“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” (Daniel 12:3 KJV).
I recall someone asking me many years ago, “What job do you do?” Very quickly, I answered, "I'm into soul development." He was startled and didn't know what that meant. But that term, "soul development", is exactly what we do. As a Christian, especially a soul winner, don't ever let anyone talk you down or suggest you're without a job.
You're doing the greatest, most important work in the world: turning men from darkness to light and training them in righteousness. That's the true meaning of soul development. The Bible says, "They that turn many to righteousness shall shine as the stars forever" (Daniel 12:3). Why? Because those you win become trees of righteousness, which the Bible calls “...the planting of the LORD, that He might be glorified" (Isaiah 61:3).
There are all kinds of trees, but when you win souls to Christ, you raise trees of righteousness. This is why our work is so glorious. It's divine! There's no higher calling. God's number one job is soul winning. That's why He sent the Lord Jesus. The Bible says, "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son..." (John 3:16). He gave His best to win the whole world.
Always think and strategize with the Spirit on what more you can do with regard to soul winning. Your daily passion and pursuit should be about how else you can reach more souls. Everything you do, your excellence, ideas and innovations should revolve around this one thing: soul development. This is your calling, your purpose, and your ministry. Praise God!
PRAYER/CONFESSION
"Dear Father, I thank you for the inspiration through your Word and the Spirit. I’m spiritually alert and responsive to your guidance. I function beyond the senses. I recognise your voice and follow your instructions without doubt or delay. I’m a soul winner, led by your Spirit always, in Jesus’ Name. Amen."
