Are You An Answer Here?
by Olawale Ogunsola

In the past five past write ups along this line, we have examined You Are An Answer in various ways. There is a need to end it with this question that forms the concluding part of these series. Are you an answer? There is an area of life that you must be an answer. I discuss with you here as a faithful child of God who walks with Him without hypocrisy.


Eagerness of God.
Do you know that there is a specific reason for Jesus Christ to come into the World? What was it? The Angel of God who spoke with Mary who was the chosen channel through which Jesus came into the world said,
"[21]And she will have a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” Matthew 1:21.


He came to save His people. Who are they? Whosoever believes in Him and turn away from his sins.
He reiterated this when He was departing this world. He told His disciples then (and now),
"[18]Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth.
[19]Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
[20]Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28.
Are you one of His disciples today? Are obeying this instructions? How consistent are you in being an answer to this yearnings of your Master who paid all prices to save you?


Are you an answer here?
Desire of Man.
Do you know that there are people around you, including those you come across daily, who are eager to be saved? They are hungry for salvation. They want someone who can point the way to be saved for them. They may have or may not have heard about Jesus but they want a link. Are you a link? Do you point Jesus to people who need Him now or will embrace Him later? Please do. Witness for Him.


Do you wonder where to begin? Your household. Simple. If you are saved by Jesus Christ, He is interested in saving all members of your household too. His instructions was, and remains,
"[8]But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Acts 1:8.
Your Jerusalem is your household cum environment. This is where you are. You can access people and talk to them. You understand their language and they understand yours. Are you an answer to their yearnings for salvation? Please be! It has happened before, so, let history repeats itself in your life and household. Any proof of this? Read on:
"[40]Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, was one of these men who heard what John said and then followed Jesus.
[41]Andrew went to find his brother, Simon, and told him, “We have found the Messiah” (which means “Christ”).
[42]Then Andrew brought Simon to meet Jesus. Looking intently at Simon, Jesus said, “Your name is Simon, son of John—but you will be called Cephas” (which means “Peter”). John 1.
Devout reader, are you an answer here? I implore you to become an answer henceforth in the area of salvation of others. You have family members and near friends with whom you can discuss Christ to save them. Become an answer today and forever. Your rewards are many here on Earth and there in Heaven.
Stay blessed and prepared for the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.
