The Principles of Soul Winning

The Urgency of Eternal Matters

We cannot afford to be nonchalant as regards where men will spend their eternity. We must be sensitive and interested in ensuring men come to receive Jesus as their Lord and Savior.

The Eternal Inheritance

"To an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you." (1 Peter 1:4 NKJV)

Life is not all about this earth but about eternity where no man can escape from. The apostle Paul emphasized this eternal perspective:

"If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most pitiable." (1 Corinthians 15:19 NKJV)

Understanding Salvation

Salvation is not a measure of good works. It is a free gift of God that is eternal life through the Lord Jesus Christ. The salvation you have received through Jesus Christ is the best for life here on earth.

Getting men saved is a responsibility that must be accepted as our duty by our witnessing to them.

The Root Problem of Humanity

The only problem of humanity is sin. Every other problem emanates from that. This understanding helps us focus on the real solution people need.

God's Strategic Positioning

God promotes us to come into the company of new people in order for us to do our best in ensuring the security of their eternal destiny for Jesus.

Prayer for Effective Evangelism

Prayer: Release me from the sense of ego that will not allow me present the gospel as I ought to. Surround me with people who will encourage me to make me effective in this ministry. Cause me to lose sight of myself and lose the fear of what men can do to me.

The 9-Point Masterplan of Evangelism

1. Insertion

His incarnation of Himself (Jesus) into our environment. God has inserted us into our various environments to identify people to evangelize to.

2. Selection

Identify who you are sent to and also who God wants you to work with.

3. Association

These are people you will intentionally have association with for the major reason of impacting and discipling them for Jesus.

4. Consecration

Laboring to take charge of their understanding and thought patterns to be much more associated with you. It is a labor you do in prayer.

5. Demonstration

Living the life you want them to live.

6. Impartation

Pouring the life that you carry into them.

7. Delegation

Teach others to also lead and partake in fellowship and growth process.

8. Supervision

Watch over the people you influence.

9. Replication

Final goal of raising many more like our kind everywhere.

At any point in time of the aforementioned points, a man can get born again.

Conclusion

The eternal destiny of souls is too important to treat with indifference. As God strategically positions us among new people, we must embrace our responsibility to share the gospel and follow the masterplan of evangelism from insertion to replication. Through prayer, demonstration, and faithful witness, we can ensure that those around us have the opportunity to receive the incorruptible inheritance that awaits all who trust in Jesus Christ.
