AUGUST 19th - CAPSULE 19
TOPIC: THE WISDOM TO WIN SOULS
BIBLE TEXT: Proverbs 11 vs. 30 – He that winneth soul is wise.
If you want to win someone to Christ today, use wisdom, especially in these 3 areas;
1. Don’t assume because they are raised in church that they understand; or because you’ve ‘lived the life’ before them, that they will get it by osmosis. Listen, “How can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard?” (Romans 10 vs. 14 NIV). Share your testimony – the short version. Forget the good advice, just give them the good news!
2. As much as you would like to close the deal right then, sometimes you have to sow the seed, and leave the rest to the Lord of the Harvest. Don’t try to corner them into praying the sinner’s prayer. Share the Word, leave the door open and trust the God who said, “I am watching over my Word to perform it” (Jeremiah 1 vs. 12).
3. When God speaks to you don’t out it off. R. A. Torrey had an experience that totally changed his attitude towards “soul-winning”. While eating in a restaurant with some friends, God impressed him to talk to the waiter about his soul. But he ignored it. An hour later, when the waiter didn’t return, Torrey inquired about him. The manager replied, “We just found him dead in the back of the restaurant. He hanged himself”. He committed suicide during the meal!
Prayer: Lord, let soul winning be my priority.
Insight: Remember when God leads you to speak to someone – do it! You may not get another opportunity.
