FERVENT IN SOUL WINNING – Pastor Chris
…the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day (Proverbs 4:18).
In Matthew 5:16, the Lord Jesus said, _*“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”*_ The Bible says in Romans 12:11, _*“Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord.”*_
Serving the Lord as the above verses say, the passion and inspiration of the Spirit in your life is contagious. It overflows and becomes a source of inspiration for those around you. You naturally become a soul winner. When you speak, you pour out spirit and life, impacting your hearers with the power and blessings of the Gospel of Christ.
Now, that inspiration is something you must maintain. And one of the ways to maintain it is keeping yourself filled with the Spirit always as Ephesians 5:18-21 teaches (study the entire reference). When you’re filled with the Spirit, you proclaim the Word of God with boldness. That’s the evidence of being filled with the Spirit as seen in the lives of the Apostles (Acts 4:31).
When you’re truly inspired by the Holy Spirit, you’re a bold and effective witness for Jesus Christ; you never stop winning souls. True soul winners don’t retire or grow weary in their mission; they’re forever active doing the Lord’s work. 1 Corinthians 15:58 says, _*“Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord….”*_ Your soul-winning efforts should always be on the increase because you’re filled with the Spirit.
If you were winning three souls per week, you should aim to increase that number, perhaps to 10, or maybe even 30. Maintain your zeal and fervour for soul winning. Remember, soul winning is God’s heartbeat; it’s the most important assignment that He committed to our trust. Therefore, do it with passion, diligence and in the power of the Holy Spirit.
