TOPIC: Dividends of Soul Winning
SCRIPTURE: You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you and ordained you, that you should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain. And whatsoever you shall ask of the Father in my name, He may give it to you.
John 15:16,
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: A committed soul winner commands authority over demonic forces, witches, wizards, and the occult.
Soul winning is a crucial aspect of a dedicated Christian life. No Christian can be confirmed to be dedicated and not be interested in winning souls. Soul winning was the bedrock of apostolic Christianity. Dedicated Christianity is synonymous with soul winning.
This explains why Paul the apostle was so passionate about soul winning that he said in 1 Corinthians 9:16 that the curse be upon him if he did not preach the gospel:
Now, we serve a God of due reward. He rewards those who serve Him in soul winning. That is why it is important to know the dividends of soul winning. This enables us to know what to trust God for. As we fulfill our part of the bargain, we must remember that God is a covenant-keeping God. If we do what He expects of us, He will fulfill His promises to us. So, we need to understand that soul-winning is part of our covenant walk with God.
As soul winners, we have clear expectations from God. God has committed Himself and is covenant-bound to fulfilling certain obligations to us.
That brings us to the dividends of soul-winning:
- Divine Presence
The soul winner is an effortless carrier of Divine Presence. Mark 16:20 says, And they went forth, and the Lord went with them… The Presence of God is one of our greatest assets in life—it is a door opener, a source and secret of rest.
No wonder, Exodus 33:14 says, My presence will go with you and I will give you rest. Acts 10:38 also confirms that God’s Presence equals the anointing. How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
When you engage in soul-winning, you will reach a point where anywhere you show up, God shows up.
- Supernatural Manifestations (signs and wonders)
The soul winner has the right to expect supernatural manifestations in signs and wonders. Mark 16:15,17-18.
Miracles are common in evangelism – in crusades, street and personal evangelism. You pray for people and things happen. These manifestations extend beyond the field of evangelism into other areas of your life, bringing supernatural breakthroughs in your business, career, and other personal endeavours.
- Spiritual Authority
Soul-winning positions you as an authority in the spirit realm. That is why Luke 10:17-19 says:
And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name… Behold, I give unto you the power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
This happened after they returned from evangelism: their spiritual authority over the forces of darkness was confirmed. When you give yourself completely to soul-winning, you come to a point where you can effortlessly command and be obeyed. You gain authority in the realm of the spirit over the powers of darkness.
A committed soul winner commands authority over demonic forces, witches, wizards, and the occult. You will be spiritually empowered to exercise dominion over the forces of darkness.
- Divine Preservation
Divine preservation is another dividend of soul winning. As a committed soul-winner, what harms others cannot harm you because you are a candidate for divine preservation. You are in the realm of divine immunity.
Luke 10:19 gives the assurance of divine immunity, …Nothing shall by any means hurt you. And Mark 16:18 adds, They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them. This means soul winners enjoy divine protection from harm and destruction.
- Divine Health and Vitality
God Himself is responsible to make you whole and well when you are a dedicated soul-winner. John 15:2 says, Every branch in me that bears fruit, He purges it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
This means God removes from you anything that can weaken you or limit your ability to be effective in your assignment for Him. He takes away any confrontation of your vitality, energy and strength. He takes them away so you can continue to be useful to Him. When you serve God in soul winning, He services your health so you can live a healthy life. Soul winners enjoy supernatural health, strength and energy, enabling them to carry out their Kingdom assignments without weariness.
Many people wonder how we do the things we do, going from one crusade to another, from one nation to the other with so much energy and strength; we are being serviced by God Himself.
Beloved, make soul-winning your priority; your victory on earth is sure and your eternal reward is guaranteed.
Remember This: A committed soul winner commands authority over demonic forces, witches, wizards, and the occult.
ASSIGNMENT(S)
- Ask God for grace to do away with anything that is hindering you from becoming a soul-winning Christian.
- Make up your mind to win souls through the help of the Holy Spirit.
PRAYER: Father, I ask that You set me on fire for You and give me an unquenchable passion for soul winning. I receive the dividends of soul winning as I continue to win soul, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
