The only need that God has is the
salvation of mankind from their sin. This singular need of God almighty, has
prompted Him to work day and Night without resting (Psalm 121:4). Ever since
the fall of man, God has never rested one day to see that humanity is restored
back to their original position of dominion (Genesis 1:28).
Jesus Christ our saviour, also highlighted
the working nature of God, when He says' ,,,, my father worketh hitherto, and I work (John 5:17). The question
is which work is Jesus and the father working? The work Jesus works on earth is
preaching the gospel to everyone. So God reconcile us to Himself through Jesus
and has given us the ministry of reconciliation (2 Corinthians 5:17-19)
So if Jesus our saviour and the
father could be working who are you a mere servant not to be working. The only
commandment Jesus gave the disciple after his resurrection was, go ye
into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature (Mark 16:15). The
harvest is plenty but the labourer's are few. Why don't you be among the few
labourer's available. Why don't you partner with Christ to meet the heavenliest
needs today. You can't promote God's kingdom and your life remain down.
Remember
that God holds us responsible for not preaching the gospel to sinner. He tells
us, “If I warn the wicked, saying,
‘You are under the penalty of death,’ but you fail to deliver the warning, they
will die in their sins. And I will hold you responsible for their deaths.”
(Ezekiel 3:18). Many Christian
today are ashamed of sharing the gospel to their friends, relatives, colleagues
and neighbours for fear of being mocked, laughed and ridiculed. Some give
excuses of no adequate experience on how to preach among others.
STRATEGIES
OF EFFECTIVE SOUL WINNINGS REACHING THE LOST
Pray For The Lost Souls Around You
The
first step to any effective outreach is to pray for the lost souls around you,
your neighbour, friends, family member among others. The bible says in John
6:44,
No man come to me, except the father which hath sent me draw him,,,. True!
no matter what you tell a sinner, it takes the holy spirit to convict him of
His sin to repent. And when he (Holy Ghost) is come, he will reprove the world of sin,,,,
(John 16:8). So it takes the engagement of the holy spirit for a sinner
to repent of their sin. This working power of the Holy Ghost are activated on
the alter of prayer. So before you go out there to win soul, pray that God should
convict the sinner, Give you utterances/wisdom and opportunity to minister the gospel to the
sinners.
Apply
Wisdom
The
best approach to sharing the gospel is basically to minister to people needs,
and that calls for wisdom. Let me share this story with you, A preacher met a
piano engineer who was very good at repairing the same. He said to him, you are
very good in this your work, you can fix the worst piano on earth. With this he
got the attention of the engineer. He then said to the man, but do you know there
is a man who can fix your life just as you are good in fixing piano,,,,, with
this introduction, he started preaching the gospel with full attention of the
man to him.
Learn
to share the gospel in a way that will appease to their needs “And have
mercy on those who are wavering—save them by snatching them out of the fire;
but on others have mercy with fear—hating even the garment defiled by the
flesh.” (Jude 1:22-23). Starting gently works best for some, while a
warning about judgment works better for others.
