Today's memory verse reveals that God saved your soul primarily so that He can save others through you. You are a co-labourer with Christ in the vast field of the earth. Sadly, many people want God to enlarge them, but they are not expanding His kingdom. While it is good to pray for God to enlarge you, one area that must be enlarged in your life is your capacity to win souls and bear fruit. God indeed wants to enlarge you; however, it is not just for your enjoyment but so that you can reach more people for Him. I will discuss more on the need to ask God to enlarge your coast tomorrow.

There are numerous benefits of soul-winning. One of them is that your prayers will not be hindered. When you bear fruit and your fruit abides, you can ask anything in Jesus' name, and the Father will respond speedily to your request. In today's memory verse, Jesus said that when you bring forth fruit, and it remains, whatever you ask the Father in His name will be given to you. Soul winners have a blank cheque from God; whenever they go before Him to ask for the things they desire, they can go with so much confidence because He will not deny their requests.

There was once a soldier who had suffered a bullet wound that had broken the bones of one of his legs. The doctors had to fix a piece of iron in the broken leg to help him walk with it. The injury and the iron made walking painful and difficult for him. However, despite the pain, he usually set aside a day of the week to go out and evangelise. On one of those days, he was out from morning until evening, preaching the gospel. When he returned home, the pain in his leg became unbearable. He turned to God and said, "Lord, I wish this pain would go away so that I can serve you better." Thereafter, he fell asleep. When he awoke, the piece of iron inside his broken leg was lying on the bed beside him, yet there was no drop of blood on the bed. While he slept, God performed a divine operation on his leg and restored it completely!

Beloved, do you desire instant and consistent answers to your prayers? Make evangelism your lifestyle; be addicted to winning souls for Jesus, and He will beautify your life with many wonderful testimonies.

RCCG Hymn

To the work! to the work! we are servants of God

  1. To the work! to the work! we are servants of God,
    Let us follow the path that our Master has trod;
    With the balm of His counsel our strength to renew.
    Let us do with our might what our hands find to do.

    2. Toiling on, toiling on.
    Toiling on, toiling on.
    Let us hope, let us watch,
    And labour till the Master comes.


  2. To the work! to the work! let the hungry be fed,
    To the fountain of life let the weary be led!
    In the cross and its banner our glory shall be.
    While we herald the tidings, "Salvation is free!"
  3. To the work! to the work! there is labour for all.
    For the kingdom of darkness, and error shall fall;
    And the name of Jehovah exalted shall be.
    In the loud-swelling chorus, "Salvation is free!"
  4. To the work! to the work! in the strength of the Lord,
    And a robe and a crown shall our labour reward.
    When the home of the faithful our dwelling shall be.
    And we shout with the ransomed, "Salvation is free!
