Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Matthew 9:37. Continuing with what we were talking about yesterday we will look at more key things you can do on your cell phone to bring people to Christ.
The third one is to be intentional in what you do on your cell phone to bring people to Christ. You can put a post out there for everyone to see inviting them to church, a life group, for coffee, or just proclaim the good news on the phone. Posting a blanket post or a blanket text or blanket tweet is not as effective as being intentional. That may reach somebody, but will that last for that person? I do not have an answer for whether it could last or it could not last. What I am here and know is that the more intentional we are, the more of what we pour into someone's life will last and be lasting verse not being intentional.
So then, be careful how you walk, not as unwise people but as wise, Ephesians 5:15. Just like the verse says we are to be careful, I think you could insert intentional, and it has the same meaning. We are not to walk like the unwise but be intentional about how we walk so as to walk like the wise. Jesus didn't just do something to do something He was always intentional in what He did, we should do and be the same. In our cell phones, we should be intentional in everything we do as it pertains to this message of using our cell phones to bring people to Christ. As I said the more intentional, we are the more what we pour into someone's life will last and be lasting. I will keep mentioning that because I want that to sink into your brain. I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:14. Paul was intentional in going towards that which God had called Him to do.
The tools we use today may be different as I said, from years ago, but the message is still the same to win souls for Christ and His Kingdom. So, we need to be intentional about how we use these tools and use them for the purpose of bringing people to Christ.
Earlier in the message, you talked about in a sense what not to do in bringing people on our cell phones. But I never talked about how to be intentional in what we are to do on our cell phones to bring people to Christ that was intentional. To close the message for today I felt led to end with how to be intentional in bringing people to Christ on our cell phones.
6 things you can do to be intentional to bring people to Christ.
Select one person you can message and invite them to a life group or church or coffee.
Write a note or message that you are praying for a specific person.
Create a conversation with one person and ask them about what they know about Jesus and His Kingdom.
Go out of your way and call the person whom you selected. What a concept we cannot fathom today actually calling someone.
Send a picture of a verse or of Jesus to that one person you selected.
See what I did there, I only said select one and bring them to Christ. that is more intentional than telling everyone to come to Christ. In all things I listed and everything you can come up with because I do not have time to mention them all pray for what you will do and be intentional in what you do, and when you do it. that doesn't mean you cannot have more than one but only bring one at a time for you are more personal and intentional in who you bring to Christ. So, the more intentional, we are the more what we pour into someone's life will last and be lasting.
