Boldly Proclaim!
Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who are willing to open their mouth boldly to proclaim the Gospel. In Jesus’ name, amen.
What does it mean to be bold? Synonyms include: brave, daring, and courageous. Why is boldness in spiritual matters so important? The most common reasons are probably fear of rejection and dislike of confrontation.
Pray for boldness before sharing. Why? God can give you confidence and exactly the right words to say. Your tone of voice and the words you use may fit perfectly into God’s plan.
Apostle Paul was held in chains when he wrote Ephesians 6:18-20 (ESV):
“…To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints, and also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak.”
Boldly proclaim the Good News. What you share may be the beginning of another person’s journey to faith. Just casually mention what Jesus has done in your life. Your words may not impact them now, but years later they may think back and remember what you said.
