For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel! (1 Corinthians 9:16).

When it comes to the preaching of the Gospel in all the nations of the earth, youll have to approach it as though it depended on you alone to do it. That was the mentality Paul had and its worth emulating. When you have such a fire in your spirit, nothing can quench it. Youd say like Paul, necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel! "Woe is unto me if I preach not the gospel."

Paul recognized the weight of responsibility placed on him and was determined to take the message to the entire world. Your positioning, thinking and mentality have to be the same. Dont have the idea that "Oh, there are so many Christians, churches and ministries around the world; I hope theyre going to do something for the full preaching of the Gospel. Instead, ask yourself, "What am I going to do as an individual?"

Paul said, According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust (1 Timothy 1:11); he personalized it. Can God trust you to do the same? If He left the fulfilment of His vision to you, could you be trusted to get it done? This should get you to think differently about soul winning and how you intercede for those who havent yet known the Lord.

If you were the only Christian in your country, state, city, neighbourhood, etc., how would you function? What would you do differently? Would you continue at your current pace or rise to the challenge and do more? Be determined to make a far greater impact with the Gospel in your environment.

Dont wait; make the decisions you need to make and act on them quickly. Set your priorities for soul winning and evangelism. So much might be vying for your attention, but you must place the Kingdom of God at the forefront of your life. Matthew 6:33, But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Prayer

Dear Father, thank you for the responsibility you have entrusted to me to preach the Gospel in my world. I refuse to be distracted or complacent. I make the Kingdom my utmost priority, ensuring that every moment, effort, and resource is dedicated to fulfilling your vision. By your Spirit, I act with urgency and excellence, accomplishing all youve called me to do, in Jesus Name. Amen.
