God’s Presence Puts Me In charge And Makes Me A Commander Of Signs And Wonders

God’s Presence Puts Me In charge And Makes Me A Commander Of Signs And Wonders

 

Study Scripture: Mark 16:15-18

And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. (KJV)

If you must encounter God in this season, you must be planted in God’s house (Psalms 92:12-13). You must also have a spiritual father (Joel 2:28). You cannot command signs and wonders until you have encountered \God and you cannot encounter God until you have made God’s presence your priority and hunger desperately for enduement of power. Soul Winning is easier when signs and wonders are manifested. Signs and wonders are not just for pastors but everyone that believes in the power in the name of Jesus.

What are signs and wonders?

  • Signs and wonders is the evidence of the resurrection of Jesus

If you don’t convince a sinner by mere words. You need power. If you are telling someone that his life can be changed or his sickness can be healed, then prove it. (Acts 3: 1-3, 11-16)

My attitude should be anger at my present state and hunger for a stronger, effective and higher state.

Prayer point:

Oh lord endue me with power for signs and wonders.

 

Benefits Of Soul winning

Soul winning is God’s heartbeat. You are not winning until you win souls. The last message of a man before he dies is very paramount that means before he dies is very paramount that means that Jesus Christ’s words before He died must be heeded. His lasts words commissioned us into soul wining (Mark 16:15). The best way to train up your child is to raise him up to be soul winner, a kingdom addict (Proverbs 22:6). If we refuse to win souls, woe is unto you (1 Corinthians 9:16)

God expects you to reach out to every soul wherever you are in the following ways: pray for the lost, witness to the lost and fund the gospel. You will not prosper until you fund the gospels; the angels are always in a haste to supply for soul winners. It is not enough to understand that this is time to win souls but to maximize it by practically winning souls (1 Chronicles 12:32)

Subscribing to soul wining is entrance into the covenant of divine presence (Matthew 28:18-20). We are empowered to go for soul wining. Soul wining is the purpose of my creation and salvation (Ephesians 2:10, 2 Corinthians 5:17-19). Soul wining is the debt you owe Jesus. You break Jesus’ heart when you fail to win souls. When you are a Soul winner, nobody will break your heart. Soul wining is a ministry and you are ordained into ministry (Ephesians 4:11-12)

Benefits of Soul wining include:

  1. God stands you out as an ambassador of heaven hence you enjoy:
  2. a) Divine immunity against sickness and satanic attacks
  3. b) Divine provisions and supplies
  4. c) Divine intervention in ugly situations
  5. Access to eternal glory

Further Scriptures: Psalms 91:14, John 14:2-3, 2 Timothy 4:6-8, Revelations 20:15

Prayer Line: O lord I receive the grace to embark faithfully on soul winning in Jesus name. Amen!

Assignment: Write out the names of seven persons you must win for Jesus and present them as gifts to Jesus on Sunday, 25th December. Keep praying for their salvation until they are won over for Christ

Breaking The Limitations of Effective Soul Winning

Breaking The Limitations of Effective Soul Winning

Soul-winning is a command. It is wrong for you not to be committed to soul-winning which is a means of expansion in the kingdom family (Psalms 51:12, John 15:16, Matthew 28:16-20)

Failure to any command attracts punishment whereas obedience attracts benefits so it is with the command of soul winning. Soul winning is God’s heart beat and the source of joy to heaven Luke 15:7

Soul winning is your access to wisdom, prosperity and stardom (proverbs. 11:30, Matthew 6:33, Daniel 12:3.) The sole aim of soul winning is for sinners to receive salvation. So what are these limitations?

  1. Fear of being rejected

Don’t be afraid because it is not you that save but God Acts 4:12. If you lack words during evangelism, then you are not convinced about God’s power. Why not share your testimonies? Or don’t you have?

  1. Lack of boldness 2Timothy 1:7

Not having answers to the questions you will be asked shouldn’t stop you

  1. Satanic stronghold and manipulation over the lives of men you are preaching to
  2. Lack of consistent positive living

If you are not generous or you are falling short of being a light, you’ll find it difficult to preach Matthew 5:14. If people don’t know you as a true Christian they may laugh at you when you want to preach.

Limiting mindsets to soul winning

  • Everybody goes to church so there’s no need
  • Soul winning should not be done in public places
  • Soul winning should only occur when the spirit leads – but God has already commanded so create opportunities to win souls(1 Peter 3:5,Acts 20:19-21)

Solution to limitations of soul winning

  • Come close to people, be interested to help
  • Build relationship with people so that you can influence them with the gospel
  • Bring in Jesus in every discussion. Once they discover that your life is consistent, they’ll come to you with their challenge then you minister to them.
  • Empowerment of the spirit through the freshness of God’s presence in prayer Acts 10:38

Prayer point:

Holy Spirit baptize me afresh!

The Faith Tool For Dominion

The Faith Tool For Dominion

God gave us dominion over all things. The word, ‘Dominion’ is derived from the Hebrew word ‘mamlaka’ which means to lead, to exercise influence, to rule and to be in charge. As a believer, God expects you to exercise dominion on every side (Genesis 1:26, Palms 8:6). The number one tool for exercising dominion is the force of faith. Nothing works in God’s kingdom without faith. Faith is the propeller of every kingdom exploits and advancement. When you receive faith, you receive a change of status. Vision becomes television without faith. Nothing can be received without faith. Every other tool for dominion thrives on faith. Faith is the livewire of every believer. Faith is the bow that shoots the arrow of your destiny to the top. Faith is the driving force of every believer (Hebrews 11:1, Habakkuk 2:4, Romans 1:17, James 1:5, Galatians 3:11, Hebrews 10:38).

Why Do I Need This Spirit Of Faith For Dominion?

There is war over your soul (Zechariah 1:17, Ephesians 6:10-16). Faith is a fundamental fact of our existence, the firm foundation under everything that makes life worth living. For everything that will ever work out, faith is needed. Faith is the strength needed to fight problems.

Faith can only be used to exercise dominion if it is based on reckless love for God (Galatians 5:6). Three ways this love can be expressed are:

  1. Total commitment to the things of God (Deuteronomy 30:6, 11, 20, 19:9, Psalms 91:14).
  2. An excited sacrificial giving. True lovers are givers. You cannot access God’s kind of prosperity until He becomes your priority (1 Chronicles 29:1-5)
  3. An aggressive and conscious taking risk for God here on earth (Nehemiah 2:2-3, 1 Kings 8:4, Esther 4:16, Hebrews 11:32-40, Obadiah 1:21)

Prayer line: Oh Lord, increase my love to have a stronger faith in You
