How To Lead A Soul To Christ?

Soul-winning is the heartbeat of God and it's the ministry given to every Christian believer. However, for you to effectively win souls for Christ, you must learn how to do so. So, this post tells you how to win souls for Christ.

For “whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.” How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher - Romans 10:13-14 (NKJV).

Many people are still not saved partly because those who approached them did it wrongly. However, when you follow the steps for soul-winning that the apostles used, you will not miss it. And if you're to win souls for Christ then you have to do it His way.

How To Win Souls For Christ

1. Understand the reason for soul-winning

It is important that you understand why you have to reach out to souls for Christ. This is because it will build up your passion to lead souls to Christ. For, passion drives evangelism effectively and successfully. And one major reason is that without salvation in Christ, the individual will perish in hell (John 3:16). However, it's not the will of God that any should perish. So, God gave the ministry of reconciliation to every believer that we should go and lead others to Christ.

2. Prayer and fasting

This is a very important aspect of soul winning. This is because you can't win souls in the energy of the flesh. It is the Father that draws people to Christ (John 6:44).

Also, it is the Holy Spirit that converts and not you. So, you need to engage the help of the Holy Spirit. And you do this through prayers. Also, adding fasting to prayer helps you to be more sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit.

In prayers, you ask the Spirit of God to lead you, speak through you, and convert the individual (Ephesians 6:19-20). Also, you ask Him to give you the wisdom for each person you desire to lead to Christ. This is because the method you used for one may not work on another. And the individual thoughts, mindset, or ideas of things differ from one person to another.

Furthermore, in prayers, you ask the Holy Spirit to open the hearts of the people to receive the gospel of Christ. For example, God opened the heart of Lydia to receive the gospel of Christ that Paul was preaching (Acts 16:14). Also, you pray that they accept Christ as their Lord and Saviour. So, in prayer, you table every detail of the evangelism before God and receive guidance and directions for it. Read more...
