ALWAYS BE READY TO WITNESS FOR JESUS
1Peter 3:15-16 (GNB)
But have reverence for Christ in your hearts, and honor him as Lord. Be ready at all times to answer anyone who asks you to explain the hope you have in you, but do it with gentleness and respect. Keep your conscience clear, so that when you are insulted, those who speak evil of your good conduct as followers of Christ will become ashamed of what they say.
Various opportunities are going to arise for you to preach the Gospel and manifest the life and power of God to people. If you are going to maximize such opportunities efficiently, then you must always be prepared for them. One way to prepare for such opportunities is to continually pray for God to bring such opportunities your way. Pray for God to prepare the hearts of those He wants you to minister to. Be sensitive to the leading of the Spirit and don’t hesitate when the opportunity comes knocking.

You have to always be excited about preaching the Gospel. Your feet should be covered with the shoes of the Gospel, or the preparation to preach the Gospel, (Eph.6:15). It is your understanding of the message of the Gospel that produces this joy and excitement in you. When you are excited and passionate about something, no one has to compel you to talk to others about it. Fill yourself with the message of the Gospel till Jesus and all He has done for you become so real and personal to you. As you preach the Gospel, you must let the love of God be your motive and driving force.
Love people and desire their salvation the same way God does. Let the same love that drove Christ to the Cross, always burn in your heart and drive you to witness to the lost.
Prayer:
Father, please help me recognize and maximize every opportunity you grant me to preach the Gospel and manifest Christ.
