Last week, I had the opportunity to attend a Zoom training led by Pastor William Massaquoi, who was teaching on evangelism. It was a powerful lecture—very moving and inspiring. I learned a lot about the Great Commission, which is what Jesus mandated His followers to do. I also learned that everyone, no matter your level of Christianity, is called to evangelize and spread the gospel.
Meanwhile, I’ve also been completing a Christian discipleship class. Today, May 11, 2025, was my final class. Interestingly, I ended the course learning more about generosity and witness—a topic I’ve heard many times but received with fresh revelation this time. As a Christian, I know we are called to go and make disciples of Christ, and I want to share what I’ve been learning—especially as I continue to grow and try my best to pour into others as I learn more about the gospel.
Spiritual Discipline and the Power of Generosity
For the past seven (7) weeks, I’ve been attending a class at College Park Church Institute called “Spiritual Discipline.”This class has been one of the best I’ve ever taken, and I would recommend it to anyone looking to build a deeper relationship with God.
Spiritual discipline is the foundation for any Christian—it’s like the foundation of a building. If the foundation is weak, the structure won’t stand. The same goes for our spiritual lives. Without spiritual discipline, we can’t stand strong in our faith.
Generosity
Today, I want to share notes from one of my final classes: “Generosity & Witness (Evangelism).” The class began with these powerful words:
“An eye that doesn’t see is a heart that doesn’t feel.”
We are told to learn, feel, contribute, and support the gospel from the depth of our hearts.
Let’s talk about what we are called to do for the Kingdom of God. First, we must understand that God owns everything—we are simply managers of what He has given us.
“You shall remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth, that he may confirm his covenant that he swore to your fathers, as it is this day.” — Deuteronomy 8:18 (ESV)
Knowing that God is the giver of wealth, resources, and abundance, why shouldn’t we be generous with others? When God empowers you, He also expects that you use that empowerment to help those in need. Moses gave this message to the Israelites before they entered the Promised Land. He warned them not to forget God in their prosperity. And the same warning is for us—we must remember God, walk with God, and support His mission.
Another example is found in Job 42:11:
“Then came to him all his brothers and sisters and all who had known him before, and ate bread with him in his house. And they showed him sympathy and comforted him for all the evil that the Lord had brought upon him. And each of them gave him a piece of money and a ring of gold.”
Here, Job’s family returned to support him after his trials. They showed generosity in both spirit and substance. How many of us are willing to show up when people are suffering—not just with money, but with encouragement, moral support, prayer, or even a simple word of hope?
God is calling us to be generous—and generosity isn’t limited to money. It can be your time, energy, kindness, wisdom, or intercession. When we give with a pure heart, we’re investing in God’s Kingdom.
“For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” — Luke 12:34 (ESV)
So when we invest into God’s work, we build heavenly treasure. Our generosity sets our hearts on eternal things.
Practical Ways to Be Generous:
- Be generous to the poor
- Be generous to your family
- Be generous to your church
- Be generous to your community
- Be generous to your nation
- Be generous to the world
Evangelism
Every believer is an evangelist. The Bible is clear:
“And Jesus came and said to them, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” — Matthew 28:18–19 (ESV)
This is a direct instruction from Jesus Christ. He didn’t say this only to pastors, ministers, or church leaders. He said it to every disciple. That includes me. That includes you.
Many of us, including myself, used to think that only those called to preach were evangelists. But after reading Matthew 28, I now understand that anyone who is a believer in Christ is called to spread the gospel.
The Struggles Are Real
Evangelism is not always easy. I know it’s hard.
- We fear rejection.
- We’re afraid people won’t listen.
- We feel we’re not spiritually strong or knowledgeable enough.
But we have to realize: evangelism takes time and sacrifice.
- You have to make time to study the Word.
- You have to be willing to sacrifice your own comfort.
- You have to step out in faith and trust that God will speak through you.
The Heart of Evangelism
Evangelism must be done with humility. You can’t share Christ and live like the world. You can’t preach hope and act like there’s no Savior. Your life has to reflect the gospel you speak.
“And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil.” — 2 Timothy 2:24–25 (ESV)
It also requires hospitality. Use your home as a place to minister. Let your life be a living testimony of Christ. Your words, your posture, and your behavior should reflect Jesus.
It’s like running a campaign for a candidate—you must represent Him well. You should be humble, peaceful, patient, hopeful, and willing to sacrifice.
“If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.” — Matthew 16:24 (ESV)
So as we evangelize, we carry the cross. We deny ourselves. We stand through discomfort. And we remain faithful to the mission of winning souls for Christ.
