'Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, And I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay.' (Jer 20:9)
I pray God gives you the Jeremiah experience. 'Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay' (Jer 20:9) when Jeremiah resolved not to speak God's word again, the word became fire burning his bones so that he could not but speak out. Paul says: 'For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!' (1 Cor 9:16).
There should be something inside you that compels you to preach the Gospel to those you meet. Compassion is one. Unsaved people are already sentenced to hell. It is accepting the Gospel message that removes that sentence. There is also woe - judgment on believers who refuse to preach to others, as the blood of the sinners will be on their heads. Nobody's blood will be on my head - I take soul winning to be extremely important. Do not allow shyness, a low education level, procrastination, lack of money and other excuses to prevent you from sharing the Good News. Your reward will be great.
What stands in the way of your plan to share the Gospel with others? Deal with it and go ahead and preach the word.
