3 Steps to Being a KINGDOM BUILDER in Your Life Today - Part 3ಮಾದರಿ

Next, we come to the letter “N” in our 5-letter guide to sharing your faith: “BRING the Good News.”

After the last reading—which some of you may have found more than a bit stressful—here comes the stress relief: the letter “N” stands for “No Worries… about what they will think or what you will say.”

As you prepare to move from BLESSing someone to sharing the Good News, remember that God Himself will help you – but only if you take the first step in obedience.

The writers of the gospels affirm this, even where you may be demanded to give an account of your faith:

“But when they arrest you, do not worry about what to say or how to say it. At that time you will be given what to say, for it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.” – Matthew 10:19-20

“Whenever you are arrested and brought to trial, do not worry beforehand about what to say. Just say whatever is given you at the time, for it is not you speaking, but the Holy Spirit.” – Mark 13:11

“When you are brought before synagogues, rulers and authorities, do not worry about how you will defend yourselves or what you will say, for the Holy Spirit will teach you at that time what you should say.” – Luke 12:11-12

In all cases, the Bible is telling you not to worry – even if you get arrested for your faith.

Now, you are most likely not under threat of arrest for sharing your faith. Your biggest enemy might just be yourself – “What will they think?” and, “What if I look foolish?”.

But no worries!

If God’s promise holds up for those under arrest, then surely He is there to help you as well in your conversations with coworkers, friends, family, and neighbors, isn’t He?

Just be sure to pray as you go to BLESS others, listen to them as you look for the opportunity to ask questions that move the conversation to a deeper personal level, and then speak up with words of hope when you feel led to do so.

Not every conversation will be about sharing your Testimony, but every conversation is meant to give hope and offer your help, even with prayer when appropriate! And then, eventually, the time will come for you to share your Testimony as they start asking you about what you believe and why you believe it.

Your message of hope will be just what they need to hear. Just don’t worry about pushing it forward too fast or the exact details of what you might say as you engage in conversation to build up to that moment.

Remember, God is in control, and He has it all planned out for you – and your friend, neighbor, family member, or coworker too!
