TOPIC: IMPORTANCE OF WISDOM IN SOUL WINNING
TEXT: PROVERBS 4:5-9
SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 4th
Key verse: Ecclesiastes 10:10 If the iron is blunt and he does not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength: but wisdom is profitable to direct.
The Bible makes it known to us the place of wisdom in our Christian living. Wisdom is highly required to preach this gospel and win souls to the Lord Jesus Christ. If you are using a knife that is blunt to peel cassava, it will not be easy. You will put in a lot of effort, and a lot of energy to peel the cassava. You will suffer frustration because the knife is blunt. You have a blunt cutlass and you want to cut grasses or cut down a tree; what a great and fruitless energy you are going to apply. You will get discouraged.
The reason why the churches of God are getting discouraged in evangelism at this time is that “the Iron is blunt.” Instead of burning energy, spending money on outreaches without fruits, and becoming discouraged, sit down, sharpen your knife and you will see yourself performing well. When you see the fruits you will have joy and more interest in evangelism. Therefore you need wisdom because wisdom is profitable to direct.
Look at our field of evangelism. The world is turning away from God because of sinful civilization. The world is full of churches yet there is much argument, resistance, and attack on the truth. Through wisdom, we shall win some to Christ. So apply wisdom. The Bible tells us that he that wins souls must be a wise man.
Daniel 12:2-3 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life and some to everlasting contempt. 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.
Can you see what wisdom can do? If you want to turn the people to righteousness, there must be wisdom.
