I'm finally in a new cell group with some old friends and new faces. The service yesterday was great. Although much of it was about outreach and evangelism, one can be able to use the pointers discussed during the service to win people not just over to our faith but to our influence as well.
Jesus' Way of Evangelizing: (Luke 19:10, Matthew 4:17)
Be availableDo not be biased when it comes to the gospelBe sensitive to sinnersSpend time into the lives of sinnersSecure a public confessionBut the most essential thing above all is your availability. It's not how much you know, or how much you can do for God, but rather, it's how much time you have in order to invest in the lives of these people.
I've been busy but thank God I still have a bit of time to meet up with some close friends of mine every once in a while to catch up with them.
Another great part of the sermon, which is very practical in terms of how this can be used not just in reaching out but also in our daily life.
Read Luke 10:1-3Luke 10:5 -> Go and bless others
Luke 10:7 -> Fellowshipping and availing yourself
Luke 10:8-9 -> Meet the needs of others
Luke 10:10 -> Preach the gospel when their hearts are opened
To bless is to speak well; to encourage and to praise someone. Therefore, here's a similar list of how one can do to win more friends in the secular world:
1. Go and bless others -> Compliments are certainly the best tool to boost the confidence of people around your circle of trust. Praises, words of affirmations and compliments are what draw people to like you even more. Instead of having mouth filled with dirty words and negativity, having a glib tongue will bring success to one's career and relationships.
2. Fellowshipping and availing yourself -> Being available is very important. It is the same as being there for a friend in need, or a boss in need or when a company is in need or crisis. This is a very useful tool in order to tell people that you are reliable, effective and efficient.
3. Meet the needs of others -> Find a need and meet it; find a hurt and heal it. This is what everybody should do in such a time like this. We are living a world filled with crisis, chaos and uncertainty. A friend who is sincere enough to offer a helping hand for someone in need of love, compassion and acceptance is someone who is indeed rare. This, however, is a good chance to adopt this third strategy in order to become a winsome person. Everybody likes a winsome person anyway.
4. Preach the gospel when their hearts are open -> Not just the gospel, but rather, sharing of business strategies, school project ideas, and other forms of interaction can then begin. Why is this so? Because once you've shown others that you are able to compliment and praise, be reliable, effective and efficient, as well as meeting their needs, starting a lasting friendship with them is all so possible! A friendship is an alliance. It is also a relationship. It is something where the parties share common goals and help one another out whenever possible. It is something where the parties engage in a project that empowers one another to succeed.
Picture this: If you are able to win a friend's heart over to yours, you can do anything in this world and there's nothing that could possibly stop you from achieving it... except God.
