A wise Soul winner
Memory Verse: - Pr 11:30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.
Bible Reading: - Luke 20: 1 – 47
Message
A person is wise if he applies the acquired knowledge rightly; hence wisdom is the right application of knowledge and the scripture says he that winneth soul over to the Lord is wise. Jesus has the gift of words of knowledge and wisdom operating in his life because he was anointed without measure.
In our text today the chief priests, scribes and elders came upon Jesus while the was somewhere teaching and preaching the gospel to the people demanding to know the authority he has to do all the good things he was doing. They voiced out and show their true figure of jealousy and envy when they could no longer contain it.
By coming together and asking him the same question shows their oneness in evil and we must be wiser than them by being of the mind as believers minding and speaking the same thing, which is possible if we all seek Christ in a right way for he is one and the only mediator between man and God; he is not divided and holy spirit our guide and teacher is the same. If you are speaking and teaching things contrary to that of Christ, then you are against him like the scribes, chief priests and elders.
Christ’s reasoning and the way he responded to their question silenced these wicked set of people and we must tarry and get the same gifts as he had promised us without which we cannot convince the sinners out there who has been indoctrinated somehow.
Gift of words of knowledge enables our Lord to know the right answer to their question and the gift of words of wisdom guides him in applying his knowledge rightly.
A soul winner must be vast in the knowledge of the scripture and be baptized in the Holy Spirit for these gift to be in manifestation in his life.
He that winneth soul is wise, and if you lack this you seek the face of God for it and you will surely be given for it is written that:
If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him [Jas 1:5]
Pr 4:7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.
Read the scriptures patiently, meditatively and prayerfully for better comprehension and ask for wisdom of God to apply it rightly to your life and to those around you; so as to draw them to Christ.
Confession of the Day
I will prayerfully read the word, apply it to my life and convincingly preach it to the sinners out there with the aim of winning them over to the Lord.
Prayer Points
Help me Lord to follow in your steps and preach you everywhere I go and grant me wisdom to do it right.

STERLING LEADERSHIP

D.C.L.M. DAILY   MANNA WEDNESDAY 9TH MAY, 2018 STERLING LEADERSHIP TEXT: GENESIS 47:13-31 KEY VERSE: “And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let us find grace in the sight of my lord, and we shall be Pharaoh’s servants” (GENESIS 47:25). “No one needs aspire to leadership in the work of God who is not willing to pay the price greater than his/her contemporaries and colleagues are willing to pay. The more effective the leader is, the higher the price to be paid”, said J Oswald. Joseph stands out as an enduring proof of what the grace of God can do for a perfect, upright and diligent child of God. The expected season of the lean kine finally came. Pharaoh was prepared only because of Joseph’s astuteness in the management of the trust conferred upon him. He started to alleviate the suffering of masses by exchanging corn for money, then corn for land. In an uncanny display of shrewdness, he ultimately transferred the national wealth and citizens to the crown and saved ...

WELL OF LIFE

March 3 WELL OF LIFE The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life . . . . — PROVERBS 10:11 Immediately after the birth of our son and daughter, I took those little ones into my hands and said, “Lord, I thank You for this child. Because I know the Bible, I realize it is my responsibility to train up this child in the way it should go, and when it is old, it will not depart from it. “I realize Your Word says to bring our children up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, and I’m going to do that. I know that children are taught in two ways: By precept and by example. So I’m going to live right in front of this child. I will set the right example. Then, too, I know that you can have what you say, so I say over this child that it will grow up strong physically, without sickness and without disease; it will be alert mentally; and stalwart spiritually.” Our children grew up without sickness and disease. I never prayed a prayer that they would be saved. I never prayed a prayer that they...

PARALYZED

April 15 PARALYZED Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil. — HEBREWS 2:14 . . . That He might paralyse him that held the dominion of death, That is the Adversary. — HEBREWS 2:14 (Rotherham) Jesus put to naught the hosts of darkness! He paralyzed their deathdealing power! And when Jesus met John the Revelator on the Isle of Patmos, Jesus said, “I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death” (Rev. 1:18). Keys represent authority. Jesus conquered Satan and stripped him of his authority. Jesus was the Master of all hell! But Jesus did not conquer Satan for Himself. He conquered him for us. It was as though you and I personally had met Satan and had conquered him, stripped him of his authority, and stood as master over him. Confession: Jesus is my Head. Jesus i...
