Introduction: Publishing. Not really a word we hear very often, but its results are seen everywhere. social media, blogs, videos, etc. all are the results of publishing. It’s a way to get people’s messages to the masses. Have you ever felt afraid to publish because your content might not be as perfect as you want it to be? When we use what we have for God’s glory He gives us what we need to do the work. There is quality in quantity; as long as we are constantly publishing we will start to see quality in the work. God’s word is filled with compelling reasons to publish consistently, and today, we will be looking in to see what those reasons are. Today we will be learning Why we should Publish everyday and how it molds us into gospel soldiers for Christ.
1 Do we have an obligation to share God’s word if we call ourselves Christians? Why? Psalm 96:3-4
Note: there are people who want to do something for God but they don’t know where to start. You have a message that the world needs to hear. you’ve been learning things people are dying for lack of knowledge, the knowledge that you are able to impart and publish on a daily basis and I’m going to be sharing with you reasons why I believe the word of God would encourage us to publish every single day
2 What is the most effective tool that we possess that will cause us to have the greatest influence upon others? Proverbs 18:16
Note: The Bible talks about how God has given you a gift; a unique calling that you have. You have a message, you have a specific calling to serve a group of people and they are waiting to hear from you. But how are you going to get better unless you do it every single day? Mastery takes consistency; to be able to consistently share your gift, your craft, your contribution to the world on a daily basis. There is no greater impact and ability to get better and better than to continue to share every day if you commit to publishing your message.
3 In what attitude and For what purpose should we publish God’s word? 1 Corinthians 10:31
Note: Some may not like to present themselves and bring attention to themselves, but don’t put yourself out there, put Christ out there through you so that when people see you and your messages they don’t see you they see Christ in you the hope of glory To glorify God. Wouldn’t you want to give back to God what he has given to you? In such an amazing way, you have an opportunity to publish to God’s glory. You are able to proclaim the character of God throughout the world without being limited.
4 If we each have a talent given to us by the Lord, How do we find our unique talent? 1 Corinthians 12:4, 1 Corinthians 12:11
Note: There are differences of administrations or ministries and we all have a unique voice, or a unique gift, something to offer but the challenge is a lot of people don’t really know what that is; they don’t know what it looks like. You’re really not going to know your voice, your style, how you could resonate with your audience, and who you’re there to help until you do it a hundred times. Learn to consistently communicate the gift, the message, that God has given you. When you commit to that journey and you learn to love that journey you will find your voice.
5 What is a promise the Lord makes when we decide to publish His word? Proverbs 11:25
Note: Sometimes we find it difficult to share our message and let others know what the Lord has been revealing to us, but God has given us the assurance that we will lose nothing in publishing His word. When we share what we know we can also benefit. We will be able to remember the things that we now find difficult to learn if we teach or share them with others and God’s word will be able to dwell within us. You’re learning things every day. There must be something that you are passionate about. There are messages that God might have been revealing to you. A hobby or a strength or in things that you enjoy you are able to impart those things. Whatever you want to grow in, whatever you want to learn; give that and share it with other people.
6 The Lord wants us to spread His word without the belief of scarcity. According to John 10:10, how does God want us to live?
Note: The key is being grateful instead of thinking “I don’t have enough, I wouldn’t know what to say,” or “I don’t know how, I don’t have the technology or the equipment”. You can look at all these limitations and see the scarcity, but God is actually promising you an abundance. He’s asking, “What do you know?”. Share what God has done for you.
7 What is the secret to abundance? Luke 6:38
Note: If you want to have a “running over” experience, an abundance of whether it’s knowledge, an abundance of friends, influence, impact, and opportunities, then give and use your influence. Use what you have.
8 How does the Lord fulfill one of our human needs through publishing daily? Psalm 68:6
Note: God is showing that through modern publishing you can create the community you always wish that you had. when deciding to give your life and talents to the Lord, there is a separation. But when you publish every day your message determines your audience. Have a conversation with the people that you would be passionate about communicating, talking to, and being around. Think about who you want to surround yourself with.
9 Does the Lord expect us to come up with and publish new messages to share with people at the start of our publishing journey? Psalm 26:7
Note: The principle is to publish with thanksgiving. Your testimony, your experience, the things that you’ve done. When you think about publishing it might seem or get overwhelming. What we’d recommend is not to create many new things at first, but instead, document your journey document your experience, document your conversations, document what you’re doing instead of thinking you need to create all this fancy content. Pull out your phone and record. have a conversation, talk; whatever your best modality is to communicate. Be excited about it and don’t let the thought of “I don’t know what to create” get the best of you because you will start losing your passion for spreading the precious messages that the Lord has given you. Realize that it is the privilege to be tasked by the Kings of Kings.
10 How will the Lord aide us in the publishing of His word? Acts 1:8
Note: God has promised us many times in His word that He will be with us as we go into all the world to spread the good news. One of the most amazing blessings He has promised us is the outpouring of His Spirit upon us. Without the leading of the Holy Spirit in our lives, we would not be able to effectively publish the Lord’s message. In Matthew 18:20 God has promised us to be with us even to the end of the world.
