SOW LOVE

How to win souls?

Sow LOVE whether you feel like doing it or not. Sow whether the recipient is worthy of it or not. Sow whether it is convenient to you or not. Sow even when it means losing something. Sow even when Lucifer comes to block your way. Sow irrespective of whether you will succeed or fail. Sow in season and out of season.

Teach everyone to conform to the kingdom way and be kingdom-fit.

Desire LOVE, think LOVE, embrace LOVE, eat LOVE, speak LOVE, breathe LOVE, exude LOVE...

God said, “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you love one another.” (John 13:34-35)

“Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children, and live a life of love, just as the Messiah loved us…” says Ephesians 5:1-2.

Focusing on saving the rich or raising funds, or proselytizing, or reformatting the personality of your target souls is not soul-winning.

The task is to be fruitful in love (Isaiah 27:6). Sow LOVE so that your target souls may receive it in full measure from you, be affected by it, and be moved to open their hearts to the Holy Spirit.

If they ask why you are doing it, say: that you may magnify your God and Savior, who created you to love and be loved. And say: “All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God. For we who are alive are always given over to death for Y’shua’s sake, so that His life may be revealed in our mortal body. So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you.” (2 Corinthians 4:15, 11-12)

¹⁸ All this is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through the Messiah and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: ¹⁹ that God was reconciling the world to Himself in the Messiah, not counting men’s sins against them. 2 CORINTHIANS 5

⁶ He has enabled us to be ministers of His New Covenant. This is a covenant not of written laws, but of the Spirit. The old written covenant ends in death; but under the New Covenant, the Spirit gives life. 2 CORINTHIANS 3 nlt

The task does not include criticizing, accusing or condemning anyone for his infirmity, weakness, fault or wrongdoing. So do not put down anyone or call him names, or worse, tear him down. Do not nag or scold or embarrass him, moreso subject him to fists of steel. None of it will solve his problem. Strictly speaking you are not after his person or soul but after his spirit. Open his spirit for indwelling, for it to be born again, because only through Spirit-empowerment can his infirmities, weaknesses, faults and wrongdoings be licked.

Our Christian responsibility is to edify (build up in LOVE) everyone within our sphere of influence.

We sow LOVE as much as we can, in as many fields as possible. We sow it hand in hand with the truth. We spare our neighbors from spiritual disinformation and conflict.

¹⁴ Cultivate your neighbors as far as you can. ECCLESIASTICUS 10

We focus on the harvest, not on the cost.

⁶ Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. 2 CORINTHIANS 9

¹⁸ I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. ROMANS 8

We don’t have to perform spectacular feats. In most situations, little acts of love will do. A gentle pat, a sincere handshake, a warm greeting or embrace here and there, a short pause for fellowship, an attentive, sympathetic ear... an intercessory prayer, a Word of God aptly said… might be all that is necessary.

⁸ Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. 1 PETER 4 

²² Love one another deeply, from the heart. 1 PETER 1

⁸ Do not owe anyone anything, except [the continuing debt] to love one another. ROMANS 13 cjb

In doing rescue work, people and churches might praise us and idolize us. We should not bask in it or allow it. The honor and glory that belongs to God must never be misappropriated.

⁵ For we do not preach ourselves, but Y’shua the Messiah as Lord… ⁷ We have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. 2 CORINTHIANS 4

²⁴ Remember that… the Master you are serving is the Messiah. COLOSSIANS 3 nlt

¹⁷ Whatever you do or say, let it be as a representative of the Lord Y’shua. COLOSSIANS 3 tlb

The Faithful Bondslave

⁴⁵ Are you a wise and faithful servant? Have I given you the task of managing My household, to feed My children day by day? ⁴⁶ Blessings on you if I return and find you faithfully doing your work. ⁴⁷ I will put such faithful ones in charge of everything I own!  ⁴⁸ But if you are evil and say to yourself, “My Lord won’t be coming for a while,” ⁴⁹ and begin oppressing your fellow servants, partying and getting drunk, ⁵⁰ your Lord will arrive unannounced and unexpected, ⁵¹ and severely whip you and send you off to the Judgment of the hypocrites; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. MATTHEW 24 tlb
