The Holy Spirit Helps You To Win The Lost

And all things [are] of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation (2 Corinthians 5:18).

Saving people is God’s number one business, and He proved this by sending his only Son, Jesus Christ, to come and die for the entire world (John 3:16). But you might have wondered at one time, “Since God is all-powerful, why doesn’t he just go ahead and save everyone all at once, why should we go out to preach? He’s got myriads of angels, why not use all of them to haul everyone into the Kingdom?” Well, it’s God’s design to have us to do the job! He’s committed to win the lost through us-His children. He has committed to us “the ministry of reconciliation.”

in Acts 10, we read about Cornelius, a Roman centurion. He and all his family were devout and God-fearing; therefore, God had mercy on him and sent an angel to him. Nevertheless, the angel couldn’t lead him to Christ, because it’s not the responsibility of angels to preach the Gospel by ministering the words of salvation. They don’t have that honour! The angel told him to send men to Joppa to ask for Peter, who then came to Cornelius, proclaimed the Gospel to him and his household, and they all received Christ that day.

Your relevance in God’s plan for the salvation of the world can’t be overstated. He wants to reach out to people through you, and because He knows you won’t be able to achieve this by your own ability, He gave you the Holy Spirit to be with you, and in you. He is your partner in soul-winning, and that’s an unbeatable partnership. He’s come into you to make you an able, competent, and effective minister of the Gospel (2 Corinthians 3:6).

His presence in you makes your life supernatural. The moment you receive the Holy Spirit, power comes into you. That power, which is the dynamic ability to cause changes (Acts 1:8), gives you the ability to be a bold witness of the resurrected Christ.
