We often like to think evangelism is a call to certain gifted people, but Toki Numbere shows us through Jeremiah’s story that God uses unlikely means to achieve his purposes.

No one expected that if God will want to call a Prophet in Israel, it will be a young, inexperienced boy with no special background nor knowledge like Jeremiah. This was at a time when the people were coming out of deep sin under the rule of Kings Manasseh and Amon in 2 Kings 21:3-6; 23, so even Jeremiah protested but God commanded him to declare his message and assured Jeremiah of his presence, just like we must preach the gospel for others to hear and believe in Christ (Romans 10:14) and are assured of Jesus' presence in Matthew 28:20

When we evangelize, we may be ridiculed like Jeremiah was. At such times, Jeremiah was encouraged through prayers and God’s word as seen in Jeremiah 20:7; 1:11. We too must remember the assurance of God’s blessing and victory in Matthew :11-12; John 1:33. We can persevere because God always keeps his word, as revealed to Jeremiah through his vision of the Almond tree in Jeremiah 1:11-12, representing God’s faithfulness. The success of our evangelism depends on God, not us. Knowing this, what should we do to preach the gospel and ensure people are brought to repentance? How are we empowered for this task?
