  • TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN SOUL-WINNING (3): BE COMMITTED

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN SOUL-WINNING (3): BE COMMITTED

    And Yahushua said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of Yahweh.
    Luke 9:62 (KJV)

    It was Che Guevara who said, “We cannot be sure of having something to live for unless we are willing to die for it.” Martin Luther King Jr. says, ‘A man who does not have something for which he is willing to die is not fit to live.’ Until you are willing to die for something you are not worthy to live. We are talking about commitment to the gospel. Commitment is the trait of sincere and steadfast fixity of purpose. It means that you focus on a purpose steadfastly no matter what comes. To be successful in soul-winning you must be committed. It would take your time to pray, preach, follow-up and your money too. Everything you have got must be involved in order to see success. First, recognize that this is kingdom business. Like every other business, you must plan, budget, execute, evaluate outcome and re-strategise. Which group of people are you aiming at reaching out to? The group will inform your strategy. For instance, if you are reaching out to teenagers, then you will have to think and behaviour like a teenager yourself to be able to reach them. You must be very patient and a good listener. No matter the group you are reaching out to, commitment is a must. If you give the gospel 30% of the attention you give your career/business, you will see such result that will amaze you. The results that have eluded us is only a function of lack of commitment on our part.

    Interestingly Yahweh does not do something with someone that is not committed. Our text says that no one that puts his hands on the plough and looking back is fit for the kingdom of Yahweh. You are disqualified immediately it is notified that you are showing signs of no commitment. Non-committal is a disqualification criterion in the army of the Lord. You must be committed not in word but indeed. Until your commitment is certified, success as a soul-winner is not in view. See the kind of commitment that makes people a success in the harvest field, listen to Apostle Paul, ‘For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!’ (I Corinthians 9:16). Commitment is placing necessity upon yourself in regards to the gospel. It is giving yourself a target of souls that must be established in Church and driving yourself to achieve it. Most of our jobs are target-driven, and we strive to meet and exceed our targets in our various jobs but can we just be target-driven in regards to souls?

    It is commitment that is driving results. If we are going to be results-oriented in our soul-winning task, we must be target-driven and commitment conscious. Beloved, how can you be committed today? How can you improve on your level of commitment to the gospel today? Time is running out. There is an urgency in the Spirit to rush in and preserve the harvest from decadence. Will you respond? Will you carry-on as if there is nothing? This is your opportunity to see divinity manifest in your affairs as you commit to Kingdom expansion business. That prayer point that has been on your mind for a long time now, can be tackled in a flash by the power of Yahweh if you can just commit to the heart of the Father in these last hours of the age. Selah!

    REMEMBER: Until there is commitment, there can be no results.

    CONFESSION: Sweet Heavenly Father, thank you for making my life beautiful giving me an opportunity to be your witness to the peoples of the world. I receive grace to be more committed in my primary assignment. I up my game from today and go wide for the gospel. So help me Yahweh! Glory!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: Everything contending with your commitment to the gospel is cursed today in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • WAYS YOU CAN GET INVOLVED (3): COMPELLING INVITATION

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Saturday February 13, 2021

    WAYS YOU CAN GET INVOLVED (3): COMPELLING INVITATION

    And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.
    Luke 14:23 (KJV)

    To compel is to force somebody to do something. There are people you will meet, that they themselves don’t know what they want. It is reality. Yahushua HaMashiach says compel them to come to my house that my house may be filled. A compelling invitation to HaMashiach and to the Church is an invitation that literally moves the invitees to the Church. You pull off every form of resistance to that invitation. “Oh I don’t have money to come”, you pull out cash and give for transport. You do everything to necessitate compliance to the invitation. Beloved, the Lord Yahushua has said that you should compel them to come. You should never attend Church without someone following you. When you go to Church and see any empty seat, then you are reminded of the instruction to compel them to come so that my house may be filled. Ensure that someone is going to Church with you. “Come and see Yahushua today” and ensure that there is no objection to that invitation. You have all it takes to make a compelling invitation.

    There is a person called Nathanael. He does not just do something because others are doing it. He always has an answer to any invitation. Then one day Philip found him and compelled him to come to Yahushua (see John 1:45-51) When Nathanael came to Yahushua, he had an encounter of a lifetime. He came to Yahushua as an unbeliever but he left as a believer. You don’t have to preach to the person in a compelling invitation but when the person shows up, they encounter Yahushua in the service and leave changed people. That was the case of Nathanael. Philip found Nathanael, that means he sought out for him. Beloved, there is someone you must seek out today for and offer them a compelling invitation. Especially someone that benefits from you, from your resources is a candidate for a compelling invitation. You are a born again person, everyone that benefits from your resources should be made to serve the Lord that gave the resources in the first place.

    There is something in this for you. Going all out for the kingdom provokes divine additions to you in such dimension that nothing on earth can parallel. No multinational, no firm can match the returns of going for the gospel. The things that money can buy are added, more importantly the things that money cannot buy are also added to you. How much do your colleagues pay to maintain their health? You enjoy divine health going for the gospel both for you and all that are connected to you. Peace like river is added to you. Tension in your family becomes a thing of the past. Beloved, it is wise to be on the go for the gospel. Make it a goal never to appear in Church without someone following you to see Yahushua HaMashiach. Shalom!

    REMEMBER: Yahushua HaMashiach wants his house to be filled, so compel them to come in.

    CONFESSION: I am born of Yahweh, an heir of Yahweh and a joint-heir with HaMashiach. I have a stake in the house of Yahweh. I am committed to compelling multitudes to come in so the house of Yahweh will be filled. Glory!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: I decree that the passion for the filling of the house of the Lord comes upon you now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • WAYS YOU CAN GET INVOLVED (2): PREACHING THE GOSPEL

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Friday February 12, 2021

    WAYS YOU CAN GET INVOLVED (2): PREACHING THE GOSPEL

    And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.
    Mark 16:20 (KJV)

    There is nothing sophisticated or special about preaching. Every believer is called to preach. To preach simply means to proclaim, to declare, to publish; to herald. When you talk to your colleague about his eternal destiny, and what Yahushua has done for him, that is preaching. Preaching is not for special people. It is not for pastors, evangelists, etc. No! A thousand times No! They were a minimum of 120 people that Yahushua gave the command to go and preach. They were not all apostles or teachers. They were just believers. Some of you go for lunch with your colleagues and all the while you are talking about your football clubs; that is preaching about your football clubs. You could even hear some people arguing about their favourite players from a mile away during lunch break. Beloved, that is exactly what preaching is all about. Instead of talking what does not have eternal value, why not talk about Yahushua HaMashiach. The time is very short. Make the most of every opportunity to help someone make a decision about where he/she would spend eternity.

    You don’t even need to go far. Your barber and stylist; your neighbour; your customer and even acquaintances are all targets. Yahushua HaMashiach came for every soul. There is no soul that is less important to Yahweh. By all means preach the gospel. You don’t need too many scriptures to preach the gospel. We are called to be witnesses. A witness is someone that has experienced something and is telling about that experience. If you are genuinely born again, you already have an experience to share with someone. “I used to be this and that and I surrendered to Yahushua and my life took a turn for the great and here I am today; come to Yahushua HaMashiach, He can do same in your life”. That is being a witness. It does not require plenty grammar and quoting of scriptures. You do not have any excuse not to preach the gospel.

    Do you know that your potentials as a Christian only comes out when you are on the mission of the gospel? You carry the power of the Holy Spirit at the baptism of the Holy Spirit but that power only comes out when you are sharing the gospel with others. Then you can say “in the name of Yahushua be healed” and that happens. You can command demons to come out of those they are oppressing and they obey you. What otherwise wouldn’t cross your mind that you can do starts manifesting when you are on the move for the gospel. Another thing is that all that others are running after in life begins to run after you. You cannot be in need when you are genuinely on the go for the kingdom, preaching the gospel, never! All your needs are supernaturally taken care of. Even things you did not ask for begins to come to pass in your life. Commit to preaching the gospel today and see how everything in life aligns to you. A family was always in crisis, no peace. Until they subscribed to the call of the gospel to go preach and as they started preaching as a lifestyle, they were talking one day among themselves, they started wondering when last they had issues and could not remember. Peace like river had replaced; all that by obeying the call to preach. Beloved, all your answers to all your prayers are in obeying the call to preach the gospel. Shalom!

    REMEMBER: The Lord Yahushua commanded you to preach, obey!

    PRAYER: Dear Father, thank you for your word to me today. Burn in my heart today the fire of preaching the gospel and according Matthew 6:33, I receive all that others are running after added to me in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: You are a great soul-winner, I decree that the gospel potentials in you come alive now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN SOUL-WINNING (6): A FIRM CONVICTION ON ETERNITY

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Wednesday October 21, 2020

    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!

  • THE VALUE OF A SOUL

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Friday October 2, 2020

    THE VALUE OF A SOUL

    For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
    John 3:16 [KJV]

    The value of a thing is determined amongst others by the price you have to pay for it.  So cost determines value.  The value of the soul of man can be seen by the cost our Heavenly Father paid to buy it back from sin and Satan.  The soul of man is made to live forever.  The Soul of man is what will finally end up in heaven or in hell/lake of fire.  The breathe of God at creation was what gave birth to the soul of man (see Genesis 2:7).  So the soul of man is a spiritual reality. Man is not a body.  Flesh and blood cannot not inherit the kingdom of God (see I Corinthians 15:50).  God created man to be like Him and to be His Authority on Earth.  However, man handed this authority to the devil, selling himself as a slave to the devil (see Luke 4:6).  Man thwarted the plan of God in collaboration with Satan.  God in His mercy hashed a redemption plan for man.  It is important to understand that nothing in heaven or on earth could do anything about redeeming man because the cost is absolutely not affordable by them.

    The soul of man is so precious that compared with the worth of the whole world, all the glory of the world pales in the light of the value of a single soul.  See what the Lord Jesus says in Mark 8:36, ‘For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?’  A single soul of man is worth more than all the whole world.  Think about it.  That is to give you a glimpse into the worth of a single soul of man.  The value of the soul of man necessitated that God the Father, proceed to the earth in the Son to pay the dues man was owing in order to redeem him.  No angel could substitute.  No creature could contribute anything.  It was a day of gloom in heaven when the price of man’s sin was paid.  All the agonies of Christ Jesus, was not to establish a religion but to satisfy the demand of justice for the redemption of the soul of man.

    Beloved, the price for your salvation has already been fully paid, why are you still a slave to sin, Satan and sickness?  Why are you scorning the sacrifice of Christ Jesus on the cross by the way you live today? (see Hebrews 10:29)  If you finally land yourself in the lake of fire, it wouldn’t be because God didn’t do His part but it would be because you chose to go there.  As a believer, God has given you the privilege to herald the good news of what Jesus Christ has done to every one soul.  Your prosperity is tied to your faithfulness in executing this.  Whatever God has given you is in order to help you do this business well.  Are you on course with this task of soul-winning? Why not?

    REMEMBER:   The value and glory of the whole world is nothing compared to the value of a single soul of man.

    PRAYER:  Dear Father, thank you for paying the price for the redemption of my soul.  I believe in Jesus Christ that he came, died, was buried and rose again to give me eternal life.  I believe in the price that He has paid for my redemption.  Help me to be faithful in telling every other person about the gospel in the name of Christ Jesus Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE:   I release the passion for the salvation of the lost into your spirit man now in the name of Christ Jesus Amen!
