Be Active In Soul Winning
And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness
of the firmament; and they that turn many to
righteousness as the stars for ever and ever
(Daniel 12:3).
Jesus said, “…Go ye into all the world, and
preach the gospel to every creature” (Mark
16:15). If you truly believe in what Christ did for you;
if you believe that His work of salvation was important,
and that you actually received that salvation, you can’t
keep it to yourself. You have to tell others about Jesus.
You have to be active in soul winning.
Every so often, pray and ask the Lord to put
someone in your heart that you can lead to Christ and
invite to church; someone you can share the Word of
God with and bring to church. It’s important to pray
for the salvation of those in your world, and in far off
regions, whose hearts the Lord would make ready to
receive eternal life (Acts 13:48).
The Bible says in Acts 2:47 that the Lord added to
the church daily, such as should be saved, letting us
know that every day, there’re those that are appointed
and ordained for salvation. There’re those whom the
Lord ordained should become part of the church, but
it’s our responsibility to reach out to them and bring
them into the Kingdom.
Some people don’t find the things of God
pleasant; they don’t see the need to go to church, not
because they’re congenital atheists, but because they
don’t understand or know enough. They’ve always
and only heard the wrong information, from the wrong
people about God. This has beclouded their opinion
and given them the wrong perception about God and
the Church.
It’s part of the reason we must be more passionate,
strategic, painstaking, and unrelenting in our soul
winning efforts. We must keep preaching the Gospel
and interceding for lost souls. The Bible describes those
who aren’t born again as hopeless, and alienated from
the life of God, thus, appointed to the judgment or
wrath of God (Ephesians 4:18, Ephesians 2:12).
Make it your life’s purpose that the sinners in
your world aren’t going to keep living without hope.
Share the Gospel with them. Help them discover
God’s light, and receive His righteousness. You’re His
witness. He saved you and made you His partner in
saving others.
Prayer
Dear Father, I thank you for giving me eyes that see, ears
that hear, and an understanding heart. Your love compels me to
intercede and preach the Gospel to the lost, bringing them out of
darkness into your marvellous light. I’m an active soul winner,
and my light shines ever more brightly, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
