1. When Jesus came into the earth there were a lot of political, social, economic problems. Israel expected a political saviour and all the possible solutions, but Jesus the Christ knew that his priority was the salvation of the human heart. #SoulWinning

2. The quality of our world will never be better than the quality of man. Man was created to have dominion but when he rebelled against God, something went wrong. Something went wrong with the world because something went wrong with the man. #SoulWinning

3. The redemption of the man is the redemption of creation. Jesus went for the Man: “Follow me and I will make you fishers of men – I will give you capacity to catch men; to influence men.” #SoulWinning

4. Influencing men is the greatest assignment on this planet (Matt 4:19). When you are a true follower of Christ you will prioritize the transformation of human beings. #SoulWinning

5. When you are a true follower of Christ whatever your vocation is on this planet, influencing men to be godly, to be free from the nature of sin and to the have the nature of God will be your priority. #SoulWinning

6. The impact that you make on human lives will last till eternity. What an investment! Paul says the love of Christ compels and drives us – if one person died; he died on behalf of everybody’’. #SoulWinning

7. Paul says in 2Cor. 5:16-17 (NIV); “So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come. The old has gone, the new is here!” #SoulWinning

8. If you are a true follower of Christ, you will prioritize the transformation of the human soul. There is no greater miracle than for a person to lose the nature of sin that he was born with and to take on the nature of God. #SoulWinning

9. Sin is a nature. We are not sinners because we sin; we sin because we are sinners. Sinning is natural for every human being born on this planet. #SoulWinning

10. So Jesus said to Nicodemus in John 3, you inherited a sin nature. Except a man is born again, he cannot inherit the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is Spirit. #SoulWinning

11. Jesus told him that he must be born of the Spirit. In John 8, Jesus told the people of his day that, “ you are true children of your father – the devil” (John 8:44). So if any man be in Christ he is a new creature, the old nature has passed away. #SoulWinning

12. On the outside you look the same but on the inside, there is a transformation. As the nature of God grows within us, we are transformed into being like God, thinking like God. We have capacity for love, forgiveness and Joy. #SoulWinning

13. Now that our relationship with God is on course, we have a responsibility to help others achieve this standing with God; reconciling them to God (2Cor. 5:18-19). #SoulWinning

14. We’ll draw on a story in the bible in John 4, a conversation that typically would not have happened between Jesus and a Samaritan woman. We have to share the good news with others, to do this, we must do the following: #SoulWinning

15. Build bridges to be able to get across to them. When your heart is filled with the love of God, you must let go of your prejudices. So, will you be the one to build bridges to reach across to people who don’t belong to your tribe, race or class? #SoulWinning

16. Engage people. Jesus initiated a conversation with the woman at the well despite the existing prejudices. #SoulWinning

17. Start from their point of focus or areas of interest. Water was the main focus of that woman; Jesus started from that point. Talk with strangers on topics that are important to them. Get into their world. #SoulWinning

18. Christ touched on her pain point; it was marriage, and from there he ultimately turned her focus to God. We need to be interested in people and be good listeners in order to know their pain points. #SoulWinning

19. I prophesy in the name of Jesus Christ that as you commit to sharing the Good news of freedom from sin with others, the power of the Holy Spirit will come on you, every time you speak, the spirit of God will fill you and the power of God will be activated. #SoulWinning

20. The Gifts of the spirit will operate through you. I pray that as you take care of other people’s lives, restoring them to God, the power of God will perfect everything that has to do with you. The day we will stand before God, it will be a joyful day for you. #SoulWinning
