YOU MUST BE A SOUL WINNER TODAY AND OVERCOME THE SIN OF PROCRASTINATION

YOU MUST BE A SOUL WINNER TODAY AND OVERCOME THE SIN OF PROCRASTINATION
Scripture: Exodus 8:9-10
Topic: You Must Be A Soul Winner Today And Overcome The Sin Of Procrastination

"And Moses said unto Pharaoh, Glory over me: when shall I intreat for thee, and for thy servants, and for thy people, to destroy the frogs from thee and thy houses, that they may remain in the river only? And he said, tomorrow..."
Exodus 8:9-10

Pharaoh could have been set free from the frogs on that very day but he asked that the frogs be taken on the morrow. How strange it is that we put off important things to a later time when we could do them immediately. The cardinal enemy of all evangelism and outreach is the demon of procrastination. Outreach is often postponed and put off till later. Some people go as far as cancelling their scheduled outreach programmes. "I will witness to him tomorrow," they say. "We will do a crusade next year; after all, there are other pressing problems to deal with." 

Years ago, I learnt something very important from a Full Gospel Businessmen's Fellowship meeting. I was invited to be the main speaker at a breakfast meeting. When I finished ministering, I sat down on stage as they concluded the meeting with some announcements. One of the announcements struck me and the Lord spoke to me at that moment. They announced that their next outreach was to be held in a month's time.

Right there, the Lord showed me that these people had planned a rigid schedule of monthly outreaches that were not negotiable. They were not negotiable in the sense that they could not be postponed or cancelled. The speakers for their meetings were sometimes scheduled a year in advance. Whether there was a tidal wave, economic upheaval or a political earthquake, the outreach was going to come on. From that moment, I became convinced that fixing an inflexible monthly outreach for every fellowship and ministry in my church was the way forward.

There are many cares and problems of this life. Many people are struggling to pay school fees, build houses and buy food to eat. Many people have marital problems and do not know how peace is going to come to their homes. They say, "How can I think of evangelism when I have so many problems?"

"And the cares of this world...choke the word..."
Mark 4:19

Dear Christian friend, do not let the cares of this world choke the call of God on your life. I see you rising up in spite of every weight and difficulty in your life! He that winneth souls is wise! Be wise now! Win a soul today! The soul you bring to the Lord may become a blessing to you in different ways!

"...he that winneth souls is wise."
Proverbs 11:30

"No reserves, no regrets, no retreats." -William Borden
