THE GOOD NEWS BEARER 

"What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; and what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the housetops." ~ Matthew 10:27

Deborah O Daniel (Toyin) is an Evangelist and a Christian Writer. She grew up in a strict, religiously confused household, but found Christ on her own, when it became clear to her that she had no relationship whatsoever with Him and had no purpose in life, in spite of her upbringing. Deborah surrendered her life to Christ in 1992 but kept running from her calling owing to the severe trials she faced and the cares of the world, until she had a personal encounter with Him years later. She steps out of her comfort zone as led to fulfil her calling. She also speaks openly about her childhood difficulties and the struggles she has had in life, to testify of the mercy of God and His awesome power. For more messages and a heart talk on living a fulfilled life in Christ, get the book, Walk the Winning Walk (English-British and English-American) here, offered for free by Divine Literature International, and available to Born-again Christians ONLY - particularly new believers.

Are You Available?

The harvest is plentiful, but the labourers are few (Matthew 9:37). The hearts of many have been stolen by the world. The Lord is counting on us to leave our comfort zones and reach out to those who have not yet heard the Good News of Salvation. Are you available?

 

Some believers have been left wondering if they are good enough or mature in the faith to be used by God. They have been made to believe that they are either too young or too new in the faith.  It is not how long you have been in Church and what other believers think of your capabilities that determine your eligibility to be a vessel. Availability is what the Lord needs from you. When that is ascertained, He will empower you for His work. David's father presented his older sons to Prophet Samuel as candidates for the throne, but God said He wasn’t interested in any of them. He wanted the little errand boy, David. The bullies (Joseph's brothers) also thought they were better off because they were older, but God had someone else in mind – Joseph.

 

You may have given your life to Christ earlier than other people and not even be considered eligible, to be a vessel. For example, I gave my life in the year 1992, but spent the first seven of those years napping. I just wasn’t serious. I had my own plans, and working for the Lord was certainly not one of them. By the time I knew what was going on, precious time had been wasted. Those who met me as a believer and the ones that I led to Christ left me behind for greater things. It was not until I got my act together some years later that the Lord said, "OK, I can see you are now available".

 

On the other hand, you may have given your life to Christ just last year and find you are available to be used because you already have the zeal to do exploits for the Lord. Some turn over their lives to Christ and grow very quickly in the faith.

 

It’s a good thing to thank God for the lives of those He has called to labour in His vineyard; but don’t be content with the role of an onlooker or a bench-warmer. God is no respecter of persons (Deuteronomy 10:17, Acts 10:34). Do not be another familiar face in your church or assembly. Make yourself available, to go out there and snatch souls for Christ. Someone told you about Him when you were yet a sinner; you should do the same. With that said, not every believer aspires to be a labourer in the Lord's vineyard. In that case, this message may not be for you. You are blessed, regardless!  

 

Shalom!

 

Deborah O Daniel (Toyin)
