Waiting for the hungry hearts

Of a lost and dying world.

Searching for the meek

And humble in the midst

Of the darkness

That covers the Earth.

The Light Of Wisdom

Shines through the clouds of distress.

Wisdom for thirsty hearts

Is abundantly given

To those who seek

The Truth in the mist

Of the fog of the Earth’s dimness

And Dearth.

The Light Of Wisdom

Brings life and hope to the hopeless!

JOHN 3: 16

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.

Wisdom given by God brings life to those who receive it. The child of God is called to reach out to the lost to give them a reason for the hope that we have in Jesus Christ.

John 4:35 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.

John 4:36 And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.

John 4:37 And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.

Many Christians today do not take soul winning seriously enough. Many think that a silent witness is sufficient. What is the wisdom from God’s Word on this matter?

Mark 16:15-18

And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

Those who believe will have signs following them according to the Word. The believers are what we refer to as Christians today!

The signs are for the believer, while they proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the world.

Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

We are to be filled with the Holy Ghost for the power to be witnesses.

Ephesians 5:18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;

God’s wisdom would tell us to be witnesses, sharing the Gospel of the kingdom in the power of the Holy Ghost!

Those of us who know the truth must share it with the lost.!

Rom 10:11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

It is clear that God desires us to share our testimony with others and not be silent. How will people know the way of salvation if they are not told.

Rom 10:14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

The light of wisdom pertaining to the lost requires that they hear about Jesus. People need to hear the Gospel.

Rom 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

A PARABLE

Luke 8:5-18

A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.

And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.

And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it.

And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be?

And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.

Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.

They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy;

and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.

And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.

But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.

No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light.

For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.

Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have.

There is a variety of people that hear the Gospel. Unfortunately, many will not keep the faith. Do not be discouraged.

Let us as believers seek to be good ground and hear well. Let us have faith and not hide our witness.

WINNING SOULS

Proverbs 11:30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.

Winning souls is wisdom and treasure in Heaven! What a blessing to give to the King!

Being led by the Spirit is essential for good results. God gives us the results!

1Corinthians 3:7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.

I was at a Christian Coffee House Ministry, when I saw a young woman who needed Jesus. God gave witness to me that she was ready to be saved. I shared this with someone she knew and it was shared with the young woman. She accepted Jesus that night!

God will lead us if we let Him! It is important to listen to Him!

There are keys in our walk with God that enable us to have success. In soul winning. There are those who share, but, seldom see results.

A key to results involves pulling the net in. Sharing the Word of God prepares the souls to receive Christ. A lot of times when people hear the Gospel, they think about what they have heard, but do not make a decision to receive.

Sometimes it helps to ask the person. Would you like to know Jesus? This helps to lead the individual to a decision. If they say yes, pray with them to accept Jesus into their hearts. Allow them to profess their faith.

Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

Romans 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Did God call us to be silent witnesses? We are to bare witness at the beginning of our Salvation!

If a Christian is witnessing to someone have trouble with their faith. Ask the person to allow you to pray for them. Ask if they have a need. Show compassion on their need and let God touch them as you pray the prayer of faith.

This is a key to results in soul winning! Minister to their need! Praying for them is important. God gives the increase. If they accept your prayer, the Holy Spirit can touch them and draw them to the Lord Jesus for their salvation! After you pray for them ask them if they would like to have Jesus as their Saviour!

If they are hungry feed them. If they are thirsty, give them a drink. Bless them! These are keys to results!

The Light of Wisdom for the Lost is Jesus Christ! We are to present Jesus to the Lost. God will work with us to give the increase if we will believe. God bless you as you present Jesus to the lost!

2Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
