Preach the gospel

“But there was a certain man, called Simon, which before time in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one:” 
Acts 8:9(KJV)

Our opening scripture tells us about a man named Simon who brought the entire Samaria under his control through sorcery; in other words through witchcraft. So if we are going to change the culture of the time, then we must realize that most of the practices of our day are from another kingdom.

When the whole of Samaria was bewitched by Simon they did not know that they were under a spell, in the same way today, there are many things that people are doing without knowing that what they are practicing is from hell. 1 John 5:19 says, “And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.”

This is why you have to understand that evangelism and missions is a kingdom thing, so when we go out to evangelize such communities that are bewitched in this way, we are actually carrying out spiritual warfare and invading such kingdoms so that we can reclaim that territory and her people from satan for Christ and the kingdom of God.

Therefore know that one of the armour we use in kingdom invasion is for your feet to be shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace -  See Ephesians 6:15. This is because through the preaching of the gospel we take territories, so I encourage you to get involved with the preaching of the gospel today because as you do and souls are saved, we are reclaiming new territories and lost territories for the kingdom of God.

PRAYER
Dear Father it is your will that none should perish but that all should come to the knowledge of the truth, therefore I ask that as the gospel of Jesus is been preached today, it shall be effective in reaching the lost in Jesus Name. Amen.

For further study read:
Acts 8:5-13, 2 Timothy 4:1-5, Mark 16:15-20.

DOING THE WORD
I encourage you to lead a soul to Christ today.
