Christians are Soul winners Not Self-satisfied workers!

SOUL WINNING FOR CHILDREN

(Notes prepared for 'RU' Conference Workshop)

 

Introduction: Jesus Christ came on earth for the purpose of seeking and saving the lost (Luke 19:10). As we seek to follow Jesus, we must have the burden for the lost around us as well. As the heart for lost souls should consume adults, that heartbeat for the lost should also be in younger Christians. With the Holy Spirit's enablement, a child has the same fire and ability to win souls for Jesus. Thus it is important that we catch the fire ourselves and pass it on to the next generation!

 

 

I.                   Soul Winner's Priority (Matt 6:33)

-      The Glory of God

     

'If everything is important, then nothing is really important'

 

 

II.                Soul Winner's Prayer (Matt 9:37-38)

 

-      The Heart of Jesus

 

                        'The heart of compassion for souls can only be found in Jesus'

 

III.             Soul Winner's Power (Acts 1:8)

 

-      The Holy Spirit

 

'Only the Power of God can save souls'

 

 

Conclusion: If we teach the children all the principles and truths of the Bible and yet forget to teach them how to be soul winners, we will be depriving the children of something that is really close to the heart of Jesus. Therefore, it is vital that we carry the heartbeat of Jesus by placing prayer and effort specially on witnessing for children. When a child catches the fire of soul winning, we can pray and expect them to see the power of God that will surely transform their lives!
