INTRODUCTION

God has called the saved to be ambassadors (2 Corinthians 5:20Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.
See All...), and as such, they are to take His truth to a lost and dying world. This message must be communicated. As those who are redeemed lose their ability to communicate with others (previously known or unknown), they lose the ability to effectually communicate their faith. The weakening of communication skills has brought about a drought of witnessing. How few people will stand on a street corner and communicate the words of God? How few will knock on a door and tell a stranger that he must be born again? The saved must once again be willing to go forth and tell kin or stranger alike that Jesus saves.

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHTS

• (For smaller children) In Psalm 89:l, the psalmist said he would use his mouth to tell what God had done for him. We should not fear for God is with us (Isaiah 41:13For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.
  See All...). Read these examples from the book of Acts of people who used their mouths for the Lord (Acts 5:18-21 [18] And laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in the common prison. [19] But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and brought them forth, and said, [20] Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life. [21] And when they heard that, they entered into the temple early in the morning, and taught. But the high priest came, and they that were with him, and called the council together, and all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.
  See All...a; Acts 8:35Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.
  See All...; Acts 16:32And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.
  See All...; Acts 18:26And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly.
  See All...).
• Are you saved? If so, what is the bulk of your communication with those who do not know Jesus as their Saviour? Are you ashamed of the gospel of Christ (Romans 1:16For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
  See All...)?
• What hinders you from telling others about what the Lord has done in your life? Why are you so fearful of telling them that Jesus Christ came to die for their sins?

PRAYER NEEDS

• Ask the Lord to conquer your fears so you can witness to others.
• Ask God to teach you how to communicate your faith.
