responsibility of every follower of Jesus Christ.
It is an instruction given by our Lord Jesus Christ to all Christians. Acts 10:42
Evangelism targets the soulsof men. The aim of it is to win people over to the Kingdom of God through the foolishness of preaching, application of wisdom, demonstration of spiritual gifts or powers and persuation.

Evangelism doesn't have to cost you money as an individual, the major requirements for it are God's leading and the giving of your time.
Evangelism is a battle for the souls of men. 2 Corinthians 4:4
Evangelism is part of our Kingdom responsibility.
Evangelism is part of the work of Jesus. Mark 1:38
It is God's will that we are effective in our evangelism.
Luke 24:49
Evangelism is an earthly assignment we must carryout with passion.
There is no evangelism in heaven,here on earth is where we need to make the most of the opportunity to reach souls for the Lord.
1 Timonthy 2:1-5
Evangelism is not just an act of soul winning,it is a reflection of our priority. Matthew 6:21
Evangelism reflects the heart and compassion of the one who is sharing the gospel with the lost.
Mark 8:2

2) We all know people or someone who doesn't have a relationship with God. 2 Thessalonians 3:2

6) It is a direct command from Jesus Christ. Mark 16:15
7) It is part of the Father's business. John 4:34-38

 What makes our witness or evangelism effective?

2) Friendliness- a friendly person stands a better chance of creating opportunities to share the gospel with people. A friendly person has more friends. Knowing more people gives you a network of people to reach. Proverbs 18:24

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18...
