[O] [PREACHING LESSON 17:] DON'T STOP LOVING AND WINNING LOST PEOPLE

"DON'T STOP LOVING & WINNING LOST PEOPLE."

 

( 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.

As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

* INTRODUCTION:

a. The Lord Jesus Christ is our prime example for being committed to win the lost at any cost.

b. Jerusalem Church is also a good example of a Church nonstop soulwinning even though the enemy of the gospel are persecuting them and put them to prison to stop them in winning souls.

( Acts 5: 17- 20 ) 17 Then the high priest rose up, and all they that were with him, (which is the sect of the Sadducees ,) and were filled with indignation,

18 And laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in the common prison.

19 But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and brought them forth, and said,

20 Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.

c. Soulwinners in Jerusalem cannot be stop of Satan in reaching the lost at any cost.

( Acts 5:28-29 )

28 Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man's blood upon us.

29 Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.

 

▪5 Serious Sad Sad Consequences If Christians Will Cease Or Stop From Winning Lost People.

 

1. IF CHRISTIANS WILL STOP WINNING THE LOST, " REJOICING IN HEAVEN OF LEGIONS OF ANGELS WILL ALSO STOP IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD.

 

( Luke 15:3-7 )  3 And he spake this parable unto them, saying,

4 What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?

5 And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.

6 And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.

v.7 I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.

* If Christians will not win souls there will be no reason to have great rejoicing in HEAVEN.

So Christians are encourage to not stop winning lost people.

a. The Lord Jesus Christ was very willing to sacrifice to find His lost sheep and leave the 99 sheep that are willing to repent in order for them to be saved.

b. Look how the Lord was so excited and announce to His neighbors and relatives that He already found His one precious sheep.

c. The same excitement in heaven and they are rejoicing and singing and praising God for one soul got saved. Big Amen and amen.!!!

 

2. IF CHRISTIANS WILL STOP WINNING THE LOST, REVIVAL INSIDE THE LOCAL CHURCH WILL NOT LONGER BE EXPERIENCE.

 

( Acts 11:21-25 ) 21 And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord.

22 Then tidings of these things came unto the ears of the church which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas, that he should go as far as Antioch.

23 Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord.

24 For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith: and much people was added unto the Lord.

* A great revival was experienced by the Jerusalem Church when they've heard about the number of souls being saved in the local church of Antioquia.

a. Revival is a normal experience of the Soulwinning Church like Jerusalem Church and also in Antioquian Church.

* Revival is the great impact of the Hands of God working and moving in the midst of the Church.

( Acts 11:21 ) And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord.

b. Soulwinning brings great revival. The Church is on fire in reaching their community by the gospel of 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.

c. The grace of God was seen during the great revival of the Church.

( Acts 11: 22-23 ) 22 Then tidings of these things came unto the ears of the church which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas, that he should go as far as Antioch.

23 Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord.

 

3. IF CHRISTIANS WILL STOP WINNING THE LOST RE-CLEANING OF THE CHURCH WILL NOT BE EXPERIENCED ANYMORE.

 

( John 15:1-3 ) 1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.

2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.

a. The Soulwinning drive of the Church can assure God will continually cleanse the Church.

* But if the church stops winning the lost, the Church will continue sinning and involving the sinful activity of the World, then there no is reason for God the Father to clean the Church.

* God warn the Church that it will be taken away if it bears not fruit, but the good promise of God the Church that bear much fruit He purgeth or He will clean the Church so that it bear much much fruits. Big Amen and amen.

( John 15:3-5 ) Jn 15:3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
Jn 15:4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
Jn 15:5 I am the vine, ye [are] the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

* Christ will continually cleanse the life if the Christians will consistently win the lost.

 * Let us be faithful in winning the lost.

 

4. IF CHRISTIANS WILL STOP WINNING THE LOST, REDEMPTION OF THE LOST WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE TO HAPPEN IN OUR TIME.

 

( Acts 16: 9-10 ) 9 And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.

10 And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us for to preach the gospel unto them.

* For without vision the people will perish.

( Proverbs 29:18 )  18 Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.

a. God gave the Vision to the plant more Mission work to region beyond. If they have no vision so many precious souls will go to hell every seconds and every minutes , every hours and every day. This is so sad reality that so many precious souls will go to hell forever and ever and every.

b. Gods desire to all men might be saved and come to the knowledge truth.

 ( I Timothy 2: 4 ) Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

c. Christ gave the Vision to the local Church.

 ( 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.

* Do not stop to always catch the Vision to Plant more Missions.

( Acts 16:9-10 ) 9 And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.

10 And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us for to preach the gospel unto them.

* More Vision will result for more Missions. Amen and amen.

5.IF CHRISTIAN WILL STOP WINNING THE LOST. MORE PRECIOUS SOULS WILL GO TO HELL FOREVER AND EVER.

 

( Revelation 20:15 ) And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

( Revelation 21:8 ) But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

a. God do not want that any should perish in everlasting fire in hell.

( II Peter 3:9 ) The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

* These are the sad sad sad consequence if the Church or Christians will stop winning lost people.

b. Paul encourage the Christians to redeeming the time the days are evil.

( Ephesians 5: 16-17 ) 16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.

b. Paul challenge the Corinthian Church to always abounding in the work of the Lord.

 ( I Corinthians 15:58 ) Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

c. Peter challenge the Christians to be ready always in soulwinning.

( I Peter 3:15 ) 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.

 

* Conclusion:

 

( 1 Thessalonians 2:18-20 ) 18 Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan hindered us.

19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?

20 For ye are our glory and joy.

a. Paul gave us sad his expirience on the hand of our spiritual enemy that Satan hindered him to win the lost at any cost.

* But Paul was faithful and with determination to be faithful in winning the lost at any cost.

( Acts 20:22-24 ) 22 And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there:

23 Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me.

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.

b. Satan knows very the spiritual crown God will reward in heaven to all faithful soulwinners. God prepared a crown of rejoicing for them..

c. Our anemy the Devil always hinder us to be courageous and consistent in winning lost people.

* Sad because Demas was hinder by Satan. Demas love the World more than loving precious souls.

 ( II Timothy 4:10) 10 For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia.

d. Christ always challenges His disciples to look on the field for they are white already to harvest.

( 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.

" LET US WIN THE LOST AT ANY COST AT ALL TIMES "

* God bless you all always *
