THE URGENCY OF THE GOSPEL

DECEMBER 9, 2025

I must work the works of him that sent

me, while it is day: the night cometh,

when no man can work (John 9:4).

Time is one of the most precious resources you

have, and the urgency of the moment demands

that you use it wisely. Jesus knew this. He spoke of doing

the Father’s work while it is day, revealing the urgency of

the times and the shortness of the window we’ve been

given.

There’s coming a time when the opportunities we have

now to freely preach the Gospel will be gone. The doors

we now walk through freely may one day be closed. That’s

why you must act with urgency, preaching the Gospel.

Impact your world with the light of Christ’s salvation now.

Delay in evangelism can mean eternal loss for

someone who needed to hear the truth from you today.

That co-worker, neighbour or friend may not have another

chance. You’re their light; you’re God’s point of contact to

bring them out of darkness into the glorious liberty of the

sons of God. Don’t let them live another day without God.

The Bible paints the gloomy state of those who live without

God and without Christ in the world (Ephesians 2:12).

They’re hopeless, in despair, and doomed to destruction.

But you’re their hope.

This is not a season for complacent Christianity but a

time for bold action, a time to complete the full preaching

of the Gospel in all nations. Let your life be aligned with

heaven’s urgency. Every moment matters. Every soul

counts. Therefore, be led by the Spirit and seize the

moment. Do all you can while you can!

Recall the words of the Master, “I must work the

works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night

cometh, when no man can work” (John 9:4). The night

approaches, but for now, we shine, proclaiming God’s

truth, turning sinners to righteousness. We’re compelled

by Christ’s love, and in the words of the Apostle Paul in 1

Corinthians 9:16, necessity is laid upon us to preach the

Gospel. Woe unto us if we don’t preach the Gospel. The

nations are ready and ripe with harvest, and we’re bringing

in the sheaves.

CONFESSION

I recognize the urgency of the Gospel and I act swiftly.

I am sensitive to divine timing, and I seize every

opportunity to preach, to shine, and to win souls. I will

not delay, and I will not be silent. Hallelujah!
