And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.
John 4:36 (KJV)
Understand that there is no failure in the harvest field. Winning souls involves both “sowing” and “reaping.” Jesus used these terms in talking to His disciples as recorded in John 4:35-38. Exactly what is the difference between “sowing” and “reaping?” Sowing is the work necessary to enable the seed to enter the ground so that one day harvest is reaped! In agriculture, sowing involves preparing the soil and planting the seed. In winning souls to Christ, sowing likewise involves preparation and planting: (a) In which the hearts are being prepared for the reception of the gospel. (b) In which the hearts are first introduced to the gospel and its principles. Reaping is the actual “harvesting” of what has been sown. In agriculture, reaping is the collection of the fruits which have produced by the sowing into the barn or storage facilities for preservation. In winning souls, reaping is that harvesting which occurs when souls who have had the Word planted in their hearts decide to obey it and are subsequently planted in the local church! What is important to appreciate is the statement quoted by Jesus in John 4:37, “One sows and another reaps.” Those who sow do not always witness the reaping that may one day occur. And many times those who reap are benefiting from the efforts of those who did the sowing before them. In evangelism, this means that often times you will be sowing the seed and it may appear that you are not getting any results. But some time later those souls you were trying to reach may decide to finally obey the gospel and another Christian may actually do the reaping in your place! Then again, there will be times when people just sort of “fall into your lap,” ready and anxious to obey the gospel with little effort on your part. In this case, you are reaping what others have sown! The point to keep in mind is that evangelism involves both “sowing” and “reaping,” and there will be times when what you sow will be reaped by someone else. Let this be an encouragement to you when it appears that you are not reaping as you would hope. You might actually be making it much easier for some brother or sister in the future!
So in evangelism, there is nothing like failure if there is faithfulness in planting the Word in the hearts of people. What you should concern yourself is to make sure that you are faithful in planting the Word; that you are diligent in preparing the ground for the Word to do well. Whatever then becomes the outcome in terms of instant decisions for Christ is still success. Sowing the Word is as much success as the person that reaps the soul into the kingdom. Without what you have done, that reaping wouldn’t have been possible probably. So you are a success anyhow the tide turns in the harvest field. This is the mentality God wants you to have. God is expecting you to be faithful. “Moreover, it is required of a steward that a man be found faithful” (I Corinthians 4:2). So the requirement is FAITHFULNESS. As a believer, are you faithful in preparing the ground of the heart in intense intercession, breaking off the hold of the god of this world over the minds of the souls you are about ministering the Word? Are you faithful in speaking the Word and not the wisdom of man? These are the points of success in the evangelism and soul-winning. If you are faithful, you should not be bordered if the number of decisions are not encouraging because you are just sowing and the harvest will surely be reaped.
An important element of success in personal work is perseverance and faithfulness. Those who persist in sowing the seed eventually bear fruit. The problem with many people is wrong perspectives and negative attitudes. That translates into failure, no matter what the task is at hand. If you have wrong perspective that it is the decisions you record that determines your success in the harvest field, you may be faced with discouragement, meanwhile, that perspective is wrong according to our opening text. It is wrong perspective and attitudes that makes for failure. May the Lord help you correct every wrong perspective and attitude and help you maintain the winning attitude in soul-winning in the name of Christ Jesus!
REMEMBER: Remember that one sows and another reaps.
PRAYER: Dear Father, thank you for the revelation of your word. I receive grace to be faithful in the sowing and reaping in the harvest field. Thank You for the immense harvest of souls daily in the name of Christ Jesus Amen!
PROPHETIC RELEASE: I decree grace to be faithful released upon you now in the name of Christ Jesus Amen!

Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
Joshua 1:9 (KJV)
Courage is essential for a soldier in battle and for a soldier of Christ in the fight of faith (Ephesians 6:10-18). Courage is the strength of the soul. God has no use for cowards (Hebrews 10:38-39). Spiritual strength includes steadfastness, bravery, faith in God and honesty. It does not come by accident. It is deliberately developed. Courage is boldness to dare anything in the harvest field. It is only the courageous that becomes the victorious. Whatever you cannot dare, you can never take. The seriousness of a man’s face or his high fence, does not scare you. Until courage is in place, conquest is not in view. To be successful in the harvest field, therefore, one must be very courageous. Courage to tell the truth. Courage to preach the undiluted word of God. Courage not to fear at the faces of the people. Jeremiah 1:8 says, ‘Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the Lord.’ It takes courage to preach somethings the Holy Spirit will give you.
It takes courage to worship God in some places and countries today. We saw situation like that in Babylon where Daniel was a captive (Dan. 6). By divine providence Daniel was one of the three presidents under the kingdom of Babylon. He was impeccably honest (vv. 3-5). He openly served God knowing that he was risking his position and his life (v. 10). He would not compromise his service to God for any reason. He overcame through God (vv. 16, 22). It takes courage to stand against sin. We saw in the lives Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. (Dan. 3). It takes courage to flee evil. Joseph is a clear example (Genesis 39). It takes Courage to fight (even when no one else will): David (1 Samuel 17). It takes courage to teach the truth. Prophet Nathan confronted King David at God’s word and that could have cost him his life.
How do we come about this courage. First, righteous living makes bold. Proverbs 28:1 says, ‘The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.’ It is not possible to walk boldly in unrighteousness. Sin corrupts your courage and turns it into bold face but bold face is not courage. As long as you are committed to walking in righteousness and holiness, you will see yourself manifest courage. Second, the baptism of the Holy Spirit imparts courage. Acts 4:29-31 says that they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and they spoke the word of God with boldness. The baptism of the Holy Ghost is for boldness in the harvest field. When you are a person given to praying in the tongues of the Spirit, you will exhibit tremendous courage in the harvest field. It takes courage to see miracles. As you declare boldly the Word, the manifestation is called miracles. Acts 14:3 says, ‘Long time therefore abode they speaking boldly in the Lord, which gave testimony unto the word of his grace, and granted signs and wonders to be done by their hands.’ As they spoke boldly, signs and wonders were done by their hands. Courage is the springboard of signs and wonders. Whether in your life or in the harvest field learn to speak boldly the Word of God because that is the platform for the manifestation of signs and wonders.
REMEMBER: It takes courage to command signs and wonders and it takes signs to command the attention of souls.
CONFESSION: Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. I function in the righteousness of God and anointed to speak boldly with attendant signs following. Hallelujah!
PROPHETIC RELEASE: From today as you say it, you shall see it in the name of Christ Jesus Amen!

And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
Galatians 6:9 (KJV)
There is no other work that require so much patience and perseverance like the kingdom business of soul winning. This is because people are not usually won to Christ in a day. There is the process of planting the seed of the Word of God, watering the seed and time for it to grow. Then in growth, there are different stages and they require time and efforts. The soul-winner needs to continue doing well because in due season, he/she will reap. To be successful therefore, in soul-winning, patience and perseverance is none negotiable. The devil does not have power but what he does is to try to weary you into abandoning the course you are pursuing. No wonder, patience is part of the fruit of the recreated human spirit because you need it in your confrontations with Satan and the gates of hell. Satan will throw many things at you to weary you. Daniel 7:25 says, ‘And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.’ If you understand the way the devil operate, you will know that patience is a vital weapon against the wearing out ministry of the devil. The devil is always seeking to wear you out. You must understand that.
When you begin to see certain manifestations of people in the harvest field that irritate you and that seeks to discourage you, understand that it is the wearing out activities of the devil at work. In the face of such, deploy patience to wear out that devil instead of you getting worn out, let the devil give up. There are people you will meet in the harvest field that will be slow to respond to the gospel. They will eventually respond but they would drag and drag. If you are not patient, you would give up and miss that harvest. Knowing that, as the Spirit ministers to you about a soul, even though it doesn’t look like what will come around, stay put and be patient. Another thing is as a soul-winner consider how long it is taking you to respond to the Holy Spirit. There are things the Holy Spirit has told you that you are yet to respond to His demands. If the Holy Spirit has not been patient with you, probably you wouldn’t even be saved let alone being enlisted into the kingdom business. When you think of the patience of the Holy Spirit with you, then you would know that you cannot be less to the souls in the harvest field.
Perseverance prompts one, after teaching one person—whether he succeeds or fails—to seek out another person, then another, then another, ad infinitum. Apostle Paul exhibited this virtue so well. They would stone him in one city, as soon as he recovers, he is off to another city to continue his preaching. Perseverance preserves you from getting discouraged because of the negative outcomes of your endeavours. As you employ these virtues, I see you begin to make news in the harvest field thereby securing for yourself unimaginable breakthroughs.
REMEMBER: You need patience and perseverance to weary the devil out.
CONFESSION: I do not give up. I am the one that wear the devil out in any and every confrontation. The virtue of patience and perseverance are being fully developed in my character to the glory of God. Hallelujah!!
PROPHETIC RELEASE: Every agenda of Satan to wear you out is set ablaze now in the name of Christ Jesus Amen!

TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN SOUL-WINNING (7): COMPASSION DRIVEN
But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.
Matthew 9:36 (KJV)
Compassion was the energy that drove Christ Jesus into soul-winning. Compassion is what causes the virtue to flow and brought the people both the Word of God and healing in the ministry of Jesus. Compassion is coming to a deep awareness of another’s suffering and out of sympathy and empathy doing something about it. Understanding the eternal position of the unsaved soul is something that will drive any humane soul to doing something to help. Even though you are tired and needed rest, you go in search of a new convert or to share a tract or word with someone because you understand that the person can exit life at any time and then face eternity unprepared. The understanding of the state of the unsaved evokes compassion and compassion drives gospel campaign. To be successful in soul-winning therefore, compassion is very vital. You want to function in the healing anointing, then you must be compassion-driven. Matthew 14:14 says, ‘And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.’ The unction flows in the direction of compassion and the preaching of the gospel is unction-driven. ‘For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance;’ (I Thessalonians 1:5).
Another thing about compassion is that it is a seed and what you sow is what you reap. As you sow compassion into the lives of others, you inevitably begins to reap same in your own life. The truth is what is sown doesn’t just come back in the exact proportion that it was sown but it is always pressed down, shaken together and running over. Somehow whatever anyone does, of the same shall he/she receive of the Lord. Ephesians 6:8 says, ‘Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.’ So the issue of compassion isn’t just about winning soul but also it’s about the law of seed time and harvest. The truth is that the seeds of compassion we sow in the souls of the unsaved speak for our generations unborn. There is what you are doing today that is an investment into your generations unborn. It speaks in time for you and throughout all eternity. What a life!
What is it that powers compassion? It is the Understanding of the Word that imparts compassion. The Word gives you a mindset. It is a mindset of divine provision for humanity. When that mindset is in place, anything that is not consistent with that provision in the lives of others will evokes a response to see them corrected and helped. The more of the Word you know, the more heart of compassion you develop. As a soul-winner, you must be taking in the Word on daily basis. You must be a Word addict, consistently eating the Word for your spiritual health and development. The Word will develop compassion in you and guarantee that you are successful in Kingdom business. Selah!
REMEMBER: Compassion imparts unction to function in the harvest field.
PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for your word to me today. I am love born and the love of God is shed abroad in my heart. The compassion of God is compelling me to reach out to the unsaved in the name of Christ Jesus Amen!
PROPHETIC RELEASE: I decree that the seeds of compassion that you are sowing in the lives of the unsaved begin to speak in your own personal affairs in the name of Christ Jesus Amen!

TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN SOUL-WINNING (6): A FIRM CONVICTION ON ETERNITY
when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, 8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
II Corinthians 1:7-8 (KJV)
For you to be successful in soul-winning, you must have a firm conviction that anyone that does not obey Jesus and His gospel is lost in eternity in the lake of fire. That is what our opening text is saying in essence. Jesus Christ is the way to eternity in heaven. There is no alternative whatsoever. You must be fanatical to this conviction that the gospel is the only escape route from the destruction that awaits every unsaved soul. If it is, then you hold the key to someone’s eternity in heaven. That is a grave realization. It is that understanding that drives one to attack the task of the gospel with reckless abandon. Think about it, all the people you know now that do not obey the gospel are hell bound unless they repent and obey the gospel. And to think that this same gospel of salvation has been committed to your trust is so sobering to think about. No wonder Apostle Paul said that he was made all things to all people so that he might by all means save some (I Corinthians 9:22). See what Apostle Paul says in II Corinthians 5:11, ‘Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.’ He understood that humanity is lost without the gospel. This gave him the temerity to persuade men into the Kingdom of God.
Come to think of it, people are lost if they wouldn’t obey the gospel, but how many know and understand this fact. Lost humanity can argue blindly with you as they hopelessly stroll into a doomed eternity. Seeing that they do not understand the gravity of the matter, we persuade them and for some even compel to turn to the Lord. All these efforts is because we understand in the first place that it is a matter of life and death even though they may not realize this at the time. To be successful therefore, one must be firmly convicted that humanity is on their way to eternity without hope without the gospel of the Lord Jesus. This is very crucial.
This consciousness helps you as a person to maintain your salvation because you are gravely aware of the consequences of not doing so. Having a firm conviction of eternity without Christ not only help you succeed in the gospel business but it also empowers vigilance in your own personal Christian walk. Apostle Paul says that he keeps his body under and brings it into subjection least after preaching to others he would be a castaway (see I Corinthians 9:27). That consciousness helps in maintaining personal purity and integrity. You can confirm this fact in the lives of some Christians that do not care about the gospel; they live anyhow. Most don’t have eternity consciousness at all. It shows in the way they run after the things of the world. If you are not actively bearing the gospel, it maybe a sign that you are not eternity conscious and consequently not rapture ready.
REMEMBER: Having a firm conviction helps you not only succeed in the harvest field but also maintain personal purity and integrity.
CONFESSION: I know that humanity is lost without Christ Jesus and that the gospel holds the key to the eternity of all human race. This powers my tenacity in taking the gospel to all in my sphere of contacts. Glory to God, they are responding positively!. Hallelujah!
PROPHETIC RELEASE: I decree you shall not be a castaway in the name of Christ Jesus Amen!
