Everytime God wants to do something on earth, He needs the help or input of a man. When God was going to save mankind, He had to come in a form of man, which is Jesus. Man is very essential to God, man is a god on earth.
Jesus, while on earth, one of the phrases of “I am’s” that He used in describing Himself is ‘the door’. He recognised that a man’s life is an entrance (John.10:1-9). Jesus is the door to God, no one comes to the Father except by Him (John 14:6).
Although Jesus is the door, we as believers, are sub-doors to the main door (Ezekiel.3:17-20). You are responsible for the eternal destination of some people (2 Corinthians 5:18-20). God expects us to live responsibly; people must begin to see Jesus through you.
How To Become An Effective Door of The Gospel
(1). We must have passion for souls and soul-winning (1 Corinthians 9:16; John 4:6,34). When passion is clear, you’d be able to see the opportunities to preach the gospel.
(2). We must understand how to communicate the gospel; any statement made towards a sinner that does not help his conversion is not necessary.
(3). We must be separated from the world. There must be a mark of distinction; your word must preach, your life must preach (Colossians 4:5).
(4). Have an attractive attitude; an attractive attitude is simply the fruits of the Spirit. Show compassion, kindness to others (1 Peter 3:1-2).
(5). Walk in supernatural operations and demonstrations of the power of God. We can do more with the gospel by supernatural operations; we must contend for miracles because it opens us up for the gospel (Luke 9:1-2; Acts8:5-6).
