Free to share The Gospel

19 agustus 2013

Hi, I am Yogi. I am come from Bali Indonesia.

I want to share our experience today.

This is  the second day of the  Indonesian Independence day. So for Indonesian people like me, it still feels like Independence Day.  If we have been redeemed in Christ, we have freedom in Christ everyday!

Somebody may say that freedom is all about the permission to do. Others say that freedom means living in righteousness. May I propose that the real freedom means that we are doing all the right things in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Today is our first day of EE clinic at Universitas Dhyana Pura. As the representative of Balinese Church, pastor Made Budiarsa gave us a sermon taken from Gospel of John 15:16. 4 principles to be learnt from there :

1.       Multiplication is not just a number of The Church attendance, but most importantly are about discipleship in Christ Jesus.

2.       We must bring the words of GOD and be the bearer of the Good News

3.       What we have in Evangelism Explosion method is the golden bridge to reach out to the people.

4.       We are to be ready at all times to be sent out to share the good News.

After that we start the clinic with 5 women from Indonesia as a participant of EE. They are: Linda, Laura, Vicka, Rai and Wati. The 6 points were Grace, sin, God, Christ, Faith and Commitment. Learning was made simple through the gospel hand illustration and dramas. We had an enjoyable day of learning.

At 4 pm we went to Seminyak Square to share the gospel and praise The Lord so many people heard of the Good News although not all of them receive Jesus as Savior and Lord.

After that we went to Kerobokan to have a dinner at Rev Kt Arka’s family’s residence.

Reflection:

Galatian 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

As Christians who already possess eternal life, God already set us free from sin and we are free to do just about anything to glorify HIS name.  We give thanks and praise to The Lord our God for the opportunity to have a clinic to equip others to share a good news and also opportunity to find somebody to share the gospel. The devil does not like very much a Christian who has the freedom in Christ to do His will, therefore we must stay alert not to fall into a lifestyle of sin.

Finally, we believe that there are brothers and sisters out there who are praying for us. I hope that from now onwards, we will join our hands and hearts to pray together for each other so that many people will set them free from evil and sin. Amen.
