Contents
Introduction
1. We are the saved children of God and evangelists. This is a fact that will never change.
“I am a child of God and an evangelist” Everything ends before this proposition.
2. If it is true that we are God's children and called as evangelists, then we already have everything.
received.
(1) Christ, the mystery of God, in whom all things are.
(2) If I have accepted Jesus, the Christ, I have already received everything with Christ.
⑶ In particular, he prepared everything for the evangelist.
⑷ Now in the evangelism field, when the evangelist asked for God's glorious purpose, he gave everything,
give and will give
3. If this is true, we must have clear priorities in the field of life.
1. Why you need to set your priorities clearly
(1) God gave everything for me.
① He chose me before the foundation of the world. (Ephesians 1:3-5)
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who in Christ
He hath given us every spiritual blessing, who chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world,
Jesus Christ, who predestined us according to his good pleasure to be holy and blameless before him in
He made them his sons through
② He didn't just recruit me, he chose me and called me. (Isaiah 43:1)
Fear not, I have redeemed you; I have called you by name; you are mine.
③ The Lord Jesus was humbled to save me. (Phil 2:6-8)
Although he was in the form of God, he did not consider equality with God to be robbery, but rather
emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, and became in the likeness of men, and appeared in human form,
humbled and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.
④ He even died on the cross. (Romans 5:8)
God bless us in that, while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
He has confirmed his love.
(2) When God calls us, He has called us to a place of blessing.
① Everything is ready.
② It's not about working hard for the kingdom of God, it's about enjoying the gospel.
③ Opportunities are not always available.
⑶ If you live God-centered priorities, blessings are always promised.

will come forever
③ Genesis 22:1-19, the word obeyed until the only son Isaac was offered
16 And he said, By me, saith the LORD, that thou shalt do this, thy son
17 I will bless you greatly, and your seed will multiply greatly, and you will see the stars in the sky,
like the sand on the seashore, and your descendants will possess the gates of their enemies.
(2) Jacob (Gen. 35:1-5)
And God said to Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there;
God, who appeared to you when you were fleeing and fled, said to build an altar there.
⑶ Moses (Hebrews 11:24-260)
By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's princess, and instead was the people of God.
I prefer to suffer with you than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a while, and to suffer for Christ's sake.

dwells, and the ark of the covenant of the LORD is under the veil.
⑸ The dedication of the widow of Zarephath (1 Kings 17:6-24)
12 And he said, As the LORD your God lives, I have no bread, but
There is only a handful of flour in the barrel and a little oil in the jar. I picked up two branches,
make food for him, eat it, and after that he will die.
16 The cask of flour did not run out, as the LORD had spoken through Elijah, but the jar of oil
does not disappear
3. Priority in the life of an evangelist - What to do first
(1) A life that has the highest priority in receiving grace
① Matthew 5:24 Leave your gift in front of the altar and go first and be reconciled to your brother, then come and offer your gift.
② Since we have a body, we are easily deceived if our body is not in the place of grace.
③ Therefore, do not be deceived by the environment, and if you receive grace, you can transcend everything.
(2) A life centered on the Gospel and evangelism
① Matthew 6:33 Therefore seek first his kingdom and his righteousness.
Then all these things will be added to you.
② God who is in charge of the evangelist (Philippians 4:19)
my God according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus
I will supply all your needs
③
⑶ Human Relations for the Gospel and Evangelism
① Matthew 7:1-5 You hypocrite, first take the log out of your eye, and then see clearly
I'll tease out the snow
② The evangelist has neither time nor reason to talk to others.
③ The evangelist needs to examine himself first.
Conclusion - What are we going to apply today's Word?
1. Our Code - God-Centered, Bible-Centered, Church-Centered
2. Priority of evangelists to be specifically checked
⑴ Priority of goals - What am I living for and where am I going?
(2) Priority of time
⑶ Priority of substances

There is no grave without excuses. All reasons can be given. But there is no reason to receive grace.
