How To Preach The Gospel And Win Souls

“Go ye into all the word, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized is saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned” Mark 16:16.

Our purpose for remaining in this world after we are saved is to ensure that more people are turned to God through Jesus Christ. There is no salvation in any other and no other name has been given under heaven among men whereby we must be saved (Acts 4: 12).

This sole commission was not assigned to a church name or specific congregation but to every individual who is a Believer; not as a religious act but an act of love for lost souls and in fulfillment of our spiritual responsibility of reconciling unbelieving man to a faithful God.
 “To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation” 
2 Corinthians 5:19.

How Can We Then Preach the Gospel?
The challenge is FEAR of what to say,  How (or when) to APPROACH people with a sensitive matter such as Are You Born Again? Or What will be my RESPONSE when I am asked a difficult question? or I don’t know enough scripture?

1.     You can overcome FEAR when you preach the gospel with your Personal Salvation story or Testimony that way you have sure proof and total conviction that your message of Christ will have the same great result in other lives. But ensure that your testimony is centered on Jesus Christ. What was your problem? What did God do for you and what can God do for the person hearing your story? John 4:6-30 – Notice how Jesus spoke with the Samaria Woman? Vs 28, see how she brought people to Jesus.

2.     Jesus is the Master soul winner and we can learn of his methods in ministering to particular individuals, in Matthew Jesus won his disciples and in John 3 how he spoke with Nicodemus (who climbed a tree to hear Jesus). Soul winning is spiritual so always pray for those you want to speak to first. What works is Christ message of Love and Hope instead of Condemnation and guilt.  Never assume that your hearer doesn’t have any knowledge of Jesus, ask them first and build on what they know then make corrections when it is wrong, validate or expand what truth they know.

3.     Jesus had the right answers to all the questions, assumptions and thoughts of people that came to him. Now you may not have all the scriptural response to questions you will be asked but that is no deterrent. Where you do not have enough information, invite your hearer for a bible study meeting in your church /group where your pastor can explain. When they come the Holy Spirit can broaden their understanding of another area that answers the question that brought them. God is that sweet.

A person does not have to be won to Christ in a onetime discussion with you. Oftentimes they need to be exposed to the word of God continually until their heart and spirit is saturated to bring about conversion. 


So, if you have been trying to speak to a family, friend or colleague about Christ without result, do not stop praying, loving or talking. You are sowing a seed in their hearts that will produce a result at a later time when a stranger shares the gospel with them.

To Love a Man

dreamy love by zindy affection dreamy love by zindy affection dreamy_love_by_zindy_affection_art dreamy love by zindy affectionp dreamy love by zindy affection dreamy love by zindy affection To Love a Man is not fashionable, its more than social media status and picture updates, its neither in the frequency of love cliche, it is beyond showing off and paying lip service, it is embracing the highs, lows and trails like a good soldier. It goes deep down to giving up self, It is not feminine opinion of love strategies. like a fell tree, it is those times in solitude you fall on bended knees, To offer propitiation to divinity in his stead, That he might remain strong for both you and him. Like a child that is spanked on the mother's knees, where it just cuddled to suck from her breast, It is to hold a man to the breast he craves and there Sing his praise, chastise, encourage, pray and engage him in artful play. To Love a man is to be his eyes, his cons...

WHY YOU MUST WRITE A WILL EVEN IF YOU ARE YOUNG

  A re you a young Nigerian man with these listed earthly conditions, I have to ask you a serious question. you have a wife you have children you have something worthy of transfer; Cash, financial assets, real estate, insurance, family heirloom, etc Have you made your will?  Oh; come on now I am not suggesting your death is anywhere close, God forbid. But we can both agree the world is no longer as it was, it has become smaller which is a great thing and the number of things that can kill you has gone past "A thousand ways to die". Let's consider a few trending options of dying; a strange virus (yup, it hasn't gone away yet), Stress from emotional and physical tension which is the leading cause of death in recent times, getting poisoned by a frenemy at a bar, get kidnapped with no ransom, get in a relationship with a murderous psycho, choke on chewing gum as you gossip, etc. I should probably not add to the tension as you read this but you get the drift....we are all ...
