Reaching Souls
“Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?”
Do you consider yourself a man or woman of God?
I consider myself a mighty woman of God. There are always areas to improve and everyone has their giants and weaknesses. We all have things that we will struggle to overcome and things that we overlook. Some of us can be unwilling to see things that need improvement.
“22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.”
God called you to be a mighty soul winner for His Glory. Bringing souls to christ is the one ministry he has for all of us. he will use your gifts and talents to attract people that you were designed to reach.
We all know we are called to be baptized in Jesus name and filled with the Holy Ghost (the Holy Ghost being a promise from God). But what happens after that? Are there no true dedicated lovers of the Lord who will not only give a fish for someone to eat but will also teach them to fish?
As the saints of God we are called to be the salt and light in the world. We should be looking for those that are weary and broken. Search for the weak links in the chain and help to restore them, pray for Jesus give them newness in the Spirit. To bring Glory to God. If you see a brother or sister who is complacent and has lost passion to serve God don't pass them by. Pray for them. Pray with them. Give them Spiritual Encouragement even if you call them later on the phone or send them a text message out of the public's eye.
So many people want to be used of God but they don’t know how to get started. They see the ministries belonging to other saints in the church (announcements, teaching, children ministries, choir, ladies planning, cooking, etc.) They view themselves as unworthy or useless if they are not included in this. Some ministries are outside of the church building. This is where you need to begin to search for the Lord's direction. Let Him guide you.
When you pray for the Lord's guidance and direction he will show you. You will know where He is calling you. Make sure when he reveals your ministry that you are active in them. Don't compare your ministry to other people's ministries. The Lord has a special calling just for you.
Spend private time with the Lord daily. This is the most important thing. Focus there first. Make that your ministry. Once you are faithful to Him in private he will bring you to a place of KNOWING your ministries.
It is time for you to be honest with yourself and to be transparent before Jesus. Take a fine tooth comb and a microscope to your walk with God. Compare yourself to His word and seek His correction.
He is calling His true saints to increase in Him continually. We all move at a different pace, no matter where you are in Him, He is calling for an increase. It’s up to you. How much of an increase do you want? Do you only want a corner or do you want a triple portion? Only you can decide. Stay prayed up. Read your Word. And seek Jesus continually. That is all you need to focus on.
Let the Fruit of the Spirit encompass your walk with God.
It doesn’t matter if they attend your church or not. Pray for the Lord to show you who needs to be uplifted and guided. PRAY FOR JESUS TO BRING YOU SOULS for you to minister to. Do your part, all in Jesus Name and for His glory.
“Jesus Comforts His Disciples
14 “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. 2 My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. 4 You know the way to the place where I am going.”
Jesus the Way to the Father
5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?”
6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
ROLL UP YOUR SLEEVES, MEN AND WOMEN OF GOD. REMOVE YOURSELF FROM THE EQUATION AND BRING SOULS CLOSER TO JESUS.
