Your Mission - Winning The Lost - Part 2

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."
Acts 1:8

Today there's a growing interest in the Second Coming of Christ. Before He ascended, Jesus' disciples asked Him about it. His response "It is not for you to know the times or dates. But you will receive power and you will be My witnesses" (Acts 1:7-8). When the disciples wanted to talk about prophecy, Jesus switched the conversation to soul winning. He told them, "The details of My return aren't your business. Your business is winning the lost. Focus on that!" Speculating on the timing of Christ's return is futile, because Jesus said, "No one knows about that day, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father" (Matthew 24:36). Now if Jesus didn't know the day of His return, why are you trying to figure it out? What we do know for sure is that Jesus will not return until everyone God wants to hear the good news has heard it. So if you want Jesus to come back sooner, get busy and start winning souls. Soul winning isn't something you 'fit into your life'. No, it should be your life's purpose! Instead of praying, 'God I want You to bless what I do', it's time to start praying, 'God help me to do what You're blessing.' There's almost nothing God won't do for the one who's committed to bringing others into His kingdom!

Prayer
Heavenly Father, I love to tell others about people I know - help me to share the most important person in my life - YOU. Help my conversations to begin with "Do you know my friend Jesus?" Amen
