“He
that wins souls is wise” (Prov 11:30; KJV). “I say unto you, that likewise joy
shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine
just persons, who need no repentance (Luke 15:7; KJV).
If
heaven gets that excited about soul wining then we should to. Sometimes we can
get very intimidated by the thought of sharing our beliefs with others. Well,
start small and work up, this can make it easier and once you’ve started you
will get excited about it. Challenge yourself to do something to witness each
day and as you do, it gets easier. “Let your light so shine before men, that
they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven” (Matt
5:16). First of all, let your light shine. Make sure the life of Jesus on the
inside of you shines out in all you do and say; smile real big. “Put on charity”,
as we read in Colossians 3:14. Leave tracts in restaurants, at checkouts and
with people you come across. Let your speech be full of grace and seasoned with
salt (Col 4:6). Take every opportunity you have to share why you are the way
you are; to share about what God has done for you.
God
says we should walk in wisdom toward non-Christians and redeem the time (Col
4:5). In other words, look for opportunities to share Jesus with people. Don’t
worry, God will give you the words to say (Matt 10 :19). Get excited about
sharing: “Do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men” (Col 3:23). This verse
means we should take our eyes off our worries and shyness and witness for and
in obedience to God and he will bless us and the outcomes. Go fishing today (Mark
1:17).
