Yesh getting into a person's life is important yet by having true friends is equally important.Not everybody can easily bring friends to God.
7 reasons I can think of:
1. Not enough communication between you and the friend, time of reaching out to him is rather short.
Even if you are eloquent or convincing, it does not help you to bring close relationship with you and your friends.simply becos the time is too short.(The person will feel you are fake let alone talk about the one who call frens for only the purpose of inviting them to church.
2. You must really make ends meet as a TRUE friend to that person.Really love the person....almost at the point of laying down your lives 4 him or her.....Make them FEEL it....Ask this question to yourself : Have you been unselfish in your ways?
3. Sad fact but often true: Lack of genuine prayer..... It is not how you pray in a prayer meeting but how the Holy Spirit wants you to pray for. how you feel about that matter...How does God want you to go about having this soul saved.(STRATEGIZE)
4. Your cellgroup must pray FERVENTLY and INCESSANTLY, the point at which you are to ask your friend back or in the process.Call up your members to pray for you!!!!
5. You are a reflector of what Christ is...so often we take things or say things casually...(I do it on several occassions but begin to take notice now)
6. Please...please.......Go and make friends with the newcomers make them feel at home as if you knew them FOR YEARS!!!!(Some of our members talk to them a bit about introduction and that's it!No wonder we are PROUD!!!!
7. Whether you fellowship or go out...always make it a point to share the gospel: Not because you want to bring them to church ....but to SHARE GOD'S LOVE.....................Ultimately they will understand our mission....
LET'S MAKE SACRIFICES AND LAY DOWN OUR LIVES FOR HIS CAUSE (UNSELFISHNESS)
No One is perfect but lets all look to Christ for PERFECTION in this matter....Let's bring in the harvest ..AMEN

havent been blogging for quite some time...
been rather lazy to blog details
at the same time... been discovering so many things in recent weeks
i believe that God is really revealing lots to me.. which i m simply very very very thankful for! =)
thru qt, sermons, worship, conversations with family and close friends and even thru God himself
gee... i simply cant find the words to pen down everything running thru my mind
but i just know that God is real and He is working!
and this itself is such a wonderful living fact and the reason that we are alive!
just a word of encouragement for all here:
God has blessed us so much
and it's only right... that we seek and abide in His will!
fellowship with Him and one another...and pray! for it is written!
that is then... do we see even more marvelous and wonderous things that God will do in our midst!
Don't give up! cos He has not given up on us! =)
