JUST FOR TODAY: How good of salesman are YOU???

[Lynn D. Walker]

I've had past experience as a salesman; retail and wholesale.  The training for a successful salesman is pretty simple: 1. Qualify the customer (is he/she a serious and able buyer) 2. Pitch your product (tell the customer about all the benefits and why he/she needs your product) 3. Ask for the sale!! (don't pitch your product and then stand there like a big idiot!!  You have not because you ask not; Ask the customer to buy and THEN shut up!!  If you follow these three simple steps, you will sell a LOT of product!!  Evangelism is somewhat similar.  It's easy to qualify people's need for Jesus; we have all sinned and fallen short of His Glory so we ALL desperately need Jesus plus you know they can afford it; it's FREE!!!  One other thing, you must qualify yourself as a born again believer and follower of Jesus in order to help others  2. Witnessing to folks is like Pitching the product in sales.  Although product knowledge is helpful, you don't have to be a Bible Scholar, but you do have to be honest and just tell folks what Jesus has done for you.  3. Ask for the sale!!!  Be like Jesus when He told Zaccheaus "come down out of that tree right now"  Ask folks to come to Jesus and tell them the day of salvation is TODAY!!  Do it now before it's too late!!!  If you follow these three simple steps you will be an evangelist.  You will NOT lead everyone to the Lord that you witness to so don't be discouraged when most will say NO; BUT, Oh how the angels in Heaven will rejoice and how your heart will soar when some do say, "yes, I want to give my heart and life to Jesus."!!!!!  Jesus is the only one who saves, but how do think you will feel knowing that someone will have Eternal Life because YOU told 'em about Jesus!!!  ~Pastor Lynn
