SEEDS OF DESTINY
A DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE BY DR PASTOR PAUL ENENCHE (DUNAMIS INTERNATIONAL GOSPEL CENTRE)
TOPIC: THE BENEFIT OF SOUL WINNING
DATE: WEDNESDAY 26 MAY, 2021
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: Commitment to meeting the needs of God will provoke God’s commitment to meeting the needs of man.*
Soul winning has been established in our previous study to be a dimension or aspect of dedication to God.
Today, we shall be looking at the benefit of soul-winning. One of the benefits of soul winning is answered prayer.
John 15:16 says,
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.
In Luke 5:1-5, we read the story of how Peter toiled all night and caught nothing. Then, he gave his fishing boat to Jesus so Jesus could preach from it to the crowd on the seashore. And as Jesus preached from it and souls were touched, He returned to Peter and caused Peter to see the desires of his heart which was the catching of fishes to a net-breaking level.
Please understand these two things:
1. Commitment to meeting the needs of God will provoke God’s commitment to meeting the needs of man at the place of prayer.
What is the need of God? He doesn’t want any soul to be lost (2 Peter 3:9). Commitment to meeting the needs of God will provoke God’s commitment to meeting the needs of man.
2. The place of soul winning is a platform for answered prayers.
Jesus makes it clear that whatsoever you ask the Father in His Name, He will do it (John 15:16). As you bear fruit, God answers your prayers.
Remember this: Commitment to meeting the needs of God will provoke God’s commitment to meeting the needs of man.
ASSIGNMENTS:
1. Make up your mind to win souls for God.
2. Talk about Jesus to the unbelievers in your neighbourhood and at your place of work.
PRAYER: Thank You Lord for Your Word to me today. I receive the grace to win souls, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

QUOTE: Do not just attend church and watch what happens. Do not just sit in church only as a miracle recipient. Be an active participant, not a spectator, not an observer. Be involved. Culled from “15 KINGDOM STRATEGIES FOR SURVIVAL” by Dr Paul Enenche.
DAILY READING: Psalm 52-54
REFLECTION: Are there things you have been trusting God to do for you? Are there prayers that appear to have been unanswered for you all this while? The place of soul winning is a place of answered prayer.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION/WORD: As you hit the road in the Kingdom assignment, your personal fulfilment is released in Jesus’ Name.
