Are you wise? ?

AMED 45.15

Home | A Miracle Every Day | Miracles | Are you wise? ?

 

Is soul winning important to you? Should we allow everyone to go their merry ways and one day face the judgment seat of Christ unprepared? Should we watch people suffer without a savior, healer and counselor?

Many have different theological backgrounds and beliefs, which is very healthy. Each person must decide about his or her own faith. Joshua said, “…choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve…But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” (Joshua 24:15, NKJV)

Respecting other beliefs is very important to me. Millions upon millions worship God differently, and it’s refreshing. But there’s still a burning desire in me to tell everyone about my Jesus. The Bible says, “The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, And he who wins souls is wise.” (Proverbs 11:30, NKJV)

Are you wise? Do you win souls? 

The proverbs of Solomon say, “Blessed are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding” (Proverbs 3:13, NIV). When you understand and apply this, you’ll start winning people to God. 

You’re wise enough to know real eternal life is found in Christ. You know He gives abundant life here on earth as well. For many years, I prayed God would use me to win my friends, my family and others to Christ. I had a specific burden in my heart for my uncle and aunt. I loved both of them very much, but they were far from God. They were far from God, but close to me. So it was my personal mission to appeal to them to “…Be reconciled to God.” (2 Corinthians 5:20, NIV)

One day, I felt compelled to visit my aunt and share the love of God with her. As I walked up, I saw her smiling face, and she shared the story of her recent experience with the Spirit of God. She had stumbled into a nearby church and made a personal decision for Christ. Wow! My prayers had been answered. We wept together because God had mercy on both of us, and now wisdom required us to share this joy with others.

Who are you praying for? Who in your life needs Jesus? They may not be close to God yet, but they can be close to you, and you can lead them to Him.

You’re a miracle.

    For many,many , many year this has been my declarations that as for me and my house we will serve the Lord. I pray for the salvation of my son and daughter. They both declared Jesus their Lord when they were younger and I know they believe in Him but they don’t serve Him. Does that acknowledgement of their youth still hold? I know that I will not shut my eyes from this world without them serving You Lord. I believe it with all my heart. In Jesus name I declare it amen!

    This is a reminder for to me to not get discouraged or impatient in praying for my younger brothers and sister. They have ran so far from God and there’s nothing I can do but pray for them. I know that our God is a merciful God, He will rescue them in due time. Thank you so much for this message it really hit home for me. May God bless you all
