TOPIC:   PASSION FOR SOUL WINNING 2.  SUNDAY AUGUST 20
TEXT:     Matthew 28:18-20
KEY VERSE:   Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

We cannot be effective in our soul-winning without passion, concern and a burden in our heart towards sinners (those that have not known Jesus in the Church and in the world). Passion for soul-winning is the heart concern in a Christian that leads him to strongly wish the conversion of sinners to Christ, and work fervently and tirelessly to achieve it. Driven by his passion, the believer works fervently and tirelessly to bring people to Christ’s salvation and righteous living.

Passion comes on the believer when he considers the sinful state of the soul; when he looks at the soul (the sinner) and sees the sins that he commits and sees how sin has taken over him. For example, when he sees a drunkard on the street bouncing on the way, staggering to and fro and speaking foolishly because sin has taken over his life; or he sees a harlot in the brothel sitting at the door of her room, waiting for whoever she will damn forever, and counting it a service to humanity, his passion for souls flares up.

What a passion comes on the soul-winner when he sees people of various types: the idol worshippers dancing on the streets, or women dressed nakedly just because they have dedicated themselves to the devil. What a concern it is to the soul-winner when he sees the police dragging someone to the police station, beating and slapping him with wounds all over, because he has stolen! What a concern it gives him to see that they are firing some people because they are armed robbers! He gets troubled because of their sinful state for which in God’s judgment they shall be sentenced to eternal damnation in hell.

Thought for the day:  God saved you to lead others to salvation 
Song for the day:  It is a great thing to serve the Lord
Bible reading for the day: Psalm 116-118; 1 Corinthians 2

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you wa...
