TOPIC:
PASSION FOR SOULS
Scriptural Reading: ‘For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!’ 1Corinthians 9:16.
Child of God, the things that matter to you are revealed in your passion. When you study the earthly ministry of the Lord Jesus, you will discover that helping people and teaching people about God’s kingdom (that is, soul winning) were His passion. Therefore, little wonder at His willingness to lay down His life for the same purpose.
When you come to the Lord Jesus, the first thing He does is to ignite the same passion in you. Everyone associated with the Lord Jesus become a passionate soul winner. Your love for Him is expressed in your passion to see souls come into God’s kingdom. The Apostle Paul’s undying passion for the Lord translated into his passion for the gospel and for the souls of men (Acts 1:8). Such was Paul’s burning desire to see men come to know the Lord Jesus the same way he knew Him, that he stopped at nothing to spread the gospel, in spite of the great persecutions (Romans 1:14-15). You must recognize that you are also a debtor to your world. You owe the people in your sphere of contact this message of God’s great for mankind. You must tell someone or others about Jesus. Be remembered as someone with a passion for the souls of men.
Prayer: O Lord, as I pray now, show me mercy and stir up a greater passion for souls in my heart today.
