KEY SCRIPTURE 1Ti 2:7 KJV” Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.”

Apostle Paul states in 1 Timothy 2:6 that our Lord Jesus gave his life as a ransom for all men. He also says that God has chosen him to be a preacher to all Gentiles. This was his ministry. Rom 11:13 KJV “For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:” He admits his special call and declares that he magnifies his office. To magnify has the following meanings: to praise, to celebrate, to impart glory, and to render it excellent. Apostle Paul says he attends to these calls with his perfect commitment. He means it is of premium dedication. He demonstrated this by sacrificing his life for the course.

Let’s consider some of the things he had to go through to fulfil this calling.2 nd Corinth 11:Much labours, abundant stripes above measure, more frequent in prisons, five times received forty stripes, three times beaten with rods, stoned once, thrice he suffered shipwreck, for a full day was in deep waters, perils of waters, perils of robbers, and a countless traumas that he had to face so he would fulfil this ministry of carrying the gospel to the Gentiles. ( Paul was told he had to suffer all these; you are not.)

The Lord has called every one of us to be witnesses of His gospel. Joh 15:16 KJV “Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.” Dear reader, this message from the Lord is to each of us. Whether we would be successful or not depends on whether we magnify this call as Paul did, or we do not. Apostle Paul did not endure all that trouble because he was strong-willed, no. He did it because he decided to obey the task the master gave him. He not only decided but also committed himself to doing it. The next thing that happened to him was a reception of God’s grace. It was the grace of God that made Him so successful.
Grace only goes into action when we believe and commit ourselves to doing what we have been instructed.

Dear child of God, it is your turn to project the course of the gospel. Decide today that you will share the gospel with the rest of men who have not come into the knowledge of this glorious message. You may be asking what I say to them. Well, you need to learn the word yourself. Listen to evangelistic messages. On this very platform, I have shared lots of messages on how to preach or share the gospel with others. You can also share your personal testimonies with them. Yoy can read the messages on some gospel tracts and share them with your friends. The most important thing is to have a strong passion to see men saved from the power of sin. Stop considering your weaknesses, but rather consider the urgency of the call and the plight of the sinner, if he is to die in his sins. Love the Lord, love the lost sinner

THOUGHT: DECIDE TO BE A CARRIER OF THE GOSPEL, ACT ON IT, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT WOULD DO THE REST
