GREAT POTENTIAL OF THE CHRISTIAN TO BE
FRUITFUL IN WINNING LOST PEOPLE.
1. SAVED
AND BAPTIZED CHRISTIANS HAVE GREAT POTENTIAL TO FULFILL THE GREAT COMMISSION OF
THE LORD JESUS CHRIST
( Matthew 28:19-20 ) [19]Go ye
therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and
of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
[20]Teaching them to observe all
things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto
the end of the world. Amen.
2. THE
PRESENCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT GIVES CHRISTIANS THE POTENTIAL FOR POWER AND WISDOM
FROM GOD.
( Acts 1:8 ) But ye shall
receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be
witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and
unto theA uttermost part of the earth.
( John 16:13 ) Howbeit when
he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he
shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak:
and he will shew you things to come.
3. THE
DEDICATION OF THE JERUSALEM CHURCH IN PRAYERS AND GODLY LIVING PROVIDES THE
POTENTIAL TO BE FRUITFUL IN THE CHRISTIAN LIFE.
4. THE
FAITHFULNESS OF THE CHURCH IN SUPPORTING MISSIONS AND MISSIONARIES IS THE
POTENTIAL OF THE CHRISTIAN TO BE FRUITFUL.
( Philippians 4:15-16 ) [15]Now ye
Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed
from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and
receiving, but ye only.
[16]For even in Thessalonica ye sent
once and again unto my necessity.
5. STRONG
CHURCH MEMBERS WITHIN THE LOCAL CHURCH ARE THE POTENTIAL FOR FRUITFULNESS IN
THE CHRISTIAN LIFE.
( II Timothy 2:1-6 ) [1]Thou
therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
[2]And the things that thou hast
heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who
shall be able to teach others also.
[3]Thou therefore endure hardness,
as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
[4]No man that warreth entangleth
himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen
him to be a soldier.
[5]And if a man also strive for
masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.
[6]The husbandman that laboureth
must be first partaker of the fruits.
( Ephesians 4:11-14 ) [11]And he
gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some,
pastors and teachers;
[12]For the perfecting of the
saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
[13]Till we all come in the unity of
the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the
measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
[14]That we henceforth be no more
children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by
the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to
deceive;
6. THE
COURAGE OF THE CHRISTIAN TO FACE THE CONSEQUENCES OF FULFILLING THE GREAT
COMMISSION IS THE GREAT POTENTIAL FOR FRUITFULNESS.
( Acts 5:26-29 ) Then Peter
and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.
7. HUMILITY
AND TEARS ARE THE POTENTIAL OF THE CHRISTIAN TO BE FRUITFUL.
( Acts 20:19-21 ) [19]Serving
the Lord with all humility of mind, and with many tears, and temptations, which
befell me by the lying in wait of the Jews:
[20]And how I kept back nothing that
was profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publickly,
and from house to house,
[21]Testifying both to the Jews, and
also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus
Christ.
8. FAITHFULNESS
IN WINNING LOST PEOPLE MAKES THE CHRISTIAN FRUITFUL IN THEIR WALK WITH GOD
( I Corinthians 15:58 ) Therefore, my beloved brethren, be
ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as
ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
* God bless you
all always *
