Mark 10:29-30. “Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospel 30 will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this present age: homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields—along with persecutions—and in the age to come eternal life.
God’s call to evangelism is not a burden—it is a blessing. The privileges He has entrusted to us are so glorious that “even angels long to look into these things” (1 Peter 1:12). Through the field of evangelism, God wants us to personally experience the power of the resurrected Christ. He wants us to stand confidently on the victory of the cross and watch the forces of darkness collapse at the name of Jesus, crushed under our feet once more (Romans 16:20).
There is no greater joy than rescuing a soul bound by Satan’s chains. The fruit of evangelism is eternal—the only crown we will treasure before Christ’s return (1 Thessalonians 2:19). Evangelism is shining the Light you have received into the places still in darkness (Isaiah 60:1). It is simply telling others what God has done in your life—your testimony of Christ’s presence becomes the very means through which others come to life.
Yet many believers feel evangelism is reserved only for the most gifted or trained. Not so. Evangelism is the natural life movement of anyone who truly has the life of Christ. If you have been saved by His blood, then introducing Jesus to those still oppressed by the devil is the most natural and powerful expression of gratitude toward God and love toward people. This is why evangelism is one of the greatest blessings God has given to His children and why Satan fears it more than anything.
The Early Church understood this. Under severe persecution, they did not retreat or ask for relief—they prayed for greater boldness to proclaim the gospel (Acts 4:23–31). Persecution only sharpened their focus on their heavenly mandate and missions.
Discover the evangelism that is most natural to your life. Begin by praying that God will open doors for the gospel (Colossians 4:3). Connect every relationship, every interaction—every day—to evangelism. Be prepared to share the hope of Christ with gentleness and respect whenever the Spirit prompts you (1 Peter 3:15).
Jesus calls with urgency. Lives are at stake. Nothing is more important than leading even one soul to Christ. Nothing is more necessary than praying for disciples who will become workers in God’s harvest (Matthew 9:37–38). Nothing will fulfill you more than participating in Christ’s Great Commission in this generation.
You carry the authority of Jesus’ name—“the name above every name” (Philippians 2:9). You walk with the privilege of divine communication and are surrounded by the protection of angel armies. Wherever you go with the gospel, the Lord Himself will work with you, confirming His Word with power (Mark 16:20). The gospel will spread rapidly and be honored (2 Thessalonians 3:1).
So do not worry about what you may lose for the sake of Christ—anything you may lose is not “worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in you” (Romans 8:18). He Himself guarantees that anything surrendered for Him and for the gospel will return a hundredfold in this life—and immeasurable glory in the next (Mark 10:29–30).
Prayer. Father, help me live today with a single devotion to Christ and an undivided heart for the gospel. Let me walk with bold faith as Your evangelist, confident in the authority of Jesus’ name. Fill my field with Your presence and drive out every force of darkness. Use me to rescue those in bondage and restore lives by Your power. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ I pray, Amen.
