Rhapsody of Realities – 13th August 2025: MESSAGE
Some people think that before you can become effective in soul winning, you must first withdraw into isolation to build capacity. But the truth is, when it comes to soul winning, we build capacity while doing the work.
The Lord didn’t say “Build capacity first, then go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature”; no! Rather, He said straight on, “…Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:15). Also in Matthew 28:19, He said, “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations….” He didn’t say build capacity first.
That’s because you already have the Holy Spirit who is the real capacity builder. With Him living inside you, you have the required capacity for effective evangelism. He came into you to make you an effective soul winner: “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth” (Acts 1:8). Soul winning isn’t something for which you need another “extraordinary” preparation before you begin. 2
Corinthians 3:5-6 says, “Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think anything as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God; Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament….” Think about that! The Holy Spirit has already made you an able minister of the New Testament. He’s already built your capacity; all you have to do is launch out.
The more you win souls the more He increases His grace upon you to do more. So, build greater capacity as you do the work. This is how we grow in faith and develop greater effectiveness in ministry. Take time always to fast, pray, and study the Word; all these will fuel your passion for soul winning and evangelism. Let the Master return to find you diligently working, spreading the message of the Kingdom everywhere.
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for the wisdom and urgency of the Gospel. I declare that as I win souls, I am strengthened and equipped for greater works. I build capacity as I labour in the Gospel, and I am effective in fulfilling your call. Thank you for making me a fruitful labourer in your Kingdom, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
