📜AN IMPORTANT LESSON IN SOUL WINNING

"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven" (Matthew 5:16).

Sometimes, when you tell people to win souls, their minds go straight to someone they already know, perhaps a neighbour, flatmate or roommate, a friend, co-worker or relative. The same person they’ve been witnessing to for years but hasn’t responded. So, whenever soul winning is mentioned, that’s where their thoughts go.

While that may be okay, you need to understand something more about how soul winning works. Those closest to you often don’t need repeated persuasion. Your life already speaks to them. The Lord didn’t say keep talking until they see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. Rather, He said let your light so shine, referring to your Christian conduct and character, your walk in the Word. These already communicate Christ to them.

Therefore, don’t turn evangelism into endless arguments or repeated explanations with the same individuals. But more importantly, pray for them. Live the Word before them. Let your Christ-like life be the evidence. They’ll observe, reflect, and someday be ready to seek answers. At such a time, a simple explanation would be all they need.

But as long as they keep resisting and arguing with you, reach out to other people. Don’t allow familiarity to limit your reach. There are many who haven’t heard, many who are ready, many beyond your immediate circle, who will receive the Gospel when you speak. Reach out to those ones. Share the Gospel with those who are open and willing.

Sometimes, the adversary uses the same resistant individuals as a distraction, keeping you occupied while others who are ready remain unreached. Don’t fall into that trap. Be led by wisdom. Be intentional. Shine where you are, but go where the Spirit leads you.

CONFESSION

I’m guided by the wisdom of God to be effective in soul winning. My light shines everywhere, and those in my world see my Christ-life and glorify God. My life is a testimony of God’s truth, glory and righteousness, and through me, many are brought into salvation today, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

I live purposefully, fulfilling my ministry and calling in Christ Jesus. I refuse to allow anything to take my attention away from the Lord and His eternal Kingdom. I am not slothful in business; I am fervent in spirit, serving the Lord, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I've received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the Gospel of the grace of God. Hallelujah! I’m alive to God, and to a world of endless possibilities and everlasting triumphs. I experience success always, as I live in and by the Word of God, playing by a different set of rules.

Therefore, I fulfil all of God's plans for me, by His Word, I make my way prosperous and walk in absolute victory. I affirm that this second half of the year is a time of peace, a time of rest, a time of favour, a time of overflowing grace and a time of prosperity for me in the name of Jesus Christ. I affirm that this is the Month of Progression, a series of advancements in every area of my life. I am making tremendous progress by the Power of the Holy Ghost and God is causing it to happen in the name of Jesus Christ. Isaac sowed in the land of famine and began to prosper and continued prospering until he became very prosperous, this is my story in this month of progression because I am the seed of Abraham. Glory to God!! Hallelujah

THE UNVEILING OF TRUTH

"But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty… not handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God" (2 Corinthians 4:2).

Our opening scripture talks about the manifestation of “the truth.” But what is truth? We find the answer in the words of the Lord Jesus in John 17:17, “…thy word is truth.” God’s Word is truth. However, not everything quoted from the Bible is the Word in truth. For it to be the Word of God, it must be consistent with the doctrine of Jesus Christ and the provisions of the Gospel. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the unfolding of divine truth.

Outside the Gospel, truth remains veiled, but in the Gospel, truth is revealed, opened, and made clear. Truth was unknown until the Lord Jesus was manifested. He’s the unveiling of God’s plan, purpose, will, ideas and opinions. That’s why Paul uses the word “manifestation” (Greek: Phanerosis). It’s the same word used in 1 Corinthians 12:7: “But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.”

The manifestation of the Spirit is the outward expression of the Spirit in His varied dimensions. In the same way, the manifestation of the truth is the outward expression of the truth—God’s Word in and through us today. For you to truly live for Jesus Christ, you need to know His Word because you can’t manifest what you don’t know.

You have to first know the truth to walk in the truth, and as 3 John 1:4 says, “I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.” When you have imbibed the truth of God, it controls your mentality. It becomes your way of thinking and shapes your viewpoints, opinions and ideas. God's Word has taken a hold of your personality, and it’s being manifested through you.

So, God’s desire isn’t only for you to talk the truth but to live the truth, in reality. This is why you must not live your life on the basis of assumptions. Study the Word to know, for the Bible says, “Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD…” (Hosea 6:3). This is your calling: to know and manifest the truth in clarity, with conviction and with power. Glory to God!

PRAYER

Holy Father, I thank you for the Gospel of Jesus Christ, which is the unfolding of truth. My understanding is enlightened by your Spirit, and I walk in the light of your Word. I manifest the truth and express your righteousness and glory today, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
