Words of the Ministry
We have studied the importance of soul winning and the several ways we can achieve effective evangelism, today we intend to look at some of the several benefits that soul winners get as a result of obeying the great commission. We need to realize that God doesn’t just give us commands and instruction, whatever the Lord commands have its benefits. Every act of obedience and disobedience would definitely yield its reward.
The first benefit of soul winning is that it brings great joy to God and his angels. As sons and servants of God, what should give us joy is that our father and master is joyful. The bible records there is great joy in heaven when an individual is saved (Luk 15.7). As a reward, we are set for a turn around too as we have touched the heart of God, little wonder the bible says he that wins a soul is wise.
Another benefit is that it depopulates the kingdom of hell, many that should normally end up in hell would through your evangelism be saved from hell. That is kingdom advancement, we depopulate hell and satanic influence when we win a soul. Most times we complain of the evil in our society, one of the ways to reduce it is to win souls, most of the individual used by the devil are but his captives, when they are saved, we save the situation.
Another benefit is church growth, 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”. Like we learnt within the week when we evangelize, the church grows, the influence of believers increases the body of Christ gets stronger and we can be more impactful.
Soul winning also destroys the works of the devil, 1 John 3:8b “For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil”. The devil hates soul winning as soul winning exposes his works and destroys them, many that have been bound get free during evangelism and soul winning crusades, witchcraft is defeated, ancestral soul ties are broken, sinners are saved and the knowledge of the saving power of Jesus is publicized, the devil is always put to shame and his lies exposed.
We enjoy a guaranteed provision from the Lord, the bible teaches in Matt 6:33 “33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” There is a promise of addition when we seek the kingdom and the number one way of seeking the kingdom is soul winning. From the above verse God promised to meet our need when we meet his need. Our heart should be to please the Lord and as we do, he God shall supply our need according to his riches in glory (Phil 4.19).
We walk in the miracle power of God when we win souls, the bible states, the signs shall follow us when we make disciples (Mrk 16.17-18), many want to experience the power of God in their lives and ministry, the key is soul winning and kingdom service, the power of God is for service (Act 1.8). When we launch out, we see the sick healed, the oppressed set free and God would be glorified through our lives.
Paul said in 2 Tim 4:7-8 “7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: 8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing”. Beyond some of the earthly benefits we mentioned, there are other heavenly benefits, we receive a crown for a job well done in the body when we appear before the judgement seat of Christ. Now is the time to labor for the Lord to gain a reward, salvation is free but the reward is not, it is commensurate to the service we render in the kingdom. May God grant us light.
