Sunday Word Discovery: Topic: Building Capacity for Soul Winning
By Pastor Kola Oyekale
Text: Revelation 4vs11
Everything God created, he created for his pleasure. God becomes number one in everything he created. He does whatever he wants to do with them.
Your existence is for God’s enjoyment. This therefore concretize the availability of all that he created.
John 12vs32
It is God’s pleasure that he be lifted up on the earth and if he be lifted up, he will draw men unto himself.
God can be lifted up when our lives promote God, our lives give God pleasure and God is at pleased with us.
Can God say that he is pleased and satisfied with what he’s seeing from your life? Does what flow from you give God satisfaction?
The degree to which your life will give God pleasure is the degree to which you are sold out to him.
2 Corinthians 5vs15
If you have received Jesus, you have no life of yourself. Your life must be sold out to him.
If you are sold out to him, coming to church will not be an issue to you.
Some pain God allows in your life which you go through gives him pleasure. No amount of suffering you go through is too much for the cause of God. May our lives give him pleasure.
We give God pleasure when we avoid shortcuts but trust him through the pain we go through.
We go through pains so that others may benefit from the capacity that has been built in us by the reason of that pain.
Luke 14vs23
It is God’s pleasure that his house is filled up. Compel them, urge them and drag them in.
We have the assignment to have the house filled up. We must build ourselves up to be a great influence on others and to drag people into God’s house.
This is an exam for us to take. When God’s word comes forth, it is a test and God is watching to see how we are running with it and how we are passionate about that word.
Let us take up the responsibility to see that the house of God is filled up this month. Our theme remains Building Capacity for Soul Winning.
If we handle God’s things with seriousness, God will handle our affairs with seriousness. Let us be sold out to God and God will be sold out to us.
Wise people win souls.
Heaven celebrates when a soul is saved. If heaven celebrates then heaven also rewards those who are connected to that soul that is saved.
If you know how much he did for him, you’ll go out of your way to do for him.
God did not save you for yourself so that you can become rich. God saved you to expand his kingdom; to save others too.
Prayer: Lord help me, make me a part of soul wining in Jesus name.
