TOPIC: GOING WITH THE GOSPEL
TEXT: MARK 16:14-20
16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.
20 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.
MEMORY VERSE: “And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen” (MARK 16:20).
MESSAGE:
As Christ charged His then disciples when He appeared unto them as observed in our text, His mandate to every saved youth today is for him or her to go with the glad tidings of the gospel into all the world. The task of soul winning must continue till Christ returns.

You can share the gospel in your school with your seatmate during break time; or give tracks to your school mates and invite them to fellowship programmes.
Ignatius of Loyola said, “Teach us to serve Thee as Thou deserves, to give and not count the cost, to fight and not heed the wounds. To toil and not seek for rest. To labour and not ask for any reward save that of knowing that we do thy will.”

However, if you are not born again, your preaching will be a stumbling block to unbelievers and abomination in the sight of God. It is pertinent therefore that you ensure you are a real child of God before preaching. Repent of your negligence if you are saved; and reach out with a sense of urgency.
QUOTE: Repent of your negligence.
CHALLENGE: Do not be silent; preach!
PRAYER: Lord, give me fresh passion for souls.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
