READ: Acts 15:35-41
THIS IS THE THIRD TIME I AM COMING TO YOU. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established. I told you before, and foretell you, as if I were present, the second time; and being absent now I write to them which heretofore have sinned, and to all other, that, if I come again, I will not spare:
2 Corinthians 13:1-2
Every shepherd must go deeper by doing more of the same thing. Repeated visiting and repeated evangelism will take you deeper and make you accomplish more. Paul visited the Corinthians for the third time. His three visits to the Corinthians made him the greatest spiritual leader of all time to come out of Corinth.
Do not be afraid of visiting the same person three times! Do not be afraid of visiting the same church three times. Do not be afraid of having a crusade at the same venue three times! Visit more and accomplish more as a shepherd.
Only repeated visits to Israel will make you understand the Holy Land. Repetition of your visits to memorable places in your journey with God are important to establish in you certain truths and revelations that God has imparted to you.
Over the years, I have been to certain places which have spiritual significance to me. Notice that Paul was converted at Damascus. Notice how Paul went back to Damascus on other occasions (Galatians 1:17-18). Many years ago, I prayed on a street and asked God to make me fruitful. I always remember that street where I walked and prayed and sought the Lord. I really wanted God to make me a fruitful Christian. I can understand why Paul would go back to Damascus, the place where he met Christ (Acts 9:1-5).
Paul returned to Damascus a number of times. He probably refreshed his soul in the place where he met the Lord Jesus Christ. It is important to go back to the places where God touched you. God will speak to you again in the same place!
