Theses are just a few lessons I've gleaned from seeking and walking in the way of the Master... who promised to make those who follow Him fishers of men. Glory...

"[PREACHING] Jesus came preaching the gospel of kingdom of God, AND saying [CLARIFYING], "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. [CALLING] Repent, and believe in the gospel" (Mark 1:14-15).
•

1. He preached: He preached the gospel of the kingdom. (He gave them the good new, (about the bad news of their condition), of God's reign over His creation, the eternal grace that has now manifested His purpose and plan to save those fallen and in need of a Redeemer, by sending His answer and provision and pardon, found in the Person of the Lord Jesus.)
   •
2. He clarified: He clarified the message and time applied to them that day. (He made it clear that the good news of His presence and the timing of God's kingdom reign and reason for showing fallen men His grace was currently at hand, available to them and accessible to those who believe.)
   •
3. He called: He called on them to repent and believe what He just preached and clarified. (Commanding they turn from what they previously trusted and rested their hope upon and believe Him and what He just preached and clarified.)

   I pray these tools will likewise help you... be a more effective missionary.
