Category: Win a Soul Devotional

Look Up

Leave a comment

William Pope, who died in 1797, was the leader of a company of infidels who ridiculed everything religious. One of their exercises was to kick the Bible around the floor or tear it up. Friends present in his death-chamber spoke of it as a scene of terror as he died crying:

“I have no contrition. I cannot repent. God will damn me. I know the day of grace is past…You see one who is damned forever…Oh, Eternity! Eternity! Nothing for me but hell. Come eternal torments…I hate everything God has made, only I have no hatred for the devil— I wish to be with him. I long to be in hell. Do you not see? Do you not see him?”

Brethren, do you not see souls crying out of terror for help and salvation? Do you not see men and women drowning in sin, guilt and shame? They stretch forth their hands hoping a messenger of light will grab it and pull them out of the dungeons of darkness.

Do you not say, ‘There are still four months and then comes the harvest’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!
John 4:35 NKJV

Look Up and see the harvest.

Prayer is Simply Not Enough

Leave a comment

“Have you noticed how much praying for revival has been going on of late—and how little revival has resulted? I believe the problem is that we have been trying to substitute praying for obeying, and it simply will not work. To pray for revival while ignoring the plain precept laid down in Scripture is to waste a lot of words and get nothing for our trouble. Prayer will become effective when we stop using it as a substitute for obedience.” A. W. Tozer

We know you have commanded us to preach the gospel to every creature; but we will stay here and pray. Your Word says, ‘How will they hear without a preacher?’ but we will stay here and pray. You have told us that the gospel is the power of God to salvation, but we will stay here and pray; because it sure is easier to talk to God about men, than to talk to men about God.” Ray Comfort

The writer of the second quote was being sarcastic about how the church sometimes takes action towards evangelism.

For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, Who bring glad tidings of good things!”
Romans 10:13‭-‬15 NKJV

May God burden our hearts for souls in Jesus name. Amen

Soul Winning Brings Joy

Leave a comment

“I can tell you that there is no greater joy than leading someone to faith in Jesus Christ. Even if they reject your message, it still feels great to obey Christ. Yet regardless of how we feel, we need to remember this is what He has commanded.” – D. James Kennedy

“Even if I were utterly selfish and had no care for anything but my own happiness, I would choose, if God allowed, to be a soul winner, for never did I know perfect, overflowing, unutterable happiness of the purest and most ennobling order till I first heard of one who had sought and found a Savior through my means.” – Charles Spurgeon

It’s not only heaven that has joy when a sinner repents, God generously extends that joy to your heart. Suddenly dark areas of your life begins to receive light and everything comes together and makes sense.

Do you want to experience true unadulterated joy? Try soul winning. There’s just something so fulfilling when you hear of someone who came closer to Jesus because of a material you shared or a preaching you did.

There is no believer who has true joy that is not a soul winner.

How To Witness To Your Coworkers

Leave a comment

When we interact with people on a daily basis, we have many opportunities for sharing our faith.

First, be sure you are respectful to your employer and set a good example in your work ethic by working “as to the Lord” (Colossians 3:23). When others around you grumble and complain, if you have a calm, forgiving, steadfast spirit, it will make an impression. As you respond in a Christlike way to angry coworkers and stressful circumstances, people will see a difference in your life.

Always be friendly and courteous, and show genuine interest in your coworkers’ lives. Invite them out to lunch to get better acquainted. Share their joys and sorrows by congratulating them in their good times and offering to pray for them in their bad times. Be sure you do pray for them, then follow up by asking them about the situation you prayed for. They will be moved by your concern.

If coworkers are discussing what they did during the previous weekend, you can share your excitement about attending church services or a special church event. Ask others if they have any plans for celebrating Easter or Christmas; be nonjudgmental of their answer, but be ready (if asked) to explain why you celebrate as you do. Displaying a favorite Scripture or a devotional calendar, or reading your Bible during lunchtime, may prompt others to inquire about your faith.

Bringing home-baked goods or leaving a small gift with a note on a coworker’s desk can sometimes have a greater impact than a thousand eloquent sermons. We can show our faith by our works. Others may not like a tree of righteousness, but they cannot help but like its fruit. Pray for opportunities to share the gospel, being careful not to infringe on your employer’s time.

Adapted from the Lesson, “How should I witness to my coworkers” from School Of Biblical Evangelism by Living Waters International

But I’m Not An Evangelist

Leave a comment

Over 2,000 years ago, Jesus said these words to his followers:

“I have chosen you to be like a light to the Gentiles. You must go to people everywhere in the world. You must tell them how God wants to save them.”
Acts 13:47 EASY

Jesus did not single out a few of the disciples to say, “You are the evangelists in the church, only you should preach the gospel, the rest should just live good lives.” No, He said these words to all of the disciples.

You must go. Evangelism is not an option. It is not a suggestion. How can the few Evangelists in the Church effectively reach everyone in the world? It is for every believer. You are called to do it. It is the primary reason why you have the Holy Ghost. See Acts 1:8. God has chosen you so you must go. You must tell them.

To keep quiet would be an act of rebellion. It means Jesus is not Lord of your life. Do not only send your money, follow Jesus. Go with Him.

May God baptise you with uncontainable zeal for the lost, in Jesus name, Amen. Good morning!

Native Doctor Gives His Life To Christ | NAS Devotinal | Day 2

Leave a comment

Good morning, my name is Joy Taiwo, a sister from our Soul Winners group shared this yesterday:

“Last Sunday A native doctor gave his life to Christ through a tract my church evangelism team shared at Ojuelegba bus stop. He said he was going somewhere to perform ritual or something and as he alighted from a bus at Ojuelegba bus stop someone handed him a tract. Before then he said he was always being disturbed by an evil noise that never allowed him to rest. While that tract was in his hands, he noticed that the disturbing noise ceased. He dropped the tract on the ground and walked away and the moment he did that the noise started all over again. He then walked back and picked up the tract and the disturbing noise ceased again. He then join my church evangelism team members and gave his life to Christ. On Sunday he came to testify. The little( just by sharing tracts) we do in evangelism can yield much fruits.”

1 Thing You Must Pursue in Life | NAS Devotional Day 1

Leave a comment

Good morming, my name is Joy Taiwo. Charles Spurgeon said this:

“Soul-winning is the chief
business of the Christian minister; it should be the main pursuit of every true believer.”

He is correct!

Soul winning is also the only thing Jesus asked us to do with our lives before He went to Heaven. Mark 16:15

It is the only thing He will ask us results/fruits for when He comes back. Matthew 20:8

Don’t spend your life doing all the things that don’t matter while ignoring the one thing that actually matters.

Tell someone about Jesus today, place a tract in someone’s hand. Heaven is recording it and you will be rewarded.

Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak: for your work shall be rewarded.
2 Chronicles 15:7 KJV

I pray that God will put in your heart a burning passion for souls, in Jesus name Amen. Thank you for reading.
