PURPOSEFUL LIVING .....In Pursuit of Divine Mandate! 🔥🔥🔥 LEAD SCRIPTURE Jeremiah 1:4-5 (KJV) "Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations." INTRODUCTION TO PURPOSEFUL LIVING One of the greatest tragedies in life is not death, but living without purpose. A person may possess wealth, influence, education, and popularity, yet still miss the very reason for which God created him. The Scriptures reveal that God is a God of purpose, order, and intentionality. Nothing He creates is accidental (Isaiah 46:10; Ephesians 1:11; Romans 8:28). Before Jeremiah entered time, God had already settled his assignment in eternity (Jeremiah 1:5). David testified that all his days were written in God's book before any of them came to pass (Psalm 139:15-16). Likewise, Paul declared that believers were created in Christ Jesus unto good works prepared beforehand (Ephesians 2:10). Purpose is therefore not a human invention but a divine revelation. Life becomes meaningful only when it aligns with God's original blueprint. A fish thrives in water, a bird thrives in the air, and a believer thrives only in divine purpose. TWELVE TRUE TESTS FOR PURPOSEFUL LIVING 1. PURPOSE IS PRE-ORDAINED BY GOD Jeremiah 1:5; Psalm 139:16; Galatians 1:15 God knew Jeremiah before formation, Paul before birth, and David before development. Purpose originates in God's heart, not human ambition. Wisdom: Discover purpose; don't manufacture it. 2. PURPOSE IS GREATER THAN SELF Genesis 12:2-3; Matthew 5:16; Philippians 2:4 Abraham was blessed to bless nations. Purpose always serves people beyond the individual. Wisdom: A purpose that benefits only you is too small. 3. EVERY BELIEVER IS A MISSIONARY Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 1:8; 2 Corinthians 5:18-20 Whether in business, ministry, politics, education, or medicine, every believer carries a kingdom assignment. Wisdom: Your workplace is also your mission field. 4. PURPOSE HAS A TIMEFRAME Ecclesiastes 3:1; John 9:4; Psalm 90:12 Jesus understood that His earthly assignment had a divine timetable. Opportunities neglected today may not return tomorrow. Wisdom: Delay is often destiny's greatest enemy. 5. PURPOSE HAS GEOGRAPHICAL ASSIGNMENTS Acts 16:6-10; Genesis 26:2-3; Matthew 28:19 God redirected Paul to Macedonia. Location often determines manifestation. Wisdom: Being in the wrong place can delay the right purpose. 6. PURPOSE IS REVEALED BY GOD'S WORD Psalm 119:105; Isaiah 30:21; Romans 10:17 God guides His people through His Word. Divine direction produces purposeful living. Wisdom: The clearer God's voice becomes, the clearer life's path becomes. 7. PURPOSE DEMANDS SERVICE TO HUMANITY Mark 10:45; Acts 10:38; Galatians 5:13 Jesus lived to serve. Purpose is validated by impact upon others. Wisdom: Significance is measured by service. 8. PURPOSE REQUIRES SACRIFICE Luke 9:23; Romans 12:1; Philippians 3:7-8 Every divine assignment demands surrender. Great purpose carries great cost. Wisdom: Purpose flourishes where selfishness dies. 9. PURPOSE ATTRACTS OPPOSITION Nehemiah 4:1-9; Matthew 2:16; Acts 23:12-24 Moses, David, Jesus, and Paul all faced resistance. Opposition is often evidence of significance. Wisdom: Every great purpose has enemies. 10. PURPOSE REQUIRES PERSISTENCE Galatians 6:9; Hebrews 10:36; James 1:12 Joseph endured betrayal, slavery, and imprisonment before fulfillment. Wisdom: Purpose rewards endurance. 11. PURPOSE REQUIRES CONTINUAL GROWTH Proverbs 4:18; 2 Peter 3:18; Luke 2:52 Growth in wisdom, character, and capacity prepares a person for greater responsibility. Wisdom: Expansion of assignment requires expansion of capacity. 12. PURPOSE ULTIMATELY GLORIFIES GOD John 15:8; Matthew 5:16; 1 Corinthians 10:31 The final objective of purpose is not self-glory but God's glory. Wisdom: Purpose reaches its peak when God receives the praise. WISDOM NOTES 🔥 ✅ You are not an accident; you are an assignment. ✅ Purpose begins in eternity before it appears in time. ✅ The greatest prison is living below your divine potential. ✅ Activity is not productivity; movement is not purpose. ✅ Many people make a living, but few discover why they are living. ✅ Success is achieving goals; purpose is fulfilling divine intent. FINAL THOUGHTS At the end of life, heaven will not ask how much money you accumulated, how many titles you carried, or how many people applauded you. The ultimate question will be: "Did you fulfill why I sent you?" Jeremiah fulfilled his assignment. Paul finished his course (2 Timothy 4:7). Jesus completed His work (John 17:4). The challenge before every believer is not merely to exist, but to finish well. Your generation is waiting for what God deposited inside you before you entered your mother's womb. Do not die carrying your assignment. Live intentionally. Serve passionately. Finish faithfully. PRAYER LINES 🔥🔥🔥 🙏 Father, reveal Your purpose for my life with clarity and precision. 🙏 Every distraction from my divine assignment, scatter in Jesus' name. 🙏 Lord, align my desires with Your eternal counsel. 🙏 Grant me grace to finish my course and fulfill my destiny. 🙏 Every power fighting my purpose manifestation, be defeated by fire! 🙏 Father, let my life become a blessing to nations and generations. 🙏 May I never leave this earth until I have completed my divine mandate. #PurposefulLiving #DivineMandate #KingdomPurpose #CalledForImpact #DestinyMatters #FaithAndPurpose #LiveOnPurpose #KingdomAssignment #PurposeDrivenLife #FinishYourCourse #ChristianLeadership #TransformingLives #EternalImpact #MissionMinded #ForHisGlory 🔥🔥🔥

GOD BLESS YOU. LESSON: Romans 8:18-21 TOPIC: THE BURDEN BEFORE THE BREAKTHROUGH TEXT: For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now. Romans 8:22–23 (NKJV) INTRODUCTION: There is a dimension of God’s move that many desire… but few understand. We pray for breakthrough, we declare open doors, we fast for lifting… but we often ignore the burden that comes before it. Sometimes, what you are feeling is not pressure… it is a divine assignment forming within you. God does not release breakthroughs casually. He births them through burdened hearts. Be blessed and transformed by the word in Jesus powerful name. EXPOSITION: [1]. BURDEN IS THE SEED OF DIVINE ASSIGNMENT Nehemiah did not begin with building… he began with weeping (Nehemiah 1:4). Before God entrusts you with change, He allows you to feel what is broken. That discomfort you feel may not be weakness… it may be God's planting purpose. Many times, people pray for impact without understanding the process that produces it. God often places a holy burden upon those He intends to use. Moses felt the pain of Israel before becoming their deliverer. Esther carried the burden of her people before stepping into courage. A divine burden is Heaven’s way of awakening responsibility within a man. What continually troubles your spirit may be connected to your assignment. [2]. BURDEN ALIGN YOU WITH GOD'S HEART The Bible says, “Bear ye one another’s burdens” (Galatians 6:2). True burden is not self-centered… it connects you to God’s concern for others. When you carry what God cares about, you position yourself for divine backing. Jesus Himself was moved with compassion whenever He saw the suffering of people (Matthew 9:36). Compassion is often the doorway to ministry. A heart that feels nothing can change nothing. When your prayers move beyond “Lord bless me” into “Lord use me,” your spiritual life begins to mature. God entrusts power to people whose hearts reflect His love and concern for humanity. https://youtu.be/18QXq2pBAuk?si=E8X7BlogwN8SMlPr [3]. BREAKTHROUGH IS BORN THROUGH TRAVAIL Romans 8:22 reminds us that creation groans. Groaning is not a failure… it is a sign that something is about to be born. Every genuine breakthrough passes through a season of spiritual pressure. The pain of the travail is uncomfortable, but it is never meaningless. A woman in labor may cry, but her pain announces the arrival of life. In the same way, many believers abandon their process too early because they mistake pressure for abandonment. Sometimes, the season that feels the heaviest is the season closest to manifestation. God uses pressure to build endurance, deepen faith, and prepare His children for the breakthrough ahead. CONCLUSION: DO NOT RUN FROM THE BURDEN Do not run from the burden… lean into it. That heaviness may be the womb of your next level. Before God lifts a man publicly, He often breaks him privately. This brings us to the end of the message PRAYER: Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, grants us the grace to carry divine burdens without fainting. Align our hearts with Your purpose, and strengthen us in seasons of pressure. Let every burden we carry birth a testimony, and lead us into an undeniable breakthrough, in Jesus’ name. Amen. GOODWILL MESSAGE: May this week awaken purpose within you. May every silent burden turn into visible glory. Your breakthrough is closer than you think. HAPPY BLESSED SUNDAY HAVE A REWARDING WEEK . BURDEN OR NO BURDEN! JESUS IS COMING BACK AGAIN!!

TOPIC: WAITING FOR POWER: The Assignment is Not Over Yet. TEXT: But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth. Acts 1:8 (NKJV). INTRODUCTION: After the resurrection, Jesus did not immediately send His disciples out. It’s a bit surprising, if you think about it. The victory was already won. The grave was empty. The proof was there. Yet… He told them to wait. In a world that rushes results, God sometimes pauses His people. Not because nothing is happening, but because something deeper is being prepared. The period after resurrection was not an ending, it was a preparation ground. Be blessed by the word. EXPOSITION: [1] . RESURRECTION IS NOT THE END. No, resurrection is not the end, rather, It is a Beginning. Acts 1:3. Jesus appeared to them for forty days, speaking about the Kingdom of God. He didn’t just rise and disappear. He stayed. He taught. He revealed more. Sometimes we celebrate what God has done… and assume that is all. But resurrection opens a new chapter. There is more instruction, more clarity, more direction. What God starts, He intends to continue. [2] . OBEDIENCE IN THE WAITING SEASON. “Do not depart from Jerusalem, but wait…” Act 1: 4 This is where many struggle. Waiting feels unproductive. It feels slow. But their next level depended on their ability to stay where God told them. There is a kind of obedience that is not about movement… but about staying. Not every instruction is “go.” Some are “remain.” And maybe, that’s where someone is right now. [3] . POWER IS ESSENTIAL FOR THE ASSIGNMENT. “…you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you…” Acts 1:5, 8. As we may know, Power is the ability to make things happen. Jesus knew something: passion alone is not enough. Witnessing without power leads to frustration. Effort without empowerment leads to burnout. So He made them wait… until they were filled with power that enabled them to make things happen in their days. God will not send you empty into a calling that requires fullness. CONCLUSION: WAIT UPON THE LORD! The disciples had seen the risen Christ. That alone was powerful. But even that was not enough for what was ahead. So they waited. And in that waiting… power came. If God is asking you to pause, to stay, to wait… it is not punishment. It is preparation. PRAYER: Lord, give me the grace to wait when You say wait. Help me not to rush ahead of Your timing. Fill me with Your power, so I will not walk in emptiness. Prepare me for all You have called me to do, in Jesus’ name. Amen. GOODWILL MESSAGE: May you not miss your season of preparation. What God is about to release through you will require the strength He is building within you now. HAPPY BEAUTIFUL SUNDAY HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEK. WAITING FOR POWER OR NOT! JESUS IS COMING BACK AGAIN!!

The Danger of Ignoring Your Spiritual Mandate Every believer is born with a divine mandate—a purpose, assignment, and responsibility given by God. Your spiritual mandate is not optional; it is a heavenly instruction tied to your existence. Ignoring it is not just disobedience—it is dangerous, both spiritually and physically. Jeremiah 1:5 – “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.” Jonah 1:1–3 – The story of Jonah running from God’s assignment Ezekiel 3:18–19 – The responsibility of a watchman 1. What is a Spiritual Mandate? A spiritual mandate is: --- A God-given assignment --- A purpose tied to your destiny --- A responsibility to fulfill God’s will on earth 📖 Ephesians 2:10 – “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works…” You are not saved to sit—you are saved to serve. 2. The Reality of Divine Calling God calls individuals specifically: Moses – to deliver Israel (Exodus 3:10) Jeremiah – to be a prophet (Jeremiah 1:5) Paul – to preach to the Gentiles (Acts 9:15) 📖 Romans 11:29 – “For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.” This means: God does not withdraw your calling But you can ignore it—and suffer the consequences 3. The Dangers of Ignoring Your Spiritual Mandate A. You Invite Divine Disruption Jonah tried to escape God’s assignment. 📖 Jonah 1:4 – “But the Lord sent out a great wind into the sea…” Ignoring your mandate can lead to: * Confusion * Delays * Storms in life Some struggles are not attacks—they are corrections. B. You Lose Direction and Purpose 📖 Proverbs 29:18 – “Where there is no vision, the people perish…” Without alignment to your mandate: -- Life becomes empty -- Effort becomes unproductive -- You move, but without impact C. Others Suffer Because of Your Disobedience Jonah’s disobedience endangered innocent sailors. 📖 Jonah 1:5 – The mariners cried out in fear 📖 Ezekiel 3:18 – If you fail to warn the wicked, their blood is required at your hand Truth: Your assignment is not just about you—it affects others’ destinies. D. You Risk Missing Your Destiny 📖 1 Samuel 15:22–23 – “To obey is better than sacrifice…” King Saul lost his throne because he ignored divine instruction. Ignoring God repeatedly leads to: * Spiritual decline * Loss of divine favor Replacement (Esther 4:14 principle) E. You Experience Spiritual Dryness 📖 John 15:5–6 – Without abiding, you become unfruitful When you ignore your mandate: -- Prayer becomes dry -- Passion fades -- Sensitivity to God reduces 4. Why People Ignore Their Mandate ** Fear (Exodus 4:10 – Moses) ** Disobedience (Jonah 1:3) ** Distractions (Luke 10:40 – Martha) ** Worldly desires (2 Timothy 4:10 – Demas) 5. How to Align with Your Spiritual Mandate A. Seek God Intentionally 📖 Matthew 6:33 – Seek first the kingdom B. Develop Spiritual Sensitivity 📖 John 10:27 – My sheep hear my voice C. Obey Promptly 📖 James 1:22 – Be doers of the word D. Stay Consistent 📖 1 Corinthians 15:58 – Be steadfast and immovable E. Depend on the Holy Spirit 📖 Acts 1:8 – You shall receive power 6. Restoration is Possible Jonah eventually obeyed, and God restored him. 📖 Jonah 3:1 – “And the word of the Lord came unto Jonah the second time…” No matter how far you’ve gone: -- God still calls -- God still restores -- God still uses willing vessels Conclusion Ignoring your spiritual mandate is costly: * It affects your life * It affects others * It delays God’s agenda But obedience brings: - Fulfillment - Peace - Divine impact 📖 Acts 20:24 – “…that I might finish my course with joy…” Call to Action Ask yourself: What has God told me to do? What have I been postponing? Where have I been disobedient? Today is the day to return, realign, and respond. Prayer Points Lord, reveal my true spiritual mandate clearly. Father, forgive me for every act of disobedience. Holy Spirit, empower me to walk in obedience. Lord, restore every lost opportunity due to delay. Give me boldness to fulfill my divine assignment.

What Are You Busy Doing for God in Your Generation? Every generation has an assignment from God. God does not create people to merely exist; He creates them to serve His purpose within their generation. The critical question is not how busy you are, but what you are busy doing for God. Many people are active, yet irrelevant to God’s eternal agenda. David’s life gives us a clear benchmark: he served his generation according to the will of God. When his assignment was completed, heaven closed his chapter honorably. 1. BUSY DOES NOT ALWAYS MEAN PRODUCTIVE FOR GOD Luke 10:40–42 Martha was busy serving, yet Jesus said Mary chose the better part. You can be busy in church activities but absent from God’s purpose. Busy with programs, but not with prayer Busy with titles, but not with obedience Busy with crowds, but not with God God values obedience above activity. 2. EVERY GENERATION HAS A DIVINE ASSIGNMENT Esther 4:14 “Who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?” Esther was positioned strategically for her generation. Failure to act would not stop God’s plan, but it would disqualify her from relevance. If you refuse your assignment, God will raise another—but you will lose your place. 3. WHAT ARE YOU BUILDING FOR GOD? Genesis 6:9–22 While others were eating, drinking, and mocking, Noah was busy building the ark. Noah built while others played Noah prepared while others ignored God Noah labored for a future generation he would never see What spiritual ark are you building that will save others after you? 4. GOD REMEMBERS THOSE WHO LABOR FOR HIM Nehemiah 5:19 “Think upon me, my God, for good, according to all that I have done for this people.” God keeps records. He remembers: Faithful servants Hidden intercessors Kingdom builders Soul winners Nothing done sincerely for God is ever forgotten. 5. MANY ARE BUSY WITH EARTH, BUT EMPTY TOWARD HEAVEN Luke 12:16–21 – The Rich Fool He was busy expanding barns but ignored eternity. Success without God is failure in disguise. You can: ** Build houses and lose your soul ** Gain wealth and lose purpose ** Be known on earth but unknown in heaven Matthew 16:26 6. GOD EXPECTS RESULTS, NOT EXCUSES Matthew 25:14–30 – Parable of the Talents Each servant was given something. The issue was not how much, but what they did with it. God will ask: What did you do with the gift? Who did you serve? Whose life did you impact? Silence will not be an acceptable answer. 7. A GENERATION WILL RISE AND ASK QUESTIONS Judges 2:10 “There arose another generation… which knew not the LORD.” This is a tragic verdict on a previous generation that failed to transfer spiritual values. Responsibility: Your generation must not leave God unknown to the next. CONCLUSION Life is short. Generations pass quickly. Only what is done for God endures. 1 Corinthians 15:58 “Be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord…” One day your generation will close. Heaven will ask one question: “Did you serve your generation according to the will of God?” ALTAR CALL QUESTIONS What am I busy doing that has no eternal value? Am I serving God’s agenda or my comfort? If I die today, what spiritual evidence will remain? CLOSING PRAYER “Lord, deliver me from empty busyness. Align my life with Your purpose. Help me serve my generation according to Your will. Let my life count for eternity, in Jesus’ name. Amen.” Pastor Abiodun Kadri #ServeYourGeneration #KingdomAssignment #BusyForGod #PurposeDrivenLife #EternalImpact #LivingForGod #WhatAreYouBuilding #KingdomService #HeavenlyRecords #FinishWell

Winning Souls for Christ – Our Divine Assignment! Winning souls for Christ is not the job of only pastors, prophets, or evangelists—it is the calling of every believer. The moment you gave your life to Christ, you were commissioned as His ambassador on earth. Jesus did not save us just to go to heaven alone; He saved us to bring others with us. Proverbs 11:30 says: “The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and he that winneth souls is wise.” Soul-winning is not a suggestion. It is a command, a responsibility, and an expression of love. 1. WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO WIN SOULS? To win a soul is to bring someone from darkness into the light of Christ, from sin into salvation, from eternal separation into eternal life with God. Daniel 12:3 says: “And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.” Every soul matters to God. Jesus left the ninety-nine to find the one lost sheep (Luke 15:4). This is the heart of God toward the lost. If God values one soul so much, how much more should we? 2. THE GREAT COMMISSION – OUR MANDATE Matthew 28:19–20 "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you." This is not only for missionaries—it is for: * Students * Traders and business people * Engineers * Teachers * Parents * Youths Wherever you are, that is your mission field. Church is not a hiding place—it is a training ground. 3. WHY MUST WE WIN SOULS? Because hell is real – Matthew 25:41 Because Jesus died for all – John 3:16 Because time is short – Hebrews 9:27 Because we will give account – Ezekiel 3:18 Because heaven rejoices for one soul – Luke 15:7 If one soul gives heaven joy, then one soul must also matter to us. 4. HOW DO WE WIN SOULS FOR CHRIST? a) By Living It First Your life is the first sermon people read. Matthew 5:16 "Let your light so shine before men…" A holy and loving lifestyle opens hearts before your mouth speaks. b) By Telling the Gospel Simply You don’t need big grammar, only a big heart. Romans 10:14 "How shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard?" Share: What Jesus did for you Why you chose Him How they can come to Him c) By Praying for Souls Prayer softens hearts and opens doors. Colossians 4:3 "Praying… that God would open unto us a door of utterance." d) By Showing Love and Compassion People listen more to love than to noise. Jude 1:23 "Save with compassion, pulling them out of the fire." 5. REWARDS FOR SOUL WINNERS Eternal crown – 1 Thessalonians 2:19 Divine favor Heavenly stars – Daniel 12:3 Joy on earth and in heaven God’s approval When you win souls, you touch the heart of God. 6. BARRIERS THAT STOP SOUL-WINNING Fear of rejection Lack of boldness Love for comfort Lack of compassion Spiritual laziness But 2 Timothy 1:7 says: "God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power…” Fear is not your master—Christ is. 7. YOUR CONFESSION TODAY Say this prayer in your heart: “Lord Jesus, give me a heart for souls. Make me a light in darkness. Give me boldness, wisdom, and love to win many to Your kingdom. Use me as Your vessel, In Jesus’ name. Amen.” CONCLUSION You may not be a preacher in a pulpit yet, but you are already a preacher in your world. A true Christian is not known by how much Bible he knows, but by how many lives he influences for Christ. One day, someone will enter heaven and say: “Because you spoke to me, I am here.” Let that be your testimony. 1 Corinthians 9:22 "…That I might by all means save some." Now go and WIN SOULS FOR CHRIST!

Rescue the Perishing — A Call to Win Souls for Christ The heartbeat of God is the salvation of souls. From Genesis to Revelation, one theme rings loudly: God wants to save the lost. Every believer is called, commanded, and commissioned to bring sinners to Christ. We are saved to save others. We are delivered to deliver others. We are rescued to rescue the perishing. Proverbs 24:11 says, “Deliver those who are drawn toward death, and hold back those stumbling to the slaughter.” This is a divine assignment for all believers. 1. THE CONDITION OF THE PERISHING John 3:18 – “He who does not believe is condemned already.” The perishing are not just going to be condemned; they are condemned already. Sin has blinded them (2 Corinthians 4:4). They are walking in darkness (John 12:46). Their souls are at the edge of eternal destruction. The tragedy is not that they are sinners, but that no one is reaching out to them. If we keep quiet, souls will keep dying. 2. THE COMPASSION OF CHRIST Matthew 9:36 – “But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion…” Jesus did not just look at sinners — He felt for them. His compassion pushed Him into action. * He preached to them * He healed them * He loved them * He sought them out (Luke 19:10) When compassion fills your heart, evangelism becomes natural. We must ask God for a fresh burden for lost souls. 3. THE COMMISSION TO ALL BELIEVERS Mark 16:15 – “Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.” Soul winning is not a gift. Soul winning is not a calling for pastors alone. Soul winning is not optional. It is a command. Three truths every believer must know: A. We Are Christ’s Ambassadors (2 Corinthians 5:20) We represent Christ. We speak on His behalf. We plead with sinners: “Be reconciled to God!” B. We Are Watchmen (Ezekiel 3:17–18) If we fail to warn the wicked and they perish, their blood will be required from us. C. We Are Light in Darkness (Matthew 5:14–16) Light is useless if hidden. Our faith must lead others to Christ. 4. WHY WE MUST RESCUE THE PERISHING A. Because Hell is Real (Luke 16:23–24) A place of torment, regret, and eternal separation from God. B. Because Time is Short (Romans 13:11) Every minute a soul goes into eternity — saved or lost. C. Because Heaven Rejoices Over One Soul (Luke 15:7) Every soul matters to God. Every soul is worth heaven’s celebration. D. Because Someone Once Helped Us We are saved today because someone preached, prayed, or invited us. We owe this generation the gospel. 5. HOW TO RESCUE THE PERISHING A. Pray for Souls (Romans 10:1) Every revival begins on the prayer altar. B. Preach the Gospel (Romans 1:16) Share the message of Christ boldly and lovingly. C. Live as a Witness (Matthew 5:16) Your lifestyle can draw or push people from Christ. D. Go after the Lost Intentionally (Luke 14:23) “Compel them to come in.” E. Use Every Tool Available * Social media * Tracts * Phone calls * Personal conversation * Crusades * House-to-house evangelism * Invitations to church Nothing must be wasted. 6. THE REWARD FOR SOUL WINNERS A. Divine Wisdom (Proverbs 11:30) “He that wins souls is wise.” B. Stars in Your Crown (Daniel 12:3) You will shine forever. C. Divine Provision (Luke 22:35) Soul winners never lack. D. God’s Special Presence (Matthew 28:20) “I am with you always…” Nothing attracts God like rescuing the perishing. Souls are dying. Hell is enlarging itself. Heaven is waiting. And Christ is asking: “Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?” (Isaiah 6:8) Will you answer the call today? Let this be your declaration: “Lord, make me a soul winner. Use me to rescue the perishing.” ALTAR CALL If you are not born again, Jesus is calling you now. Accept Him, and join the army that rescues others.
