In his short message on Passion for souls, he made the following points
John 15:8 – God wants us to be fruitful. One of the areas we are fruitful as believers is in the area of soul-winning
Being fruitful brings pleasure to God
John 15:16 – God wants us to bear fruits and wants our fruit to remain. This means God wants the souls we win to be established and remain in him.
There are blessings and rewards that come with being a soul winnder
Reasons For Soul Winning – Why Should We Be Soul Winners?
1. Soul wining is the heartbeat of God
A person cannot be passionate for God without being passionate about what God is passionate about – Souls
John 3:16
What is that thing that you can give up to ensure souls are saved?
2. It is the great commission – Matthew 28:18-20, 20:16
God does not want anyone to go to hell, so God is sending us as believers to the ends of the earth.
God has given us a mandate, an instruction to win souls.
The great commission is an instruction and not a suggestion
Wherever you are be a soul winner, be an heaven influencer.
3. God has called and created us for the good work of winning souls – Ephesians 2:10
You were saved so others can be saved
Once we are saved, we don’t get raptured immediately because God want’s us to get engaged in the work of winning souls and reconciling people back to him.
4. It gives joy and energizes the believer – Luke 10:1-3, 17
There is a joy that comes with soul-winning
There is a joy that comes when we fulfill purpose
soul-winning is the purpose of the believer
5. It earns you the right to kingdom promotion – Luke 19:17
There are certain things that God will not allow to happen to soul winners
One of this is that a soul winner cannot die untimely

In the short exhortation He gave, he made mention of the following important points
1. You must be born again – John 3:3
The foundation of being passionate for souls is that you must be born again. This is because you cannot give what you don’t have.
2. You need to have a relationship with God
Relationship with God is key.
It supercedes mere religion or being a church worker or just being nice to people. it’s about a personal relationship with God.
It is in the place of personal relationship that God speaks to us.
Walking with God is far more important than working for God.
John 3:3-8
3. You need to be passionate for God – Mark 12:30
You cannot be passionate about souls if you are not passionate about God
Everything about you has to revolve around God. You must come to that place where you are “fanatical” about God.
4. Be Passionate about your local assembly
Be a brand ambassador of Shouts of Grace Center (your local assembly)
Be proud of your church
Push your church at people
Luke 16:12
5. Be an Intercessor – Genesis 18:20-30
Pray for the unreached, pray for those who have not been saved.
You have to conquer in the spirit through prayers before you go out for outreach or evangelism.
Don’t write off anybody, no one is beyond saving.
Jesus died for every man. The blood of Jesus should not waste over anybody so it’s important we intercede regularly for souls.
1. Do not pass the night in his house If you do, you can end up pleasing him and offending God. Losing God’s support and favor is not what anybody should experience
2. Do not succumb to any sexual pressures Stay sane. Stay strong. Do not melt like stew every time someone touches you. You are not a sexual toy. You are not a sexual object. Relationships that are sex driven do not last.
3.Do not double date Don’t welcome deception into your heart. It is a dangerous visitor. The capacity to cheat on him or her is a capacity that ends in destruction. Be faithful.
4. Do not fall into comparison traps We are all unique. We will not all take off at the same time and sure enough arrival points will be different.
2Co 10:12 (KJV) For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.
5. Do not sow seed of bitterness Avoid use of wrong words. Words are spirits! Let go of abusive words, vulgar words and curse words. Speak healthy words
6. Encourage him in that which is good Be an encourager. Be a helper. Seek his advancement.
7. Seek God together and for each other Pray a lot for him. Seek for God and do it with all your heart.
Jer 29:13 (KJV) And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
8. Pay attention to your spiritual life Grow. Read. Learn. Serve.
Ask questions when you are in the presence of great people.
9. Get a mentor over your relationship. Mentors will fence off tormentors of destinies. Stay connected.
10. Avoid strife completely Strife ushers in dryness. Avoid it like a plague. Confusion lies on the bosom of strife.
Jas 3:16 (KJV) For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
May God grant more understanding on how to love God.
