Strategies for winning souls - Pastor Kay

You have been chosen by God. He chose you because he knows you can produce the results. he only reason for not producing is declaring that you can't do it. However agreeing with God and saying that you can because you are God's choice. He has chosen you and sent you in your sphere of contact. Where you happen to be, you are the only one that can do it.

Christ's Strategies
Christ's strategies was based on the state in which he finds the individual

One on One Evangelism - A woman with a poor self image John 4
Christ initiated the conversation with the Samaritan lady even though it was unheard of for Jews to relate to Samaritans. Jesus made her know her value and worth and by the time he had finished with her, she knew it and the scriptures show that she was changed and she told people about her experience. Christ was concerned about her and made sure she was comfortable even though he did not know her (in the way a person is acquainted with another) before their meeting at the well.

One on One Evangelism - A man with a cynical view - John 1:43-end
Philip was cynical and was of the opinion that nothing good could/would come out of Nazareth. When brought to Jesus, Jesus disarmed him with a compliment and ministered to him. The salvation of the man's soul was paramount in the mind of Christ

One on One Evangelism - A man waiting for an invitation
Matthew the tax collector was waiting for an invitation and was glad to accept Jesus when he came to see him

One on One Evangelism - A man who admired Jesus
Luke 19:1-6 Jesus was lavished attention on Zacchaeus and visited him, taking a particular interest in the life of this one who admired him from afar. This was to bring the gospel to him not just to take advantage of him.

Family Evangelism - Reaching out to the family of someone who has been saved - Luke 10:38
Christ knew Martha and through her he met Lazarus and Mary. See Luke 10:38-end and john 11:1-3. No one should be written off as we never know who they know or when we may need to share the gospel with them.

Family Evangelism - A woman related to Peter - Matthew 8:14-17
Peter's mother-in-law was healed by Jesus when he visited and as such she was happy to minister to those who were around. She became part of the ministry.

In closing, Jesus was all about soul winning. He did it with all his resources,money,time and his person. This should be the focus of every Christian person. You are God's point man in your world so take up the responsibility that you've been give n and bring grace,favour and the glory of God into the life of so many who God has brought you into contact with.
