Christians from all walks of life are called to prioritize their important task of gospel evangelization.
All believers must diligently propagate the gospel of Jesus Christ to everyone.
Christians must preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and make disciples of all nations.
Each Christian must understand that God is counting on him (or her) to preach the gospel.
We must all meet God’s mandate to populate his kingdom by preaching to people of all languages, nations, and tribes.
We must reach out to all races for the sake of winning them for Christ.
No Christian should assume the task of gospel evangelism belongs to someone else.
All believers – without exception – are called to preach the gospel. Therefore, every Christian must consider this important task as his primary assignment.
The bible declares,
“I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom: Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables” (2 Timothy 4:1-4).
Believers must preach the gospel to give other people an opportunity to receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.

FACT - No.5
Gospel evangelization is not bound with church denominations.
A person who relies on church affiliation as his basic need to preach gospel has missed the mark!
Church affiliation can provide support to aid the process of spreading the gospel, however, it is not a requirement.
In fact, Christians who crisscross their evangelistic efforts with multiple church denominations may record more success for God.
Consider working with believers from various denominations who can exercise their spiritual gifts for God.
Some Odds That A Christian Must Overcome to Preach Gospel
SELF
A Christian must focus on God rather than focusing on himself in order to receive the strength needed to preach the gospel.
“You are what you are by the grace of God.” Therefore you must consider it a priority to preach while you still have the breath of life in you.
In actuality, the day you stop preaching the gospel should be the day you die!
PERSECUTION
Christians would face resistance for the sake of the gospel. Every believer must understand the mandate placed on him to keep preaching the gospel while he fights his odds.
Don’t wait till you can overcome all your problems before sharing your faith with others.
LACK OF RESOURCES
Human wants are insatiable. No matter what you have, you will always need more! Therefore, it is wise for every Christian to manage his limited resources and preach the gospel effectively.
A good Christian will keep performing his religious exercise while he is still trusting God for more needed provisions.
As a Christian,
- Education must not be your barrier!
- Money must not be your barrier!
- Time must not be your barrier!
- Any other resources must not be your barrier!
LACK OF FOCUS
A Christian who forgets he would be rewarded by God for effectively preaching gospel may be tempted to slow down his efforts.

No believer should forget that God will reward him in heaven for his good services.
You will have more honor in heaven if you can effectively preach the gospel of Jesus Christ!
