But the believers who were scattered preached the Good News about Jesus wherever they went. Philip, for example, went to the city of Samaria and told the people there about the Messiah. Crowds listened intently to Philip because they were eager to hear his message and see the miraculous signs he did. …………… But now the people believed Philip’s message of Good News concerning the Kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ. As a result, many men and women were baptized. Then Simon himself believed and was baptized. He began following Philip wherever he went, and he was amazed by the signs and great miracles Philip performed?. Acts 8:4 -7, 12-13
Soul winning expands our territory. It takes us to unknown places and makes us acquainted with those previously unknown to us. It gives God the opportunity to use us to bless others.
A man was secluded to live in the graveyard by demons in the town of Gardarenes before Jesus got there. Jesus became his Saviour that delivered him from a legion of demons.
The man Jesus delivered was kept unproductive at the graveyard. As soon as he regained his mind he became serially productive such that, he alone propagated the gospel in ten cities. “And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis (ten cities) how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men did marvel” – Mark 5:20.
One soul that you win could be destined to win more souls than you. Andrew won Peter to Christ. “Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. He first finds his own brother Simon, and says unto him, We have found the Messiah, which is, being interpreted, the Christ” – John 1:40-41.
Peter, Andrew’s only soul, at his first public preaching won three thousand souls to Christ. “Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls” – Acts 2:41. Andrew would surely received a share of Peter’s reward.
Jesus has purchased souls in the warehouse of the world that must be redeemed. “Until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory” – Ephesians 1:14.
You can’t sit aloof. Your role is crucial. I tell you, souls are more important than any riches you can think of. Get involved with your time, your riches and your energy. Jesus has done greater part of the work. He has died for the souls. Our job is to evacuate the souls from the warehouse of the world. Let’s go now!!!
LET’S PRAY.
O Lord, give me grace enough to know that, the peace l give to society is winning the soul that has the capacity to rob it of peace in Jesus’ glorious name. Amen Amen Amen.
Fountain to your life
