Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest (Joshua 1:9)._
Boldness is the divine confidence to speak and act in line with God’s will, regardless of opposition or circumstances. It’s often the result of being filled with the Spirit: dynamic evangelism—preaching the Gospel with power. We see this in Acts 4:31; the saints were all filled with the Holy Ghost and they spoke the Word of God with boldness even in the face of threats and severe persecution.
How we need that in our world today: the outworking of divine courage and boldness in preaching the Gospel! A person of courage understands that every opposition is an opportunity for victory. This is what we see in the early Church. The apostles didn’t retreat in the face of persecution; they advanced the Gospel with greater boldness.
After they were threatened, they prayed for boldness and, being filled again with the Holy Ghost, they spoke the Word with boldness (Acts 4:29-31). Even when they were beaten and commanded not to preach, they departed, rejoicing and continued daily to teach and preach Jesus Christ (Acts 5:40-42).
They weren’t afraid of kings, rulers, or death; they were strong and very courageous. God has given to us the same ministry of reconciliation (2 Corinthians 5:18). You’ve been entrusted with the Gospel, to reach your world for the Lord Jesus. Therefore, your life must be about the Gospel. Refuse to make the lesser things of life your focus.
Paul said, “…necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!” (1 Corinthians 9:16). That should be your consciousness. You’re an ambassador and a steward of the mysteries of Christ. Don’t ignore the sinners around you. It’s not God’s will that any should perish (2 Peter 3:9). He wants them saved, and He’s counting on you.
Romans 10:14 says, “…how shall they hear without a preacher?” You’re that preacher. Refuse to be silent. Be bold, be courageous, and preach the Gospel with conviction. This is your time. Take your place, fulfil your mandate with boldness and impact your world for Christ.
CONFESSION
I’m bold, courageous and empowered by the Holy Spirit to preach the Gospel with boldness, power and conviction. I’m an ambassador for Christ, and through me, the Word reaches my world with power, bringing salvation and transformation to many. Hallelujah!

2 Corinthians 5:18-20 KJV
And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; [19] To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. [20] Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.
1 Corinthians 9:16 KJV
For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!
Acts 4:29-31 KJV
And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word, [30] By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus. [31] And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.
Romans 10:13-14 KJV
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. [14] How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
