Why Do Christians Still Go Out On Outreah? by DyshApp: 4:40pm On Jul 13, 2023
The idea of missionaries in far-flung places may seem archaic or outdated. It may even come with connotations of colonialism. However, Jesus' great commission to take His message of salvation to the ends of the Earth - still stands. There are billions of people on the planet who still don't know Him, and He has tasked us with carrying the good news to every corner of the globe. In this final session of the series.

Just before His ascension, Jesus said to His disciples, 'Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely, I am with you always, to the very end of the age' (Matthew 28:19-201. Does Jesus put a time limit on this command? What guarantee does He offer to those who take His message all over the world?

we're all missionaries commissioned by Jesus to be witnesses for Him. Paul reiterates in various letters to the early churches that we are to live out our faith amongst unbelievers, to draw them to Jesus.(Philippians 4:14-191

Tying in with Jesus' great commission given in Matthew 28, in Acts 1:8. He says. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the Earth.

Jesus told us clearly not to worry about money. Even if you have little to live on, that's ok for such a time as this. There is no pit so deep that God can't rescue you. Remember that it's in testing times that your obedience unlocks God's blessing.

He can use any almost-empty jar to meet the needs around you. Let's pray, read God's Word, and stay sensitive to the Holy Spirit. Let's trust God with our resources and share generously and cheerfully with those in need and with those who have given their lives to frontline missions and ministry. And may God's peace fill us with hope and joy.

The problem is that we are too settled. If every Christian took gospel seriously like Paul did we would have lots of converts.
Then again we cannot act aside the will of God, except he gives you the go ahead it can be a risky move. But I am convinced that God would give the go ahead to a Christian if he genuinely asks God that he wants to preach the gospel to the unreached places

Our friend doesn't know that it's a privilege to be part of those working with the angel that's taking the everlasting good news to the ends of the earth in our time! Revelations 14:6 Compare to Matthew 24:14

The end will soon be here and guess what they are happily taking selfies which will serve as a reminder when we enter God's kingdom.

Today many are taking selfies just as many were going about their day to day activities in Noah's time and Lot's time but they're all gone now, by the time Noah and Lot are resurrected these people in that picture will show them how they were going from village to village doing the Lord's work it's just part of the things that Abel, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses Lot, Job, David, Elijah and many ancient servants of God couldn't do in their time. Thanks to world's technology we have pictures and videos of how we are doing God's will in this last days! smiley

The true God has already answered because when Jesus was commissioning this movement known as CHRISTIANITY today his disciples were confused as in devastated.

WHY?

They knew from the scriptures that the Christ will establish a New Covenant and only Jews will be actively doing what the New Covenant says so that people of all other nations can benefit through the active preaching and teaching of Jews! Zechariah 8:23

But instead of the Jews to rejoice for having the Christ in their midst they were demanding what is not to be done hastily: they wanted the Christ to take over the world's government and most especially overthrow Rome that's dominating them at that time.

So because Jesus told them it's not the time to do that that rejected him and treated him with contempt the same way they've always done with faithful prophets of old {Matthew 23:37-38} that's why Jesus told them that the kingdom has been taken away from them {Matthew 21:43} the Jews became so enraged that they made a decree to expel anyone who profess faith in Jesus. John 9:22

So Jesus disciples asked him:

“Look! We have left all things and followed you; what, then, will there be for us?” Matthew 19:27

Now this was Jesus' response to them:

“Truly I say to you, no one has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for my sake and for the sake of the good news who will not get 100 times more now in this period of time—houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and fields, with persecutions—and in the coming system of things, everlasting life. Mark 10:29-30

Let's leave out the everlasting life for now since that will come later but let's focus on someone having families throughout the earth and lots of satisfying works to do in the ministry without expecting material gains.

Only Jehovah's Witnesses have this today so if we are to go by what Jesus told his faithful disciples God has blessed the ministry of Jehovah's Witnesses! smiley

with false jw's it's all about self, and selfies of course

lost false jw mad max

so funny, today you false jw's sing praises about what you do, and even in God's Kingdom you will be singing praises about what you have done



Christianity isn't about Christ's followers, it's about Christ
for Christians it's not all about what we have done but about what Christ has done for us

2Pe 3:18  but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.

Your outreach are always counterproductive.

Your targets are never Muslims, Atheists, Hinduists, Bhuddists and every non Christians to win souls for Christ. Rather, your targets are always fellow Christ'ians who belong to other denominations.

This is how Paul did his outreach

Acts 17:17 Therefore disputed he in the synagogue with the Jews, and with the devout persons, and in the market daily with them that met with him.

He will go straight into the synagogue.

You know what synagogue was?
It was the worship place of Judaism, just like the mosque.

No wonder Jesus, Paul and the martyrs were killed.

But all you winners
All you Christ embassy
All you Jehovah witness
All you deeper life
All you rccg etc

And some will do alter call inside church saying they are winning souls, nor be juju be that?
How many Muslims, Traditionalists, Hinduists, Atheists person dey see inside church?

Scammers!

Ya all are joking when it comes to outreach, you ain't no doing the real thing but eye service so that people will not get talking that you are not following the footsteps of Jesus, Paul and the early Christians.

Ya'll ain't sincere

Definitely you don't even understand what the synagogues stands for!
Synagogues are worship centers where Jews meet for their sacred service to God, it stands as the religion of Jews where the name of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is sanctified not mosques where they worship an Arabian god. If we're to go by your analogy Jesus and Paul aren't supposed to go into the synagogue to convert anyone because the Jews their are worshiping the same God that Jesus and Paul want to preach! undecided
That's why they were attacked by their own people (Jews) not idol worshipers {Act 14:2} Christ and all those killed in the first century were killed not by idol worshipers but by their own people (Jews) who supposed to be worshipers of the same God of Abraham!
So you need to be enlightened on this matter.

We Jehovah's Witnesses strongly believe that if you're not one of us then you are not a believer in our God so no matter the religion you belong to we will preach our God to you that's why we go from house to house and door to door except worship centers belonging to other religions, as long as you're human we must preach the kingdom of God to you.
The secret is that none of you understand what God's kingdom means, you people always say you're going to heaven whereas the kingdom of God according to Jesus will come to the earth! Matthew 6:10
That's why you people fight and kill your fellow believers in your God while we show love to everyone {Matthew 5:43-48} instead of killing we have vowed never to raise weapons against anyone in the name of politics or racism {Isaiah 2:2-4} but what of you people?
When politics and racism calls you people will carry weapons claiming you're defending your country and the next thing is killing indiscriminately even if the person from the other countries is your fellow church member you will kill him.
That's what Jesus commanded us never to do in fact we must be prepared to die for our fellow believers if the need arises {John 13:34-35} so in what way are you people believers in Christ Jesus?
That's why we can never ever count you people as believers in Christ! smiley

I say it is worship place for the Jews. You say it is worship centre, what is then the difference?

, it stands as the religion of Jews
is the religion of the Jews Christianity?

There are many monotheistic religions that worship the same God with Christianity but they are not of the same faith with Christianity.
Examples are Judaism, Buddhiism and Islam.

By Jesus, Peter and Paul's standard of outreach, these Juddaists, Muslims or Buddhists need to be saved that's why Jesus and Paul went to their synagues to convert them.

Romans 10:1 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.

Imagine, after all the great things these isrealites did for God in the old testament, yet they still need to be saved

But, how many times have you Jehovah witnesses ever preach to Muslims about Jesus, talkless of you people going into their mosque to convert them?
There has never been any such thing.

Rather you are looking for fellow Christians in catholic, winners, rccg, deeper life, Christ embassy etc to convert.
Is your outreach not a show of eye service same with that of all these churches like that?

You people have turn Christianity into a joke like a farmer who is avoiding the field and is looking for fruits to harvest inside his own storage.

Jews believe they're worshipers of the same God that Jesus and his disciples are preaching but they disagree with the idea that salvation could only be through Jesus' teachings {John 14:6} they want Jesus and his disciples to tell people that both Pharisees, Sadducees and all other Jewish religions had God's approval just as you're expecting us to accept different sects with contradicting teachings and conflicting doctrines today as Christians! wink

The group name "CHRISTIANS" was borrowed in an ancient city known as "Antioch" {Act 11:26} that's not the name God gave his own worshipers but Christ made us understand that the name "CHRISTIANS" will serve as a trap for Satan's agents until the endtime.
How?
Immediately after Jesus' ascension Satan began attacking his disciples from all sides and who were the persecutors of this group back then? They were Jews claiming they believe in the God of Abraham who promised to send the Messiah but they just don't want Jesus as their Messiah so they were battle prepared to kill anyone saying Jesus is the Christ (Messiah)
But despite all the attacks Jesus' disciples will not surrender {Act 5:29} that's why Satan changed to plan B (if you can't beat them lead them) He began initiating numerous groups all claiming Christians but not submissive to the apostles that's what John who lived longer than all the other apostles experienced before his death! 1John 2:18-19
So don't think different religions claiming they believe in Jesus today are Christians, if they're not having the same line of thought as Jesus prayed for {John 17:22} they're not Christians! 1Corinthians 1:10; Ephesians 4:3

There's no difference between these religions you listed and different religions claiming they believe in Jesus with contradicting teachings and conflicting doctrines Satan is just brandishing his agents with different tags {2Corinthians 11:14} as long as they're not having the same line of thought regarding sacred service to God they're not worshipers of the same God!

We shouldn't enter into their place of worship because by doing so you can't have a one on one discussion with each of them, don't forget that salvation is a personal thing not conventional. Christians going to reason with Jews in the synagogues back then believe the same books (Genesis to Malachi) that's why it's reasonable to do so if you're not believing the same books you can't convince them in their place of worship unless you meet them one on one!

If you're not one of Jehovah's Witnesses you can't be a real Christian you're just carrying a tag.

Hello!
Is your mind here? grin

How does this analogy you put up here correlate?

The point is, you don't have any choice but to accept these sects you claim to reject being that they are all saved through faith in Christ. Otherwise, you would have totally ignored them a long time ago rather than you jw's bashing them with your outreach and doctrines they have clearly rejected and have ignored you jws to do your thing.

And moreover,the Pharisees and the saducees in the bible were never of the same faith with Christians so your analogy that i want you to accept Christians just like the Jews want Jesus and his disciples to accept the Pharisees and the saducees DOES NOT FOLLOW.

You know what it means to say a statement in relation to another statement does not follow.?

It's a fallacy called Non sequitur.

Needless to point, your jw teachings are always full of fallacies the reason being that the founder of your organization was a primary school drop out, how will he possibly understand fallacies?
And you allow a primary school drop out to manipulate your brains?
Wow! grin

Go back and read those scriptures again whether you will see Jehovah witnesses specifically mentioned there talkess of the scripture mentioning rivalry between jw and Christians .
Then, if it is not Jehovah witness how do they teach you to conclude that the scripture has anything to do with it jehovah witnesses ?

This is one of the reason your teachings are full of fallacies

but they're rejecting Jehovah's Witnesses just as all first century Jewish religions were rejecting Jesus and his disciples. John 15:19

Another fallacy!
No correlation in this statement that will warrant a right thinking person to jump into conclusions like this

Ofcourse when a falsehood is very obvious it will always stand out clearly.

I know there are falsehood among Christians too, but this your own is very clear like, mehn!
For more than a century now people are still following a teaching/doctrine that a primary school drop out formulated a century ago.
