If you don't want your destination to be like a branch that has been cut
-
off, which ends up in fire. You need to abide in the vine.
-
Amen. Please preach to your neighbor. Abide in the vine. Abide
-
in the vine. Amen. Next verse. But if you abide in Me
-
and my words abide in you. If you abide in Me and my words
-
abide in you. This is for those who do quiet time. If you
-
abide in Jesus and you do your quiet time, this is what the Bible
-
is saying. You will ask whatever you desire, and it shall be done
-
for you. Those who abide in Jesus and do the acquire time, they
-
abide in the word. They have answers to prayers hundred percent answers to prayers.
-
Then, some of you you've not started prince and prayers because your parents
-
are feeding you. Someone say your parents are abiding you because you don't want
-
to grow up. But you see, when you get to that stage where
-
you need to stand on your feet and you need to begin to learn to
-
trust God, you will learn how to praise and praise you understand, and
-
you see, at that time the scripture will come true to you. Because
-
if you're abiding Jesus and in His word, then whatever you pray for,
-
God will give it to you. Do you understand if you're abiding Him and
-
He abides in you, you're abiding his word, then whatever you desire,
-
you just need to even desire it, and God will do it for you.
-
Amen. And So the secret of fruitfulness is to abide in Jesus.
-
The secrets of fruitfulness in the church or in our Christian walk is to abide
-
in the Word of God. Amen. Let's give the Lord a wave.
-
Those who did the acquire time in the past week, Give the Lord a
-
wave. Give the Lord awave you did your quiet time within the past week.
-
Give the Lord a wave. Amen. Shout out to those who didn't
-
do the acquiet time. The scripture is looking at you. Amen. And
-
So, as part of God's plan for us to be fruitful, we need
-
to abide in the world. Amen. The purpose of God for us is
-
that we are fruitful in our vetical relationship with God. We are fruitful in
-
our horizontal relationship with God. Just like how the cross looks. We need
-
to be fruitful on all aspects. Amen. And God's plan for us,
-
for saving us is that we also become saviors of people. God has saved
-
us. All we save people. God has saved us. All we become
-
save of men. God has saved us, So become saviors of women.
-
Amen. Instead of laughing with them so that they all enter hell, you
-
are saving them from going to hell. Instead of watching those things with them
-
and laughing and laughing with them and leading them to hell, you are saving
-
them and preventing them from going to hell. Amen. And so others also
-
need to be saved. And God has saved you, so you can save
-
them too. Can I hear you? Amen? So please preach to yourself
-
and say that God has saved me, so I can save others. Amen.
-
Let's look at Romans chapter ten, verse thirteen, Romance chapter ten,
-
verse thirteen. And there's an interesting scripture here. Romance chapter ten, verse
-
thirteen. And the Bible says that for whots whoever calls on the name of
-
the Lord shall be saved. Whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall
-
be what those of you here don't talk. Whoever calls upon the name of
-
the Lord shall be word, shall be saved. And so he means that
-
calling upon the name of the Lord can bring you salvation. Do you understand.
-
Let's look at the next verse, verse fourteen. How then shall they
-
call on him whom they have not believed? Give me a wave. If
-
you have friends who are unbelievers, above your head, Amen, you have
-
friends who are unbelievers. Now the Bible says that anyone who can also upon
-
the name of the Lord shall be saved. So how can they call upon
-
the name of the Lord of whom they have not believed? And how shall
-
they believe in whom they have not heard? Your friends are unbelievings. When
-
you meet, the only things you talk about our worldly things stay from beginning
-
to end. You can be on the phone with them five hours. You
-
talk about boys, you talk about girls, you talk about clothes, you
-
talk about you talk about shoes, You talk about everything except Christ Jesus.
-
So how can they hear when they've not been told? How can they believe
-
in Him? When you you have not told them? How can they believe?
-
Remember we said those who call upon the name of the Lord shall be,
-
they shall be, they shall be saved. So if you keep quiet,
-
they will not be saved. And where will they go? They will
-
go to hell. So God is calling you to be a savior of your
-
friends. Amen. He's calling you to be a savior of your friends.
-
And so how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard?
-
And how shall they hear without a preacher? So God is calling you to
-
be a preacher, to preach the gospel to your friends. Do you understand
-
He's calling you to be a preacher. Tell them about John three sixteen,
-
Tell them about the love of God. Tell them about the testimonies you've been
-
hearing here. Amen, tell them about the mighty works of God. Next
-
verse please, verse fifteen. And how shall they preach unless they are sent?
-
So today I'm sending you. I'm sending all of you to your friends.
-
I'm not saying go to my last market and go and preach. I'm
-
not saying go to Carnation market and go and preach. But I'm sending you
-
to your friends and your cousins and your siblings who don't know Jesus, who
-
have not believed in Him. Amen. As it is written, how beautiful
-
are the feet of those who preach the Gospel of peace, who bring glad
-
tidings of good things? How beautiful are their feet? Amen? You see
-
my sneakers I'm wearing. You see my feet are looking beautiful. Jesse.
-
Imagine me standing here with some mechanic from a Abraca whose feet are beautiful,
-
whose feet are beautiful? Because I'm preaching the gospel. How beautiful are the
-
feet? So what it means is that God will set you on the part
-
of righteousness, So your feet will be walking on fine things. Do you
-
understand? Your feet will be walking on fine things? So tell your neighbor,
-
please be a preacher of the Word of God. Don't be a comedian.
-
When we check your social media, you are a comedian because all you
-
do is you crack jokes. You don't want that to be your profession,
-
do you? Yes? So you know the Bible says are out of the
-
abandance of the hearts. The mouth speaks. So if you are you like
-
telling jokes, then it means in your heart there is it's full of jokes.
-
So potentially you can become a comedian in future. Hey, do you
-
understand? So tell them? Tell them? The title of my message today
-
is tell them all right, tell them because Jesus needs you to tell them
-
about him. Amen. And So how beautiful are the feet of those who
-
preach the good news. So every believer is called to be a soul winner,
-
a messenger of reconciliation. Amen. For your older maids who are going
-
through the shepherding course to become shepherds, we have been dealing with how to
-
be a messenger of the message of reconciliation because God has called us. Many
-
are called, but few are chosen, you understand, and very soon will
-
come and line them up here call you begin to call them shepherds because you
-
you've been here. You are not applying yourself to nothing. You are just
-
flowing like what are So you'll not become a shepherd. But some people will
-
become shepherds over you, and they begin to teach you when you come to
-
they were standing in front of me and teach you this is what the Bible
-
says. And you listen because they're light to shine in bright TI say amen,
-
do you understand? Amen? So God needs you to be fruitful in
-
all those areas. Amen. And so I'm going to share with you in
-
this month one hundred and twenty reasons. Yes, somebody said, hey,
-
say it again. Somebody say it again again and over. Yeah, this
-
is we look like they're not in church. It is that we have to
-
move you guys here so you sit here for me, and then we move
-
these people here so that I don't look here. I just look here.
-
Amen. One hundred and twenty reasons why you must be a soul winner?
-
Do you understand? Yes? Yes. If we decide to go through the
-
Bible from beginning to end, we'll get more than one million reasons why you
-
need to be a soul winner. Amen. But today I'm sharing with you
-
five reasons out of the one hundred, So please count. What is one
-
hundred and twenty miners five? One hundred and fifteen. So that's the deficit
-
will work a taste hunter we'll get today, Amen. So number one reason
-
why you need to be a soul winner. You must be a soul winner
-
because it is the great commission. It is a great commandment from Jesus.
-
It is the great instruction. It is the great order given by our Lord
-
and Savior, Jesus Christ. Matthew chapter twenty eight, Verse eighteen to twenty.
-
Matthew Chapter twenty eight, vers. Eighteen to twenty, and Jesus came
-
and spoke to them, saying, all authority has been given to me in
-
heaven and in earth and on the earth. Next verse, go ye therefore,
-
and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the
-
Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. How
-
many of you are baptize yesterday? Yesterday were baptized twenty one of you?
-
Please stand if you're baptized yesterday, Amen. So the Monday is what Go
-
ye therefore, Amen, Please come, all of you baptized. Come?
-
Amen. So these are four out of twenty one? Is what's the difference
-
between for twenty one mine? As far his words, he sees some people
-
are looking for their calculators. Seventeen okay, so seven the seventeen of them
-
will compass against service. Amen. So the Bible says, go ye therefore,
-
and make disciples, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the
-
Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen. So I want to congratulate you
-
on behalf of paper the artribution all right, for fulfilling all righteousness. You
-
have fulfilled all righteousness, And you are now a disciple of the Lord Jesus
-
Christ. You understand you are a disciple. You are now a follower of
-
Jesus. Do you understand? So you are not following Netflix anymore? Somebody
-
is asking, am I show you are following Jesus? Are they sure?
-
Are you okay? He's asking, are you sure? All right? So
-
now it's time to live for Christ because God has given you newness of life.
-
All right, So congratulations again. Please let's congratulate them, amen,
-
and please be se tech. Your certificates are ready right after church, go
-
to the information desk and pick them up. All right. So we are
-
making disciples for Jesus Christ. Amen. Do you know what my reward is
-
in heaven? I'm sending materials. They are building me mansions in heaven and
-
now are you can't tap into it? It is on topable. You need
-
to work your own works. Amen. So you also need to win souls
-
and bring them to church so that when we lead them to Christ and we
-
get them to be disciples of Jesus Christ, and they go through baptim to
-
become disciples, and they become fruitful, and we are sending materials to having
-
to build, then you can be a partaker of that blessing. Do you
-
understand? Then you can be a partaker of it. I hope you understand.
-
Yes. So Papa is a partaker of this blessing because this is this
-
church. I'm also a partaker of it. So the shepherds who helped train
-
them to get them ready, they are also partakers of this blessing. And
-
so you you are not a partiker because he didn't do anything. And then
-
when you go to school and they say, Chalie, we are doing NC
-
and see, Chalie, you bring smregary, you bring conflicts, you bring
-
this, you bring this. You're the only thing you bring is you bring
-
your spoon? What area if you ring spoon? Amen? And so Jesus
-
is saying the first reason, what is the first reason for being a so
-
winner? It is a great commandment from the Lord Jesus that we go out
-
there and we win souls. Amen? And so what is the commandment?
-
What is a command? What is an instruction? Can anyone tell us what
-
an instruction? A command? Yes? What's is it? An instruction?
-
So google it? Check your dictionary. What's an instruction? What is a
-
command? Anybody? Sorry? Okay? Instruction? Okays? An instruction is
-
a direction of good. An instruction is a direction or order. All right.
-
And so Jesus Christ has ordered us that we should win souls because he
-
has made us light of the world and salt of the earth. If he
-
hadn't made you anything, he wouldn't order you. But because he has made
-
you, and the glory of the Lord is all over you, he is
-
ordering you to go and win souls. Amen. Number two reasons why you
-
must be a soul winner is that we are called to this great work of
-
soul winning. We are called to this great work of soul winning because we
-
have been saved by Christ Jesus. He has called us to this great work
-
of soul winning. Matthew, Chapter twenty two, verse fourteen. For many
-
are called, but few are chosen. God has called all of us to
-
the work of soul winning. Jesus has called all of us to the work
-
of soul winning the few that are chosen, don't Some people they miss miss
-
quotes the scripture. They will say that, oh, few are chosen.
-
So it means that we don't need to do anything. If you read the
-
fact says for many are called. God has called all of us, the
-
few that are chosen, as He has chosen, into leadership. Amen.
-
There can't be three captains in a football team, can they? There can
-
be three captains, which would what team use awards. Your football team has
-
three captains. Hey in on the said three captains. You're trying to say,
-
hmm, that's why you're thinking. Don't be technical, just stay stay
-
normal flats a tactician. Don't be technical at all. We are talking plain
-
English, Amen. And they be four presidents of a country. Ah,
-
Gerardia, welcome back. It looks like the glory of God is all by
-
you. Amen. So God has called all of us, including you,
-
you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you,
-
you, you, you everybody. Yet God has called all of us
-
to win souls. Amen. So please preach to yourself that God has called
-
me to win souls. Amen. The Bible says that those who win souls
-
are wise. Amen. If that's true, then it means those who don't
-
win souls are You didn't hear me? I said the Bible says those who
-
win souls are wise. If that's true, and we know the Bible is
-
true and the opposite is also true. So those who don't win souls are
-
please, those who don't win souls are Did I write the Bible? I'm
-
answering a question. Did I write the Bible? I wasn't born. The
-
Bible is God's word. And so God is saying that if you win souls,
-
then you are wise. But if you decide that you are not going
-
to be part of the many that are called, then you are put your
-
name there. Amen. Amen, just put your name there. Amen.
-
Number three reasons why you must be a soul winner. It's because you are
-
created to carry out the good work of soul winning. Winning souls is a
-
good thing Efficiency Chapter two, verse ten. For we are His workmanship,
-
created in Christ Jesus for good works, when God prepared beforehand that we should
-
walk in them. So we are created in Christ Jesus for good works.
-
God has created us for good works. When we come to your school and
-
we are looking for bad boys and bad girls, you should not be part
-
of them. Do you understand when we come to your school, we come
-
to your house, and we are looking for trouble makers, you should not
-
be part of them. Because God has created you as His workmanship, created
-
in Christ Jesus for good works. In end, and God beforehand prepared us
-
that we should walk in them. It is our heritage. God has made
-
us to walk in goodness because we are His workmanship. Amen. So please
-
preach to your neighbor. This morning, we are training. You have to
-
preach. Preach to your neighbor this morning that God has created you for good
-
works. Oh, can you please preach to somebody else, tell them God
-
has created you for good works. Amen. And so because God has created
-
you for good works, you can't be doing bad works. Or you can't
-
just be sitting. They're doing no work. Amen. You can't just be
-
sitting they're doing no work. So get a special notes book and write on
-
it's so winning. And write all your friends who are unbelievers, writing their
-
names, and every day when you have your quiet time, pray for them.
-
The Lord saved this guy, Save this girl. Right. You know
-
some of your friends are very bad. So right from baddest to gooddest right
-
number one, the most baddest are you alcohol? Right? But tell it
-
right? Put her name there and be praying for her. Amen, be
-
praying for her. The Lord, I'm going to talk to her about you.
-
Please open her heart so she will receive you. Be praying. You
-
see your faces self shows that you have many friends who are bad. They
-
need Jesus. Amen, they need Jesus. So you need to be proactive.
-
Amen. We need to win souls because we are created for good works.
-
Amen. Number four. We need to be so awareness because winning souls
-
give great joy and gives great energy to Christians. Look Chapter ten, verse
-
one and two. Winning souls gives great joy. There are some people.
-
From the time they get up from their bed to come, there is no
-
joy on their face. There's no joy in their hearts. Their faces like
-
concrete. From the house to church and back home, there is no joy.
-
I saw somebody from here the YouTube when he comes to church. He's
-
as though his mother has died. I saw him yesterday. He was playing
-
basketball. He was happy bouncing the ball. So I called him and said,
-
hey, come here. Do you see the way you are bouncing the
-
ball, and you are happy when you come to church. Be happy like
-
that. So as you are bouncing the ball when the ball, here's the
-
floor, poom your bridge to tell you church be happy. Poom Church be
-
happy. Poom Church be happy. Poom Church be happy. You have to
-
be happy when you come to church. Amen. And to have great joy,
-
you need to be a soul winner. Amen. And so the Bible
-
says in Luke ten that after these things, the Lord appointed seventy and send
-
them two by two. Very soon we will be going out to by two.
-
Tell your neighbor two by two, and we are not going to eat
-
pizza. We are going to win souls and then eats pizza. The Qui
-
people they like pizza. Wo't buy your pizza again, Amen, two by
-
two, and send them before the face into every city and place where he
-
himself was about to go. Next verse, next verse, are we going
-
to the next verse? There's one and two. Yes. Then he said
-
to them, the harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few.
-
Therefore read the father the lot of the harvest to send out laborers into his
-
field. How many of you know that every second there are people dying.
-
There are people dying. You understand every minute there are people dying around the
-
world. If you're like look, listen, there's this website. Look for
-
it. It gives you the statistics of people dying every second. Yes,
-
and you see the countdown. How many people are in the world now eight
-
billion, nine billion, so you see the countdown. It will be counting
-
down, sir. And in the same way that people are dying every second,
-
people are being born every second. So they are they are filling the
-
gap you understand. And so it means that if those people who are dying
-
every second do not know Jesus, where are they? Where are they going?
-
Where's their destination? Help? There's no careble bend, It's straight to
-
hell. Do you understand? So that's why Jesus is calling us to be
-
so awitness. So we have to start winning our friends who don't go to
-
church. We have to start inviting our very soon next week. If our
-
second said, we'll start doing live streaming. If I did live streaming this
-
morning, when you're doing worship, when check the instagram. So every Sunday
-
we do live streaming on Instagram and Facebook. So the moment we start will
-
announce, MC will announced, or whoever it is MC. Share with your
-
friends your unbelieve our friends who don't go to church, share with them,
-
share the link, Yes, share the link. You share the link so
-
that they watch church so they can hear something that will draw them in.
-
Amen. That is the least you can do, as far as you're so
-
winning efforts. Hallelujah. Are you in charge? Amen? And so so
-
winning brings great joy. So let's look at the verse seventeen of chapter ten.
-
Verse seventeen then the seventeen returned with the seventeen returned with the seventeen returned
-
with how many of you know that joy is not the same as happiness.
-
Oh, they don't know. Joy is not the same as happiness. Happiness
-
is conditional. Happiness is based on things, people, situations, So the
-
moment that thing doesn't happen for you, you are sad. But joy comes
-
from God. It is not conditioned on anything or any situation. So you
-
can be as broke as a mouse and still have joy. And when you
-
come to church, you are the one who dance best. Amen. When
-
I finish secondary school, one of the things we used to do the days
-
that we don't have money and we are going to church, that's when we
-
dress sharp. We'll polish our shiny, will dress like we have billionaires,
-
because we have joy. Amen. When others are saying that Charlie, I
-
don't have money to go to church, we have dressed. We are wearing
-
at three piece suits. And when we goes and people can give me some
-
coins. And every time I Charlie, you today is not good name seek
-
Okay, you understand, because we have joy. There is joy in doing
-
the work of God. Amen. So if you don't have joy in your
-
heart, it is time for you to switch to being a soul winner.
-
So you also have joy. Amen. That's some people they've never smiled in
-
charge before, talk about laugh when if I say let us all laugh right
-
now, you see their face like head master face. They don't laugh.
-
They don't know how to laugh. They don't know how to laugh because there
-
is no the thing is not there that you can just be there and be
-
so happy within yourself that oh you just start to laugh. My God is
-
good. Hey, yeah, lah, my God is good. See I
-
have joy. Amen. Some people, even if you bring again, that
-
thing is not there. Amen. So it's a sign that you need to
-
become a soul winner so that the joy of the Lord will permeate your heart.
-
So you also will have joy. Amen. If you look at your
-
pictures, test when you go home, look at all your pictures and see
-
if there's joy inside. Ah, but there is no joy amen. And
-
so you must be a soul winner because so winning brings great joy, Amen
-
to the believer. Number five final point for today. You must be a
-
soul winner because so winning is the heartbeat of the Lord Jesus Christ. Look
-
chapter nineteen, Verse ten. You must be a soul winner, because so
-
winning is the heartbeat of the Lord Jesus. Amen. Look chapter nineteen lest
-
tend the Bible says that for the son of Man came, He has come
-
to seek and to save the lost. Amen, Jesus came to seek and
-
to say the lost. And so Jesus is calling you to seek and to
-
save the lost. Amen, Jesus is calling you to seek and to save
-
the lost. Four months from now, all your friends should be born again.
-
Do you understand? All your friends should be born again? You see?
-
And those who don't want to be born again, they shouldn't be a
-
friend anymore because evil company, evil communication corrupts good manners. So it's either
-
they are influencing you or you are influencing them. And as a child of
-
God, you should be the one who influences, not the other way around.
-
Do you understand? And so God is calling us all to become so
-
witnessed. So please lift your right hand to the law and say, Father,
-
today I accept to be a so winner. Amen. Say I accept
-
to be a so winner to seek and save those who are lost. Amen,
-
So say so help me God in Jesus name, Amen. And so
-
the charge to you this morning is that God is calling us to be fruitful.
-
To understand, Jesus is the vine, He's a tree. We are
-
the branches. We are connected to him. So long as we stay connected
-
to him, we become fruitful. But the moment we disconnect from him,
-
we begin to weather and die. There is no fruitfulness. I hope you
-
understand. And if we abide in Him, and we abide in his word,
-
then we become fruitful because everything we desire and pray for God would give
-
to us. I hope he gets it. Just a quick story one of
-
my nephews. You know, well when you finished university, he was struggling
-
to get a job and all of that, and so where he was working
-
they were not paying and I said, okay, you resigned, come and
-
work with me. You know boys wood job, you get some coins to
-
joke. So he joined me. We were working, and then he didn't
-
really have a plan for his life, like he didn't know what next steps
-
to take. So I prayed for him and suddenly he said, oh,
-
I feel like going back to school. So he applied to a school in
-
the US, and you know, he got admission to It was an online
-
because he was doing but then it required that he has to go and do
-
an imperson training at some point. So he looked at how much he has
-
to pay and all of that. He said, oh, Charlata thing,
-
it looks like he won't. I said, go and apply. He went
-
to apply. They gave me a four years visa to the US. You
-
understand, he applied for a grant. He got it. He is flying
-
to the US next week to go and begin his course. Understand. So
-
when you are fruitful, you will affect every and every and anyone around you.
-
And God has called you to be fruitful. Amen. For many of
-
you, traveling to abroad to America is nothing because you've been going and coming.
-
So by see if you're born at the backside of the desert, where
-
you've had three passports and all of them have been empty from the time you
-
got them to the day they expired. Going to America for school is a
-
big deal. Amen. So tell your neighbor for free that God is calling
-
you to be a soul winner. Amen. And so please rise on your
-
feet, amen. And if you can, cloud for Jesus, cloud for
-
the Lord Jesus. Amen. And so just close your eyes briefly and just
-
pray to the Father. Tell the Lord, Lord, help me. I
-
want to be useful to you. I want to be useful to your purpose.
-
I want to be useful to your kingdom as a soul winner. Help
-
me tell the Lord, the Lord help me that from today as I leave,
-
help me to begin to win souls. One of your mates last week
-
called me right after change that after she had the message the Uba you took,
-
she witnessed to the Uba driver to win him for Christ and sets me
-
the Uba Driver's number. You understand, So pray to God that God will
-
help you. Shyness is no excuse not to speak about the gospel, because
-
if there there's other things, you are not shy. So you just open
-
your mouth and pray to the Lord. Amen. I see you, guys
-
in the spirit. You are becoming very tall. Yes, I see you
-
are becoming very tall in the spirit. You are becoming tall as you are
