We’re His Partners In Winning Others
I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven
over one sinner that repenteth, more than over
ninety and nine just persons, which need no
repentance (Luke 15:7).
In life, many people give attention to things that
aren’t so important. They strive to be famous
and gain human recognition, but these aren’t what
God wants. When you eventually stand before the
Master, He won’t ask for the accolades you received
from men or the wealth you amassed while on earth.
Rather, He’ll be interested in what you did with the
Gospel in saving souls. It’s clear from our opening verse
what God is after; He wants you to love Him and live
for Him as His partner in soul-winning.
Daniel 12:3 says, “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.” Living for the Lord and partnering with Him to
win the lost is the highest calling and greatest honour!
You’ll only experience maximum fulfilment and joy
if your passion, emotions, desires, and appetites are
founded on Christ, and your pursuit is the establishment
of His righteousness in the hearts of men.
Every soul on earth is valuable to God. He
ransomed all men with the precious blood of His Son,
Jesus. That’s why when one sinner repents, there’s
joy in heaven. We therefore have the responsibility of
taking His Gospel to the ends of the earth; the salvation
of souls should be our passion.
Plan a personal soul-winning outreach during this
Easter period. The death, burial, and resurrection of
Jesus has reconciled even the worst sinner to God. It
has made it possible for men to become sons of God.
But many in the world still don’t know this; it’s our job
to proclaim this truth to them. So, make soul-winning
your top priority in everything. Proverbs 11:30 says,
“The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that
winneth souls is wise.” We’re the wise ones, sent by
God to shine the light of the Gospel and bring men
out of darkness, into the glorious liberty of the sons of
God. We’re His partners in soul-winning. Hallelujah!
Prayer
Dear Father, I thank you for the honour of making me your
partner in winning others. I understand my purpose on earth:
to be your light, a minister of reconciliation, pointing men in
the direction of your grace to receive salvation. You’ve made
me the dispenser of your glory and righteousness. Thank you for
this high calling, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
