Unremitting soul winning

unremitting soul winning

I have made the personal decision to never give up on a soul . Why should I think that it's OK to do this ? . The way I see it is this ; If I am in the process of trying to win a soul and it is seemingly difficult or impossible so I decide to give up on them its as if I am saying God's OK with giving up on them , that God no longer desires their soul . This is of course incorrect , it is Gods will that all shall be saved . So why would I think its fine for me to give up ? because they don't seem interested ? because Its difficult ? No. I am a representative of God in this world , his partner in soul winning , I need to do my job and do it to my full capability .

If I decide to give up because someone is unresponsive or defensive , its as if I'm saying that the deceiving spirit that is preventing them from receiving the word of God is more powerful than the Gospel of Jesus Christ . Its as if I've lost faith in the fact that the word works . Greater is he that is in me than he that is in the world .. so why would I retreat from the will of Christ within me because the one that's in the world is making it difficult ?.  I go out to soul-win not with the flesh but wearing my holy Ghost battle armour , I am not relying on my own ability but the ability of God who is able to do all things . To walk away from a soul considering them unable to be won is an underestimation of his power .

Now this is not to say that every single soul that I preach the Gospel to will without doubt be saved . Instead what I am saying is I will never be the one to back down . I will be persistent , unremitting  , I will continue to preach the gospel to them for as long as they allow it . If they want to give up on me and what I am saying then that is their choice , but I will not give up on them , I will not be the one to give up . My agenda is to not stop until Jesus has been confessed as their lord and saviour , it is for them to decide whether or not they leave before that point . Yes some people will not allow me to continue to the point that they will accept Christ but even if they leave I can honestly say to God that I pursued as far as I could with the knowledge that I have at least planted a seed in them which I can pray over and water.

For example one time I was on the bus and got talking to a Muslim woman , and I was preaching the gospel to her , I was about to tell her my testimony when it was time for me to get off the bus , I decided to stay on the bus and continue talking to her , by the time she had got off the bus , she hadn't given her life to Christ , but I had managed to finish my testimony , this which I considered a seed , I could then pray for her and declared that my testimony would stir up the desire in her to seek Jesus . I had missed my stop by miles and had to walk home but the fact was I couldn't miss my opportunity to witness to her because it wasn't convenient , I mean  who knows what impact my testimony made in her life ?

Yes some people may get uncomfortable , some even may be offended but I am not afraid to offend people if it is for Jesus and in accordance with his will. I keep in mind that no matter how they might not enjoy my persistence , I am trying to lead them to the greatest thing they could ever possess . I am recommending the victorious life in Christ , trying to lead them to salvation . Any discomfort they may get from my efforts now is nothing compared with  the discomfort that they could experience if no one successfully leads them to Christ . I mean what happens if I'm the only person that tried to preach to them and I gave up because they were a little rude to me ?.

All I'm saying is never write someone off as an unreachable soul , because each and every soul is precious to God , you might be their only way to hear the Gospel. God doesn't just seek easy to win souls he wants everybody , play your part and claim every soul for Jesus with your full capability .

And to anyone who I'm in the process of preaching the gospel to , accept the fact that I am not going to give up on you , because God will not give up on you , he loves you unconditionally and I'll do all it takes for you to know that .
