"When people talk about winning souls these days, I feel absolutely concerned for the so-called souls. It looks to me like a lion on a breakfast mission, in search for his hunt; he hides behind the grass for an unwise lamb that would wander away from the herd in search of fresh grass. This will be an easy catch and good feast for the lion’s plate,"
When
I hear these people talk about winning souls, I feel sorry for the
souls who have no idea of what they are getting into. It sometimes
sounds to me like blood-thirty people desperate to count the number of
innocent, ignorant people who will give their blood to be sucked. These
souls are classified, as those who are needy, can undoubtedly gullible
in their search for solutions and wanting to identify or belong to a
community.
These
souls are caught when they are most vulnerable maybe they have lost a
loved one, in a bad relationship with their parents or family, in need
of healing or desperate for a change. At this point they will give
anything and do anything without a second thought.
When
caught by the wrong hands, they will start running in a wheel.
Initially, the souls will be treated with some measure of care, so they
do not detach. This will be short lived to prepare them to be trained as
unconscious servants. Once the attachment is built, they would start
attending endless meetings till they begin to be unavailable for their
loved ones and disassociate from their families over time. These souls
will eventually give their energy away and with time they begin to feel
tired, unhappy, sick, financially drained and depleted. Unknown to them,
this new community and friends maybe superficial. The souls might
observe that sweet and bitter method of sucking their blood has
gradually robbed them of their self worth. They might realize they have
given their energy to somebody else and they are now hanging in the
spider's web.
They
are tied up with daily and weekly responsibilities but if you look
closely, their main leader is seating in a place of convenience by
handling brief monthly meetings (not weekly) or occasional gatherings.
When
I hear about souls, I have sympathy for those who give their blood to
be sucked. They are simply prey to be used as objects in some people's
game. Incidentally, some of these souls have become wiser in seeking the
opportunity to reap the reaper in his own game, like the buffalo who
challenges the tiger.
Mt 7:21-23
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’
An
aggressive soul winner is hungry like a hunter; he goes with all manner
of tools and uses different technique to capture his prey.
An
aggressive soul winner is like a fisherman who uses a net. This method
of fishing is solely for material or commercial purposes. On the other
hand a fish can also be caught by using a fishing rod with baits or
lures impaled on the hooks to entice any fish that venture near to bite
off the attractive bait. Unfortunately, if caught by a commercial
fisherman the fish is not going anywhere after all that effort, it must
be eaten. However, if caught by a hobbyist, he will admire the fish and
put it back where it belongs, in its natural habitat. Thank God for
regulatory organizations helping to stop brutal killings of animals
whether on land or sea.
Soul
winning alone will not take you to heaven; you win a soul by living the
God life and your personal interest in bringing somebody to the
knowledge of Christ. You have to be in a good frame of mind first, not
under fear or compulsion that if you do not win souls you will go to
hell. There should be no ulterior motives like getting the soul’s money
eventually, you want a position or seeking to be rewarded with treats or
awards. There are people who reach out to others daily not for any
earthly reward or to direct the souls to their own churches, for
benefits or for any selfish reason. These people recommend and make
available other authors, ministers and local assemblies for the interest
of the soul alone.
Every
man should learn to take care of himself first. He should learn to use
his initiative and study for himself otherwise he might become
somebody’s big catch or ‘meat’. At that point he would have no one to
blame.
I have written this for those who have asked me questions on soul winning and their fears.
"And many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. Because
of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but the
one who stands firm to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the
kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all
nations, and then the end will come." Mat 24:11-14"But
mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will
be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive,
disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love,
unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the
good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than
lovers of God— having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have
nothing to do with such people."
2 Tim3:1-5.
