READ: Matthew 6:19-21
“For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.” – Matthew 18:11
Many churches are not conscious of lost souls. Neither are they conscious of missions to win souls. This is obvious because of what pastors preach to their members. Today, most churches are fed on the doctrines of success, the doctrine of happiness, the doctrine of a good life, the doctrine of wealth creation, the doctrine of the market place and the doctrine of prosperity.
These concepts can be found in the Bible and there are many scriptures that can be pulled in here and there to make everyone conscious of success, wealth and happiness! However, these doctrines are side topics; they are not the main doctrines of the church. These things are blessings that follow some people who serve God.
A church must prioritize what Jesus has prioritized (1 Timothy 1:15)! A church must love what Jesus loves! A church must have on its heart what Jesus had on His heart!
Most church members are not interested in soul winning. Their pastors are teaching them how to be rich, how to get things and how to be just like the world! God did not send Jesus Christ into this world to distribute earthly riches and material goods. You will notice Jesus urging his followers to sell what they had, to distribute to the poor and to follow Him (Matthew 19:21). Jesus Christ warned His followers not to lay up treasures on earth as is the manner of some (Matthew 6:19-20). He warned that you cannot serve God and mammon (Luke 16:13).
Soul winning must be important not just for the youth or drop outs in society. In a soul winning, mission conscious church, everybody is interested in winning souls for Jesus.
