RESTORATION TODAY
SATURDAY 22ND APRIL 2017
BY PASTOR DR. G.O. OLUTOLA JP
THEME: YOU ARE AN EVANGELIST [2].

So faith comes from hearing that is, hearing the Good News about Christ. Romans 10: 17.

No person in the New Testament got saved apart from the agency of human being. Have you ever stopped and thought about that We find example after example.

There was the Ethiopian eunuch (Acts 8: 26 - 39). There are many ways that God could have reached this man from a distant country. He could have sent an angel to meet him. Instead, the Lord sent an angel to Philip and told him to go. So Philip went and proclaimed the gospel to that man, and he believed. Then there was the Philippian jailer (Acts 16: 27 - 34). God could have reached him in many ways.

Instead, he allowed Paul and Silas to be incarcerated and to ultimately proclaim the gospel, bringing that man and his family to faith. We can think of Cornelius, a man who was searching for God (Acts 10). An angel spoke to him and told him he needed to meet a man named Simon Peter. The angel explained where to find him. The angel could have given him the gospel. But God chose to use Simon Peter.

What about Saul? First, it was the witness of Stephen that softened Saul?s heart and made it receptive to the seed of Word when he was confronted by Jesus Christ. Afterward, God sent Ananias to follow up on Saul and pray for him to receive the power of the Holy Spirit. God used people. And He wants to use you.

ACTION POINT:
 God uses people to proclaim his salvation message. Let Him use you.
