« You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you and I have appointed and placed and purposefully planted you, so that you would go and bear fruit and keep on bearing, and that your fruit will remain and be lasting, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name [as My representative] He may give to you »
18 Jesus came and told His disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth.
19 Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
20 Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age”
We will consider the benefit of witnessing today and this will be drawn from our memory verse taken from John 15:16CEV
« You did not choose me. I chose you and sent you out to produce fruit, the kind of fruit that will last. Then my Father will give you whatever you ask for in my name »
All your prayers will be answered if you are a soul winner!
Imagine you owning a business, and having a son who keeps bringing in new customers to help expand that business; is there any amount that the boy would ask from you that would be too big?
In fact, you are likely to buy him a car before he even asks.
That is exactly how God feels about people who win souls for Him.
The Bible says there is always joy in heaven whenever a sinner repents (Luke 15:7).
God is so passionate about mankind that He throws a party anytime someone crosses from darkness into His marvelous light.
He is so excited that He throws a party in heaven for each soul that is saved.
Imagine then how He would feel about the fellow who preached to that soul.
You can be sure that even though the fellow is not in Heaven to partake of the feast, God would send his own portion of the goodies to Him on earth and such a person would be very dear to God.
That is why if you are a committed soul winner, all your prayers would be answered speedily.
I want you to take note however that in John 15:16, He said if the person wins souls and the souls remain, in other words, if you follow up the new converts until they attain full maturity in Christ, then all your prayers would be answered.
- It is not enough to just preach, lead people to Christ and forget about them; you must follow them up with phone calls, Bible Study meetings and so on to ensure that they don’t go back to the world.
You must keep them in your prayers always to ensure that you are shielding them from the tricks of the devil to take them back to the world.
If you do these, then there is nothing you ask from God that He will not give to you.
Application – Preach the gospel and follow up with new converts to ensure they do not return to the world
