II Thessalonians 3:1 Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run swiftly and be glorified, just as it is with you,

15 And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 “He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. NKJV 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.” NKJV

TWO THINGS ARE NEEDED TO UTILIZE THE CONTACTS MADE THROUGH INDIVIDUAL MEMBERS CONCERN FOR THE LOST BY THOSE MEMBERS - CF. MATTHEW 9:36-38; ROMANS 9:1-3 KNOWLEDGE OF HOW WE CAN INCREASE OUR OPPORTUNITIES TO SHARE THE GOSPEL WITH THOSE WITH WHOM WE FREQUENTLY COME INTO CONTACT ASSUMING THAT THE CONCERN IS THERE, IN THIS LESSON THERE ARE SEVERAL SUGGESTIONS ON HOW ANYONE WHO IS A CHRISTIAN CAN INCREASE THEIR OPPORTUNITIES TO SHARE THE GOSPEL. 6 But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd. 37 Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. 38 “Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.”NKJV 1 I tell the truth in Christ, I am not lying, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Spirit, 2 that I have great sorrow and continual grief in my heart. 3 For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my countrymen according to the flesh, NKJV

OUR LOVE WILL HELP PROVE THAT WE ARE WHO WE CLAIM - JOHN 13:35 THAT IS THAT WE ARE TRULY THE DISCIPLES OF CHRIST CORRECT DOCTRINE, ORGANIZATION, WORSHIP, ETC., IS IMPORTANT BUT IT WILL BE OUR LOVE FOR ONE ANOTHER THAT WILL CONVINCE THE WORLD THAT WE ARE TRULY THE DISCIPLES OF CHRIST! WITHOUT LOVE WE ARE JUST A LOT OF NOISE 1 CORINTHIANS 13:1. 35 “By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another NKJV 1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal NKJV

LOVE MAKES US USEFUL TO THE LORD - REVELATION 3:7-8 THE LORD KNOWS THE TRUE CONDITION OF HIS CHURCHES! IF A CONGREGATION CAN BE USED BY HIM TO REACH OTHERS WITH THE GOSPEL TO ASSIMILATE THEM INTO THE FAMILY OF GOD TO NURTURE THEM IN THEIR SPIRITUAL GROWTH -- THEN HE WILL "OPEN DOORS" ! BUT SUPPOSE THAT A CHURCH IS NOT A PLACE WHERE NEW OR LONG TIME CHRISTIANS CAN GROW SPIRITUALLY IN AN ATMOSPHERE OF LOVE...? “And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write, ‘These things says He who is holy, He who is true, “He who has the key of David, He who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one opens”: 8 “I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name. NKJV

WHERE DOES ONE START? MAKE A LIST OF FRIENDS, RELATIVES NEIGHBORS, CO-WORKERS. FREQUENT VISITORS, MEMBERS WHO HAVE FALLEN AWAY. VIRTUALLY ANYBODY YOU KNOW SO THAT YOU DON’T LOSE YOUR FOCUS AND BE OVERWHELMED PICK YOUR 5 T0 8 TOP PRIORITIES HOWEVER “ 15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear” 1 PETER 3:15 NKJV

PUT THAT LIST WHERE YOU WILL BE REMINDED EVERYDAY OF YOUR GOAL PRAY FOR THESE SOULS ON YOUR LIST DAILY THAT GOD WILL WORK TOGETHER WITH YOU: TO GIVE YOU "OPPORTUNITIES" TO DO GOOD FOR THEM COLOSSIANS 4:3; 2 THESSALONIANS 3:1 TO GIVE YOU THE "WISDOM" TO MAKE THE MOST OF THOSE OPPORTUNITIES EPHESIANS 6:19-20 2 Continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it with thanksgiving; NKJV 1 Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run swiftly and be glorified, just as it is with you, NKJV 19 and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak. NKJV

THAT THOSE ON YOUR LIST WILL: HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR THE TRUTH HAVE HONEST HEARTS TO BE OPEN AND RECEPTIVE TO THE TRUTH REMEMBER, IT IS GOD WHO GIVES THE INCREASE 1 CORINTHIANS 3:5-7 WE ARE BUT SERVANTS WHOM GOD CAN USE IN HIS PROVIDENTIAL WORKINGS SO THOUGH WE MAY WORK AS THOUGH IT ALL DEPENDS UPON US, LET US PRAY AS THOUGH IT ALL DEPENDS UPON GOD 5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers through whom you believed, as the Lord gave to each one? 6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase. 7 So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.
