Soul Winning & The Endtime Church

 "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel..." is the command of the Lord Jesus to all His followers. India is one of the blessed nation that received the gospel in the first century by Apostle Thomas, however it is really sad to see that even after 2000 years, we have only 2-3% of the total population evangelized.

Revival in S. Korea, in different African countries are something to ponder upon and learn from so that we could see a great revival in our country.

1. We are all evangelists:- Every child of God (both small and big) are called and chosen as messengers of the good news. Share the gospel with your friends, colleagues, co-passenger, doctor and every individual because every soul whom you come across daily are perishing without the gospel and you have the gospel which can deliver them from everlasting damnation. If you don't share the gospel to the one whom you meet now, you may not meet that person ever, and probably that person may end up in hell BECAUSE you hesitated to save that person from hell fire, when you have freely got a mansion in heaven.

2. We are all one-body :- "Come to my Church" "See my Pastor" and such kind of church promotion is rampant today, Many new believers have backsliden seeing the tug-of-war between churches. Amidst of all these hustles and bustles we have forgotten that Souls are saved by the blood of Christ and have become His children. No matter which Church a person goes to, encourage them to be regular in the Church God has planted them. Let us not be sheep-stealers but shepherd boys who take care of the sheep and give account to the Chief-Shepherd. Let us be mission-minded and never self-centered.

3. Pray for the new soul you evangelized:-  Prayer and fellowship are the two important things that are essential for a new believer to grow in the Lord. Being busy for the Lord can't substitute the time that we ought to spend at the feet of the Lord. Spend time for the seed of the Word sown in the hearts of the people to repent and accept the Lord as their personal Saviour.
