Soul Winning or Ministry - Is there a difference? - (part 4)

Are you an agent of Satan?
Wow!  What a question!  How dare you ask me that?  Well, friend, when I ran across this quote, I messed me up.

In the book This Day With God, Page 171, the author has this incredible quote:

"The destruction of souls is the regular employment of Satan and his agents upon the earth. The salvation of souls is the work of every follower of Christ, however weak. When [a man’s or woman's] selfish interest is made first and the salvation of souls comes secondary, if at all, that man is working on Satan’s side, ...

Wow! That means if you put your own selfish interests before working on soul winning, you are working with Satan??  Well, remember when the preaching said that we need to be saving souls, and you said "AMEN?"  Ahh, so then, if you are not putting soul winning at the top of the list, like Jesus did, then you are only professing to be a follower of Christ.  That's what the quote says!!

Why?  What's the big deal?
The quote continues:

"...for his very pretensions are a snare to lead others off the track, that they shall not consider the kingdom of God and His righteousness first. Satan is getting the start of all such workers. The salvation of souls comes first, always, for Satan as a roaring lion walketh about seeking whom he may devour. We must snatch souls away from his path. We must have clear foresight, discernment, and faith, and work as if to save a perishing life, of which some carelessness on our part might be the cause of death."

A true disciple is always concerned about soul winning and looking at ways to win souls.  Doesn't matter if one is at work, in the store, in the community, playing basketball, getting your hair done, etc...   A soul winning is always thinking of how I can reach the person in my path for Jesus.  But just think about it is not enough.  We must do something about it.

Ministry is critical, but it does not end there.  You've only done a half job if you stop at ministering alone.  Take it all the way to soul winning as your spiritual goal!

How can you get involved with soul winning?
