Warm greetings Parishioners, on this beautiful Sunday morning.
We have been examining the series:
SEVEN FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES FOR SPIRITUAL GROWTH
Recall,
Step one Principle for Spiritual Growth is: LEARN TO FORGET
Step two Principle for Spiritual Growth is: LEARN TO FORGIVE
STEP THREE: LEARN TO PRAY
STEP FOUR: LEARN TO BELIEVE
STEP FIVE: LEARN TO WORSHIP
STEP SIX: LEARN TO GIVE
Today we would be looking at the Seventh step For Spiritual Growth and concluding part of this series which is:
STEP SEVEN: LEARN TO WITNESS
To experience Spiritual development we need to learn to witness for the Lord.
Jesus stated that Believers we are to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit so we would become witnesses for Him. That was one of the purposes of the endowment of power from on high:
But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and YE SHALL BE WITNESSES UNTO ME.....
ACT 1:8
KING JAMES VERSION
The greatest witness you can be to the world is to live a life that is sold out to the Lord. Like the old proverb says, "what you are speak so loud, I cant hear what you say"
Our Personality witnesses to people. We should witness as the need arises but, we shouldn't force the gospel on people.
We should be led by the Holy Spirit when we witness to other people about the Lord. Otherwise we would waste our time, and they won't be open to what we are saying.
The greatest witnessing tool is a life really lived for the Lord. So learn to witness as you are led by the Holy Spirit.
But first and foremost, be a witness. It is important to your Spiritual growth.
So apply yourself to learn these Seven Fundamental Principles for Spiritual Growth and don't get frustrated because, Spiritual growth is not an overnight process.
Just take a step at a time. As you learn to forget, to forgive, to pray, to believe, to worship, to give and to witness, you will be well on your way to Spiritual maturity.
God bless you.
It has been a wonderful series on seven fundamental principles to fundamental growth,
Yes, I learnt alot. And the last one, learn to witness, witness of true and not of lies, witness of the most high and not an hypocrites.
Thanks for sharing @sc-n.

Someone said: We have recorded in the Bible 4 Gospel: (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John), but there is a fifth gospel, and it is the one that most people read: Your Testimony. Precisely the way you live life is a style of evangelism. Good Post @sc-n

Our lives are mirrors that people see and the gospel/Bible that unbelievers read.

In reality, it is necessary to live a witness life and holy life. Why Holy ? Because our God is Holy and it is not everyone will we have access to preach to, but our holy life can attract some people and draw them closer to God and by that we become a witness one way or another.

As a christian ,our life of witness is important because the so called unbelievers will never read the bible for guidelines.Rather,all they do is study our pattern of life and make conclusions. May God give us the spirit of. Consciousness so as not to lead people back to devil with our character.

From personal experience, trying or hard times may tend to make our faith/belief in God waver.
But, keep believing.
You shall surely come out victorious.
You can develop your faith through fellowship and personal searching of the Scritures and reading and declaring God's promises for your life.
The Bible says, Faith cometh by Hearing and Hearing of the word of God.
May God grant you the grace to trust him more.

There's no other better way of preaching (and witnessing) Christ to others, other than living out what you profess. I mean, we know this popular statement : "Act what you preach." Acting otherwise will amount to hypocrisy and vain religiosity.
Thanks for the lovely series @sc-n.
Kind regards.

These are great 7 fundamental principles to spiritual growth. I have learned a lot from all the points mentioned. Witnessing should be like a normal thing to believers. How then will they believe if we don't tell people about Him? The amazing thing is that, we can witness to people anywhere, but just like you pointed out, we ought not be aggressive about it.
Thank you for sharing & God bless @sc-n
