LACK OF ABILITY

LACK OF ABILITY:
Many people do not evangelize because they feel they lack the ability to do so. They may
lack formal education or knowledge about the Bible and evangelism methods. Some
people do not really lack ability at all, but have a poor self-image or false humility.
Always remember that God calls weak people to do great things. Read the story of
Gideon in Judges 6 through 8. When Gideon was called to fulfill a great mission for God,
he was in hiding because he was afraid of the enemy. His response was "How can I do
this? My clan is the weakest and I am the least in my family."

Moses gave a similar response when he was called to lead the nation of Israel. He said
"Who am I? I am not eloquent, neither heretofore nor since thou hast spoken unto thy
servant; but I am slow of speech and of a slow tongue" (Exodus 3-4). The prophet
Jeremiah claimed he was just a child and totally incapable of being used by God
(Jeremiah 1:4-9).

People who feel they lack the ability to evangelize should ask God for the wisdom He has
promised (James 1:5). They should also understand that God uses those without natural
ability so that He can receive all the glory (I Corinthians 1:27-29).
