Our Daily Manna Devotional November 18, 2017

It was Dave Harvey who quipped: “Everything in the Scripture is either preparation for the Gospel, presentation of the gospel, or participation in the gospel.”He was on target! Then I remember David McGee: “We should be more concerned with preaching the lost than pampering the saved.”Again he is on point; so true! No wonder years ago, a stranger asked a Christian painter: “What is your business?” His reply? “My business is to preach the gospel, but I paint houses to pay my expenses.”

Now I ask you, what is your business? Is it driving, buying and selling, teaching, plumbing, cooking, Pharmacy, Photography, Medicine, Engineering, Accounting, Administration, preaching as a profession, or preaching the gospel as a calling etc? Any job you are doing today will end someday. Only what is done for Christ will last! Let your evangelism altar receive fresh fire again as 2017 ends and 2018 begins. Imagine the fire and zeal the woman in Today’s Scripture used in drawing her people (the Samaritans) to Christ.

The human body contains about 70% water! You know how water is important to everyone, yet she left her water pot (Vs 28). When did you do that last? When did you leave your “water pot” (job, husband, children, business, your sleep, money, your car, TV, your prestige and reputation etc), and told men, “come and see the man who delivered me from hell.” Tell God to destroy shame, greed for money, laziness and take back by force, the evangelism fire of old

Oh! Hear Charles Haddon Spurgeon: “Have you not wish for others to be saved? Then you are not saved yourself, be sure of that! Wow! Very harsh but correct! Please preach in the bus, market places, schools, T-junctions street corners, and do early morning cries. Pay for a radio/T.V. slot for your local ministry or this ODM  vision if you can! At every available opportunity, open your mouth: “Scarifies your water pot (your physical of financial comfort)! 2 Tim. 4:2says: “Preach the Word (gospel) in season (when convenient) and out of season (when not convenient).
