(Ang magagandang hamon para sa atin upang maabot
ang higit pang mga kaluluwa para kay Cristo.)
GALATIANS
2:20 “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I,
but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by
the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.”
Introduction:
a.
Paul made a very strong conviction in giving his
testimony to whom he will give and use his life.
Ø Paul’s
testimony was so touching that he offered to use his life to fulfill Christ’s
great desire that all men might be saved.
1TIMOTHY 2:4 “Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the
knowledge of the truth.”
Great
biblical examples of living their lives to reach more souls:
I. CHRIST’S PURPOSE in COMING TO THIS WORLD IS TO SEEK
AND SAVE LOST PEOPLE
(Ang layunin ni Cristo sa pagparito sa mundong
ito ay upang hanapin at iligtas ang mga nawala.)
LUKE 19:10 “For the
Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.”
a.
Christ is our prime example of our one life for the
desire to reach more souls for Christ.
b.
Christ's great purpose in life for coming into the world
is to seek and save the lost.
c.
Christ made the soulwinning a daily life and a necessary
great work during His earthly ministry.
JOHN 9:4-5 “I must
work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no
man can work.
Jn 9:5 As long as I am in the world,
I am the light of the world.”
II.
PAUL’S PRIORITY
IN LIFE AFTER HE WAS SAVED WAS TO REACH THE LOST AT ANY COST
(Ang priyoridad ni Paul
sa buhay pagkatapos niyang maligtas ay maabot ang nawala sa anumang paraan.)
1CORINTHIANS 9:19 “For
though I be free from all [men], yet have I made myself servant unto all, that
I might gain the more.”
a.
Paul’s priority after being saved was to win over lost
people. He made a servant to everyone that he could win many souls.
b.
Paul’s priority in reaching many souls does not change
even in times of great threat to his Christian life. He was steadfast in his
decision to continue and finish with the satisfaction of his heart the ministry
of winning soul.
ACTS 20:24 “But
none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that
I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of
the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.”
III.
THE CHURCH IN
JERUSALEM PROSPERED BECAUSE SOULWINNING WAS THEIR PRIMARY BUSINESS WITH THE
LORD
(Ang iglesya sa Jerusalem
ay umunlad sapagkat ang pag-aakay ng kaluluwa ang kanilang pangunahing negosyo
sa Panginoon.)
ACTS 5:42 “And
daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach
Jesus Christ.”
ACTS 2:41 “Then
they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were
added [unto them] about three thousand souls.”
a.
The growth of the church will not stop but will continue if
we make soulwinning the core business of the church.
ACTS 2:47 “Praising
God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church
daily such as should be saved.”
b.
The growth of the local church continues because the
church is accustomed to the daily soulwinning.
ACTS 6:7 “And the
word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem
greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith.”
IV.
PETER PROMOTES
EFFECTIVE SOULWINNING OF THE CHRISTIAN
(Itinaguyod ni Pedro ang mabisang pag-aakay ng
kaluluwa sa mga Kristiyano)
ACTS 2:47 “Praising
God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church
daily such as should be saved.”
1PETER 3:15 “But
sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and [be] ready always to [give] an answer
to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness
and fear:”
a.
Effective soul
winning ensures more and sure fruits harvesting is through a sanctified life of
soul winners.
b.
Effective soulwinning
requires tears and love for the souls of sinners.
PSALMS 126:5-6 “They
that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
Pss 126:6 He that goeth forth and
weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing,
bringing his sheaves [with him].”
c.
The unity and togetherness
of each member in soulwinning is key to successful soulwinning.
PSALMS 133:1 “Behold,
how good and how pleasant [it is] for brethren to dwell together in unity!”
Conclusion:
We need these
great challenges to always focus on winning the many lost people at any cost and
the Lord Jesus Christ is our prime example for this great important work of
God.
MARK
16:15 “And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach
the gospel to every creature.”
God bless you
all!
