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

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All   Monday 24th March Text: 1 Timothy 5: 19-22 Key verse: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20 God wants you to avoid doing evil while saying you want to go to heaven. You may be a member of a worldly church and be saying, “It is my tribal church; if I leave them, they will be angry. I do not want them to be angry.” Is it God you want to make angry by your compromise? You will see the anger of God indeed. It is through the word that you perfect the people, and as a result, the Bible says, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon your brother. Thou shall reprove him.” Your brother or sister has done a bad thing, and you do not bother. You leave them in their sins. They may do the same to other people. The Lord says, “Correct them.” Do not allow sin to be in them because sin will take them to hell. The Bible says, “Them that sin, rebuke befo...

For taking your time to study remain blessed. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...
