Preaching Gospel - An act of l
Fr Mathew Naickomparambil V.C.
Preaching Gospel To tell others about the divine love, the salvation in Jesus, forgiveness of sins and the joy in the Holy Spirit which you experienced is an act of love. Explain the verses of the Bible and their interpretations which brought forth the above blessings in your life, to the audience. Proclaim the Word with much gusto with accompaniment of personal experience. Word Proclamation brings about the following. 1. In those listening to the Word of God, occur changes in their hearts and in their life style. Many people receive peace of mind. Many receive inner healing. Those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like angels, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint (Is 40:31). 2. They get the strength to forgive to end animosities. Personal peace, peace in the family, improved friendly relations in society, etc. are formed. Bear with one another and, if anyone has a complaint against another, forgive each other; just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you must also forgive (Col 3:13). 3. As sinful and lustful desires get away, sincere relationships get in. If you sow to your own flesh, you will reap corruption from the flesh; but if you sow to the Spirit, you will reap eternal life from the Spirit (Gal 6:8). 4. It helps to move forward in life tasting selfless love as one abandons evils like selfishness, greed and lust. One is able to experience some sort of innocent love which is a harbinger to the bliss of heavenly love. The kingdom of God is not food and drink but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit (Rom 14:17). 5. Many sicknesses and other forms of tribulations disappear. We get the grace to pray sincerely not just for our private and personal matters, but for others and in fact the entire world. Whatever you ask for in prayer with faith, you will receive (Mt 21:22). 6. People get the grace to do such things which will cause spiritual and material well-being of others. They grow beyond the bounds of their selfishness and prompt others also to do good for others. Strive first for the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well (Mt 6:33). 7. People who have been wandering hither and thither without any specific goal in life and those who have been pursuing some glittery things they thought to be worthwhile, achieving nothing in the end, will see Jesus who is the way, truth and life. Then they can follow Jesus and go forward in the clear and beautiful paths of life, thus becoming models and motivators for others, giving them encourage-ment and joy. Do not lag in zeal, be ardent in spirit, serve the Lord (Rom 12:11). 8.They were like the wandering sheep without a shepherd. But then they discovered a purpose in their life. Since Divine Proclamation has been instituted by God, many noble fruits are enjoyed by individuals, families and the society at large. Tens of thousands are enjoying the beneficial fruits of the Divine Word Proclamation. We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose (Rom 8:28). With living faith in Jesus, many are becoming witnesses and missionaries of Jesus. Many lead different kinds of charitable services. Many take care of the mentally challenged, physically handicapped, old people and the destitute in the society. How many great and noble things are wrought by God through the Divine Word Proclamation! The Biggest Service of Love and Charity The Proclamation Services raise the minds of people into brotherhood and genuine love, after releasing them from the bondage of sin, addictions and vengeful thoughts. Leading people into God is the greatest service of love and charity. JOYFUL AND inspiring TESTIMONIES There are testimonies galore from people who have been freed from the fetters of alcoholism, smoking, psychedelic drugs and lascivious lust. They now live a life of love and peace. These testimonies come from all the States in India and many countries abroad. There are many who have been cured of chronic and severe illnesses and now live quite happily with good health. They actively take part in the family and social activities and they also expend their time and energy doing service to others. How beautiful are their testimonies! These people take an active part in the spiritual welfare of others. They motivate others to aim at greater nobility and virtues. Many who abandoned their addictions because of their retreat experience have conjoined their lives with that of Jesus. This way they were able to extricate themselves out of the financial and moral morass into which they had plunged. Their physical facilities and material amenities have become better and they actively serve others in their material as well as spiritual needs.
