Win souls for Christ
SOUL winning was the main task Jesus our Lord left for all His true disciples. In five places in the scriptures, He asked all His disciples to go into all the world and make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:15-20, Mark 16:15-20, Luke 24:46-49, John 20:21, Acts 1:8). That it was repeated again and again by our Lord after His glorious resurrection shows how important and dear to the heart of God the matter of soul winning is. God does not want anyone to perish. Rather, He wants all to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth (I Timothy 2:4).
When our Lord Jesus gave the command that we should go into the entire world and preach the gospel, it was with a promise of His abiding presence, to work with us. He said “And lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the world” (Matthew 28:20). His glorious presence is always with someone who is truly committed to soul winning. And there is no way the glorious presence of God will be with you and you are not helped in all your ways. When the presence of God is with you, you succeed and prosper in all that you do.
You enjoy uncommon favour. You make progress. Eventually, you become truly great. That was the story of Joseph (Genesis 39: 2-5, 21-23). That was the experience of David (II Samuel 5:10). That was exactly what happened with Jesus when He was on earth in the flesh; to secure our redemption (Acts 10:38). That was the testimony of His early disciples when they obeyed His command to go and preach the gospel.
“And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen” (Mark 16:20).
Do you want the Lord to be with you, working with you, helping you in all that you do? Then, preach the gospel of Christ and win souls for Him. Do you want to experience signs and wonders following you in all that you do, and everywhere you go? Then, preach the gospel of Christ. When you are wholeheartedly committed to preaching the gospel of Christ, you will experience the help of God in every area of your life. And it shall be well with you.
Start today to win souls for Christ. When we get to heaven, not only will God reward you, there shall be several people that will rejoice and give thanks to God for you, because it was by your hand they made it to heaven.
"And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever” (Daniel 12:3).
