All through this week we have been looking at this line of exortation titled
SOUL WINNING A HIDDEN TREASURE OF THE KINGDOM
We have come to establish that the Kingdom of God is the Kingdom of treasures. The Bible says in the book of
Matthew 13:44
The kingdom of God is the Kingdom of treasures and one of the greatest treasures of the Kingdom is the treasure of soul winning. We discover from scriptures that soul winning is a big time business. Jesus said in
Luke 2:49
We have been looking at some of the values and the treasures that soul winning has to offer. for you and for me.
This morning we are going to go further as we explore this subject and I believe that the Holy Spirit will give us light as we do.
Soul winning secures our continuity in the faith. John 15:1-2 Jesus was making it clear that our stability and our longevity in the faith is tied to our productivity and fruitfulness. When a believer is fruitful that believer becomes stable. The reason why there are many unstable believers among other things is because of the lack of productivity of many.
Luke 13:6-9
So to remain standing in the faith you must be fruitful in the Kingdom. If you check it when you are a productive believer it is difficult for you to draw back and to backslide because others have entered the Kingdom through you so you become compelled to set a particular standard on their behalf. That is why part of the security of your Christianity is your productivity and fruitfulness. The moment you become fruitful in the Kingdom you are gaining access to greater dimension of fruitfulness. Your stability becomes endured.
Our ability to continue in the faith is tied to our fruitfulness. As far as God is concerned it is not those who start that matters it is those who endure to the end. Matthew 24:13
The one that keeps standing until the end.
We have a responsibility to remain standing, not to allow ourselves fall by the way side and for that to take place you and I must be productive.
Soul winning empowers believers for supernatural prosperity. Part of our access to divine supply is supernatural fruitfulness in the harvest field. Mark 3:14
That was speaking about the apostles.
Luke 22:35
What did He send them to do? To go and preach. A man may start with nothing serving God but he can’t end with nothing serving God.
Serving God is the pathway to enjoy supernatural prosperity and you don’t need to look much further than the testimony we heard this morning. That individual said the situation was so terrible that as a man with five children he had nothing to provide for the house to the point that the wife was paying the house rent, not only that, she was providing food for the house, the wife also had to give him pocket money. He was getting pocket money from his wife.
He was in a situation where people will laugh him to scorn but he began serving God, going from Mile 2 to Maza Maza to Orile and Oshodi and all of that, going everywhere. Suddenly God visited him to the point that he got a mouth watering salary. God changed his story.
*There is somebody hearing me here this morning God will change your story.
*He will make you a surprise to your mockers.
So we discover that soul winning empowers us for supernatural prosperity.
Mark 10:28-30
So the reward of serving God not only answers in eternity, It answers now. So God says if a man serves me and does so in the gospel he is entitled to a hundred fold return of whatever it cost him. So if it cost him anything He will pay him a hundred fold.
Soul winning puts believers in command of the supernatural. so not only does it enhance your stability which qualifies you for eternity but also empowers you for prosperity but beyond that it also empowers you for the supernatural. Mark 16:15-20
Acts 14:3
You can’t be speaking the Word everywhere and not be commanding signs in your world. Everywhere you see a Word speaker you have found a Word commander.That is what it takes. They went everywhere preaching. God began to confirm the word with signs following.
Mark 16:20
So commit yourself to preaching the Word and you are making yourself a candidate to command signs.
Acts 14:11
Therefore as each one of us continues to get on the harvest field, bearing fruits to the Kingdom I would like you to watch it because signs and wonders will become your identity in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
The things that men cannot imagine would become the reality of your own life in the name of Jesus Christ.
Receive grace this morning for fruitfulness on the harvest field. You must bear fruits.
Receive grace for fruitful engagement in the name of Jesus Christ.
None of you will be cut down.
For you, you will bear fruits supernaturally.
You are entering into your season of unusual blessing.
Things that no one can imagine coming out of you will become your testimony in this season.
Any negative expectation of anyone concerning you shall be disappointed.
That individual said the doctor told her that you have three months. ‘But here I am fifteen years later, I have not taken one tablet or lain down in the hospital bed’. She disappointed the doctor.
Whatever negative expectation anyone has concerning you shall be disappointed in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
What you declare God will deliver.
This day is declared blessed. For you it is a day of testimonies.
So shall it be in Jesus precious name.
