BIBLE READING: Luke 9:1-2
1 Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.
2 And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.
MESSAGE:
Many people think that evangelism is all about talking or preaching about the gospel of Jesus; however, it is beyond these. The people you meet when you go out to evangelise might have some challenges they want God to solve for them. This is where prayer comes in, and that was why Jesus empowered His disciples when He sent them to preach in today’s Bible reading. I learnt from experience that prayer is an effective Way to capture the attention of people during evangelism. Simply tell people you would like to evangelise to that you would like to pray for them concerning any need(s) they may have. They may be reluctant to listen to the gospel, but they likely will not refuse prayers.
Many years ago, I taught some youths this tip of praying for the needs of people during evangelical outreaches. Then, one day, they met a herbalist who was very antagonistic to the gospel during one of their evangelical outreaches. They told him that they were aware of his powers, and then asked if there was anything he had not been able to solve with them. He told them how his previous wives bled to death while putting to bed, and his current wife, who was pregnant, was also bleeding and was at the point of death. The youths prayed a simple prayer for his wife and left. They had not gone far when the herbalist called them back to testify that his wife had stopped bleeding and that he was ready to surrender his life to Jesus Christ. My dear child, prayer has always been a very effective tool for evangelism and should be deployed if you want to experience fruitful and effective evangelism.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR
Mark 14:1-25, Deuteronomy 17-19
HYMN 22: Sweet Hour Of Prayer! Sweet Hour Of Prayer!
1 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
that calls me from a world of care,
and bids me at my Father’s throne
make all my wants and wishes known.
In seasons of distress and grief,
my soul has often found relief,
and oft escaped the tempter’s snare
by thy return, sweet hour of prayer!
2 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
the joys I feel, the bliss I share
of those whose anxious spirits burn
with strong desires for thy return!
With such I hasten to the place
where God my Savior shows his face,
and gladly take my station there,
and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!
3 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
thy wings shall my petition bear
to him whose truth and faithfulness
engage the waiting soul to bless.
And since he bids me seek his face,
believe his word, and trust his grace,
I’ll cast on him my every care,
and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!
