Soul Winning is an essential tool and way to reach out to the lost souls all over the globe. I thank God for this amazing platform which allows the knowledge of God to be imparted to the world.
What is Soul Winning?
I personally define Soul Winning as the act of preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ to the world with the aim of bringing more people to the knowledge and love of God.
We first have to understand that every soul is a potential answer for a family, school or nation. And the price paid for every soul was the blood of Jesus and nobody is useless.
Why do we evangelize?
1- God depends on me to win souls : (2 Cor 5:17-19, Acts 13:1-3)
God won't come himself to win a soul on earth, but he will send you and I to do that, that is why he sent the Holy spirit to help us in the winning of souls. We can read Acts 1:8, where Jesus Christ said you shall receive power after that the holy ghost has come upon you. The power he was talking about there was to help you evangelize.
2- Necessity is laid upon me to preach (1Cor 9:16, Ezekiel 3:18-21)
God gave prophet Ezekiel a warning and that was about evangelism. If a person beside us dies or commits iniquity or falls from his righteousness to unrighteousness while we as Christians didn't help him get back to his feet by evangelism, his blood will be on our hands.
3- We know the terror of God (2 Cor 5:11, Revelation 20:11-15)
We will be judged on the last day according to our works and knowing that we lived a righteous life and didn't evangelize pits us in a wrong position to enter into the throne room.
The bible says he that winneth a soul is wise🙏🏾
How to win souls
- Be creative and not religious. Jesus Christ showed us this creativity in Matthew 4:19
- Don't judge men from their circumstances
- Don't accuse them as sinners. It is not their fault to sin but they're caught into the web of sin
- Ensure to show scriptures Isaiah 53:6, Romans 10:9-10
source - Let them know that the prove they are born again is not a feeling but the efficacy of God's word 2Cor 5:7
- Never threaten them with sin or hell. Show them the love of God. 2Cor 5:14, Rom 5:5
- Never ask them if they're saved
- ALWAYS DEPEND ON THE HOLY SPIRIT
- Be firm but gentle, kind and loving
- Have a testimony of what you preach. Acts 1:2
THE APPROACH
1- Have a common ground John 4:6-15
- It gets the person's attention
- Allows them to express themselves
- It gets them relaxed
- Opens their heart to the message.
2- Be sensitive to the Holy spirit
Acts 28:29
[29]And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, and had great reasoning among themselves.
The holy spirit is the master soul winner. He knows everything so don't be stereotyped or religious. ( Acts 16:7-9, John 4:3-4)
3- You must be Prayerful 2Cor 4:3)
Before, during and after soul winning you have to pray and let the holy ghost take over your day.
What your prayer does is that it deals with the demonic atmosphere of the soul (Colossians 4:12).
There must be a prayer and it is not English language nor eloquence.
4- Be compassionate, patient and persistent
5- Refuse to be discouraged
Because you aren't working for man but you're working for God.
- uproot every negative thoughts projecting in your heart
- You need to understand that you're sowing a seed
- God is proud of you Rom 10:15
- it is a divine privilege to win souls
6- There is a time for decision making
Always get them to make a decision because it is what makes a difference and make them understand the impact of their action.
The decision imparts eternal life and credits righteousness into their hearts.
Thanks for reading through and go in this thy might to win a soul for Christ. God bless you, Shalom❤️
My mum used to say soul winning is the heartbeat of the Father! Which was reflected through out the Journey of Jesus on earth. He said I came to do the will of my Father that sent me. And the will of my Father is to seek and to save the Lost. Am so happy for you bro, the ability to stand for Christ without been ashamed. One of the most important things I learned from this Write up is to fully depend on the Holy Spirit no matter what

Amen. Thanks brother. Your mom said it right! It was primarily because of souls he gave his only son to die. Because of love 🙏🏾

Winning souls is one of the highest activities that proves ones love for the kingdom.
We cannot hear of a good news and keep it to ourselves. It is only right to share and bring people as much as possible to the Kingdom.
Rapture is near and the least we can do is to create awareness about the evil days ahead.
