Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace: For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city
(Acts 18:9-10).
As a soul winner, the Lord Himself is your defence. You can count on Him to protect and keep you from harm or evil as you go about witnessing to others about Jesus Christ. Be confident in His ever-present guidance and protection. You’re not alone in this divine assignment. He who sent you is with you, and He speaks to you and through you.
Think about Paul, in Acts 18, after he faced strong opposition from the Jews for preaching that Jesus is Lord, he turned to the Gentiles. The Lord guided Him and he led Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, his entire household, and many of the Corinthians to believe and receive salvation (Acts 18:7-8). Then the Bible says, “One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision: “Do not be afraid; keep on speaking, do not be silent. For I am with you, and no one is going to attack and harm you, because I have many people in this city.” So Paul stayed in Corinth for a year and a half, teaching them the word of God” (Acts 18:9-11 NIV).
The Lord didn’t leave Paul hamstrung or in uncertainty. He spoke to him and assured him of His ever-present guidance and protection. This happened in Corinth, a city so significant that Paul later wrote two epistles to the church there. In fact, from Bible study, we understand he even wrote a third letter that isn’t in the canon of Scripture.
But at that crucial moment in Corinth, Paul needed reassurance, and the Lord gave it to him. Emboldened by the Word of the Lord, Paul remained there for a year and six months, teaching the Word of God with boldness and power, raising disciples. And thanks be unto God, the same Spirit is working in, with and through you as you disciple others.
Be conscious of His ministry with, in and through you. He said, “…surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age” (Matthew 28:20 NIV). With Him, you’ll navigate oppositions and accomplish your divine assignment gloriously.
PRAYER: Dear Father, thank you for your ever-abiding presence and the assurance that I’m never alone. I’m guided by your Spirit, and strengthened to be effective, bold and courageous in soul winning. Thank you for those you’ve appointed and prepared to receive salvation today, as your truth is proclaimed all around the world, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
