Since we gave our lives to Christ our have not been the same. We have seen God work mightily. Extra ordinary signs and wonders in one way or another have followed us since we made the decision to follow Christ. Now, for the past times Christ has been personalized and people have kept him quietly inside. Christ is not meant to be kept silence with in one he is meant to be proclaimed across streets, valleys countries and around the world. So, what keeps us from proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ? After all Christ has done in our lives is it right for me to stay quite of all the things we have done.
1 Cor. 9:16
For when I preach the gospel, I cannot boast, since I am compelled to preach. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel! 17 If I preach voluntarily, I have a reward; if not voluntarily, I am simply discharging the trust committed to me. 18 What then is my reward? Just this: that in preaching the gospel I may offer it free of charge, and so not make full use of my rights as a preacher of the gospel
The word gospel in Greek is euaggelizō- to bring good news, to announce glad tidings. It has been entrusted in us to share the goodness of God. We who are week and fragile who one day were destined to die God has placed in us the message of the gospel; the treasure of the kingdom (2Cor.4:7). The transforming message of Jesus Christ has to be delivered by all means possible, and at any time; in seasons and out of season (2 Tim. 4:2). Paul was speaking to the church that if he did it willingly it would have its rewards, but if unwillingly then it would become a commission. Now a commission is a charge that regardless of how one felt or in what situation he/she might be it had to be done. One might say, God does not force us we have free will, and that is true to certain extent. God always provides us the opportune time and circumstance to elaborate on the gospel; the good tidings.
Many of us today have not enjoyed the blessings that come from voluntarily speaking the gospel. Our willingness to speak of God’s goodness determines the type of blessings that come our way (Ps126:6). There is a rejoicing like no other when one makes an extra effort to speak about God’s goodness (Is. 1:19). Certain situations of life may qualify for reasons not to speak about God’s goodness such as when a love one passes away, or infidelity in a relationship. Paul felt that no matter his circumstance his purpose and mission did not change. No matter what happens in our life we should not be deterred from the mission; no height, length should separate us (Ro. 38-39).
