DON'T STOP LOVING THE LOST PEOPLE AND
DON'T STOP WINNING THEM TO CHRIST
( Acts 20:19-24 ) 19 Serving the LORD with all
humility of mind, and with many tears, and temptations, which befell me by the
lying in wait of the Jews:
20 And how I kept back nothing
that was profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you
publickly, and from house to house,
21 Testifying both to the Jews,
and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus
Christ.
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.
* INTRODUCTION:
a. Paul is our good model in sharing the gospel of Christ continually
even though there was a threat in his life if he will not stop reaching and
winning at any cost.
b. Paul’s dedication in soulwinning with humbleness and with many tears.
( Acts 20:19-21 ) 19 Serving the LORD with all
humility of mind, and with many tears, and temptations, which befell me by the
lying in wait of the Jews:
20 And how I kept back nothing
that was profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you
publickly, and from house to house,
21 Testifying both to the Jews,
and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus
Christ.
c. The threat that awaited to Paul's life which the Holy Spirit revealed
to him while going to the Mission field.
( Acts 20:22-23 ) 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.
* But Paul was very courageous to face the consequence of his conviction
to obey God to fulfill the great Commission of the Lord Jesus Christ.
* Paul was committed to obey Christ even it will cause of his death
( 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.
* Paul was ready to pay the high of his love for winning lost people.
* Paul said even his life is dear or important him. But his ultimate
goal in his life is to fulfill the great commission of the Lord Jesus.
* But let us take our lesson this in a revers question." WHAT IF
THE CHURCH OR CHRISTIANS WILL STOP REACHING THE LOST AND TO WIN THEM TO
CHRIST."
* What is sad, sad, sad consequence of stopping to share the gospel of
Christ to hopeless and helpless lost sinners?
1. IF CHRISTIANS WILL STOP WINNING THE LOST, "
REJOICING " IN HEAVEN WILL BE ALSO STOP.
( Luke 15:3-7 ) 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 the Church or Christians will not win souls there will be no reason
to have great rejoicing in HEAVEN.
So Christians, please don’t stop winning lost people.
* One sad reason why the Christians stop loving and winning lost people
because of their love to the World.
( II Timothy 4:10 ) For Demas hath forsaken me, having
loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to
Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia.
* John reminded us not to love the World because if you love the World
the love of the Father is not in you.
1 John 2:15 ) Love not the world, neither the
things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father
is not in him.
* We the Christian who always constrained by the love of Christ.
( II Corinthians
5:14 ) For the
love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for
all, then were all dead:
* We need more Christians who always in love to Christ and ready to give
an answer to all hopeless and helpless lost people of the hope that we have in
Jesus Christ.
( I Peter 2:15 ) 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:
( Colossians 1:27 ) To whom God would make known what
is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ
in you, the hope of glory:
* If Christians will stop loving and winning the lost great rejoicing in
heaven of legions of Angles before the present of the God will stop and this is
sad sad sad consequence.
* Oh What a great privileged that the Lord will use every lives of
Christians to make the legions in heaven to rejoice for many souls being saved
every day in our soulwinning drive. Big Amen and Amen and To God be the glory
* Let us win the lost at any cost and any time and any place. Amen and
Amen
2. IF CHRISTIANS WILL STOP WINNING THE LOST,
"REVIVAL" WILL NO LONGER BE FELT.
( Acts 11:23-25 ) 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.
Soulwinning brings revival. It fires Christian up.
a. The greatest result for many lost sinners being saved is there is
great revival that happened in the midst of the Church. That was happened in
Antioch Church.
b. The good evidence of revival in the midst of the Church is the Hands
of seen moving and working in our local.
( Acts 11:21 ) And the hand of the Lord was with
them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord.
* We always need the working of God's for Christ said in ( John 15:5 )
For without me you can do nothing and that is we need to have revival in the
midst of our church.
* More precious souls are being saved is another good mark of revival in
our Church. If no souls being saved the² Church is dead and no evidence that
God is 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.
* Another good evidence of revival in the midst of the Church is the
grace of God seen in the midst of the Church. We need the working of the grace
of God to assure the victory in the work of the Lord.
( 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.
Do not stop loving and winning because if we stop revival in the Church
no more experience in the midst of the Church.
3. IF CHRISTIANS WILL STOP WINNING THE LOST, RE-CLEANING
OF THE CHURCH WILL STOP ALSO.
( 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.
* Christ will continually cleanse the life of the Christians that
consistently win the lost.
Let us be faithful in winning the
lost.
a. The Lord made clear to His Church that the reason why Christ clean
His Church if the Church do not reach soul winning to the regions beyond.
b. Christ encourage us to lift up your eyes and 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.
c. Paul is always ready to preach and share the gospel of Christ to as
many as he can for it is the power of unto salvation for those who will put
their faith in Christ Jesus as Lord and Savior of their life.
( Romans 1:15-16 ) 15 So, as much as in me is, I am
ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.
16 For I am not ashamed of the
gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that
believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
* Paul was committed to continue to love and win lost people even there
is great threat in his life just to finish his calling of sharing the of Christ
with joy and giving God the glory for his suffering he always experiences in
the Lord’s work.
* We challenge you dear Soulwinners do not stop loving souls and winning
them to Lord Jesus Christ.
4. IF CHRISTIANS WILL STOP WINNING THE LOST, THE VISSION
THE SALVATION OF MORE LOST PEOPLE WILL STOP.
( 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.
* Christ desire that all sinners will be saved.
( Timothy 2:4 ) Who will have all men to be saved,
and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
* The Lord Jesus Christ always encourage the Church to lift up your eye
and look on the field for they are white already to harvest. Christ did stop to
encourage His disciple to reach more souls as possible as they can.
( 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.
* The Lord Jesus Christ asked His disciples to pray to God the Father to
send more laborers to the harvest.
( Mathew 9:37-38 ) 37 Then saith he unto his
disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;
38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of
the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest
The Lord when He the multitudes of lost people He was so burden for them
for they are sheep that are scattered abroad. They are hopeless and helpless
lost people. They the Christian that concern for them to be saved.
( Mathew 9:35-36 ) But when he saw the multitudes, he
was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered
abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.
* These lost sinners need the Church with a big heart to rescue them
from sure judgement in hell forever. as Jude said in verse 23.
( Jude 23 ) Jude 1:23 And others save with
fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the
flesh
* Let us not stop to rescue those so many lost people that are choosing
the wide road going to destruction in hell forver and ever judgement.
( Matthew 7:13-14 ) 13 Enter ye in at the strait gate:
for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and
many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and
narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
* Let us win the lost at any cost and any place and any time. Amen!!!
5. IF THE CHURCH WILL STOP WINNING THE LOST AT ANY COST
GROWTH OF THE CHURCH WILL STOP ALSO.
( Mathew 28:19-20 ) 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all
nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the
Holy Ghost:
20 Teaching them to observe all
things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto
the end of the world. Amen.
a. This is the great reason why we have Soulwinning revival to challenge
each individual Christian to always have a big heart for lost souls.
The Lord Jesus Christ have chosen you and i to be His good partners in
reaching and winning lost people at any cost.
( John 15:16 ) Ye have not chosen me, but I have
chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that
your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my
name, he may give it you.
b. Jerusalem Church is our good example in their big heart for the souls
and the bless them of many souls being saved.
( Acts 6:4-7 ) 4 But we will give ourselves
continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.
5 And the saying pleased the whole
multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost,
and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a
proselyte of Antioch:
6 Whom they set before the
apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands on them.
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.
The Lord Jesus Christ have chosen you and i to be His good partners in
reaching and winning lost people at any cost.
God will bless the soulwinning Church of dynamic growth of the Church.
*: This a good record of Church growth they continue to win lost people
and do not reaching and winning the lost 3000 souls got saved baptist also that
same day. Big amen and amen!!!
( 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.
* More precious souls got saved about 5 thousand souls. This is good
evidence of Church growth. Amen!!!
( Acts 4:4 ) Howbeit many of them which heard
the word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand.
* Nobody and hinder anymore to their aggressive soulwinning and daily in
the Temple they stop winning lost people every day.
( Acts 5:42 ) And daily in the temple, and in
every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.
* Lastly, we know this (Acts 6:7) the souls that being saved are already
multitudes. To God be the glory for the Church that with like this example of
Jerusalem Church in winning lost people.
( 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.
* We Challenge you all do not stop winning the lost sinners.
* God does not want that should perish in hell forever and ever
judgement in hell fire.
* God bless you all always *
