HIS FOCUS IS HUMAN SOULS
For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost (Matthew 18:11).
The most important thing to God is human souls. It’s the reason Jesus came and gave His life. The Bible says, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). He didn’t come for the redemption of the mountains, hills and beautiful vegetation of the world. These creations, while majestic and valuable to God, were not the focus of His sacrificial mission. He came to save human beings— men, women, boys and girls!
His life, death, and resurrection were all centred on the salvation of mankind. This act of love underscores the immense value God places on each person. We must have that in our hearts and live always with the consciousness that every human being is important to God.
If you live with this understanding, it’ll shape your interactions, decisions, and priorities. It’ll drive you to live purposefully, knowing that according to the Scriptures, there’s a definite number of souls that must be won to the Lord before the Rapture of the Church. Therefore, evangelism becomes your heartbeat and lifestyle.
Remain passionate and fervent in sharing the Gospel with others. Put your time, energy and resources into it. Recognize the intrinsic value of every soul and be determined to see them fulfil God’s destiny for them. Pray earnestly for the salvation of souls around the world.
Remember, the Bible says, “God is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:9). So, in addition to fervently and radically preaching the Gospel, intercede for those who haven’t yet known the Lord that the light of the glorious Gospel of Christ will shine unto them for their salvation, prevailing over darkness, idolatry and deception. Hallelujah!
PRAYER
Dear Father, as your children around the world go forth preaching the Gospel today, men’s hearts are open to receive the message for their salvation; they’re delivered from Satan’s dominion into God’s Kingdom. I declare that in every nation in the earth, every resistance to the Gospel is broken, and the light of the glorious Gospel of Christ shines brightly into the hearts of men, women, boys and girls for a great harvest of souls into the Kingdom, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
