Workers Needed

Workers needed
“Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness.  
When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.  
Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the    Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.” Matthew 9: 35-38.
Are you working for God? Anyone who truly believes in Jesus can work for God. Can win souls for Christ.
Years ago I use to teach ten year olds in  Sunday School. A young girl once asked me, How can she could win someone for Jesus. She said, “I’m just a kid and don’t know the Bible very well.”
I told here she didn’t have to know the Bible very well to win souls for Christ. All she had to do was invite them to Sunday School or church. From there the pastor and the Sunday School teachers could tell them about Christ.
That young girl took what I said to heart inviting numerous of her friends and family to church. Some of which committed their lives to Christ. That ten year old girl worked for Christ as good as any pastor or evangelist. In her own way she was an evangelist.
We can all be like that young girl. We can all invite someone to Church. Even if it’s not church you can have an informal bible study in your home.
Francis of Assisi tells us,
“Preach the Gospel at all times 
and when necessary use words.”
Francis of Assisi
He also said,
“The deeds you do
 may be the only sermon some persons will hear today” 
 Francis of Assisi 
As Christians our daily lives should reflect the love of God. Jesus said,
“You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men. 
You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.  
Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.  
In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:13-16
The apostle Peter tells us,
“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.  
Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy. 
Dear friends,
 I urge you, as aliens and strangers in the world, to abstain from sinful desires, which war against your soul.  
Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us.” 1 Peter 2:9-12.
This is how we can work for Christ.
Pleases think about it.
