Soul winning is the act of turning an unbeliever from darkness to light.
[Acts 26:15-19 KJV] “And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. [16] But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee; [17] Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee, [18] To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me. [19] Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision:”
It is the art of persuading a non-believer to believe in God by believing His written word.
[Luke 24:44-46 KJV] “And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. [45] Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, [46] And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:”
It is persuading men everywhere to apply the truth of God’s word to their everyday life.
[John 8:31-34 KJV] “Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; [32] And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. [33] They answered him, We be Abraham’s seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free? [34] Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin”.
So, why should you become a soul winner?
1. We are called to be soul winners:
Christ Jesus died for all, that those who live should not live unto themselves but unto He who died for them. We have the word and the ministry of reconciliation.
[2 Corinthians 5:15-20 KJV] “And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again. [16] Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more. [17] Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. [18] And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; [19] To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. [20] Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God”.
2. Those who turn many to righteousness shall shine as the stars:
Those who win souls shall shine as stars forever. There are many eternal rewards that await you when you get involved in soul winning. The Bible assures us that those who win souls shall shine as stars forever.
[Daniel 12:3 KJV] “And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever”.
Your luminance in the realms of the spirit is determined by how many people you turn to righteousness. Those who get involved in soul winning shine and shine brighter.
3. When you convert a sinner, you have saved a soul from death;
Indeed, the soul that sins shall die; We must, therefore, be committed to turning sinners away from the Lake of Fire. please there is nothing as priceless as saving a soul from death.
[James 5:19-20 KJV] “Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him; [20] Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.
4. Those who reap and gather unto life eternal receives wages:
God rewards and blesses those who win souls. The harvest is ready and the fields are white; we can’t wait anymore. We must arise and get involved to tap the full wages and rewards of working in the field.
[John 4:34-38 KJV] “Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work. [35] Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest. [36] And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together. [37] And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth. [38] I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours”.
I pray that the Lord will give each of us the grace to become soul winners. I pray that you will feel the heartbeat of God for souls. None shall perish, the Lord shall sustain you and give us grace to press on. You shall not fail.
The harvest is ready and cannot wait anymore. The souls are dying and many are wailing. God is counting on us to bring in the harvest. We can not slack or wait anymore. We must arise and shake the nations with the gospel. We must reach the unreached with the power that saves those who believe. May the Lord bless you!
I love you;
Noah Simpe Bediako
