TOPIC: AN IRREPLACEABLE LOSS
SCRIPTURE: Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
JOHN 15:16
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Every time a soul is lost to hell, it is an irreplaceable loss to God.
I read a story from a man of God, an American evangelist named Raymond A. Torrey. He was one of those ancient people who wrote very powerfully on prayer. He went to a restaurant to eat with some people in the USA.
The restaurant was like an à la carte restaurant where they had to prepare the food on order. While they were waiting for the meal, the Holy Ghost quickened in his heart several times to preach to a particular waiter. But you know the way many of us feel at times when we have the prompting to preach in a public place.
So, he thought, “How can I just start preaching to someone in a restaurant?” Eventually, the food was served.
After about thirty to forty minutes, he was done eating, only to realize that a tragedy had happened in that restaurant. What happened? Someone had gone behind the kitchen of the restaurant and committed suicide. And guess who the person was? It was the same waiter that the Lord prompted Torrey to preach to. He was at the brink of death, having planned to commit suicide, God saw it, prompted Torrey, but he was hesitant. Torrey could never recover from that experience for life. He was the one who told the story himself.
Beloved, every human being carries a deposit of God. So, every time a soul is lost in hell, it is an irreplaceable loss to God. Please do not watch a sinner on his way to hell and leave him. Preach the Word of God to that sinner, but if you cannot preach, invite the person to church so he can hear the preaching. You may be the one to redirect that person from hell to heaven.
If you attend to what is close to the heart of God, God will attend to what is close to your heart. And God’s heartbeat is to see souls saved. If you occasion joy in heaven, no devil on earth can prevent Heaven from making joy to happen in your life (Luke 15:7).
REMEMBER THIS: Every time a soul is lost to hell, it is an irreplaceable loss to God.
ASSIGNMENTS:
1. Live right, and endeavor to preach to at least one soul a week. Remember to invite someone to church.
2. Do not hesitate to preach the Word especially when you have a prompting by the Holy Ghost.
3. Pray for the salvation of the lost.
PRAYER: Lord, I receive the grace to be passionate about soul winning. Deliver those who have been enslaved by the bondage of sin and bring them to Your saving Light Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
