Evangelism As A Lifestyle (4)

1Cor.9v16: For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast of, for necessity is laid upon me; yes, woe is me if I do not preach the gospel!

You are welcome back to our discussion on making Soul-Winning part and parcel of our lifestyles. One of the easiest ways to become successful in Soul-Winning is for you to imbibe the culture of winning souls into your operations. The great Apostle Paul as we can see in our text scripture in (1Corinthians 9 verse 16), made the issue of soul winning a necessity in his life. It was not an option or something that he could do at other times but something he ought to do. In other words, he had this conviction and compulsion within him that he had to be a diligent soul-winner. If he could successfully imbibe the culture and practice of soul winning, then you and I can do the same because God is not a respecter of persons but a respecter of faith. Therefore, God wants us to move from seeing the mandate of winning souls as something that we do when we have the chance to do so to become part of how we live, what we do, and our operations. This is the primary goal of this series of teachings, and I trust that at the end of the day, the Spirit of being a diligent soul winner will have been caught by you in Jesus name. So how can someone imbibe the culture of winning Souls? By the special grace of God, today, I will share two more principles that will help you in this regard how to make evangelism your lifestyle.

6. Once you start winning souls, don’t stop or quit doing so. For it will make you lose momentum and ultimately your zeal. Keep at it no matter what happens; this is how to make something a part of you. It doesn’t matter how many times you fall or fail, keep working at it. What is important is for you not to stop because the more you do something, the better you become at doing it and also the better that thing ultimately becomes in your hands. This is how to build momentum and cultivate strong habits. So once you start winning souls, never look back; keep striving for the best. Keep pushing until you hit the flow. Keep winning souls until it becomes a part of your life and your operations; this is the secret of those who become successful soul winners. It’s time for you also to imbibe these habits so that you can be more productive in the business of winning souls (Eccle.11v6).

1. Work in partnership with others. There is a principle that is called the principle of yoking. It is a principle of working with others so that you can become better at what you do. In order to imbibe the culture of winning Souls, it is important that you yoke yourself with someone who is already a better soul winner. This is why Jesus sent out his disciples in groups or in twos. He realised the tremendous power of working together with others. He understood the principle of working with others because it will ultimately boost your confidence levels and help you get better results. While it is good for someone to walk alone, it is far better to walk with others. There is a great power and advantage in working with others. So one way you can boost your capacity to win souls is by yoking yourself with the more experienced people along these lines. Anointing can rub off on people by influence, environment and association. This is why you need to find the right company to be able to accomplish the business of winning souls on an easy level. Find out the dynamic relationships that God has placed around your life so that it can help you become a better soul winner today; in this way, you also take your capacity for winning souls to another level (Acts 9v28-29).

Dearly beloved, it’s time to make soul-winning a part of your life and operations! Doing this will help you in becoming a better soul winner today.
