The hard truth about Evangelism (Soul Winning)
One thing (truth) you must know about evangelism is that not everyone will accept the gospel. Some will hate you for the gospel despite your dedication and sincerity. In the parable of the Sower and seed, Christ Jesus gave us some revelation about evangelism.
And when much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city, he spake by a parable:
A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.
And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.
And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it.
And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Luke 8:4-8
After the Sower (the preacher) evangelized, some seeds (preaching and teaching of the gospel) fell by the wayside. People rejected the seeds, and fowls of the air destroyed them.
These are the people who will reject and disdain your preaching and teaching.
They allow the demons to steal the Word of God out of their hearts. Don’t be offended when you encounter these people during evangelism. There is another set of people who allows the challenges of life to destroy the sermons you have preached.
These people need a lot of follow-ups (encouragement). Some people will accept the gospel and bless you, so do not be worried when others reject your gospel. There will be some haters and lovers.
Keep up the good work (evangelism and prayers). Christ Jesus faced opposition and acceptance in his ministry. We will also meet the challenges, rejections, and blessings.
Evangelize from your heart because Christ Jesus has overcome the world (see John 16:33).
