SOUL WINNING IS A CALL FOR ALL OF US. IT IS NOT FOR PASTORS, EVANGELISTS OR ORDAINED WORKERS.
YOU CAN NEVER MANIFEST ANYWHERE YOU ARE POORLY PREPARED.
IF YOU WANT THINGS TO TURN AROUND ON EVERY SIDE, THEN GIVE GOD QUALITY PRAISE.
TO ENJOY CEASELESS HARVEST YOU MUST BE PRAISEFUL.
IT IS PREPARATION THAT PRECEDES GREATNESS.
PREPARATION PRECEDES MANIFESTATION IN EVERY AREA OF LIFE.
I ENCOUNTERED MY FIRST CREATIVE MIRACLE DURING SOUL WINNING.
WHEN YOU ARE A SOUL WINNER YOU ENTER GOD’S PAYROLL. ECONOMY CAN’T STOP YOU.
WHEN YOU ARE A SOUL WINNER, GOD WILL MAKE SURE NOBODY KILLS YOU.
WHEN YOU GIVE CONTINUOUSLY, YOUR HARVEST WILL BECOME CONTINUOUS.
WHERE GIVING STOPS, THAT’S WHERE HARVEST WILL ALSO STOP.
YOU WANT TO ENJOY FAVOUR? BE A SOUL WINNER.
SOUL WINNING GUARANTEES SOUND HEALTH.
SOUL WINNING IS A MAJOR TOOL FOR HARVEST.
-Pastor David Ibiyeomie on PRAISE FOR CEASELESS HARVEST – PART 2 || Praise For Ceaseless Harvest Service || Salvation Ministries – Home of Success || 4th February 2024 || Second Service.
Wisdom sees everything, hears everything and picks what is good for the next phase of your life. I’m somebody that can be sitting down but my brain is working, I hardly stay without my brain working. It is preparation that precedes greatness. People fail not because they didn’t hear what the teacher taught, they fail because they didn’t prepare well. Every failure is a function of poor preparation. When you were in school the time you failed, you will find out that you didn’t prepare well. Every time something happens don’t blame the devil, don’t blame people, just know you didn’t prepare well. Never come on this Altar to minister when you didn’t prepare. Church Gist. Whether you are a choir member, whether you are taking opening prayer or you are a pastor. Preparation precedes manifestation in every area of life. Don’t give a speech if you have not prepared the speech. Don’t come and sing here if you didn’t prepare because every part of the Service is important. I hate when somebody is singing and you go off point. If they didn’t call (in an) emergency, you must prepare. Just imagine me, I want to teach now and I teach nonsense, God forbid! I will never do it! You will be sad in that Service, true? I don’t come careless on the altar that’s why any day you come you are blessed.
Don’t ever do anything in your life you’re not prepared for. Don’t write an exam if you’re not prepared, better cancel that exam and resit it because you will fail. Everything you want to do, take time to prepare. Don’t cook food for your husband and say: ‘I’ve been cooking every day’. In your restaurant, the day you will cook one sour food may be the first day a new person will come and say: ‘That restaurant, they prepare soured soup every day’. Anyhow you talk, they say: ‘No! It’s soured food they prepare’. You say: ‘No! They prepare good (food)’. He said: ‘No! But the day I went, I ate soured food’. That might be his first day. Each day, make sure you are set for that day. Are you getting me, brother? Church Gist. Even if you are going to talk to your children, prepare before you talk to them, don’t just get up in the morning, ‘My child, that’s you are going to school’! Prepare before you talk to your children. People are so careless with life and we keep blaming (the) devil, blaming people. If not for the Church, if not for the devil’. Look anytime you blame people, blame yourself first. We will look for ‘blaming of people’ – ‘If not for the man I married, if not for the Church I attend, if not for my wife I married’. Nobody is your problem, your problem is you.
Every problem is man-made, not anybody. Your husband is not your problem, your wife is not your problem, your children are not your problem, your problem is you. You are your problem! Oh! I would have prepared if not that I met that kind of man I married, it’s a lie! Tell yourself the truth, did you close your eyes before you married him? Whatever problem you and me have, we are the problem and until we accept that truth, change can’t come. You can’t come and be singing rubbish here; I have changed oo, ask my wife. When this Church started, I will just come on the Altar and pull you out. Church Gist. I will say: ‘Come down’! That you will be doing something every day does not mean that you know how to do it. The day you don’t do well, it’s that day… How can you come and be singing rubbish? Are we joking here? That’s me, I can’t change! (Laughing). It’s too late to change! Never do anything careless. Never come careless to do anything in life. Just watch even in football, when they lose, they didn’t prepare well and when they prepare well you see them winning, is that true? Preparation precedes manifestation. You can never manifest anywhere you are poorly prepared.
—–PRAYERS—-
PRAISE FOR CEASELESS HARVEST – PART 2. When you lack joy, harvest stops. Joel 1:12. When you are joyful, praise springs from the inside. To be joyless is to be ‘sign-less’, to be joyful is to be praiseful and when you are praiseful, you become ‘wonder-full’. To enjoy ceaseless harvest you must be praiseful. Malachi 2:2. If you want things to turn around on every side, then give God quality praise.
What Is Praise?
Praise is celebrating the almightiness of God for who He is in words, songs and dance, clapping etcetera. So, praise for ceaseless harvest is exalting the greatness of God for who He is in order to trigger Him to continuously gather to Himself multitude of souls prepared for His Kingdom. Church Gist. We are praising God so He can bring crowds. You don’t need to get the definition just understand it. We are praising God so He can bring crowds, that’s all. All I’m speaking, all those grammar, that’s the summary of it. John 6:44. John 12:32. If we lift Him up in praise, He will draw men.
-And God will draw men to Himself in the name of Jesus. In this Assembly, it will be so.
We provoke God to manifest on our behalf through our praise. When we lift Him up in praise, He draws all men. Church Gist. He will draw people. Say: I hear! Check every time we praise God, crowd keeps coming. Have you noticed it?
-And they will keep coming in the name of Jesus.
How To Enjoy Ceaseless Harvest Through Praise?
1. Engage in soul winning.
Soul winning is sharing the Gospel of Jesus with sinners, allowing the Holy Spirit to convict that sinner in order to become a saint and established in the Kingdom. I said, it’s sharing the Gospel of God’s love with sinners, allowing the Holy Spirit to convict them in order to become saints of God and established in His Kingdom. It’s just sharing the Gospel with a man who is not born again for him to be born again. That’s all we are saying. Matthew 18:11. John 20:21. Soul winning is a call for all of us, it is not for pastors, evangelists, ordained workers etcetera. ‘Oh! I’m not a pastor’. Soul-winning is for everybody. Mark 16:15. He didn’t say: ‘Go ye pastors’. John 15:16. He said: ‘I have chosen you to go and win souls’. So, it’s not something you say: ‘I like to do it’. It’s compulsory otherwise you are not a Christian. God said I have chosen you, this is what I chose you for. You don’t tell your employer what you will do in the office, he tells you: ‘This is the assignment’. Are you getting what I’m saying? God said: ‘This is My purpose, go and win souls’. You can’t tell God: ‘I don’t have time’, ‘No’! That’s not correct. Say: ‘I hear’! I hear people say: ‘Well I’m not a pastor, so this one is for pastors’. Soul winning is for all. It is a duty to be done by all, begin now to be a part of it.
Say: I will begin now to be a part of it.
Some Benefits Of Soul Winning.
If you know the benefits, you will not be cajoled to do it. Nobody will force you to do it, you will do it.
Say: I will be a soul winner.
A. You enjoy divine health.
You enjoy sound health if you are a soul winner. Psalm 84:7. Proverbs 13:17. You know? Some people they know Bible upside down. When you say: ‘Ambassador’, they say: ‘God said: ‘Ambassador’ I’m not an ambassador’. You know some people when they read Bible you now wonder whether it’s the Bible. ‘The Bible said, ‘Ambassador’ me I be ambassador? I’m a member’. Church Gist. So, ambassador too is a diplomat. Some people are very funny oo. If you see some people argue Bible here, you go begin to wonder, ‘Na the Bible’? Let’s see who is an ambassador according to God’s definition here. 2 Corinthians 5:20-24. An ambassador is simply somebody who reconciles sinners to who? To Christ. Is that true? So God is saying, if you are a faithful soul winner what will be your portion? Have you not heard people say: ‘Well, as I went out for soul winning. I got healed’.
Life story! An elderly woman had arthritis, she uses umbrella to walk. It was that bad! She uses umbrella because no walking stick and then I was teaching on ‘Soul winning’. Then Mama said they should give her about fifty handbills, it was not the handbills she was sharing on the road. She will meet one person, with the pain and say: ‘Look! I want you to come to Church, Jesus loves you’. Church Gist. She moved from headquarters here to….’ I don’t know how you calculate by measurement because of those who are not part of this area. Those who can do measurement, you measure whichever way you measure. But this elderly woman with that pain, before she shared the fifty handbills, the arthritis that doctors handled, complications of all kinds left. You don’t know what you are missing when you are not a soul winner. You’ve taken all the drugs, you are not a senior pharmacist. Some of you even know the names of the drugs before the doctors yet you are not a doctor. You say: ‘You know? You take… (Laughing).
One day, one of my cousins outside the country was telling me, I just looked at her. When she finished, I said: ‘Yeah! My sister, my sister! You don become doctor nah’. She said: ‘Papa, this one will do this’. I was just looking at her. She was just describing the drugs to me, I said: ‘My sister, you be doctor nah’ (Laughing). She laughed. Some of you, you know the tablets more than the doctors. ‘Go for soul winning’! You say: ‘Mmh’. You are swallowing tablet like poultry bird. Church Gist. How can you be taking 20 whole tablets a day? Na you? For what? Do you know? If you are not used to tablets you forget tablets. If you are not used to tablets, (when) they give you, you will forget it. But some of you, even when you are in Church now, you are calculating. ‘Service never end, e get the one they give me for afternoon’. (Laughing). Look! Health is very important oo. ‘Eh! Health is not important’. Just be sick then you know health is important. And God said: ‘Just win what? Souls, I give you sound health’. You say: ‘Mmh’. Soul-winning guarantees sound health.
-May every soul winner. I decree, enjoy sound health in the name of Jesus.
B. Divine protection is guaranteed.
Acts 18:8-10. Because Paul was preaching the Gospel, God said: ‘I’m going to protect you’.
-May every soul winner be preserved in the name of Jesus.
When you are a soul winner, God will make sure nobody kills you.
C. You will enjoy prosperity.
John 4:36. Church Gist. There is a dimension of prosperity that soul winning brings.
-May every soul winner prosper as I’m saying in the name of Jesus.
D. You operate in signs and wonders.
Mark 16:15-20. If you are a soul winner, you just operate in signs and wonder. I encountered my first creative miracle during soul-winning. I was in Bible School, then I was not a pastor and we went out for soul winning. Church Gist. While in soul winning, a man was on crutches, I’ve told you before. That was the first time I ever said: ‘Leave the crutches’. I wasn’t a pastor! The Man left and began to walk, in a major place they call Mile 2 in Lagos (State), Nigeria. I was not a pastor, I was a brother but God did that because I was out for soul-winning. You don’t know what you are missing, not winning souls. Say: I hear!
-May you be the next sign to your world.
E. You enjoy favour.
Psalm 102:13-14. When you favour the Kingdom of God, you enjoy what? Favour. You want to enjoy favour? Be a soul winner. Shout Hallelujah! How many of you want ceaseless harvest? Keep winning souls. John 4:35. God said: ‘Look! The field is white for harvest, go and win them, then I pay you’. Say: I hear. When you are a soul winner you enter God’s payroll. Economy can’t stop you! Can God pay you and any economy stop you when you are a soul winner? There are some of us God pays. Church Gist. Say: I hear! I’m on God’s payroll, He pays me every month. I don win souls oo not just when we go for Week of Spiritual Empowerment. You know? Some of you do it oo, I do it as a lifestyle. I can’t meet somebody who is a sinner and I have opportunity, I can’t preach to you. It’s not this one when we say ‘Glory Reign’, you now go (and) be dancing (and) be dancing! After that one, you stop ‘reigning’. Soul winning should be your lifestyle. Say: I hear! Are you getting what I’m talking about? Not the one you do it because ‘Eh! Our Church, we are going out’ and then you show on social media, ‘You know? We are going out. That is social media posing.
Soul winning should be a lifestyle not the one you are going, you snap, you post. It’s not bad oo but while you are posting, be winning souls. Not the one you snap: ‘Glory Reign’!!! (Laughing). That is social media posing. Now Glory Reign has ended, are you still winning souls? Okay, snap nah while you are winning the souls (Laughing). Now post also where you are winning souls. Church Gist. You are free nah! As you are preaching post it, let them see you that you are preaching. I permit you, post! While you are preaching the Gospel of Jesus, be posting. Not the one you are dancing, everybody. That one na ‘anama-pose’. (Laughing). Amen! A man was trying to speak English. You know? He said: ‘These people are behaving like women so in his language, it’s in Igboreminie. So he said: ‘They are all ‘anama-woman’. He was trying to translate his language to… So they are just ‘anama-pose’. Don’t pose again! Now be winning souls. Shout Hallelujah! Now, soul-winning is a major tool for harvest.
2. Be a giver.
Genesis 8:22. We are talking about what? Ceaseless harvest. So where seeds stop, that’s where harvest will stop. If you notice, when people give testimony for financial breakthrough, you hear them they say: ‘They sowed financial seeds’. True? You will never hear somebody say I got financial harvest when he did not sow seed. They didn’t say: ‘I prayed and I got money’. There must be seeds that will go with the prayers. ‘Give and it shall be given unto you’. Luke 6:38. Don’t give and nothing shall be given unto you. Church Gist. Giving and receiving must be an endless exercise if you want to enjoy ceaseless harvest. Let me say this: You can’t give poor seed and expect a bountiful harvest because every seed will produce after its kind. Genesis 1:11. Don’t be deceived God is not mocked, it is what you sow you reap. If you sow preaching you reap plenty of what? Preaching. If you sow prayer, you reap plenty of what? Prayer. If you sow singing, you reap plenty of what? Singing. If you want money, what do you sow? Money. Everything will produce after its kind. Don’t pretend, don’t say: ‘Well! I sow sweeping Church, cleaning toilet to get money, no! If you sow Sanctuary keeping you reap plenty of sound health but not money.
‘I used to come very early to sweep the Church, clean the toilet’, God will clean your life but money you won’t get. Forget it! You won’t get money. God will make sure He cleans your life, but you will not use sweeping of toilet (convenience) to get money. Brother, everything produces after what? Its kind. Say: ‘I hear’! You want money? What do you sow? Money. If you want laughter what do you sow? Laughter. Church Gist. If you want ‘biribiri’ life, what do you sow? ‘Biribiri’ life. If you want to be a wayo man what do you sow? Wayo. You will get plenty of wayo friends around you. Now it is time to build Churches, plant Churches, sponsor souls in Salvation Word of Life Bible Institute. When you give continuously, your harvest will become continuous. Say: I hear! Ecclesiastes 11:6. every time what do you do? Sow.
Tell yourself: I will sow! No sowing, no harvest. Poor sowing, poor harvest. Quality sowing, quality harvest. ‘Biribiri’ sowing, ‘Biribiri’ harvest. ‘Chachacha’ sowing, ‘Chachacha’ harvest. If you make it ‘wayo’ sowing, ‘wayo’ harvest. ‘Ogboju’ sowing, ‘Ogboju’ harvest. (Laughing). ‘By force’ sowing, ‘by force’ harvest. No sowing, no harvest. Church Gist. You get the seed after. ‘Preaching’ sowing, ‘preaching’ harvest. Everywhere you go someone will preach to you (Laughing). Pastor hear me, you cannot use preaching to get money. Let me tell you. You know? That’s how pastors deceive themselves, they say: ‘I preach to members and I don’t know’? Let me tell you, if you don’t want to be frustrated pastor, because people are hearing me from all over the World. Stop preaching without sowing!
In fact, preaching without sowing, ask me why? Your members will be getting blessed and then when they are blessed they will not give you. So, you say: ‘Look at this man, I prayed for him, he cannot even give me any offering’. In fact, before you start cursing the members start giving oo because the worst thing that can happen to a pastor is when you pray for a person and then the person gets money and then be using the money in your face without sowing to you, you will be angry. You will say: ‘I prayed for him, he was nobody, he became rich, cannot even remember me’. Seedtime and harvest! Until you sow, your preaching can’t bring money. Church Gist. If I stop giving today, you will even forget me. It’s my giving that is making God to lay in your heart, then after. If me, I stop giving today, harvest will stop. You don’t know? You know why nobody is remembering you? You are not sowing. In fact, when they even see you sef, they get angry. Because when you are not a giver, everything about you, no favour. Where giving stops, that’s where harvest will also stop. To provoke harvest, you must water your seed with praise. So there are three dimensions: Number one: Soul winning, number two: Give. Number three: Praise, harvest will continuously flow. 1 Corinthians 3:6.
Praise is celebrating God for who He is. So what we are doing is this: ‘You do the planting, then you do the planting by winning souls, giving quality offering, paying tithe and then you praise God and Heaven just responds, harvest keeps coming. Shout Hallelujah! Psalm 67:5-7. Can God bless you and any devil stop you? Psalm 67:7. Church Gist. That means it will come from anywhere. It doesn’t matter, you can be in Ghana and the blessing (will) come from United Kingdom. Is that clear sir? Glory to God. Just do your part and leave the rest to God. Let me say this to us, it’s a very simple illustration: You are a farmer, you have all the skills of farming. You know all the techniques of farming, you know all the principles of farming. You get to the farm you didn’t put anything on the ground, you start pouring water, what will happen?
Now, all the Scriptures of giving you know them: ‘Give it shall be given…’ You quote them but you don’t put a seed and you are praising God, you are pouring water on a ground that has no seed. It’s erosion! But when you put the seed, you now pour water. What will happen? It will grow up. So the praise is the watering but the seed is soul winning and giving. Church Gist. Hello! Do you get what I’m talking (about)? Okay! Many people, they give, they win souls but they don’t praise God – So the harvest does not come. Some only end in praise when they have not won souls. Some win souls (and) don’t give; so the thing is doing like this (Illustrating) – It’s not flowing. If you want a flow, these three things must be in place. Shout Hallelujah!
If I want to praise Him for results to come:
a. I must praise Him with understanding.
Psalm 47:7.
b. I will praise Him from my heart.
It’s not when I’m praising Him, I’m absent-minded. Psalm 111:1.
c. I will praise Him in a dance.
I’m going to make sure my body moves. Psalm 149:3.
d. I will praise Him with expectation.
Proverbs 23:18. You can only experience what you expect. Shout Hallelujah!
-As we praise God today, we will enjoy ceaseless harvest. For the Church, souls! All the seeds you have sown, souls multiplied to us. For you? Harvest on every side.
You have gone for soul-winning, now you have also given. What should come to you? Harvest. How many want harvest? Praying for harvest without sowing seed makes you a magician. That’s abracadabra. And there’s no abracadabra in the Kingdom. ‘Oh! God, I need harvest’!! God will be looking at you and saying: ‘What kind of harvest do you need and you have not sown seed? Am I a magician? John 3:16. Until He gave His only begotten Son there was no harvest of sons – That’s God Almighty. Church Gist. All of you doing all these prayers: ‘demons are worrying me’. Before you die, no demon is worrying you oo. You know? Many of you came from funny backgrounds where you think that prayer is everything. (Illustrating). Midnight, your neighbours are thinking you are mad, all your neighbours are tired with your kind of prayers. You are in this Church, I better tell you the truth oo because some of you the way you pray your neighbours will be thinking you have psychiatric problems.
How can you be praying? (Illustrating and laughing). Neighbours will say: ‘What’s wrong with that Churchman’? Every night he wakes up (Illustrating screaming). Seedtime and harvest! Not (screaming) time. There’s no (screaming) time; seedtime and harvest! Look! Let me tell you, if you obey God your prayer points will be reduced. Most of us, we are praying too much over nonsense, you pray for everything. Some things, just obey! Okay, what will a farmer be praying for when he has sown seed? He will just go and collect the harvest. But you have not sown seed, you now say: ‘My uncle is the reason why our family is not prospering. Church Gist. We are going to pray now, we are going to do family deliverance. The deliverance, that my uncle, he’s going to die’. God says: ‘Your uncle is not your problem, seedtime and harvest’! And people who don’t give, they like deliverance, you will be jumping from Church to Church. ‘You know? Papa does not believe in all these deliverance I want to go to a Church where…’ That’s why you have waka around the whole town, nothing to show. I better tell you how this thing works. Some of you, you waka ‘piompiompiom’ from place to place. Okay, since you have been ‘wakaring’, what have you gotten? I am telling you the simple principle of how it works. ‘You know? Papa does not believe in all these things, you know? I will carry you to somewhere, you will see deliverance’. Okay, you have gone for deliverance what has happened? Seedtime and harvest!
All those waka you are ‘wakaring’ before you die quick, calm down. Just do what I have told you, I know this thing, it’s a principle I know. Principles is what you use to deal with principalities, just apply principles! Do you need any demon for your car to start? Just hold the key (Illustrating). The car will start, demons won’t stop the car. If demon stop your car na bad car. (Laughing). Can you buy car from factory? demon now stop you from starting it? Na lie! Just press your button. But if you bring a car that is already tired you now say: ‘demon’! It doesn’t work, you hit the button. (Illustrating and laughing). Church Gist. Somebody donated a car when this Church started, the man gave us car, the car almost killed us (Laughing). That time, there was a Nissan they call Bluebird. The car, before we drive for some meters we will stop, open the bonnet, pour water. We close the booth, we move again heat will be coming out, smoke will be coming out, we will park. One day I said: Abeg! Before this car will kill somebody, sell it off! The money we used to repair the car was more than the sales. (Laughing). That is tyre, everything was not equal to the amount we used to repair the motor. (Laughing). I say: ‘Sell it’! demons will worry you when you have a problematic car. You can’t buy car from factory and say: ‘satan’! It’s a lie! ‘All these demons you are worrying’, they are not worrying you, go and sow seed.
Rise to your feet! Shout Hallelujah!
Go and sow what? Sow seed. Win souls now praise God, you get your harvest. Okay! Go outside, whatever country you are and then tell the devil: ‘satan if you exist, turn day to night’. He can’t turn day to night, true? Jeremiah 33:20. Do you know? Tell the devil, say: ‘satan, if you exist, turn this day to night’, he won’t be able. There are some things satan can’t change and there’s nothing he can change if you know the truth. Now, you know what? See it from the Bible. Jeremiah 33:25. So, the moment you put your seed, harvest is sure. No devil, the demons can’t stop it. All these demons stopping you is because you are not doing what is right. He said if the devil can’t change day to night, night to day. Church Gist. Just do your part of the Covenant, he can’t stop you. That’s why you hear me say: ‘No demon can make me poor’. It’s this Scripture I stand on. If satan, you can’t change day to night then when I give my seed, harvest must come. How many understand it? So forget it. Stop going for deliverance, you walk around the whole of your city, they even know you before you come. Most of you, even people in this Church, most of them waka oo, even in this Church, they say: ‘You know? There’s one woman if she prays here (Illustrating and laughing). I’m telling you simple truth and the truth which you know shall set you free. You can’t triumph without the truth, stop moving from place to place. This is the Place. John 8:32. Put your seed (in one place) harvest will come.
