TOPIC:      THE JOY IN SOUL WINNING.  WEDNESDAY AUGUST 9
TEXT:         Psalm 126: 5-6
KEY VERSE:  How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth! Isaiah 52:7

And when a sinner or a backslider is brought to the salvation of Christ, what a joy to the passionate soul winner! That someone has been redeemed; angels clap their hands in Heaven. Angels rise up, praise the Lord and make a joyful noise: “Yes! A soul has been gotten for Jesus! A soul has been redeemed for eternal Hell! A soul bathed in the blood of Christ!”- That’s the joy of the saints, the joy of the passionate soul winner!

“Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.” Luke 15:10.

A particular man (an old man) of whom I had been wondering: “Does this man understand this Gospel we preach? Is he catching up with what we are saying when he comes to church?” The man came to me for counselling and testified concerning a message I preached that week. He said when the message was going on he broke into tears and cried like he had never cried before. Tears came into my eyes. He said “if it is riches, I’ve seen riches in my life; am I looking for riches in this old age? All I need now is the salvation of the Lord. I want to make Heaven.”I asked him: “What do you think take people to Hell?” “Sin and wickedness in their lives leads the people to Hell,” he replied. Then I asked him: “If someone does not want to go to Hell, what will he do?” He said “The person must repent of his sins and give his life to Jesus Christ.” What a joy to me that was! I said, “Lord, is that what You have done? Is that what You are doing?” That’s the joy of my life and I know it’s not only that man, there are many others.

Transformation is going on in many others. Salvation is going on. Deliverance is going on. Jesus Christ is getting glorified. Is He glorified in your life?  There’s joy when one sheep is brought back to the kingdom. There’s joy before the angels that are in heaven. If we desire to arise in evangelism, we must recover our passion for perishing souls around us. Soul winning could be costly and tedious. The persecutions are great, but the rewards are greater.  “They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.  He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.”

Thought for the day: Soul-winning is the only thing we do on earth and heaven celebrates.
Song for the day:    God and tell them that Jesus died for the sinful world
Bible reading for the day: Psalm 85-87; Romans 9

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...
