STRATEGIES FOR EFFECTIVE SOUL WINNING

Tonight, I want to share with us very briefly on strategies for effective so winning. On Sunday we looked at sustaining your passion for the lost, and I took out time to review to us from scriptures. First of all, I began by telling us that three things make our existence to count as far as God is concerned. I said, Number one is our knowledge of Him. And I said, not knowledge about Him, but knowledge of Him. Is possible to know about God and not to know God. So when we speak of the knowledge of God, we are talking of the depth of. Your experience of God. Jesus speaking in John seventeen, verse three, he said, this is life etana, that you may know him they only through God and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. This is life eternal. So if you don't know God from his realm, you don't have life. So the quality of your intimacy or encounters or experience of God is what determines the quality of your life. In First jun chatter one from verse one to two said that which was from the beginning which we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes and looked upon, and our hands have handled of the world. Of life is that. That is what we have come to commit. To you, that you may have fellowship with us. And E said, truly, our fellowship is with the Father. So I said, the first thing that gives essence to your life is the depth of the knowledge of God that you have. This is why we emphasize the necessity for intimacy and encounters. The goal is for you to get to know God by experience and invariably walk into the fullness of the essence and the measure of God life. Number two, I said, what gives value to your existence is. The quality of your worship. Two and before God. In John four twenty three to twenty four, Jesus was revealing to us a kind of people that God is looking for. It's about the our comet and now is when true worshippers to worship the Father in spirit and in truth is say for the Father's see cats such to worship him. For the Father see cats such. So these are the kind of people God is looking for, true worshippers. And the reason we said it defines the essence of life is because worship transcends time. If you go to revelations that before Ver's eleven the elders opened our understanding to why it's important from verse one to western view to us the old Lord to receive glory, honor, and power. For thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they were created. So all things were created to give him pleasure. And how do they give him pleasure? To declare him worthy to receive glory, honor, and power. So this was all they were doing. They fell from their thrones, cast their crowns, and they worshiped him. And I said, worship. It's not primarily a song. Worship is a hard posture of reverence and adoration that results in you deadness to the will of God. So you are yielded to God's will, not by cohesion, not by compulsion, but from the place of reverence and adoration. And that was why they fell on their faces and they cast their crowns, submitting to the. Majesty of the tune. And this was their declaration. So you can ventilate what's in your heart and the action of submission through a song. But is deeper than the song. Jesus said, not my will, but dying. And I told you. The first time the world worship was used in Genesis twenty two, Verse five, nobody was singing. Abraham was going to sacrifice Isaac. He was submitting to God's will, even though it was difficult, but it was born from adoration and reverence. Number three I said, what gives relevance to your existence is the degree and the quality of your participation in advancing the front tiers of God's kingdom. If you don't advance God's kingdom, your existence is almost a waste. Jesus taught them to pray. Matthew siks. You read from verse nine to thirteen. He said, after this man I prayed. He didn't say, praid this prayer. You can pray like that. But he was teaching us the contexts and the compositions of prayer. So you begin prayer from his selfless position Aurah, not mine. Anybody approaching God in prayer must be selfless. Selfish man cannot approve the order Aurah. The number two Father recognizing God, ask your sustainer, that's faith? Who what in heaven? You recognize His government, his will, his wisdom, and his authority. So Jesus was not saying praid this prayer, was showing us what prayer entails. Selflessness our faith, father sustainer. The government does not sustain me. My business does sustain me. Father its foundation, sustainer, nourisher. That's the meaning of abba, that's the meaning of patter. And then who are in heaven surrendering to the government of the True, the will, the wisdom of God, and the authority of God. Then you hallow him again, worship comes in. Hallow be thy name. Then thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. So prayer constitutes self less hat posture, faith disposition, worship disposition, and surrendering to extending God's kingdom. Then you can ask give us this day are deliberate. For most of us, all our prayers begin and end with He was a deliberate That's why we are not strong in prayer. But the emphasis is Matthew nineteen, Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. So the degree to with. You pat diiped in kingdom comma gender Matthew sixteen. It's a degree to which your life counts. That's why when we were saved, immediately we were enrolled in kingdom comme a gender. Whoever is in Christ, Jesus second Korenthians five seventeen is the new creature. All things have passed away. Behold, old things have become new Verse nineteen. To reap. God was in. Christ reconciling the world to himself, not imputing their trespass against them. But they gave them the world of reconciliation. So everyone is supposed to participate in advance in God's kingdom because I told you the works of Jesus will save you. But to your work we give you reward. God is not rewarding us based on the finished works of Christ. It's rewarding us based on our. Walk of love and work of faith glory to Jesus. So if you don't have the work, your life is useless. When Paud came to the end of his life Second Thrembuty four seven and eight, he told us, I have fought a good fight. I have finished my course. I have kept the feat. Now they remained for me a crown of righteousness, which they just God that give me, and not me. Only, but everyone that loves His appearing. So we established three things very cardinal to our existence, and we started dealing with the third aspect, which is kingdom advancement. And I said, there are many ways to advance kingdom. You can advance kingdom through prayer. You can advance kingdom through so winning. You can advance kingdom through building a community that fears God. All of these things are strategies of kingdom advancement. So you can start a system and the ideology the powers of that system is God. That's also kingdom advancement. Anybody who comes there submits to that ideology. So there are many ways of advancing kingdom. But we particularly looked at so winning as a very important aspect of kingdom advancement. And I said, there are few reasons why this is very important. Number one, because of the value of the soul. So willing is important because of the value of the soul. And I advance four reasons why a soul is very important. Number one, I read from Genesis one, twenty six and twenty seven, and I said, this soul is the bearer of the image of God. Let us make man in our own image after our likeness, and let them have dominion. So if you want to find anything that carries God's image, the soul happens to be the only thing that carries visibly goes image and so God will not like that which carries his image to perish. This is why the Bible said, it is not God's will that any soul should finish. Number two, I said, the soul is very important because the. Soul holdes it turn out significance. No soul dies. When the Bible said they saw that Sinnat shall die, he's talking about separation from God. Every soul is eitana. And I said, there are not too many things created. That titana they saw is one of the few things that are eternal in essence. And so he speaks of a lot of investment. That means God invested so much in the soul and they wouldn't want it to be wasted. For instance, Ecclesia six three level, the Bible said, God has put. A tannity in our hearts. And I also showed you from scripture that on tree Man was created. There was no entity, There was no system that could contain the fullness of God, even heaven. The Bible said, this is strown. He said, they act it is fooled too. But when it created man, man became the only creation that was able. To host God in his fullness. It's a Christ in you Colosus one twenty sixth and twenty seven is the whole glory. So the soul has eternal consequence. That's why the soul is important to God. Number three, I said, the soul is important because the Bible makes us understand that every riches world in the ad is not sufficient to buy one soul, not all the riches on it. That's why Matthew six when he six said, for what aly profated man? If he gainst the whole world and suffers the loss of his soul, and it's a washally. Man give in exchange for his soul, So there is nothing under heaven that can procure it. So so if the soul is. More relevant, more significant, significant than the whole hed, then is something of great war. And then finally, I said, when God wanted to put a word on the soul, it was his blood he used. So the only currency that could purchase his soul is the blood of Jesus Christ. First Peter one, verse eighteen to nineteen. The Bible told us we were not bought for as much as you are not redeemed with corruptible sea things as silver, gold from vain conversation received by the traditions of your father's, but with the precious blood of Jesus Christ as a lamb without blemish or spot. So it's the blood of Jesus that he used to equate the value of the soul. Because you buy commodities with the resources that you evaluate to equate them. So when God wanted to begain the soul, it was his blood he used. And that's why Paul Speakinning Romance eight thirty two. He said, if he did not we thought this only begotten song, but freely gave him for us. How should he not if you think give us all things? Because the most precious thing in God's realm is this song, and that's what he has changed for the soul. So we said, soul willing is very important first and formal because of the value of the soul. Then number two with that, so winning is very important. Because so winning brings a lot of benefits when you become a sou willner. In case you don't know the value of souls, when you become a sou wienna, there are lots of benefits attached to the act of winning souls. Anybody who wins souce. Has several benefits, and I enumeraated at least four of them on Sunday. Number one, I said, so. Winning confess greatness in the kingdom sixty eight vers. Eleven. Is that the Lord gave his word. Is that great was the company of them that published it. So anybody who publishes the Gospel and invariably wind souce becomes great. And I said that greatness is twofold quantitative greatness and qualitative greatness. Because when you win sauce, you become numerous in number, and when you have a wind sous you gain the rank and value in God's presence. So greatness is the byproduct of so winning. Look at the disciples of Jesus, fisher men tom fish, shafts of men. Until today we still reference them. People go to study and write PhD Tests on the doctrine of Peter, the petrine Epesus. The writing of a fisherman a term of greatness. And Jesus said, it's not just among men. Is that in the world to come, they were going to sit on twelfth rooms to judge the twelfth tribes of Israel. So you are great on it and in eternity. Number two. With that, soul winning is very important because it is a pre costs so for rewards in eternity. If you studied down there chapter twelve, as three is. A day that turn, and day that the wise should shine as the brightness of the firmament, and day that shall to many to righteousness as these tars forever, as these tars forever. So you receive rewards in eternity, glory, ethality in eternity, thrones in eternity, crowns in eternity, or because of so winning, or because you've participated in advancing kingdom through so willing, and so we said number two, so willing is very important because it attributes or it brings. You rewards in eternity. Number three, with that sow winning is very important because it opens you up to uncommon dimensions of God's power. Fearful men one and twenty of them asked to verse one, locked themselves up in. The opper room. They heard the soundards of a Russian mighty wind. The Holy Goes descended, came upon them, and they went out. The Holy Goes came upon them. We didn't hear anything about power, but they went out. Peter started preaching in at two thirty seven. First Power and a kazu. They were preached in their hearts, and three thousands men were converted by hearing Peter talk, men and brethren, what shall we do to be saved? At chapter four, verse four they preached again. Five thousand was added to the church influence and kay power. At chapter three, verse six, they were going to the place of prayer, they met a man born from bed. Lane Silvan Gold. Have I known such as I have I give you in the name of Jesus, Rise up and walk miracle, walk in power At chapter four, verse starty three. After they beat them, flowed them not to preach, not to win souls anymore, or preach in the name of Jesus. They returned to their company and prayed, and with great power, God gave them witness of the resurrection of Jesus, and great grace was upon them. Everybody who says soau wier is open to a common dimension of God's power. You're studying March sixteen, verse twenty. The moment Jesus told them to preach the gods we know the world is said, and they went, and e said, and the Lord walking with them, confirming the world with signs and wond that's following so he said. The third reason why so winning is very important is because it. Confess on common dimensions of power. Most people who see God's power, I can tell you, yes, they pray, yes the first Yes, they're humble before the Lord. But they are playing charals evangelists commited, even if they have to reach their lives. There are certain powers that you were reading the Bible all your life. You won't see it until you become an extension of God's hands in advancing his kingdom through so winning. And number four I said. The reason so winning is very important is an act of obedience to God's command. The only church God did the great commission. Jesus said in Matthew twenty eight, verse eighteen and twenty all power in heaven and on earth is given to me. Is they go in that power and do what disciple, all nations teaching them all that you have received from me. And he said, low, I'm with you always, even on to the end of the age. So anybody who goes that winning souls is obeying the command Jesus commanded us to do it. We are not doing it because we feel like it. Of course, at some point you will enjoy it, but we are doing it because we are commanded Matthew twenty four to fourteen. This Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the worlds as a witness. After he resurrected and. Left thinking their postus that didn't bite the commandment, Peter suddenly became creative. I go a fishing and let all they decide. What's with him? Man, that's your technicians. Jesus dostart to return from heaven. Its assignment was over, but he knew that his death was about to become useless because the Bible says, how can they believe except that be a preacher? So Jesus would have died for the world. The world. Do you know that the whole world is currently sived legally speaking, because for God's soul loved the world that they gave. It's only be good things on. But it is those who believed that experienced it. So he said, how can they believe except they be a preacher? So if we don't preach, we make the death of Jesus useless. So Jesus had to come back from heaven as a Simon John twenty one fifteen and sixteen. Love best than be more than this. I'm not saying be useless. You can walk, but do you prioritize your job more than the instruction I gave you? Love? Just tell me more than this. And Peter answer, he said, I know us, I love THEE and Jesus sat down to him. If you love me, prove it, feed my lamp winsluls and disciple then and asking that question three times. So it's a commandment we cannot afford to violate. And I told you there are blessings for obedience job. That is the level said. If you obey unserving him, you will live your years in prosperity and all your days in pleasure. If you obey him, his presence will be with you Matthew twenty eighth, verse nineteen. No, I'm with you always when you go discipling the world, even on to the end of the age. So it promises divine presence. It promises divine supplies, and two men, many things to number, I think, John teteen thirty five. Now is the day that keep my commandment. I am My Father shall come and Tabanaco with him. So those who obeg God carry God's presence glory to go. So there are too many benefits for so winning. If you are if your win sauce will be fruitful. Is there any branch that produces seed? Is there the further prunes that they may produce more? But the one that does not is cut off and cast into the fire. So there are too many blessings there, But we picked only four of them and have added truthfulness as reasons for which we must and back on the campaign of so winning. And so I went further to now share with us what to. Do to maintain our passion for souls. And I said, Number one, to maintain your passion for souls, you must remain mindful of the great commission. Every day you wake up, remember that the Lord gave a command that we must win soles. Be mindful. Let it in noun date your thoughts that I'm not just living here for myself. I'm living here because there's an Errand the piple said, who shad declare his generation? The job of salvation has been completed, but. Who should declared? And Jesus told us all of us who are saved will be the ones to declared. So be mindful, be mindful. Pap puts it the clearest way. Whoever is being class Jesus. Second Corinthians five seventeen is a new creature. And this new creature all things. Have passed away. Now for all of these new creatures verse nineteen is that God gave them the ministry of reconciliation. In fact, one of the reasons they gave a pass prophets, evangelist pastors and teachers is to equip every believer for the walk of the ministry. It's not just to equip us to live a healthy life, a glorious life. No, it's the wind souls. And there were those who knew. This thing so much that they prayed that they should be cost if. They don't do it. In First Corinthians nineteen, verse six nine, verse sixteen or seventeen post that whoe onto me if I preached on the gospel. In verse seventies say, for necessity is laid upon me. Whether willfully there will be a reward unwillingly, then. It's a dispensation. I have no choice on the matter. That was the level to which he understood this, And this is what every believe I must know. So we must be mindful of the great commission. If we will maintain our fire and passion for souls. Number two, we must allow ourselves to be inundated by the love of God. If the love of God saturates your heart, then the fire for soul winning will saturate you. Why because it was love that moved God to save us in the first place, the Bible said in Romance five eighth, God commenced his love towards us. That why we were yet seen us. Christ died for us John three sixteen. For God soul loved the world that it gave us only be good in sould, that whosoever believed in him should not perish, but never lasting life. So love is the chiefest motivation for soul winning. So if you want to keep the fire for soul winning, allow the love of God pen needs your spirit. If you have the love of God, you won't be comfortable knowing and seeing people going to hell. Number three, I said we must constantly allow ourselves or engage. In the on the prayer order. The more the fire of prayer increases, the more the fire for soul winning will increase. The Bible said in Romance to Evey eleven. If they be Pathan in spirit, serving the Lord. Not in business, but be favent in spirit serving the Lord. And one of the biggest ways to serve God is in the area of soul winning. So anybody who is favant in spirit would definitely serve the Lord. And if he's serving the Lord, it would be in the area of so winning. And I'm going to show you today as we deal with strategies for sou winning, you'll see the place of prayer and intercession. You can't be a sou wna without being an intercessal. Glory to Jesus. So the fire of prayer is the fire for evangelism. And then number four, I said, you must be full of the world. The reason most of us don't remember winning souls is because we are inundated by our needs, the chaos of this life, some of us the sitfulness of riches. But if you are full of the world, even if you don't want it, the world we charge you to. Jeremiah said in Jeremia twenty verse nine. He didn't want to talk. So you are not the only. Person Duran's that I I will not make mention of him, not pick anymore in his name is say, But his word was in my heart as a burning fire shot up in my bones. When you are full of the world, the word TETs you to winsules. The word pushes you to win soules. It bounds in you to win thaus. So, if you want to have the fire so winning, be full of the world number five as that to be fireful for so winning, you must stay around people who are themselves so winess Hebrews tend twenty four and twenty five. Here what the Bible says is that we should spoil ourselves. Let us consider one another, provoke ourselves onto love and good words. That are people you stay with. When you see what they're doing for God. The will so inspire you that something we rise. Up in you. I've had people inspire me on several occasions who are doing great things for God. I saw it a man of God. He went somewhere, and when he was preaching, suddenly the spirit of faith hitting. He said, you are with a crotch, stand up and start walking. I saw people through crotches and began to move. They tea shoting to me like an arrow. They fed for croaches, stood offing me. From that day I saw myself as able to receive croaches. God now led me to. Two evangelists who were very rock ged in the area of healing, and one thing led to the other. That was not see. Most of the things that happened in my life, I can't tell how it happened. I thought you, I started picking word of knowledge healings. Somebody is on the second row. You have it too. More is gone. When I got married, I. Started sensing he started opening. That was when I knew that marriage brings favor. I now went to meet a man of God somewhere and get it. I preached for him, and I refuse to take on a radio because I don't take on a radio from Elda. He prayed for me. When I left, it looked like the thing we come like picture sometimes, he said, knowing it just now. If I said his precision and then this crotches, that is. It, I thought, the guy, it blows something in me. And God led me to two mighty evangelists. The other one he's like child's play. Even Wikipedia reported that more than fourteen thousand creoples walked in this minis Wikipedia, this is not your media. I chewed those things chew than chow than chewed on the I went for a meeting. I didn't know when I said, bring those crotches here, then the thing we move you, it's a spirit. It will move you. So now when I go for meetings, if I don't see people with crotches, I ask, are you trying to say all these people can be and there are no crotches. I saw it from somewhere. If you clickre the holy goes in you, because it's the same, onlygoes doing it in that person that is in you. So when you see, the spirit wakes up inside you. Because Jesus can sleep in your boat, glory to go. So you want the fire of so many proverbs to any seven seven ion sharp knet ion as a man the countenance of his friend. And then finally, if you want to keep the fire of so many burning in your life, the conscious of etality some of us live for now Jesus already advisors. Don't lay up treasures. We are thieves can break in. We are more and can go into destroy. It's the late treasures in heaven. Paul was speaking in Second Chorenthians four eighteen. If the hy we look not at the things which are seeing, but are the things which are unsleen is that the things that are seen their temporar things that I was seeing. The itnal be mindful when I get to heaven. What would be my reward? People like Paul knew exactly what God will give them. He said, one the crown of righteousness. So this is what they lived for. That was life. Paul. Cause is affliction light between because of so winning shipwreck flog him accorded light affliction because he compared it to the reward God would give him. There was no comparison. This is how to keep the fire of so winning burning in your heart. But the question tonight is how do you win souls? You need to understand practically, in practical tends how to win souls. And that's what I want to share with you this evening. Strategist for so winning that if you engage, you must be productive in winning souls. Number one strategy for so winning is to leave a crime like life. Don't try to tell Jesus about tell people about it Jesus, you don't model. Don't try to tell people about a God that you don't reflect. Then't look at you and be wondering what are you saying? Do you know what you are talking about? So before you preach with words let your life preach first. Believe me, if you model Jesus, you won't talk much before things happen. Remember what Jesus told these disciples. Please look for this scripture for me. What am I forgotten it? Where Jesus says, don't manifest love? Then the world do we know that you are my disciples? Is that? John to tinker? If I find that scripture, now, let me see it. It has escaped my spirit. John four tint before check it for us. So you must model christ likeness. Check all the apostles. This was how they lived in second second chore in terms one elevel. Okay, by this the all men know, not by preaching. By this, the all men know that you are my disciples. If you want have love for one another, they need to see the character of Jesus in you. The Bible said the believers were first god Christians in Antioch. You know what that means. They said they were lit to Christ. They saww their character. Our preaching is loud, but our character has no vollume. This is why we struggle with so Win. I told you my story the first time I joined a church that was aggressive about evangelism, and they went to my area. It would the Bible became. Heavy because people saw me, Ah, you must be a preacher. You'll be you. You would argue, foot go we use here that we fight and in thought ourselves, Who Jesus are you coming here. To hi Ato put my Bible in the antids And he did like the old the old he says. I was hiding the Bibles. But when And I'm not saying you should drum your you know, blow your trumpet. It's not self righteous mess but model Jesus. Second condis one level post that be and minikas of me as I am the minika. Of Christ, follow me as I follow Christ. John speaking of first John, first. Abu is that as he is, so we in this world, even the Holy Ghost, we easily be a witness to your words. Believe me, you want to be effective and so willy A lot of the Holy goes work on you. If you model Jesus, you will be effective. A lot of people keep complaining our territory it's not. Like your place. And will show you a few things. I know that our territories that have peculiarities. And I will show you seven kinds of context that you will find yourself but this is a generary requirements for effective so winning model Jesus, and you will be productive in so winning Number two. Be spirit filled, be spirit led, and be spirit empowered. You study Asks Chapter eight, verse twenty nine to thirty one. You're reading fact from verse twenty six. You begin to it begins to introduce you. You see how Phini met the Ethiopian eunuch. He didn't just be the man. And I'm not saying at every time the Holy Ghost must expressly speak to you. But those why sective is so winning. They are sensitive to promptings, staring, and speakings of the Holy goos. If the Holy Ghost leads you, prompts you, or stands you many times, you will get results. And if you are empowered, because there is a necessity for empowerment Act one eight. Not many days from now you shall receive the Holy good and power. Then you shall be witnesses onto me. They wanted to run out with English Aramaic now because we have some experience. In Look twenty four forty nine, it said tarry until your endured. You need power. To be sective, you need power. This is why you need to be filled with the spirit and submitted to the spirit. In ask fourtaty three that we read is that with great power he gave them witnesses of the resurrection of Jesus, and he said, great grace was upon them. If you study Acts Chapter five, from the twelve to verse fifteen, you're gonna see how the church exploded, how they became effective. He said, by the hands of the. Apostles, when many signs and one that's wrong among the people, and they were all with one accord in Solomon's found Then go to the next verse, and of the rest does no man join himself with them, but the people magnify them. They were in oh at the manifestation of. Power and believers where the more added to the Lord multitudes, both men and women. So women becomes effective when the power of the Holy Ghost is on display. So be spirit led, field, be spirit led, and be spirit empowered. If you want to be an effective So winner number three, youse scriptures and use scriptures as much as possible. There's the place for stories. But I'm telling you why I'm taying this, because the scriptures are. The highest form of inspiration you can have. You study your Bible power speaking in secon Timoty three sixteen sixteen. Particularly in fact, if you read from verse fifteen, let's read fifteen and the and from a child, thou hast known the Holy Scripture which is able to make devices onto salvation verse sixteen. All scriptures are given by the inspiration of God. So when you are using scriptures, you are operating at God's inspirational frequency. So make sure it is clear. That the foundation of your message is the world. Now. Stories can simplify the message, and they are very important. In fact, I'm gonna give you stories as one of the most potent twols to use in evangelism. But any story you use, let it be to open and explain a scripture. The message should not be the story. The story should come to explain the scripture. The story should be used to make the scripture easier to understand. So make sure you use scriptures. And also, in that vein of using scripture, make sure you centralize your evangelical message on Jesus, not your scriptures. If it has to do with so, winning is different from discipleship. You can draw lessons from the life of Moses. You can draw lessons from the life of Nnoch. You can draw lessons from the life of Abraham, and I do it in discipleship and in my general preaching and pitching of the world. But when it has to do with so winning, make sure it is clear to them what to believe. The message is Christ and him crucified. First Corinthians, Chapter one. You read verse twenty three to twenty five. See Paul. He made it classes that what. We preach Christ crucified onto the Jews a stumbling block, onto the Greeks foolishness. But onto them which are called both Jews and Greeks, Christ is what the power of God and the wisdom of God those though salvation we come to it will be powerful. It would be inspirational. So make sure as you are using scripture, you are festifying what they're they're they're fetu ancle. Some people go for so willy and they're all they're talking fasting, they're talking about prayer, they are talking about pounds. So willing is not a message of prayer. So willing is not a message of fascin. So willing is not a message of penance. All of those things can be brought in in decip push it because the openness of the possibilities. So willing is not a message about more, it's not a message about knock, it's not a message about how the act was created. All of those are necessary at some point in discip pushing. But so willing is what Christ and him crucified. If you study acts of their Apostles, Chapter eight, if you read Verst. Eighth and twoelf, you're going to see two different things. When Philip went to Samaria, read from verse five, see the transition from so willing to discipushing. Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria and preach what Christ onto them. Miracle has happened. Verst. Eight is that the city was filled with joy. Philip Non sent to Jerusalem that some Maria has been taken. Then Peter showed up, go to west twelfth three. Philip has migrated from Christ. Now discip pushing. But when they believed Philips preaching the things concerning the Kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. He preached Christ. Then they entered the side puship. He preached the kingdom and the name of Jesus Christ. So there is a place where you are going to introduce the lifestyle of the kingdom, the ways of the kingdom. There is the place for that. But when you are meeting people, make sure you preach Christ to them. Let the foundation be Jesus. They need to know what they are said and cause on past. Summarize it. In First Corinthians fifteen, if you read verse one to verse four, he showed us the whole summary. More of brethren, I declare onto you the gospel which I preach onto you, which also you received, and wherein you stand by which also you are saved by, which also you are saved if you keep in memory what I preach on to you, unless you have what is the message? So I deliver on to you first of all that which I received. How that Christ died for our scenes according to the scriptures. Next verse, and he was buried, and he wrote again the third day according to scripture. So we believe and waste are saved. And we are standing on this message the death, perier and resolution of Christ. This is the summary of the message. So stay with this scripture. Anything you do, let it be to amplify the truth. If you want to be effective in the business and enterprise, of so winning, and of course, finally, make it simple as we are using scriptures. As we are using scripture, make it simple. Second Corinthians eleven, verse three, the Bible said to be careful, said, but I fear less by any means, as the serpent the guide eve through his obtility. Your mind should be corrupted from the simplicity of the gospel. The gospel should be simple so that even a child can believe. Don't go and preach a gospel that somebody needs to have a PhD. In theology to understand. Don't preach a gospel that only those elites can understand. Now there is a place for contextual peculiarities where you meet elites and you have to speak certain. Language, and I'm gonna show you that. But generically, your gospel, if it's so winning enterprise should be very simple. Should reveal Christ's death barrier and resolution, and everything from stories to illustration should be. To amplify the message of Christ. This is the thought. Strategy for effective so winning. Number four strategy for soul winning is prayer. Don't go wining souls just thinking. If I can say it's where, then we get it. In Second Corinthians four, verse three and four. The Bible told us something that there are people whose hearts are blinded that even the Gospel can't move the way. This is where prayer comes in. But if I were gospel. Now remember Romans one sixty says, the gospel of God is what the power of God onto salvation. But it's saying this gospel there are people that it is he from say, if a gospel be here, it is here to them that are lost in whom the God of this world has blinded the minds of them which believe not the less the light of the glorious Gospel, which is the image of the invisible God, should shine on them. So the gospel is powerful the God who says, but you must pray before you go to preach, because there are people that satter has blinded their hearts. That's when we restue them out in intersection. So anybody who does not know how to pray before he preaches may not have so much result in so willed. The Bible said in Isaiah sixty six, verse eight, is that as soon as Thyon they he brought forth her children. There are some that you bring them through the agony of child bed otherwise the God who will hit them and bounce back fast. That in Galatians for seventeen, my lead to children or who might travail again in prayer on take Christ is formed the you chat nineteen for me Galatians four nineteen. I guess my lead to children or who might travail in bed again? That means the first time that they received Christ they pavade before. Now they are beginning to fall away. He's traveling again until Christ is formed in you. The christ formation is in the gospel. But for the Gospel to enter the heart sometimes you need prayer. So if you don't have intercession, you will not be effective. This is why every effective soul winner is uninterucessful. It takes prayer to remove it, to remove the blockage of satan. Glory to God. So you want to be effective and so willing you must savey. Are you see why God rewards so winners. How beautiful are the feet of them that brings blood titles? It is lebel is level praye the Lord of the harvest, that they might send laborers into the feud is label. The major label is in the area of prayer. So when you see people preach and thousands are caught in the heart and they are crying. They are genuinely repenting. Some prayers took places. They were begotten on the order a paperas is one of you Colossians, for towards a bomb. Servant of Jesus saluted the praying fervently for you in it, in standing ferventy for you in prayers. Labor in ferventy for you in prayers, that you might stand perfect and complete in all the will of God. Number five, You want to be effective governer. An effective governer, you must be full of compassion. It has compassion to reach the lost. You read John four seven to twenty six. Jesus is interaction with the Samaritan woman. You are going to sense a lot of compassion and meekness. If you don't love the people, you may not be able to reach their hearts. So I know sometimes we call so we need a project, But don't go out like you are doing a project. You have targets, and these are not keigos. We may number the souls on in the likeness of numerous figures, but they are not figures. So when you approach them, don't approve them as number. Some of us go out. All we want to do is just to counteracty heads. And there are some who do I move fear God. Two people get their hat to criss they came. They say, from what we saw this is like twenty. It's not figus. This is not a game of numbers. These are souls that if not safe, we go to heir. So you must stay with God to give you compassion. Most of you read the story of John Knox. It is your knocks down, give me Scotland Dough I die. That's what it takes to be a soul winner. And most of the people who are intercessors and compassion and saw winners. When they win souls, most of them remain strong. Did they leave this world. They hardly fall by the wayside, because it's not an emotional decision. It's a decision rooted in the spirit. Number six. You ought to be honest efective, So winner. You must develop your capacity to be ready to give a reason to anyone who wants to know their justification for why he. Needs to give this After Christ first Bitter three fifteen, develop yourself. As I show you context, you will see there are certain contexts where you meet religious folks. There are contests where you meet elist. You must be ready to give a reason. Every effective soul winner is ready. I read some of the chronicles of Bunkey and watch some of his slips. Somebody attacked him and said, God, this is not really. If God is really why they have work in the world everywhere, don't preach this your Jesus words. Really, if it's really, why is there even on it? And they have? Donkey said, where they are no barbers on it? The guys who, of course they are babas. There's a salon there. It's like their babas. Why people canting bushy hair? I've seen people with bushy hair. If they are bush here messia no barbers. The guys say, well, they didn't go to cut their hair. He said, that's why we get to pree to you. If people don't believe they can't be saved you you need certain level now that the Holy goost inspirary. But you have to be developed. See the word Peter put it God. Sanctify the Lord Jesus in your heart, and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asks you a reasoning of the hope that is in you. And do it with meekness and fear. This is a foundation a scripture for apologetics. Develop yourself. If they want justification, give it to them. Let them know you're not just the religious. By God. You can explain your faith with compelling evidences the gods. There is the level you get to. You will talk to kings. When post stood before Agrippa, the guy head boys say, KI, take this man from me. Do more knowledge has made you mad? He maled what kind of intelligence? Disease? So that when you leave, if they don't repent, it's not because you didn't give enough evidence. It's because they chose not to. And when they are condemned it to be just Jesus said in John three seventeen. This is the condemnation. It's a light has come into the world, but the people choose darkness. When you leave, Let's I be on record that this is all light. They just rejected it because they love darkness. Glory to God. Number seven. When you are in so we need campaign. Don't stop until they are baptized in the Holygos and they are planted in the church. Because so willy is supposed to be followed up with discipleship. Because so winning is like giving back to a child. You don't give back to a child, and you say a conception is over and you leave the hospital. No, when a child is born, a child is built up. So ensure that they are baptized in the spirit. You study Acts nineteen, verse one to six. They want some souls and left them, and. Paul colied that with them. It came to pass that why Apollos was at Corinth. Paul, having passed through the upper coast, came to Ephisos find these in disciples. Here was past question. He said on to them, have you received the Holy Ghost since you believed? And the people said, we have not as much as head whether there be any holy ghost? And here follow up question, and it's not on to them, on to what then were you baptized? And they said, on too John's baptism. No, no, no, there's more than John's baptism. John's baptistm was to prepare people for Jesus. Now that Jesus has come, you'll need to be baptized in the Holy Ghost so that life will enter you and then you'll be empowered to represent Jesus. Then said Paul, John verily baptized. The baptism of repentance to the people that they should believe on him, we should come after him, that is Christ. So he prepared The way is that when they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. And verse nineteen Paul laid hands on them, and the holy gooes came on them. And respect with tongues and prophesied. Make sure they are baptized, and make sure they are added to a church so that they are discipled. At two forty seven, they continued daily praising God and the Lord add deed to the church daily. Such as should be said. This is an equipping ground. So anyone you can take to a church. Take the person to a Bible believing church, let them disciple them. When you do this, a soul will be saved and established. This is the basic Biblical strategy for effective soul willing. Now, there are some unique and peculiar contexts that requires settin edges are dead to tweak and sharpen the effect of your message to be an effective Shaw winner, and that I few of those contexts. I just want to list few of them now and. Show you certain peculiarities and things which you take note off as you go about so winning. Number One, highly secular societies. When you got to preach in a secular society, the way you will preach will be different from when you got to preach in the word town zone. And it will be different from the way you will preach in a remote village. The message is the same, but there are settin strategies consciousness required to make you effective. Hope, you know, if you got to preach in Ukraine now, it will be different from the way you preach if you're in America, and it will be different from the way you preach if you're in Bolcino Fassil. You must be sensitive about peculiarities in territories. And the first peculiarity as territories that are highly circular. What's their problem? Number one they have a party towards religion. They hate anything that is religious. Number two. They are people who are relative in their thinking, so you find relativisy. They don't believe in absolute truth or absolute error, so you can't just say Jesus is the way. They say, come on, brother, oh can God create the whole world? That make only one way? They want you to give relative context. Number Three, they are given to intellectuals kepticism. They are intellectuals kept Anything you say, I had one talking to the other, is there whatever you believe, you don't know because you can't know something and believe at the same time, if you know something, you don't need to believe it, and if you believe in something, it means you don't know it. So how can you say you know Jesus yet you believe in him? Is that? Do you believe in your father? He said, no, I know my father. Of course, if you know something, you don't need to believe in and looked, I shook my head. They are intellectuals, so they come with debates. You know that knowledge of God is not cognitive knowledge. It's experienceial knowledge. So when we say no Jesus, we are saying experience Jesus. So they are. But I mean, I'm not going into those details now. But this is to show you that you will find yourself in such a context, highly circular context. They love pleasure, so they're looking for reasons why they won't be taken away from it. So if you come to this kind of context, there are a few things that you must add to your enterprise of so many. Number one you must use apologetics and reasonable dialogue. So when you are preaching, your message should be filled with rhetorical questions and answers. Ask questions that you don't need them to answer, You answer it to yourself. So you are going to help open their minds when you become apologetic. That's what you do in a circular society. Number two, when you are in a circular society, you need to engage acts of service. Show them the relevants of your gospel. In a secondlar society, you don't just go preach and walk away. You have to show them that this gospel is relevant. You meet somebody in American start adding him about Jesus. What do I need him for? So you can't go there just with breakthrough. Breakthrough. Now you need to teach him. You need to find out the challenge of his context and show him the relevance of the gospel. These are societies where they don't have two relationships. These are societies where their problem is loneliness, vulnerability around the area of emotions. These are societies where there's a vacuum in their soul they're looking for. You need to find how to enter into those loopholes and show them the relevance of the gospel. So it's a gospel that comes with applications and if necessary services you render service, services of kindness, services of love, services of patience. Some of them will hear you more when you show them kindness or love or trustworthiness than five years of messages. Number three. That's why you see our brethren, who are you know here? You can just on the street. If you don't repent, you'll go to her. That one won't walk in the United Kingdom, It won't work in America? Are you following? So you have to show applicability relevance. Number three. You have to also show them about the blessedness of community that God can give you true genuine community or family. That in the Kingdom there is also a family context. Because these are lonely people. Believe me, they are very vulnerable. That's why most of them are either robotic or connected to the beach. On was face moderan. That's face moderan. The natural very robotic society. You can live in this house and you don't know your next door neighbor, but you are neighbors for ten years. Everybody is just minding his business. Meanwhile, we Dean. There is loneliness, there's vulnerability when you begin to open them up to the family aspects of the god'el hope, he makes them. That's why in such context evangelism is effective. When you go in groups, they want to seek community life where they can find SOULI find true relationship. This is sound of the problem of peculiar circular societies. And then number four, avoid religious jagons. That's not a place to go and start. Talking about potters, about ranking angels. Don't look at you. Get out of here. Somebody is enjoying if preparing for your night's club to go and have his phone. Hey, you are talking. Hey, in the days of Noah and fire, red. Came from heaven and fire came in the days of Elijah. What is Elijah? Who is Noah? Oh? God, don't have time? What are you talking about? Avoid religious jago don't talk to the pepy and start talking about. The theology and the epistemology of the deity. Of guys. They they don't have time. Not why I give that is not enough to have fire. Understand your context. If you start with leidiosity, they'll just say no. Then they will leave you. So why you have the generic requirements under term peculiarity number two. I'm rounding up my time is finished, Emnitic society, society of the wealthy, those who feel You know, I was studying Mathlos your Mauthlos pyramid of needs, and you know at the top you have the biggest need of man is self actualization. At the lowest, wrong you have things like food. Security. That's why beggar can sleep under the bridge. If that guy is not troubled with somebody, you don't break the heart of a beggar. It's why you have enough food and security. In fact, no food, first, clothing and shelter. That's the lowest. When you have food and clothes, that's why you can think of security. Then when you have security, that's when you talk about feelings. So the guy who is hungry, who doesn't have what you wear, it's not bother. Whether they are am robbers. All of them will slip under the bridge and go. Even the ambrobber doesn't care about him. But the moment you have food and. Clothes, you'll become careful. We are to hide your head. So security comes in. When you not have security, you start wondering. A mind A handsome. Now feelings comes, why you not have feelings? Emotions is dealt with. Then you start talking about honor antignity. Why did they not agree with me when. I came here? Why your count that you can't intermediate me? Who told you can't immediate me? Now, it's because you have food, you have security. Emotion is dealthy. That's why you remember that there's such a thing called honor. Then when you read that level, you start talking achievements, self. Actualization, a beauty company that is walking. I have a name in this society, you know. So when when you are dealing with the elites, they have moved from food and clothes, they have moved from security, they have moved from emotional issues. They have moved from a matter of honor. They buy honor with their money. What their concern is self actualization. So your gospel must deal with something that they can't buy or build. So when you are dealing with certain people, you deal with matters of eternity, the end of the soul. There's such a place, you know, when the rich man came to Jesus. Jesus told the gods the law you have come. We're talking something that's more the money You need to show them the things that money cannot buy. So you start talking to them about matters of eternity. Where will your soul go toward the end of time? Have you contemplated it? Because there's no scholar that has studied the world to come, only the one who came back from there told us about it. Have you contemplated or possibilities? So when you are dealing with the elits, the bourgeos of society, the approach is different. First Corinthians, all right, no, I won't call scriptures. Let me just show you. I'll show you what to do. Number one, show intellectual coherence. Not talk to them like a novice. Talk to them like somebody who is well informed. Because when you start talking, the one to find out. Who are you? What have you achieved? Your can't advice mesa. So they were you from your apearances and from your communication. So you need to talk like somebody who knows what he is saying. So they must be coherence in communicating your conviction. I'm not saying be all sophisticated, but be coherent. They need to know you know what you're doing, because these are people who have proven knowledge. They are bid systems. From what they do, so you can't talk to them without conviction and coherence. Number two, when. You are dealing with these people, you have to leverage on historical facts and philosophical foundations. You need to show them that Jesus has a pedigree that history has verified, so his words can be trusted. And you need to let them know that Jesus is wiser than whichever wisdom that they have subscribed to. This is why you get the attention. This is why were these people only come to white people. If you are passionate, they may just assume that you don't. Have a work while you're bunny what your cap fire. They may say, it's not busy, it has. Time, it's energetic all. They may say he's hungry, he's trying to make impression. They will just ignore you. But when you talk God chess solo man's life now, kings of nations came to him. They want to sit down to hear his wisdom. So when you're talking to it's not just about shoutow. You have to show them wisdom. You have to show conviction and coherence in communication. They are not moved by your volume. They are moved by this really talking to you. Is it wise that the one who instructed us, if it wise enough for us to commit our lives and the security of our eternal future. These are the things they're looking for. So show them matters that are superior to what they have, beauty their foundation on. This is why the Bible said a man's value is more than the multitude of his possession. Let them know there's the word to come. Let them know about Jesus, who he is and how he demonstrated excellence in every realm of life. You need to show them principles, wisdoms of scripture. That's what they will respect. That's the lights they want to see. And then when you communicate to these people, you must be respectful. Your communications should not suggest arrogance, and it's to not be too dramatic. It will look as if there's no substance in what you are saying, so you are trying to hide it, either in your arrogance or your dramatization. That's why this guy. Sometimes they want to listen to dialogue. Convince me, what do you know? Most times it's a communication. You think, why did Nicole Demos come to Jesus at night? We see all the miracles you do. We know you came from God. Dot come what the substance of this thing? Are saying? And see the way Jesus. Communicated him, Servet, a man be born again? He can't see the kingdom of God. The guy god confused. How can an old man enter his mother's womb and be born? What do you mean, Jesus? You say you're a teacher of the law, you are leader in society, and you don't know these things? These are the basic things. A guy humble himself. Talk to me? What was I know? I let the man be born of water? And this felit? What one is water? And feed it? What are you saying as the wind blow it? That lists not from when they comments, oh where it go? So I there that a b Sir, hurt me, hurt me? I am, but thy child, don't go. Don't go there unprepared God, there be a fact. Will be humble for carry Wisdomsir, be deep to address these people, because these are deep thinkers. These are people who have proven knowledge. Otherwise your mission on enterprise within narrow and parochia. You're the only with a few people for God deserving the whole world. Ah our time is spent, not me least the rest. Go and do your study. You have the holy goes through. Number three are wart regions like you have going on in Iran, like you have going on in Ukraine. When you go to short places to print the gospel, you know their needs are different. In such region, people are in trauma, that is instability, that is, there is fight for survivor, there are lack of walking institutions. So when you go to such region to print the gospel, begin with practical aid. Go with food first, carry clothes there. Don't go with a message. Show the practicality of the gospel. Take food to them, take healthcare, take clothing. That's how you pree to sort people because they are traumatized. And then your message must be full of hope and healing. That's not a place where you go start telling the people. Look at you, this is your own city of Christianity. You will go to hair, go to hair, but already hairs. Which hair are you talking about? This is hair? No, when you go go with healing, go. With hope, otherwise you can't get the attention. These are traumatized people. Emphasize God's presence in the midst of suffering. So that they can build conviction. This is how you become. When I went to preach in Pakistan, I wasn't talking about Angelican. Cities or potters, oh her. No, we talked about God is with you. The presence of God is eitana. Even if you go to the value of the shadow of death, fear no evil. That's where it is who are saying, call. Upon the Lord in the day of trouble. If your government fails you Jesus never fails of what they are looking for, then you can get them to accept Christ. Then you can dislike put them eventually. So when you go there, off for practical help and aid, sell hope and healing, emphasize God's presence and then build trust because they want to see whether you are reliable so that they can believe in your God. You know the story of Mahatma Gandhi came to South. Africa during his exile and they were doing aggregation appartheid. He said, no, I read your Bible or I believe Jesus. If I didn't meet a Christian, we already been segregated by the Western world and oppressed. Pleas your God, you are talking to me about see your presence. People in this house, we don't need him. Then you have religious context where you meet people who before you talk, they say, how old are you? I have fasted now for. Nineteen sixty eight, forty nine years. I've been fasting for forty nine years. In the last seventeen years, I pray for four hours every day, and at night I also pray for two hours and then yes, in eight years, I've given forty percent of all my income. Now what are you saying. You will know you don't have a meslature religious environment. You will find them from Buddhist to Hinduist to Islamic people. They will tell you. So you don't go there and start with consecration the power fasting. Those words, how old are you? You are thirty five, have been fasting for sixty years. You don't know what you're saying. So when you go to third places, stare on the grace of God. No man can be saved by his own walks. You don't know the schemes of evangelism. The glory of a religious. Man is penance and walks. They don't They don't know the difference between work inspired by the Holygol and walk inspired by the flesh, so. He takes pride in walks. So when you go to certain people, you need to be very careful to emphasize the grace of God. And then you must be careful not to be judgmentor you always shut the door if you become judgmentor don't show him what you believe is superior to his. Just deliberate dialogue and show what you believe with conviction, and a lot of the Holy goes walk on them. If they're notice. And then any elements you know this our gospel that we preach. We must be. Careful because these are people who slowly self righteousness. If you go to them and you want to show that you have walks, they will intimidate you if you want to be judgmentor they will shut the door against you because they believe they are perfect based. On what they have done. So dwell on the grace of God. Be very respectful in your communications, and if possible, use a lot of stories pariboles to communicate the truth of the scripture. For hard time, I would have shown you asked thirteen and fourteen. You see this key of Paul. Remember ask seventeen at nineteen when power was in Athens. These guys were full of religion. He showed up. They have all the gods that existed. They have studied and known them. And because they know they know all. The God, they're not elected an author for the unknown God. In case there's anyone we don't know, let this one represent him. So any one you start. They are scholars. In fact, on the daily babies they gather to argue truth and with them. When Paul showed up, he made it simple. He respected them and even began from their philosophy. He said, this God that you call or Noon, that's the one I came with, and then put that their poet, one of your poets, said. That in him, we live in him, we move in him, we have a being. And God cannot be reduced to the image of things. If he created all things. It was routing what they already know in the simplicity of stories, parables, poetry. At the end of the day, he directed them to Jesus, how did you land up in the days of ignorance? God overlooks, But now he commands all men to repent and come to the knowledge of the truth. So you must be skillful. Evangelis really quires kill. You're gonna meet people who are secular. They're gonna meet people who are elity. They're gonna meet. People who are war on war damaged. You're gonna meet people who are highly religious. You can't use one approach. You muststand the context. I wish I had time to read biblical examples. And then you are gonna meet youth and digital communities, the gen zs and the gen alphas. You know their biggest problem. They are highly. Distructed, they are highly skeptical, the attention span is very low, and they are deeply influenced by Internet jagon. When you are dealing with these people. Better make your point first, because if you cross these two minutes, you have lost them. Why are you got twenty minutes later they say, what did you say? Is? You know when they're here, they'll be convicted. So when you are dealing with gen zs gen alphas, make sure. That your point is articulated as much as possible in a very short timeline. Because the attention span is low. Number two, make sure your message is very intense. They must be energy to arrest them. Number three, make sure your message is captivating. Dig into their curiosity. You know sometimes when we pretty here. I know that, madam, fifty percent of my audience. I you ever. People look at you and say you're telling stories. They look at you, they say, why are you so always hot? I'm not talking to eighty year old people, talking to people that when. They hear my voice, even if. They are they are there browsing the tongue, they must recognize that I spoke. And in five minutes, what they will hear me say they my daughter have heard it in tells. They will wonder. Well, that's why sometimes we enter science, we enter history, we enter everything. I'm pretty here. Sometimes I enti erodynamics. I'm talking to them about aircraft. But at the end of the day, you direct them to scripture. You hear our message is here. There's no message you preach. I don't put more than fifty scriptures. So we are we are, we are. We are not storytellers, but we use story as a weapon because we know our audience. These are people we shot attention, distracted, skeptical people, so we use energy to arrest them. We use intelligence to arrest them. We communicate so much in short time, don't get the attention, even the message. We still break them down to clips until we break the clips down to reeves. So there are some that is one minute. But when you hear it something we paying your heart because there is a youth community. Now this doesn't mean you want down the standard. No, that won't be compromised. The fire. We'll still be there, but you must be sensity to be our needs. Then there are those who are incarcerated. In incarcerated like prisoners, those rehabilitation centers. When you go there, you need to recognize that these are people full of guilt, full of trauma, people who are hoping for freedom. Because they are bound with hopelessness. That's the way you approach them. When I went to preach at the prison, if I told them the story of Joseph, your message. Must come with hope. Your emphasize forgiveness because they are guilty people struggling with guilt. They are bound people to think God for freedom. So you must come with forgiveness. You must come with hope, and then you must also create a system of continuous empowerment. That's why we take tracks Bibles there. And then you also show them real love. When you go there, you bring resources so that they can trust you. Because this before. Becomes skeptical about the ouside world. Most of them believe nobody cares. So you need to understand this. These are some of the peculiarities if you must be effective in evangelism. And then finally, there are people in rural areas. Who are bound by. Cultural belief systems and poverty. So when you go to such places, the conscious of low literacy, the conscious. Of traditions, the conscious of these things. In communicating the gospel, don't go to the village and start talking Queen's English. If you can't come down to their level, get an interpreter. The needles level with snow. You must be mindful. And then when you are talking to them, you must be careful first not to undermine their culture. But you need to show them. Now that there is more liberty in Christ than any culture can offer, because most of. Them are already struggling with the bondage. So get to their hearts by simplifying your message. Use stories to get their attention. Sell them hope that is superior to work their cultures offer. They hope that is in the gospel. Some of them they've killed their children because there they say, if you have twins, it's a bungee. Some of them have been forced to give them from produce to appease gods. So they need to hear something that would truly bring them out of bondage. So you must be deliberate about it. This is how to preach the gospel. There are generic strategies, but there are also peculiar strategies for specific context. Every evangelist who is effective in so winning is very discerning when he enters any territory. He can break the same message for thirty years in. Seven different contexts. You will here same message, but they will all be different because it's speaking to different people. And if you'll be effective in the enterprise of evangelism, you must develop this level of flexibility. This is how the enterprise of so winning is done. You can do it as an individual, you can do it in groups, and then you can do it via mass media what we call crusades. Whichever one you have the power to route route it. But remember these principles have shared with you. They are the things that make you effective. If evangelism is important to you, and if it's something you want to undertake, bow your hairt let's bring hello him. I don't know Hello him. I don't know.
