Scripture to Read: John 16
We must fully realize God has called us to “multiplication.” As we share Him with the lost, God chooses to use us to transform their lives as they cross over from death to life. As we see lives transformed, the “multiplication” of His fruit coming forth is awesome! Because He’s called us to “multiply,” we should be further motivated to join Him in praying for those who still do not know Him yet. As we pray, we need to thank Him by praying John 16:8–11, which says, And He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment; 9 concerning sin, because they do not believe in Me; 10 and concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father and you no longer see Me; 11 and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged. The “He” in John 16:8–11 is God the Holy Spirit. So, even right now, the Holy Spirit is convicting all lost souls concerning sin, righteousness, and judgment. We must thank our Lord that He’s doing this incredible work in each lost soul on the face of the earth. We must also ask Him, according to Colossians 4:3–4, to open up opportunities for us to share His gospel with these lost souls so that we may speak to them the mystery of Christ and make the gospel clear in the way we ought to speak. God wants to use us in the ministry of “multiplication,” so let’s join Him in what He’s already doing and share Him boldly.
