Tonight I want to share with us on a very sensitive topic that's dear to my heart. I want to deal with the subject of so winning, and particularly I want to address a sensitive aspect of so winning, which is sustaining your passion for the lost. Sustaining your passion for the lost. There's so much I want to share this evening, and so I'm trusting God to keep the temple very calm, so I can explain if you scriptures and also give you an outline. Is that somewhere, how are you doing? Good to see you, the younger person doing great things around the world, God bless you. Good to have you. Can we celebrating apostle somewhere? Penny, You're welcome, Glory to go And so tonight there's so much to do, and I want to take it precept upon precept, lines upon lines. But my emphasis is to show us if you nuggets from scriptures that will help us sustain our passion for souls in this kingdom. You must be very careful to understand the things that matter to God, because these are the things that gives value to all we do. If we remove the things that matter to God, what we are doing will end up becoming religious regods that have no value where it matters. I've taught you many times, amongst other things, three things that are very cardinal in kingdom engagement and kingdom service is number one. The knowledge of God, the experience of God. Jesus was speaking in John seventeen vers Three, and he said, this is life eternal, that you may know him, the only true God. And Jesus Christ is only begottings on whom He has sent. And so anything you are doing in this kingdom that does not resort in intimacy with God, bething experiential knowledge of God will amount to a waste at the end of time. In John first John Chatter one from Best one to two, the apostle was speaking. He said that which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the world of life. He said, that is what we have come to commit to you, that you may have fellowship with us. And he said, truly, our fellowship is with the Father. Why are they having this fellowship with the Father? Because the life was made manifest and said we have seen him and we can therefore testify about him. And so whatever we do in this Kingdom that does not result in growing in our knowledge of God, which is an experiential knowledge, is a wasted effort. This is why, from prayer to worship to giving, all of these things are designed to help you know God more. And that's why every kingdom activity must be summarized and routed into the path way of intimacy with God. If you don't know Him, if you are not submitted to His government through experiential interaction with Him, your work is the wist. Number two, what is cardinal to the Father is worship. He said in John four twenty three and twenty four that there are a group of people that God is seeking. He said they are those who worship Him in spirit and in truth. Is that the Father's ticket starts to worship him. So God is looking for worshippers. And I've told you before that worship is not a song. I told you worship is the disposition of the heart that begins with adoration and love for God, but transcends that into you deadness, to the dictates of the spirit of God. So a man dear force submitting to the desires of God, not the cause is compelled to but because he has so much adoration for God, and his greatest pursuit in life is to please him that he loves. This is why the first time the word worship was used in Genesis twenty two, verse five, Abraham was going to satrifice Isaac, which was the song he desired for a very long period of time. When God demanded for Isaac, Abraham revealed to us that his love for God was superior to anything, and so, without being compelled early in the morning Genesis twenty two, one to five, Abraham hurried, carried the young lad and went to the mountains of Moriah to sacrifice Isaac to the Lord. So it was an adoration that resulted in total submission to the will of God. It is this channel of worship that makes it possible for the Kingdom of God to find expression in our fairs of contact or our respective pairs of existence. Anybody who does not love God and not to submit to the dictates of his spirit cannot establish God's kingdom because the Kingdom of God is a realm of life. It's not just a realm of rules and regulation. The Kingdom of God is a realm of life. It powers you from within and as you interact with that life. It triggers an affection for God, but ultimately it breaks you from the inside, makes you submit to God so that God can flow through you. And in flowing through you, but his will, his wisdom, and his authority begins to manifest through you. Then and only then can you colonize your fare. Otherwise you will be an orator saying a lot of things, yet not establishing government. If you study towards the end of Jesus' ministry in Gettmany, we saw Jesus surrender this will for the will of the Father. He clearly stated it that it was not his will to die. He say, if it were possible, let this God pass me by. He say, yet, not my will, but dying. So if you have not come to that point in life where you are willing to submit your desires, submit your interests, submit your will for the will of God to find ess as a testimony of your love for God, you are not going to be so relevant in God's kingdom. Po was thinking in second Chorenthians five, verse fourteen and fifteen, is that the love of God constrain at us. And there for we dog George that if one died for all. They that leaves no longer live for themselves, but they live for Him who die for them. So it's a love that compels compliance, that compels submission, so that through it the government of God can be made manifest. So the second thing that is very paramount in the realm of God is the quality of your worship. You can vent let your affection for God through singing, through worship, you can vent let you affection for God through talking to him, but ultimately that affection will be revealed when that love begins to constrain you to surrender to his interest. That is the second thing that matters to God. Taught in the matters to God, which is also very paramount, is for us to become an extension of him so that through us he can be seen. Is for us to become an outstretched arm of his government. You know when He created man Genesis one twenty six, is that God said, let us make man in our own image after our likeness, let them have dominion. So God wanted his invincible kingdom to be made manifest in the visible realm. But the instrumentality, the system through which God wants to make that happen, it's not for him to jump out of the silly raam and come into the ed realm. No, he created us as the interface between him and this realm, so that we are the ones who draw from him and transfer to this realm. So the ability to extend the frontiers of his kingdom is a paramount reality in this realm. Jesus teaching us to pray in much of the skis western cutting out. In that prayer, Thy Kingdom, Come Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Thy Kingdom, Come Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. So everyone, of course, one way or the other, must become an outstretched arm of God. And if you want to understand what the Kingdom of God is is simple. It is the life force of God that manifests in the likeness of his will, his wisdom, and his authority. Any Way, the Kingdom of God is that work his life and eMates that system. And if it's life and hemates that system, his will will be established. Nothing contravens his will, His wisdom powers that system, and his authority will be made manifest. This is why one of the ways you see God's kingdom manifest is when demons are cast out because that life cannot support their existence. And when that will come, that kingdom that life comes. Because Certan is against God's well, he has to be expelled, because this wisdom is not God's wisdom. He has to be stopped. And what stops him ultimately is the authority of God. But all of this flows from the life of God. So you must ask a mortal man working on earth with the hope of eternity, begin to pattern your life in such a way that you grow to know God by experience. Every day, there are many Christians that all they know about God is what one pastor told them. They've never had an experience with God? Is that that which was from the beginning we heard, we saw, we looked upon, but a point came we handled. You must pattern your life to that point where you too can do God. You must pattern your life. Structure your life in a way that a touched on for God keeps growing, and it grows to a point where you are broken and you dead to His authority. If you keep rebelling to God's government, your life won't count much. I told you last week. At the end of time, two things will matter. When you look back. It's for human when you look forward, it's the reward. If you read that junction where you transit from time to eternity, when you look back and you don't find for human eternity to become a comment before you go there. And if you eventually step into eternity and you don't have the reward, you will discover that what was given to you called life, you wish said it. But for that to happen, government must find expression through you. You must be an outstretched on that advances God's government. And if you study the subject of a establishing God's government and God's dominion, cardinal in that subject is the place of man in God. That's why when he wanted to bring his government to the act, the only team Bible records that he did was that he created man, because man is supposed to be the government of God personified, so that everywhere he steps into that government is established. And this is why. Certain they didn't attack the galaxies, Certain they didn't attack the trees, Certain they didn't attack weather, Certain they didn't attack animals. All of those things are kept in place it man is standing, and if man is approoted all of those things before is that I've said unto you some eighty two, verse five and six. We are gods because you are the children of the most is there. But you will fall like one of the princes. Is the why because they know not need that. What they understand because they failed, is the all the foundation of the head is out of course. So when you remove man from God's equation, you have affected weather. When you remove man, you have affected the animal kingdom. When you remove man, you have affected climate. Every prince catast if man is not in place. This is why he said in Romance eg. Seventine. The end nest expectation of the creation is that he waited for the manifestation of the sons of God. So certain start did God's ecosystem carefully, and it discovered what holds the balance is man's rights panding with God. If I remove man, the balance will be altered. And God affirmed it. And so when man was removed through it happened. And when God showed up, he didn't come to save animals. When he showed up, he didn't come to save weather. You will never hear Jesus talking about redeeming weather. Never hear Jesus talking about Redeman animals. He didn't come to revide nature. All of those things are secondary. What sentence shock is what establishes the balance in the realm. So when Jesus came, his focus was to save man. If I save man, I save creation, and the Kingdom of God can be established. So the Bible, speaking in Look nineteen, verse ten, is that the son of Man comments to seek and to save the lost. My business is with man. If I save man, everything will be arrested, everything will be corrected, everything will be done. But you see the beautiful part of this. Jesus didn't stay on earth until every man is born and dies to ensure that he saved man. He came in the likeness of man so that when he initiates the process, he will hand it over to us so that we can continue not doing it because the business is actually our business. His job was to pay the price so that every man on it is potentially saved. The Bible said in John thirty sixteen, for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten sould, that whosoever believed in him should not perish, but however last in life. So by implication, the death of Jesus saved the whole world. He saved the entirety of humanity. But the thing is, you have to hear and believe to experience that salvation. You know what Jesus did when he paid that price and was sure that every man on it has been said, based on that price, he now handed the responsibility of telling ourselves to us that salvation has come. If you only believe in Jesus, you will have it. This is the solution of this world. This is the solution of this realm. This is the answer to the crisis of the whole world. Jesus has come, he has paid for it. But the death of Jesus will be useless if we don't tell the world that it has been paid. This is why the subject of so winning becomes one of the most critical aspects of kingdom advancement. Because Jesus accept the whole world. But for the whole world to experience salvation, the whole world must be called. The whole world must believe. The Bible said, how can they believe? Accept there is a preacher? How can they preach? Accept they be sent? So everybody has to go out there to preach. So that salvation that has been made available can be received. This is why the business of soul winning is not for few people, for every one of us. In Second Corinthians five nineteen, the Bible said to with God was in Christ reconciling the war to himself, not impuilting their trespasses upon them, but to give them who are they them all that have been saved, the ward or the ministry of reconciliation. He has sped the price, but he has mandated you and I to tell the world because this is the most critical aspect of his kingdom. And if you don't advance God's kingdom, if you are not an outstretched arm of God in advancing his kingdom, your existence is useless. So you must be part of kingdom advancement. And the most critiqual way to be part of kingdom advancement is to become part of those who communicate the message so that the ward will realize it. But guess what, it's so unfortunate that many believers have not yet atwocomed to the origent need of letting the world know that the Savior has come, that the Savior has died, that the Savior has reasen, and that our version has been made available, they are zoom. That job is for evangelists. The job of soul willing is not primarily for evangelists. The job of so willing is primarily for every believer, the evangelist inclusive the Bible speaking in the visions for a level is said to some, he gave to be apostles. To some, he gave to be prophets, to some, he gave to be evangelists. To some, he gave to be pastors and teachers. What is the assignment for the equipping of the saints for the work of the ministry. So it is the sense that win souls. The job of the evangelists and the fivefold is to train and equip the things for the work of the ministry. So if you are here and you are not yet actively involved in the business of soul winning, you are taking a big risk because one of the three things that makes life relevant has not yet been activated in your life. In case you know God, in case you worship God, but you are not advancing God's kingdom, you are taking a big risk. These three things must be complete in your life. Advance God's kingdom, worship God, and know Him by experience. This is why you are key here. The reason you are not carning to heaven the day you gave your heart to Christ is because there is a path for you to play, and you're most awakening to that part. If at the end of your so John, you will look back and be fulfilled and look forward to get the word very quickly tonight, I want to share four things. Number one, what's the value of a soul to God? Why does God take this business of soul so important? The Bible said in Romance eight thirty two. If He did not with old his only begotten son, but gave him freely for us, how shall he not with him give us all things? Some adverse four is the what is man that thou art mindful of him? Or there's one of man that thou did visit him? You're made him a little lower than the Elohim. You crown him with glory and honor. What is it about this man? If you don't understand the value of a soul before God, you will treve It's important for every believer to be acquainted and to begin to see every tho how God sees them. Otherwise the business of soul winning will still be trivialized. We are in the month of June. You'll be shocked that there are some people who have been bothering heaven since January for a need to be met, who have not one one who and if nothing is done then will read December to the first, leave their hands off and be thanking God for a glorious year, whereas there's not one soul to their record. So all they are meant to them are the selfish needs. That they had. They never partook in doing anything in the year that matter to God, and yet they call it a great year. Why are souls so important to God? Give you four reasons quickly. Number one, souls are important to God because every soul is a peerer of God's image. When God looks at his soul, he looks at himself. So invariably, when God tells you to go out and win souls, he's telling you to go and win his image. He's telling you to go and secure his image from going to her. Paul was tchinous. If that's Coritians the level I think verse nine now he said, man is the glory of God. When God sees you, he sees himself. He encodeed his image into you. That's why it is a desperate thing for God to save a soul. He cannot have thought for any soul to go to Hell is to him like his image perishing in hell. I've caught that for you already, this one to desist. Let us make man in our image after our likeness. So God, this is soul as a reflection of his image. That's why souls are very important to God. And that's why souls dost become important to you. If God means anything to you, the way you will show it is by rescuing every image of God from going to hell. Number two. Why our souls so important to God? Because souls are eternal. There are few things God created that have eternal implications. In fact, you can list them on one hand, the fingers on one hand you can count, and souls are one of them. Not everything God created, this Eitanna. There are things that perish, they end, they finish, But a soul was created to be an eternal reality. So when God was creating this soul, he invested. He turned out DNA into the soul. This is why souls are important to go. When a soul dies, he says, this tense does not end he only transmits or translates into another dispensation, a dispensation of eternal separation from God, and he hopes God deeply to have such a wist. If you have been an inventor before, it will make a little sense for you to you. But even if you are not an inventor, maybe if you spend your money and buy something that is very precious to you. I don't know what that may be. For some is jewelries. There are people that they see diamond, their whole body begins to shake. For some is cars. There are people that when they see settling cars, they literally with that they could kill to get it. There are people that is watching. There are people that is to sit with certain people in certain places. Now, imagine for a second the most precious thing to you if you can capture it, and then you got it finally, and upon getting it it is shredded and destroyed. Imagine the egg that will be to you. One of the most precious thing to God is the soul, because it's an eternal investment. This is why God doesn't want it to perish, because even when he perishes, it can be destroyed. It will only be separator from God. So God will be deprived of having the commune and communion that it intends to have with the soul for all eternity. Remember the Bible speaking, They told me that two verse nine is that the lost fortune is these people. Is that Jacob is my inheritance. So what God has created for himself to give him pleasure and to live with him for all eternity is the soul. So when the soul is lost, something prescious is tolen from God. In fact, Ecclesiastes chapter three, verse eleven tells us that God has put eternity in our hearts, so we have an investment that is eternal. That's why we are so important to God. I'm showing you why souls that hold very high value before the Lord, and why you should value them. Here we celebrate thaws every week. We announced the number of souls one. We dance and celebrate, and we are not the only one who wants to do it. The Bible said, for every soul that repents, there is great joy and rejoicing before the presence of the Lord. That's how important it is. One soul can through heaven to a party, one soul can create jubilation in the whole of heaven. That's how valuable it is to God. Why are souls important to God? Number three? God evaluates souls and equates it to his blood. The Bible speaking, is the word sadly profit a man if he gains the whole world and so fast the of his soul is and what salle man be in exchange for his soul. So, as far as God is concerned, the whole creation aggregated together is not equivalent to one soul. All of the glory of the earth. You know, when Satan was. Begaining with God on the amount of temptation, he was showing him perishable things. He didn't know what matter in God's realm. Bow to me, I will give you all the glories of the earth. Bow to me. What are you talking about? Do you know what matters to God? I didn't come for the earth. The whole earth can buy one soul. One soul is more costly than the whole earth. And in case you want to place value on his soul, the only thing that qualifies is the blood of Jesus. That's why when God came to run from the soul, it was the blood of Jesus that was used. As payment. So if you are asking what is the value of a soul, is the blood of Jesus. That's what God equated the soul. That's what God paid to buy a soul. Will you pay one billion or for a bicycle, because in your eyes the bicycle is not worth it. Whatever you pay for a commodity is the value of that commodity in your eyes, Peter was thinking, it's said, you were not bought with paris shapeful things like jewelries, gold and diamond is said, but you were bought with the precious blood of Jesus. So in the eyes of God, a soul it's worth more than they ad In the eyes of God, a source value can only be equated to the blood of Jesus. So God, invariably is. Will need to exchange himself to bayazoul. That's why Jesus had to become a man, condescended, suffered to procure us, because his love was what placed that value and premium upon us. And then, finally, why is the soul so important to God? Is so it's important to God because the soul is the highest demonstration of God's creative enterprise. Man is the crown of creation. After God created everything they display the demonstration the investment of his best was not the moon, It was not the song, It was not the stars. It took a lot of the find architecture from man to be sculpted, because, for instance, nothing could contain God. The Bible said, heaven is true the earth this is suposed to at massive as eternity is. Eternity could don't contain God. But when God wanted to get the house for himself, looking for something that could host him, it was in Heaven that came thrue. It wasn't an angel that came through. It wasn't in itth that came through. The only infrastructure, and only God knows how he designed it. The only infrastructure that could contain the one that is bigger than eternity. The only infrastructure that could contain the one that is bigger than creation is man. The Bible said, your body is the temple of the Holy goos Him that is joined to the Lord is one spirit with him. So as big as God is, that heaven can't contain Gods. Think as God is that the whole acte is resposed to God lives fully inside the man is the Christ. In you is the harp of glory, so God can. That means the wisdom that went into creating man is superior to the wisdom that created the whole heaven. They all heath the holy eternity, the whole angelic realm. You don't know what man is. That's why there was a debate in the spirit. What is this creature that you are mindful of him? Every other thing God created, every other being God created, comes to him. Man is the only one God goes to. When God finished creating Man himself exclaimed that this one is fearfully and one that pully maid, fearfully and wonderfully maid. That's why he said he. Put the hair on your head. I know, but it the God. There's nothing about you that is tides play. If you can contain God, then you are the biggest expression of My mastery. So when you see a soul, you are seeing the highest demonstration of God's wisdom. You are seeing the highest demonstration of God's creativity. In fact, efficients Threeten says that the church is created to instruct principal palities and powers about the manifold wisdom of God. Have you read your Bible before that an angel of God, God in name all the God in was Holy, Holy, Holy. You are in your own class. When man came, man looked at him and say you are light. Man looked at him and say you are loved. Man looked at him and say, we got that thing. The whole of God is inside us. So we have combat. We pull out, we draw out, withdraw from within us, and what comes out of us is God manifested. Is that the asset God wants to through through away efficians to turn is that you are his workmanship. You are the expression of his mastery. You are the expression of his creative intelligence. You are his workmanship. You are created in Christ disus. So God is in us. We're in God demonstration of divine wisdom. That's why we matter to God. You go rido your Bible. When most is died, certain came to pigs that body. This one has manifest have God to a level. So if we're starting him some of the secrets of God that was invested in creation, we can find it in him. You know that degree to which to manifest God is worth. Show cases the possibilities of God's wisdom, the boundaries of God's wisdom. Mostly demonstrators for much so let's take this one to the did the Museum of Fire. We were starting him by chance where were stumble on something about God? And you walk every day millions or so pass you to her. You don't know the egg a coutie. God had I pray over someone today? The pattern the parting for so willie. It will rest upon you from this day. Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah oh ah. Man man alone the believer was God more than one d and forty seven names in the in the Bible. When God looks at us every day, he's giving us new names because we represent different dimensions. He's say you are his, but to us, you are his weapon of war. He looks at you, is said you are his glory. He looks at you. He said you are a king. He looks at you. He said you are a priest. He looks that. You say you are an ambassador. He looks that. He says you are a richness. He looks that you say you are the sort of the earth. He looks like you say you are the light of the war. He looks like, hey he God can't call you anything, because anything he is you can't become. The Bible said, as he is so, are we not in heaven in this war? If there should be anything in God like pride to be proud of anything, man is the first. That's what this is a serious business to go. We are the object of his pride. Angels debate over then, Certain told them I've worked to improve the edge. I'm talking over the edge. Say have you found my savant Joe? It is the have you seen in Jamichah? Have you considered my susant Joe? When angels fight, when demons fight. God used then to brag. Is that what you think God will allow perish? That's why I said, it's not desiring that any one sho perish, not one. If it was one man that was on edge, Jesus have come to save him. It didn't come because we are meaning. He came because this soul is valuable in the eyes of God. You were becoming so winner they brought in for soul. Willing will rest upon you. If it matters to God, it will matter to you in the name of Jesus Christ. Sit down for a moment, trying to thrill myself so that I can communicate these points. So willing paramount because of the value of a soul. So, in addition to the value of a soul with max, it important for us to become are them soul willas that are also blessings attached to so willing. I'm saying this because these things also forms the business for our sustained passon for sou waning. When you find a dog gets so wiener, there is something he knows about the value of a soul that will make him rest onto his so is won. And beyond understanding the value of a soul, there are benefits for so winning. And I'm gonna give you just five because of our time before I show you what you must do to stay passion it because that fire can't die. I tell people there are three definitions of scripture for a man who is on fire for God. Number one, when you find a man who is on fire forget all these gymnastics you are seeing around. That one is. Youthfulness that you're praying. I'm doing like this does not mean you're on fire. That's youthfulness. By the time you are seven, you can't lift your. Leg like that. That one is a Brenda Linda is pumping. If you are genuinely fire for God, the best way shows is passion for God and for his kingdom. The deal of my father's house that's consumed me any What is so fire for God? He loved God with God. When I caught fire for God, those days when they take light, I'm excited. You can't line the. Dark for ten hours. You don't talk to anybody. You are blessed, you are enjoying yourself. My sisters will be watching this in the movies. I would be so pained for them. I would just lie with God. Sometimes one vessel scriptures will be in your heart for four days. You don't even know what you are talking about the best, but the thing is it in your soul. We tracked to charge that we tracked if not to dead that if doesn't come, people don't go to churche. They don't know fire. We press. Sometimes when short closes, you tracked. I remembered one day I tracked on from Chorge. I was so tired. I opened the door, I couldn't close it. I fell on the carpet and left a copy on. I fell on this copyon the That thing is plung me twice. I was so tired I couldn't stand up because I tracked over three kilometers. Meanwhile, my body, my weight crossed this Copyon the next day, I was still going back to the church. I snapped it and took it there with thread of copyos and stopp playing. They don't hotels. Today. Somebody say it's rainy so I couldn't come for prayer, and it says it's on fire. Fire is part on for gold. You sit on the scripture, you sometimes you are one vest you. You are lost in it. You are chewing on it. You think me not criptures, because we are memorizing to preach. When we preach on any topic, they just come out, no cryptures. There were moments of impactles with God, no person for God, no person for the kingdom. That's why this somebody gives God a ten thousand, he's placing a demand of twenty million on that ten thousand because to him giving this transaction. If they say, God bless this people, let me drop this ten thousand, Lord, my marriage, my first car, my land, my visa. He dies. Now I'm not saying don't exercise your plate where you give. But if giving is all about transaction, you are money doubler. Get up on the other and go and go and do what your professional is. You don't a person for God. When the money is on fire goes. It's the zeal, the zeal of my father's house. And when he said house, it's not to be part of religion. The house of God shall be called the house of prayer. So he's talking in Telessian communion. Jesus said, Lord, we go and do big, and come back the next day and still go to preaching. It's fashion when the man is on fire. Number two, it shows through blessing, holiness, purity. People set there on fire for God. And when you're you come close to them, you see all kinds of garbage, and they set there on fire. Job said, I have the covenant with my eyes. My eyes does not't look upon the virgin. It's not rus and regulations are the love of God, that's fear of God. They're born in you like a play. It resorts in purity, fire, purifser you come be on fire, you are you are a lot of garbage. Your thin is on your life. I'm not saying a believer doesn't fall. The Bible itself says a righteous man may fall several times. I'm not tempted to tell you that I don't fall. But when you see people who live comfortably insane and they say they're on fire because they are living, play and sweating, they are kindergatis. It's theft for down love better, righteousness and hated iniquity. Thy God that's annointed at you with the oil of God bloodness above your pairs. You hate iniquity. When the generation where they are creating doctries to accommodate iniquity. And then when the man is on fire shows through passion for souls. You are all over the place and it will cost you, but they cost me nothing. They cost no. Winning costs a lot. It costs you time, it costs you energy, it costs you money, but you do it with joy. Have to prove that there's fire. I spent almost all my nyc allow we buying, buy gooes to India, pay for raughties, pay for people to come to church. And here it costs war. No body pays. Not this time. Why you say pick paper There there said twenty thousand. You have to motivate people while you say we are going for Evangelisday. A tot of ten thousand reduced this to forty. They don't have fires and you have. It's much is it's not a blow like you. It's off now there's no fire. The Bible say paw and banner bass man. That has badd their lives. Oh my. Even when the Allies were threatened, they were going, there's don't paw in the city to death. The trucks got at around him when they prayed his studo. I thought he would say let's go to the hospital. He said, let's go to the next city. It's then necessity is laid up on me. Whoa on to me? If I preach it on the gospel? Whoa whoa on to me? I'm cough. If I preached on the gospel. Necessity it's there for a dispensation. Of the gospel has been committed to me. That's what we caught fire. So if it's this drug drama you're acting, wake up that not this one that they are praying. You are doing like this when they don't give you mic level, he no gassa come this way, go and add drama at all. M hm. A Christian can comfortably gossip, comfortably co habit, comfortably lie, and yet he's on fire. M hmm. It's got strange fire. It's strange fire, so that our benefits for so winning, I don't want to go into bodies, dicigny. Let's look at them. Number one, So winning exposes you two uncommon dimensions of God's power. You know, there are many Christians who keep complaining, I'm praying for gifts of the spirit. What of knowledge gift? Or what king on miracles is in your bedroom? You want to use it? Go read your bidy. Every Body who demonstrated divine power was out doing good's business. You know. Don't go out to represent God yet you want to manifest power. Look at the apostles spread their lives. From the first power they manifested, they went out winning souls. At Chapter two, from verse one to four, it said, when the day of Pentacos was fully come, they were gathered together in one place in the opera room, and they had the standards of the Russian mighty win. And suddenly the room where they were was sealed with the holy goos and cloaking tongs, as of fire was upon them. What did they do? They stepped out preech began to preach immediately First Power Acts two thirty seven. They were pretty in their heart. That's the and ncastle power compelling for us three thousand men on their own. Men and brethren, what shall we do to be saved? You don't see power. You're not out doing God's business. Either you are praying or you are winning souls. This decide, walks, You got to ask. Chapter three, verse six. They were going to the place of prayer, and they found the man at the gets called Beautiful, who was laying from his mother's home. He asked them for arms, looking hoping to receive something. Seevan good, am, I know such as I have I give you in the name of Jesus. Rise up and walk. The guy didn't rise up. He pulled him up. I said, rise up. As they left the temple, Act five, verse fifteen, they put the sick on the streets. The shadow of Peter was leaning them. You are not about the Master's business. You can't see power. When the big them threaten them not to preach again, the Bible said, I thought that the really with great power, God gave them witnesses of the resurrection of Jesus, and great race was upon them. So it was so willing. That was the basis for the power. He gave them. Power to be a witness Chapter one, verse eight. You shall receive power after that the Holy Goost has come upon you and you shall be witnesses. You want to see power, You've got to be a witness, Mark four, twenty March sixteen twenty. And they went and the Lord working with them, confirming the world with science, and one that's following, and they went, you are not winning thores. You can't see God's. Power on common Dimensions of power are reserved for so willers and askedport industry's a long time abod day speaking boldly in the Lord, and the Lord confounding their wards the world of his Greece and granting that signs and one that's been done by their hands. They were speaking bodly in the Lord, so willing it resolves in power. I just came back from Usuka for the PFM conference. I was tired. I went there preached gradually about the name of Jesus. Number one. After I was preaching, race started. Polly. People wanted to move. I said, don't worry to stop. It didn't take three minutes. The rain stopped. He wanted to start again. I say, I told you to stop. The race stopped by force. I've never woke up in my house and gone out when it's rainy. After stop, the ring will wet me. The God their farmers soon needed what I was in mission souls. We're about to come into the kingdom. People were about to be delivered. So I said then stop. It stopped, and when we finished in the name of Jesus ned declarations like a commander. People came out glau coma clad hynea on bilk higher clad can't stunt the breast clad people who matter? They all about fifty people run out. They were huge. Instantly. I was even killing any annointing. But because I was in the field, the Bible said, God walking with them, confounding the world. When you start winning stores, even if you were not anointed, the wars you speak, the only ghost will confirm it. The cheapest way to walk into divine power is through souvie. I wish they had the clip strive testimonies. People who were scheduled for oppressions. Tumors were vanishing, as if you were punching if your word, not because faith was too high, not because the night was too high. But when you're in the business, when you speak the word, God. Knows it number two monts of you are here. Simple slamful things in life are defeating you. If because you've not gone to wear the handless power, you've not gone there. I can't tell you of the other dimensions of power that has increased because of souviny, from influence, to pay for to wisdom. Sometimes you just pan there. The moment you stand and open your mouth, he enters. God literally begins to talk through you. Thinks you have never read start coming out of you. Sometimes, because we're winning, those doors of nations are opening. People like us never beg for visa. I'm not a touristan, I'm taking Kingdom. I'm taking government. The last time we went to Australia, applied for the visa nineteen days to traveling. They contacted one of their senators and the woman said, this thing takes a minimum of tactic. No forty forty ninety days. Is that if this thing happens, it's a miracle. I said, that's where we leave. Thank God, you mentioned miracle. That means this has happened. I thought you would say unless they president. If you say miracle, it's a sapple, that's where we leave. We live in the realm. Of the Miraculos brothers and sisters. In forty eight hours they approved the visa. Stand her to open her mouth. How is this possible? I've done know not how the bones are formed in the womb of bathers with the child. So so no no doubt the ways of this speries, so so know it, no doubt the ways of the species. I'm telling us her, I can't come any war that leaves your mouth. Angels are waiting to run with it. We don't beg anybody for anything now, because it's what thous. If God gave this song, he will give everything, including power first that if he did know we thought it's only begot his son, but give him clearly, how shad he not? Why will you be back in to go to Canada? Why will you be back in to go to Belgium? The reason is because it's only for your selfish deeds. If kingdom is involved, then you see it's going as an immigrant. You are going as an ambassador of even they get most open. I prophesy over someone as you'll pick up the budding for so we need so natural power where begin to accompany you. Let's be down. You know the problem with us most of the time is that we have narrowed our understanding of spiritual possibilities. Some of us things setting spiritual things only happens when we either pray or if an annoyted man of God lay hands on us. So we we we n our possibilities. Yes, things happen when we pray. Yes things happen when an annoy entire person lay hands listens on us, things happen. But those are not the only gigs. There are many things that procure us blessings for you as a believer. So winning is one of them. I'm telling you, if you start winning stores now, you'll be shocked that some of the things that's setting men need that prayer, whole press betry to prophessye them into with start happening with you. Andrew Romar said, when he came back from the Vietnam War, he kept it was made the teatinos pictures for over ten hours every day. So when he came back, the thing was too loaded in him, so he started talking to people about Jesus. Before he knew what was happening. They started guthering. That was how people started bringing speed and tied. We don't know any man of God. You got they started giving. That was out. The dead started rising, people started walking no organized. Oh, in the studio they called you and say you are an appostal to the nation. If God uses that rout, is good. But you must not be called in the stadium by a national profits to forfill your destiny. There are many part ways, so winning is one of them. Begin to windsors, see how your life would change. Number two quite so willing, so important. It's a vital channel for reward in eternity. If you are going to eternity hoping to be anything, let me give you one guarantee to be something in eternity. It's two win sous. Nothing guarantees reward in eternity like holiness and so willing. You can quote me any day, anytime, if a man is going to eternity and is hoping to be anything. Number one, you must make a practice of righteous living. Number two, you must make a practice of so willing. The Bible said in Dania chapter twelve. If you read verse three, you know I've thought you here before on the twelfth rewards of ethality. Some of you may need to go back to that to that message. He said, and there that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the permament, and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars forever. You want to be a star in eternity, it takes so many to be one. See. One of the things that distinguishes you in eternity is the degree of your illumination. We will not all sign at the same frequency. One thing all of us are sure of receiving is the robe of righteousness, because that righteousness is the righteousness of Jesus. But illumination has different protocols. And I don't have time to show you the implications of the degree of your shine. But it said that tom many to righteousness, they shine as they starts forever or even on earth. Is shows when the Master's winning souls, you see, is set apart instantly he set up part. I was in Usuka. The chairman came there, carried the microphone and was fourteen some of my phrases to show me that he listens to me. And it is that they are honored that I came to their local government. I've been to place with me a king. Things of those day territories gave me on a radio. That's why you don't need to respecta make impact is the genties. Come to your light, Kings, come to the brightness of your horizon. Kings. I'm giving me on a radio, Kings, and I'm not talking. Ah. I am the head of this family. Or tried talking first class chef. At first you were listen to you in this palace. We are honored that you came to our land. Please let's give you this, I said, no, her majesty, Oh hurry. We came with Jesus everything we need. God that's provided. Can we beg and in ceast for you to take it? You will refuse. They want to die. These are the same people people are not being to sea, and it can only get better. They are nationals you'll go to, from mayors to ministers. They look for opportunity to see you for one minute. Sometimes when they're coming, I'm asking God, what am I going to tell them in one minute? But they believe that if they see you, their life has changed. And when they come, as you open your mouth, than the ancient ones leads into you and it begins to whisper. It begins to whisper, And as you're talking to death, sometimes they break down. They are checking how do you know these things if will make you a glorious entity. But in time and in eternity is the day that don't manis you to righteousness. They should shine like the brightness of the heavens, and as they pass forever. This is why you don't need motivation to be a soul winner. You need power in your life. Win souls. You need to reward in eternity. Wind those. If the value of those mean nothing to you, at least the benefits of those should mean something. Number three, why do we wind souls? It confess greatness in the kingdom. No so winer, and you can quote me anywhere. No sol winner will ever need to pray for greatness to become great. It is the byproduct of so winning in some sixty eighth Vest eleven is that the Lord gave the word, is that great was the companion of them that published it. That means when you are so wigner, a publita of good news, you will increase in number until you become a multitude. So there is a numerical dimension of greatness. But over and above that God also increases your influence. There is also a qualitative dimension of greatness. You want to be great in the kingdom. Jesus said, you should be the seventh of all and the chief best way to serve is to save people into the kingdom. It comparees greatness. Look at the man Jesus worked with Matthew f nineteen. Fisher men. When it came. He didn't bother looking for somebody from government house. He didn't bother looking for a milonia. In fact, the world man who came to him, he told him, go and say all you have come back. If we begin with you at this, your level of wealth, you think your money is what makes you great, go and tell it. Come back. What we are dealing with here there. Is quality control, and there is as palance in it. It must make you who did He go to fisher man, not just fisher man, frost stricted ones who didn't get any fish to catch. And he looked at them and say, follow me. I will make you fishers of men. You are being fisher man. Now let me make you fishers of men. You are no longer fish fish. You're a fish man day today. If you call Peter, no body needs to ask who is. If you call Andrew, if you call James, you don't ask who they are they have become eternally great. There are many universities of the world where you have pad tactics in the pattering a piece a fisher man his writings as bodied, and on the strength of it, a doctorate degrees conferred on people you call two bilooneus in the deaths of Jesus. Do you remember anyone? What are your names? Got too? Billonneus in the the greatness of money perishes. Even the men that were called are called the cause of the path they playing in Jesus is life. Otherwise they would have been forgotten. No wonder, when matter and the sister, the sister came and broke the Alabasta box, Jesus looked at her as they were. Ever this gospel is preached. See the Master, leave that man the Master, the Master. Jesus three, you have to be ancient of this. To talk like that, you have to be beginning an. End to talk like that. A man living. And yet it's a short of the future that there is guarantee for relevance. If they wherever this gospel is preached, her name will be remembered as a memorial. So Jesus said, those supper take in this gospel are immortalized. You are looking for true greatness, wind souls, wind thos. So winners are the only people who can enter in nations without posts, without sundards, without script, without latchet. Yeah, there'll be a blessing to that nation. Is that wherever you go, if they receive you, let your piece aboud. So, nations, families, institutions are often waiting for so winners. And when they return to him, is that when I sent you with nothing? Did you lack anything? There's something on your life. Stude will it? It will change you. As you put pressure on it. Through so win Why do we win souls? It makes those great people will suddenly forget your age, forget your journey, forget your race. In fact, you we have to be deliberate as a man of character, not to exhort yourself. There are nations we go to see. They receive you like a king, And yes we are kings. He met those kings and priests. I went to one. See the whole street they blocked it. All the cars that carried us. They rode aposto mic on the plate number. I said, why why are they're stressing themselves so much? They wanted to kill themselves that we can. And then there was milli of the uniform personnels. That was the band playing in front of us. And then there were people on horses moving into the hotel. They stopped. I said, and I'm pretty for one night. Not when you are entering a. Nation, you enter quietly, because if people know you are coming, they are fighting to handle your bus. Please, if, if, if, forgive me and give me the opportunity to pay for your hotel. Hotel where transcort Marriott or tell us where people who can't afford. They are begging to faith. They don't have to ask that. I gave an illustration about their watch. Somebody brought a bag with ten watches. So you are you for integrities there? Now you are careful not to mention what you like because if you mentioned, if people lose the aslet, they don't rest until they give you. Not because you caught anybody. Is that dye horn? Have I exhorted? There is such a thing called exhorted horns. And one of the guarantees for that annoying and to come on you is when you're becoming so we now free struggling sir, bring man into the kingdom and see God bring you into your destiny. Don't beg don't don't live your life begging people for that. To have compass on user, You are in no bookly goal. God this me you you carrying his DNA. Just do what it tells you to do. Yourn't tied. We come to your life, kings, We come to the brightness of your rising. That's gonna walk with me. Many times media platforms they are writing to you. Please let that grant them an interview. Say, my dud, this is not to grant interviews. I mean weakness of Jesus. People trying to relate with you to cure levers. You don't need all this lobby. There are three girls for greatness kingdom. Greatness is born through so weety look at men like Billy Graham. They told us that for fifty five years they captured him in Time magazine as one of the most honorable men that lived on it. When he died, they placed him and forgotten that name. Now where they placed American presidents who died in power. All he did was to preache across the statist mass crusade. He was preached in the stadium. There was overflowing other stadiums look at her. Drunkie strode into Africa, but left at the king. Presidents of nations across African some of them just invite him for dinner if they opposed his mouth that he needs anything. If you're president, were rush to supply it. Why you that is responsible for he doesn't care. You do God business. I was telling somebody when I started the life of God, of the children of his world, I knew there are things you do that you are separated. Why will set and be struggling for the body of a dead man whereas there are five million men alike. So a dead man was more important to Satter than the whole race? What is it about him? Because they serve the Lord. There is a greatness that you have. Not only men, we attest to it, even demos. We know that you are great. Finally, for tonight, why do we win souls? Because it's a commandment? So we need for us. It's not something we do because we feel like it's a commandment. Matthew twenty eighth, verse eighteen and nineteen. Matthew twenty four verse fourteen, Mark sixteen, fifteen and sixteen. Is there going to all power in heaven? And on earth has been given to me. If they therefore go into all the worlds and make disciples of four nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, teaching them all that you have learned from me. Low I'm with you always, even on to the end of the age. This Gospel of the Kingdom Matthew twenty four fourth must be preached, not the old world. That's the witness. It must be preached, Mark sixteen fifteen. This gospel must be preached in all They aid there that believe, and a bad pies shall be saved. They're that believe it not shall be condemned. So it's the commandment the only church. God did the great commission. So anybody who says he's a disciple of God must take this commandment seriously. I began by telling you you shouldn't be motivated, because imagine for a second, if we don't win souls, we make the that of Jesus useless. He died for people who are the need to receive His salvation is to be made aware so they can believe. And it makes you the mid to man. And then you don't imagine if somebody creates something stocks, the warehouse hires you as this distributor and then gives you the key. The people are waiting distribute, and then it comes after four years everything is expired. You didn't distribute it because when Jesus returns at the second coming, the force of salvation will be withdrawn. Because when he returns is coming for judgment. And then the salvation is talked for you and I to distribute will leave it until it expires. You think you will clad for you look at what Paul said in Acts twenty twenty five and twenty six. Is a dangerous then to take the command for co winning. For granted, it is there, and now behold I know that. Yeah, all among whom I have gone preaching the Kingdom of God shall see my face no more. Then he says, job around that place was completed. See the brightness statement for me? It s they. Wherefore I take you to record that this day that I am pure from your blood. Every one of us. There is a number of people God that's a possed to receive salvation through us. If we burnt, we are guilty of their blood. I'm free of your blood. Gee, God, thoughts Nick here this same things we here three eighteen to nineteen. If I tell a wicked man you will die and you do not want him, he said, I would demand his blood of your hand, he said. But if you want him and he refuses to repent, you have saved yourself first that now I'm free from your blood. That means I've burned my ministry to you, as the Lord commanded me. So this is not a casual commandment. So on one side, is you freeger or gen zy? Because they might be implications. I know we're in There are grace and God's messic and over right, Judge Wall, That's why I said they might be implications, and you are a child of God. You don't want to take that for granted. And then on the other part, when you obear God, it's always the blessing, always a blessing job that is siless. The level is that if you obey unserv him, you will leave all your years in prosperity and all your days in pleasure. If you obey and serve him. So when you find people who have been blessed, don't get better and start gods sipping them all these teeings. No, it's not every well demand. That's the team. It's not everybody doing well that is the thief. There are other people doing well because God bless them. And one of the ways to walk in the guaranteed realth of blessings its obedience. So number one, you leave your hear in prosperity. If you bid at command. Number two, you are guaranteed of divine presence. Jesus said that loved me. They keep my command. And he said, I am my father, will come and tabernacu with him. If the law. I'm with you always, even to the end of the age. Matthew twenty eight nineteen. And John, I think that's fourteen thirty five. I am my father with Tabanaco with you if you keep my commandment. So you want to carry God's presence. Prayer can't generate it, purity can generate it, brokenness can generate it. So winning also generated. And you know what God's presence does. In thy presence is fullness of life at the right hand, pleasures forevermore. When Israel came out of Egypt, Judah was the sanctuary. They see saw them and pled shot them, went backward. The mountains kipped like runs. Those who carry God presidents. They are like bunker busters. They tata any opposition. Nothing provides them. You are coming, You are not fighting. Mountains are going back. You know the man of fed need to talk to the mountains in the name of Jesus. Bet our remove beatou cast away, and it doesn't doubt. The man of the Presence is coming and the mountain is giving away. The Jordan is patty. You know that our rams in this matter. You know Morphy Fatter the Red Sea. It was power when Jesus came, he walked on water. Do you choose your realm? So you can't control mountain through faith in the name of Jesus. Cansta go in the name of Jesus, poverty goal, in the name of Jesus, stark nation be broken. But another person comes with presence. He said. The mountains keep like run when you are coming. Their movie, their movie, their movie, their movie. You passed as if there was no obstacle. And that's not all. It's the heat that we were letting. The discrectness of the most a bite under the shackle of the Almighty. He's the seal off his God. He is my refuge and my boler, my God in whom will I trust is that a thousands forced by yours high ten thousands by your writer. It shall not come near you. See one thing you notice about those Presidence says that he removes the fight. You don't do the fighting. The man of pet fights, but the man of presidents of tackles the claim the mountains keep. The attack does not come near you. It ships away, It SEPs away. Get what happened where the mountains kid? A question was not asked, Oh so time, why are you going back? So it's no coincidence? Oh mountains, why are you Exkif me get the answer, the mountain cave is then let the whole air trample at the prentice of God. So when you're carry God's presidents the wu your challenge is aid to get that and not to know that it is foolisheners for confront you. Let the air tramble some of you from today, when you step out your challenges with trample, your presence in the Etronomy twenty two twenty four twenty five is the rise of take up that Johnny, go beyond the river animal behold I have given on to you be on the amorit King of hegtron content with him and possess the latter and then immediate statement. I have put my dread upon you. If that when the nations see you, they will paralyze some of us before we confront our opposition. They paralyze because of what we carry. We can't generate it in prayer. Yes, they can't generate it in fasty. They can generate it through brokenness, but we are not turnerate it in the press of soviety. Imagine we go from nations to nations, from territories to territory. You think people don't know we are coming. They know, but there's nothing they can do about it because when they check, what you are coming with is too heavy. Oh. I was going to Cana to preach, and on the flight the only Gost whisper to me is that I we release some of the warriors of heaven to travel with you. I atent at that meeting, I was like a cheruvin. You just entered the hall. The power of God is blaming everybody, not trek for miracles. Have puting from left to right everywhere. Was in Gost. In two days The clip that read can they have to call me to one of their national TV for an interview. You don't know what you're saying. You have an access to God's presence. You have an access to a pleasure of a bud light. You don't have to struggle, but it rest nests around your obedience to the command of snow winning. It's a blessing to be a snow winner. Don't be cool. Make it a part of your life and see how your life will be dutified. Sit down, let me round them. How do you maintain the passion for so winning? Some of you the week you give your heart to Christ, the intensity for so winning was strong, your want souls everywhere for two weeks, for one month, some two months, some three months. Then you lost it. You lost it because you were not taught how to sustain that passion. That's the way to maintain the passion for so winning. Number one. Is to be mindful of the great commission. Remind yourself again and again that I'm not doing this because I choose to. I was commanded to do it. First, that a dispensation of the Gospel has been committed to me. Please let me find that scripture. I think that's First Corinthians nine, around six to eighteen. Check that scripture. For me. I want you to write it down. A depensation of the Gospel is committed to me. And he went further to say, whoe on to me First Corinthians nine, Verst. Sixteen. Right, for do I preach the gospel, I have nothing too glory off, he said, for necessity is laid up for me. Yeay, woe onto me if I preach not the gospel. It's a command. Next verse I want to see where he said A dispensation is that for if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward. That's why I told you this reward for so willing. But if against my will, then a dispensation of the godplace committer to me. So whether I will it or not, I have no choice. If I will it good for me, there's the reward. If I don't will it, I will still do it because it's a committer. There's a dispensation if like your love and your Lord worth living. And he looked you in the eye as they take care of my son. Do you know that level of sacred committer where somebody is traveling and it carries this infant child, it's the please take care of him because he trusts you. He believes that there is something sacred you hold towards him. That's why before God committer this assignment to Peter in John chapter twenty one, verse fifteen to sixteen, he says, Simon, lovers, tell me more than this. He said, Lord, you know I love you? Is they keep my sheep? Lover, tell me more than this, Lord, you know I do. It's they keep my sheep. I think twice it's a lamb, then third time sheep, because there's the difference between lamb and sheep. Actually, the lamb does not know the voice of the master. The lamb follows the bleating of the sheep, so it's talking about those that are just saved. Then the sheep at the mature one, so it's talking decidefuls. Lover, tell me more than this, keep my sheep? Three times three times. So it's like when God was living, he called those that he believes loves him, and he said, look see my hands. I've been naude, I've been piered, I've then dolt the humiliation, I bide. I've gone to hell. Now I've reasen, but I'm going to heaven. Will you help me do this assignment? As the mindset the great commission is the sacred entrantment. He did the work and it's expecting you to complete it. That's why the Bible said, who shall declare his generation? You want to keep the fire for so willing? This is how you think about so willing that the Master committed it to your thrust? How we live sound or how awkward will he appear? Where on the last day he cost you as the kings? Where are the stores I asked you to win? I was building a nested? Where are the souls? I asked you to win? I said, oh, I was getting married. When I got married, my two sons. Hi. Those boys say, hey, Hope. You know when Jesus was wanning, was talking to Peter had to have like this was because he was living it is that this first the kingdom to be preached in all the worlds teach them and he left. They took it for granted, and Peter said, let's go a fishing. That was when he went and called him, Ah, Simon, don't you love me enough to do this assignment? You are going fishing? Now? He's not saying, very responsible, but why did you not make so winning the priority? The only thing I entrusted to you. It's like a man who is about to die and he knows he will go inevitably, and then it cost you his best friend. He said, Please look at my wife, look at my two songs. I wouldn't be around, but for the sake of our relationship, please let them not lack. And then the moment that man dies, we are black and black to the barrier, wept as a hypocrite. And you come back from the barrier, you change your sink card. They never preached you again if they betrayal of the love that exists between the believer and Jesus. When we fail to win souls, those ones fire for God. They have the consciousness, the consciousness of the great commission that if we don't do it, angels won't do it. It's not their beauty. It's our sacred responsibility to God to ensure that everyone He died for receives our vasi before they depart from this realm? Number two, how do you maintain the fire of so winning the fire of evangelism by knowledge and not showing your love for God? When your love for God grows, your love for man we grow because the way the love of God is demonstrated is when he expresses it towards man John three sixteen. For God so loved the world that he gain is only the good things. That love. We push you to make sure no one perishes. Paul was speaking, is the God Corinthians five fourteen and fifteen is there for the love of Christ constrain at us? That love constrained is there for we dog George that if one died, for all dead that live cannot leave for themselves. If you see the love of God that moved God will die for you, you will know that it's the same way He was moved for you that he was moved for the one going to hell. You wouldn't let that happen. Those one fire in the place of so winning. They are motivated by the love of God. Number three. To keep the fire of so winning burning, your aorta must be burning. It takes intercession to evangelize. Evangelism is not lingo, it's not grammar. The fire for so winning comes from a burning order. When a man's fire begins to die, number one, his author dies, and then number two, his passion for thols dies. Because the passion for souls is sustained by the fire of the order. You can't be a sou willner if you're not an intercessor. That's why I tell you people, the world has many preachers for you interrcessos. For people to really be worn and to stand it will take prayer, because if you don't pray, you can't win people. Your English means nothing. Look twenty two thirty one Simon Simon Sertain desires to have you persist. You like wit. It's the buttter have prayed that your faith failed. Not when Tau had recovered strengthen their brethren, he prayed to win Simon. And when Simon recovers, it would be nature for Simon to win others in colosans for to have you said a patharas, it's one of you, a born savant of Christ, laboring frankly for you in prayer that you may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God. When you start praying, God will draw your attention to so winning. And when you start praying you're so winning, enterprise will become effective. In Ganness and six and muntin past that might lead to children of whom I traveil again in child bed as in prayer or the Christ is formed in you, and that's the spens. It is that as soon as Zion traveled, she brought forth her children. You can't win souls if you are not a man of prayer. You can't. Men are blinded. You think when you explain scripture and they understand it is because you are good orrator. They don't understand it because it's logical. They understand it because a veil is removed. It's if our gospel beheed. Second Chorethians four three and four. Eat it to them that are lost, of whom the God of this world has blinded the mind of them that are lost in whom the God of this world has blinded. Other Wise, world believes because the gospel is the own of the glorious image of the Son of God. But if you don't pray, they can't see it. That's why you trady. They travailed keeps you boning to win souls, and they traveil makes me effective. If you find people who are weak to go out to win souls, it's because they are first of all week in their prayer life, they don't have a communion. If you have a communion, God, we share his body with you and one of his majorb bodies is that none should be lost. You can't have a communion with God that you are not burning for souls. You think Paul just work up is because he hates himself that they can't hit being causes on himself. If you read Romans, I think chatter ten now verse one to three. Paul was praying. He is that he has a body for his brother's the Jews, and he said, if God will not save them, if you cut him off. You don't talk like that unless something is rangy in you, and then you sleep POI again first courage of nine sixty saying whoa want to me? If my prieza the ghost, then you sleep poor again. In Act fifteen twenty sixth Paw and bannabas men that has arted their lives for the Ghospel. This is not z When they flog you, when they am barrass you. If God does not power you, you will stop. I told you my story. Gave my heart to Christ young believe a bonny him and I caught an idea. Let's win them from the secondary school before they go to the university, so that they will be established the first secondary school. I went to the woman was half German and half Nigeria. And I caught a friend of mine. He's in Legos now. His name is the Baba Joseph, and said let's go to this school. We entered and the woman saw some gentlemen. Maybe she thought you were bankers. And when we walked into the office, start with outline of how we need to spare the wall from the corruption that is coming. When Way spoke for a while, she was visibly irritated. You go see it on her face. And she told us I don't meet my business with religion. Leave my office. I said, no, man, Paul planted a follows water God. When she told she says she we call the security and it will not end well. The thing hits me like an arrow. When I left the office for two years, my store winning fire died. He shoted it to my She shoted it to my heart. What is this? Get out of here? What this news is coming to? Do you think? Yes, a place for your church. He took a reviv for me to go back to the feud of missions. When they blog you if God does not fire you off, human Ronald, I was ready for you here last week of the peries of poor as he was winning. Thus second Corinius level. Let's read from verse twenty three to twenty seven as I'm rounding up, or go to twenty two so that you get context. All right. He was talking about the other apostles, how they are Jews and Hebrews that he is the same. And then he went to verse twenty three and he started telling us his record. This is first credentious. You know, in our generations, our credentious, and the houses were build. They can't we have this is false credentious. He said, I speak as a fool because I want to brag a little. And they began to brag. He said in labels, I left both more abundantly in stripes, that is, flogging is the above measure in imprisonment, more frequent in that often. Then he now broke it down a bit further. Is there of the Jews five times received eye forty tripes save one, that's thirty nine s trokes. They flogged him thirty nine strokes five times. Then they went further. Now this is for you who woke up late on Start today, evangelist. It's seven o'clock. Is the guy you know? It's you? Nobody flogged you, You are your you. Maybe next month see what others the path to BEASO winners. If the twe I was fitting with rods once I was told twice I suffered shipwreck. A night and a day I was in the ded. He fell into the water. They left him there. He was there for a whole night and day. It wasn't very for vocational This is so willing enterprise. It's where in Journey's often you fly on on on a Dreamliner. Business class. It's the guy. This light is dole ours mangod Rescu. They were moving on donkeys and trekking through forests in Journey's often in Paris, of water, in Paris, of robbery, in Paris, of my own countrymen, those who hated him, in Paris, of the heating, in Paris, of cities, in Paris, of weirdness, in Paris, of the sea, in Paris among first brethren. So the guy's second name was Peri. In willingness, in painfulness, in watching, or intercessions, in hunger and taste, in fasting, it's letting you know there are transpho. We don't have food, so we have to convert it to first. So we are used to hunger, in colde and in nakedness. Meanwhile, I told them some of these things could be happening simultaneously. It's possible that he was naked and in cold and hungry at the same time. Why they threw him into prison. But they never backed down, The fire never cringch Why do you think it was true? See the way part describe this in Second Corinthians for several teens and eighteen Instead our light application I've bought for a moment, he caught all of this light application. You think this is normal. It takes the fire of intersection to remain like this. That's why I said. Him, that's fribers, for the mastery is temporary, not things. And it's the him that worried does not entangle himself with civilian attairs. He watches in prayer for the command. Of his master. It takes prayer to keep the fire of so wny bonny mast of us have become cold and so willy. Because our authors are French. Number four, how do you build and sustain hunger? For so winning feeding on the world. The word reminds you and energizes you the reason for which you are still here. In Jeremiah twenty Verst. Nine is that the words were locked in my bones as fire bonney within my bones. I didn't want to speak like every one of us. I didn't want to speak about Jesus. I didn't want to talk to them about the kingdom. Is that? But the wars that entered me already, So they were locked in me like fire in my bones. He maketh this angel spirits his ministers exclaimed, so fire, that fire comes from the world. When you sit on the ward is tet. The appetite for so winning number five. If you want to sustain the fire of so winning, stay connected with sou winners. They will stare you up. I came from a crusade yesterday, a bit tired, taken I have done something. Then the Lord asked me to go, since that I didn't have administration this morning, went to Donas for service and then I saw another show winner. I knew there is a difference in the matter when I was seeing it. I was ten then from Benue from the IDP camp, touched down in a Buddha change and moved straight to kebby Pridge two nights and then move from their threat to this isn gone by all of them stedi on sides stion sides with danger's miracles.

This one the eye was stealed. It thought open. You could see see red as if a razor blade caught it. And the eye open on such. Why you see something you're dead. You have done it for ten years. They've done it for that is something years. So you know there's no room to rest. The Barbabilla said, if tired and excuse, all of us would have died. If you want to rest, there's the place called the Greek that's where all of us. That's why they call it it tanner rest. I'm not playing don it's the SiGe. I'm not saying, oh rest, but some of us are lady, and we call it rest. In one year, you want several souls, but you're arrested. It's time to wake all. God is depending on you to take this ward. Hebrews ten twenty four. The Bible said we should paw one another to law and good works. He said, don't despise the garding of the saints. Be encourage, be motivated when you see one do something. Let me tear your fire. Proverbs seventeen says iron sharpnet Ion as a man the countenance of his friends. You want to keep the fire or so winning Bonnie, stay with sou winners here and the art simonis. It will charge you off. I was talking to our pastors in one of our trainings, and I told them, if the size of your church it's not yet one twenty, why are you looking for home one twenty? When the oper room, God drove them out. You you are buying drunk. You are buying Eli discreen and you are seventy. You are forty two. If you are less than one twenty, you don't have the right to sit in the hall. That's why they were one twenty in the opera room. He dropped them out. Go to the market. Go that'saff is there? Why are you win three thousands? You have a justin Bible, ready to get a home? He ohh yeah, you are forty two and you applied to his apostle. There are some archbishop that I'm not not to two hundred souls but they are at bishops with cross, so that when they got to see the governor, they will sit among bishops. Don't deceive yourself with titles. What God is looking at his defred It's better you are a believer who is winning thus than to be God and apostle who is partying. Hearing. Is my Father glorified that you bring for truth, and that your truth abide. There is a reward attaches to so winning. There's greatness attached to so winning. There is power attached to sow win. If you don't want to be a parrying Christian, make up your mind to becoming so willing. We turn ourselves here. If you cannot go out, join those praying for souls to be won. And if you cannot join those praying, then give for souls to be won. By all means. Win souls either through going out, through praying, or two gilling. But the best is to do all three. That's not souls. I won't and that's the calling of every believer. I pray for somebody tonight. As you walk out of these babies, their body, their passion for so waning will rest upon your mightily as you step out of these savies. The gray from become an effective for wiener will rest upon your mightily. Can we lift our voices and pray for one minute? Father, grant me the great, Grant me the passion. Grant me the hunger, so becomes truthful in your kingdom, The Bible said. The branch that does not produce truth is that their father cuts off. Yeah, if not, what the one I'm produces heat pron so that they can't produce more fruit. Fruit bonnet is a by product of trobe. Go ahead and pray, Hello he. Madonna, Hello he Madonna, Hello he mad. Na, Hello him Madonna, Hello Hi Madonna, Hello he mad Na, Hello him? And yah. Aia oh. Remember what I told you. There are things that are bettered by prayer. There are things that are bettered by the annoyingly. There are things that are bettered by prophecy. There are things that are better by optimost pairs. All of those things are important pressed after them. But there are also things that are bettered by govini. You know why God created many channels so that none of his child would be stranded. Why he expects you to engage all in case you can't, at least there is one that you should be able to and the simplest one that everyone must engage in. So willy, if Jesus really save you, you don't need to be a theologian to tell somebody else about Jesus so that you too can be great, so that you too can have reward, So that you too can seed the power of God, so that you too can carry God's presence. In case there's nobody to prophesy to you, in case there's no annointed man to lay hands on you, go to the three. You can pull off things that those who come on that great annoying things, those who come on that great at goost, person and job, you can get it.

You can meet two three people on a daily business. You talk to them a lot of holy goes to convict them tonight. I may not be ministering to you by the annoyance. I may not be proper sighing to you. I may not be starting an a closphere of reviver. But I'm showing you a way of possibility that you can engage on your own to be complete. If you want to make a commitment to become a sou willer, either by going out or by praying for those to be worn, or by giving for those to be won, or by doing all three, I want you to step forward. Let me pray with you. This is not you coming to receive Jesus. This is you making a commitment that you will give Jesus to your work. You are connected online, you want to do the same. Make your commitment, nice. I have held how angry. Sence long ago were broad before a time runs strong. They were told that he will spend their lives. In the weirdy the name of Christ.

They tied them to the stick and bunk them. Some of them were crucified fast down. Some of them were thrown from the cliffs, and they perished. Some of them were torn and sunder. They tied them and pawed them into two. Some of them they cleared them because they preach Jesus. How could you without threat, without opposition in your own generation? You don't preach it. The testimonies of those who came ahead of us is too heavy for us to be looked on. How will you confront Paul in heaven? How will you confront Peter when they wanted to crucify him? He's that please. I beg for one thing, Chargest told us, when you crucify me, don't fret me up. I'm not qualified to like my master pourned the cross upside down. I heard the story of a woman of two women, perpetual and felicity. They gave opportunities to change her mind because she was pregnant with her savant. They waited on after she gave bath, when she needed care, and they brought them naked in the arena, and white beach part them apart. And they too for Jesus. They preached when it was dangerous to preach. They preached when dead was the penalty of preaching. How can we relax? Modecaia told esther, do you know why you came at such a time as Jesus needs witnesses and you most become one. You don't have to be a sculled evangelist. Begin with your friends, but make up your mind. I was, tell somebody about Jesus, even if not for the benefits, how about the value of his soul. The time has come that churches will not just be packed because of one anointed man, but because everybody went out one source and brought them to be disciple. Bless your right hand on your chest. If you are since here, God, well have you This is an apostolic fortress. They come here to equipment so that they become relevant in the kingdom. This is one of the things that will make the biggest mark in your life, said dear Heavenly Father, I repent for my indifference towards dying souls. I repent for my. Disobedience to the great commission. Today I make my commitment to you, and I pledge my allegiance, HM, that as you strengthen me by your grace, I will no longer be burying. I will become that. Fruitful branch that brings forth fruits, and my fruits will abide. Help me, Lord, make me a sou willer, and make me impactful in your kingdom. Father, in the name of Jesus, you have heard our christ. You have heard our commitment. Lord, that every one of us returns from these services. Let the body and the grace for effective soul winning rest upon all of us in the name of Jesus. And Lord, as we go, let your presence go with us. Let your power be manifested, and let every day of our life become an ending chain of testimonism. And Father, let not let not one of us, not even one, lose this reward. For him that winners saw is wise, and him that winner saw shall be as bright as the brightness of the firmament. Let every go winner here receive that reward at the end of time, and Lord, on account of this enterprise, make us great, for you give your award, and great was them that accomplished it. Don't ask capacity to go out to prey for and to give for soul willing, and as we do it, multiply us. Let they least one of us become as strong as they did, and let a small one become a great nation. Thank you, Lord, lift your hands. There's the fresh anointing for miracles, for speed and for favor. Some of you degrees to work in miracles, We come on you now.
