THE BLESSEDNESS OF SOUL WINNING

THE BLESSEDNESS OF SOUL WINNING “… Run, speak unto this young man, saying, jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls for the multitude of men and cattle therein. For I,saith the lord, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be glory in the midst of her.” Zech 2:4-5 Soul winning remains the most profitable endeavour and will actually qualify to be called the master key of life in the kingdom. The bible recognizes every soul winners as a fisherman-matt 4:19. And according to scriptures, there is a coin in the mouth of every fish caught. “Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take,and give unto them for me and thee” Matt 17:27 Piece of money here simply means a coin. If only people will know how much value GOD places on human souls and how much reward await every soul winner,we would have fulfilled the great commission. Jesus said, “…for what is a man profited, if he sahll gain the whole world,and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?” Matt 16:26 That implies that the wealth of the whole world put together cannot compare in value with the worth of a reddemed soul. No wonders Jesus went further to say that there is joy in heaven for every one soul that repent –LK 15:7 Because the value of a redeemed soul is inestimable, the reward that accrues to a soul winner is equally inestimable. Jesus went further to say; and he that reapeth receiveth wages, and (as he gathereth fruit unto life eternal). John 4:35 That means that God pays every soul winner and ingatherer. Why do I say that there is a coin in the mouth of every fish? Jesus said, “…go thou to the sea, and cast an hook,and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth,thou shalt find a piecfe of money: that take , and give unto them for me and thee” . - Matt 17:27 He did not ask them to search out which of the fishes has a coin. This implies that there must be a coin in the mouth of every fish caught. There ia s coin in the mouth of every fish. But we cannot access the coin until you have caught the fish. Let’s therefore go a-fishing so that we can access our divine wages. John 4:35 What then is the worth of this coin and how much value does this coin carry?  DIVINE FAVOUR Divine favour is the gateway to fortune in life. –John 15:16, -Ps. 102:13-15  DIVINE HEALTH Every fruit-bearing branch is entitled to divine health. Because the labourers are few, he is committed to keeping fit the few – John 15:2 A faithful ambassador is entitled to sound health. –prov.13:17  DIVINE WISDOM Soul winning makes wise – Dan 12:3, Prov 11:30  DIVINE PRESERVATION Every fruit bearing tree enjoys supernatural sustainability.--- Lk 13:6-9. John 15:2 Any branch that does not bear fruit, He takes away – Jn 15:2  DIVINE IMMUNITY Every one reconciling souls to Christ is an ambassador and ambassador is entitled to immunity in the nation of his stewardship. – 2Cor 5:20  SUPERNATURAL BREAKTHROUGH Peter invested in reaching out to souls by offering his boat and he has supernatural breakthrough as his reward. Every soul winner is entitled to supernatural breakthrough (Lk 5:1-7).  SUPERNATURAL SUPPLIES Soul winning connects one to supernatural supplies “And he that reapeth, receiveth wages …” John 4:36, Lk 22:35  SUPERNATURAL BEAUTIFICATION Soul winning supernatural beautifies the soul winner “… How beautifiul are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace…” – Rm 10:15,Ps. 149:4  SIGNS AND WONDERS Soul winning commands the flow of signs and wonders “And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the lord working with (them), and confirming the word with signs following.” (Mk 16:20, John 14:21)  CROWN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS Soul winning guarantees a crown of righteousness “Henceforth ther is laid up for me a crown of righteousness,which the lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.” (2Tim 4:8) Soul winning qualifies you as one tha loves his appearing, and for all that love His appearing, a crown of righteousness awaits them. In this season of harvest, arise to fulfill the waves of glory prophecy by emgaging actively in soul winning this year. Jesus is Lord! Bishop David O. Oyedepo
