STRATEGIC SOUL WINNING – Pastor Chris
…he that winneth souls is wise (Proverbs 11:30).
In our previous study, part of what we learnt was the importance of the right strategies in soul winning. Don’t continue with the same activities that yield no results. Adjust your approach from time to time, following the guidance of the Spirit. At times, the venue of the meetings could even be the problem. A simple shift in location or format of your meetings could make a significant difference. Also, evangelism may sometimes cost money, and that’s okay. So plan your outreaches like they’re important events.
Imagine you were planning a professional or business dinner or breakfast meeting; you’d likely not leave anything to chance. Likewise, ensure all the fine details are captured when planning your outreach programs. Dress well. Create a joyful atmosphere and make everything inspiring. And here’s a vital key: invite the right people, people who are prospects for salvation and discipleship, not those who are already Christians and deeply committed in other churches.
Also, avoid reciprocal invitations that may likely pull you out of your place of worship. Just because someone attended your program doesn’t mean you must attend theirs. It’s best to stay rooted in your church and be committed. There’s no glory in being unstable or hopping from place to place.
Soul winning is not just about the act; there’s also the wisdom behind it. That’s why the Bible says he that wins souls is wise (Proverbs 11:30). So, be discerning. Be led by the Spirit. And most importantly, be committed to your church family and its evangelistic missions.
PRAYER Dear Father, thank you for the wisdom and divine strategies to reach the lost. I’m effective in soul winning, wise in my approach, and fruitful in results. I follow the guidance of the Spirit at all times. I’m committed, fervent and full of joy as I reach out with the Gospel, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

If the iron be blunt, and he do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength: but wisdom [is] profitable to direct.
1 Corinthians 9:21-23 KJV
To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law. 22 To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all [men], that I might by all means save some. 23 And this I do for the gospel’s sake, that I might be partaker thereof with [you].
