TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN SOUL-WINNING (6): 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 Yahushua HaMashiach into soul-winning. Compassion is what causes the virtue to flow and brought the people both the Word of Yahweh and healing in the ministry of Yahushua. 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 Yahushua 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 Yahweh is shed abroad in my heart. The compassion of Yahweh is compelling me to reach out to the unsaved in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach 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 Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
