N o body ever wake up and find fish in their bathroom, to catch fish you have to go to the fish. To catch fish you have to bait the hooks to the fish liking. The fish want worms, and that is what you have to put on the hook. To catch fish you must learn from the best fisherman. Jesus Said “Follow me and I will make you fishers of men”
Do you ever wonder what happens to the 90% remaining after a Christian pays their 10% tithes. Many pastors spent their time fighting over the one tent, but what about tapping into the ninety percent? A minister friend of mine walked into my office. He needed council. He asked the lord about helping with his finance. The lord told him that the money was in the fish’s mouth, just as he told the Apostle Peter. Many pastors curse out the people and tell them that they are following the lord for fish and bread. But fish and bread is very important.
One of the main reasons why Christians are having problem financially is due to the fact that we are not winning souls. Some sinners have so much money that they will never be able to use for thousand of years. To win souls for Christ, the soul winner must want souls saves for the same reason that God want them save. God do not want them lost, God want to make a community of believers, so each believers have others to trade with.
LET THE SINNERS KNOW HOW CHRIST FEEL ABOUT THEM.
John 3:16 (KJV) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Ezekiel 33:11 (KJV) Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
Acts 2:21 (KJV) And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Romans 10:13 (KJV)For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Daniel 12:3 (KJV) And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. One man in Jamaica commit a crime, the day in court the Judge charge him ten pounds, or two years in prison. He never had the money so he decides if he pretend to be a street preacher and went and keep some street meeting he might get the money. So he made a drum, and decides to go to a certain district. As he entered the district he begin to hit the drum and cried out “yet forty days and Nineveh shall be destroy” He converted the whole town, and he himself was not a Christian.
Our lord calls us into the kingdom strictly to win souls. Any body can win soul. It is just a matter of training.
WHY WE NEED TO WIN SOULS.
Luke 15:7 (KJV)I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.
Luke 15:10 (KJV) Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
You do not see the damage that one sinner can do. One-man rape a little girl, and her intestine came out. It only take one Hitler to kill more that eight millions Jews, and some twenty million Russians.
(1) DO NOT APPEAR TOO RIGHTOUS AND HOLY.
Proverbs 11:30 (KJV) The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.
1 Cor. 9:19-23 (KJV) For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more. [20] And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law; [21] To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law. [22] To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. [23] And this I do for the gospel's sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you.
(2) TOOLS FOR SOUL WINNING.
(3) WHO AND HOW TO GIVE THE TRACT.
WHERE NOT TO PUT GOSPEL TRACTS.
(4) A DIRECT APROACH.
But it is best to wait until you feel a strong urges to give one to a certain person, them you give the person. Not because you feel the leading of the Spirit to give to that person that does not mean that the person is going to take it. If the person refuses it the Holy Spirit will use that refusal to bring the person under conviction.
WATCH OUT FOR THE SUBJECT CHANGER.
SOME WILL NEVER BE SAVE, DO NOT WASTE TIME.
Galatians 4:11 (KJV) I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain.
Matthew 7:6 (KJV) Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
LISTEN TO THE PERSON COMPLAINS.
HE GOT SAVED NOW SO WHAT NEXT?
DO NOT TROUBLE PEOPLE LIFE.
Galatians 6:1 (KJV)Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
1 Cor. 10:12 (KJV)Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
Psalm 34:8 (KJV)O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
Romans 13:7 (KJV) Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.
Missionary went to a certain village to preach to the people, the whole village turns to Christ. Then the missionary command the chieftain to put away his wives and keep one wife only. The chieftain does not know which five wives to put away. Not only that, but those women are daughters of other chieftain, to put them away for no apparent reason but religious reason, is an insult. Those women use their influence against the missionaries. The missionary cannot go to any of the village those women came from, and finally the chieftain from the first village rejected the gospel and killed the missionaries. Christians always are the first ones to disrespect other people customs, we must respect people customs. Make God change it with time himself.
DO NOT GET YOURSELF CUT UP, WHEN YOU CAN LIVE TO BRING MORE PEOPLE TO CHRIST.
1 Tim. 3:2 (KJV) A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
1 Tim. 3:12 (KJV) Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.
Titus 1:6 (KJV) If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly.
If the person is living in a common law marriage, refer to them as wife and husband. If they say that they are not married. Just say you are pronouncing it on them. You are believing and exercising faith on their part. If the person is a smoker, gambler, and drinker, just tell them about Jesus and what he can do for them, leave their life style alone, picking on their sins is only going to drive then on the defensive. He she is going to tell you about a Christians who they know doing worst thing.
DO NOT ATTACK OTHER PEOPLE RELIGIOUS.
VERSES YOU WILL NEED TO KNOW TO BE A SOUL WINNER.
Begin, continue, and end every work, purpose, and plan with God. Self-sufficiency and self-confidence have been the ruin of mankind ever since the fall. Man's sin has been to live independently of God. True religion consists of full acknowledgement of God in all human affairs (Proverbs 3:5).
CHRIST MUST DIED.
CHRIST HAD DIED FOR US.
THERE IS A WITNESS.
MAN MUST BELIEVE
MAN MUST LOOK.
THE SPIRIT CALL.
MAN MUST CALL
MAN MUST COME.
Isaiah 1:18-AV Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
Hosea 6:1-AV Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up. Hosea 6:2-AV After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight. Hosea 6:3-AV Then shall we know, [if] we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter [and] former rain unto the earth.
MAN MUST RECEIVE.
THERE IS NO OTHER THAT CAN GIVE SALVATION.
GOD WILL FORGIVE.

THE LAW OF SOWING AND REAPING.
It is important to know that your financial blessings are base upon the proportions of your giving to the ministry.
Galatians 6:7 (KJV) Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
Job 42:10 And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.
TO RECEIVE FORGIVNESS YOU MUST BE WILLING TO GIVE IT.
TO RECEIVE FINANCIAL PROSPERITY YOU MUST BE WILLING TO PLANT SEED OF FINANCE INTO OTHER PEOPLE MINISTRY.
JOB WAS DELIVERED AFTER HE PRAYED FOR HIS FRIENDS.
Let us face the fact, no matter how much education we had on a subject we can go out there and made the worst mistakes of our life, that cause us dearly. Only Jesus Christ can help us with our decision-making.
Proverbs 3:6 in all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Psalm 34:8 (NASB-U) O taste and see that the Lord is good; How blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!
HOW TO BECOME A CHRISTIAN.
Isaiah 7:11 (ASV) Ask thee a sign of Jehovah thy God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above. Isaiah 7:12 (ASV) But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt Jehovah.
Ezekiel 18:32 (ASV) For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord Jehovah: wherefore turn yourselves, and live.
First you must recognize that you are a sinner and need God mercy.
1 Peter 2:24 (Living) He personally carried the load of our sins in his own body when he died on the cross so that we can be finished with sin and live a good life from now on. For his wounds have healed ours!
YOU MUST KNOW THAT YOU CANNOT SAVE YOURSELF.
2 Peter 3:18 (ASV) But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and for ever. Amen.
Zech. 4:7 (KJV) Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it.
Eph 2:8 The Message Bible” “Saving is all his idea, and all his work. All we do is trust him enough to let him do it. It's God's gift from start to finish! Eph 2:9 We don't play the major role. If we did, we'd probably go around bragging that we'd done the whole thing!” There nothing you could do to save yourself , the only thing you could do is bowed your head and ask God to save you.
You must believe that there is a God.
No other person can save you except Jesus.
Acts 4:12 (Living) There is salvation in no one else! Under all heaven there is no other name for men to call upon to save them."
Then you must know that God invites you to come to him.
Do not wait until tomorrow to get save.
2Co 6:2 The Message Bible. “God reminds us, I heard your call in the nick of time; The day you needed me, I was there to help. Well, now is the right time to listen, the day to be helped.”
Delay not your conversion to the lord, put it not off from day to day. Remember that tomorrow is promise to no man. Accept the lord, go home and continue with your life, if the lord.. If the lord saves you in bad life style, he has some plan up his sleeve how to get you out of it, give him time to work out his salvation in your life.
WHOSEOEVER SHALL CALL.
Romans 10:13 (KJV) For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Ezekiel 33:11 (KJV) Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
Now bow your head and pray this prayer.
From this day onward you will begin to feel a flood of joy and peace full your heart and mind. You must confess Jesus to others with your mouth. Tell what great thing the lord had done for you. Romans 10:9 (Living) For if you tell others with your own mouth that Jesus Christ is your Lord and believe in your own heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
Then you need to start reading the bible, start reading from St Mathew.
THE LORD WILL MAKE YOU HOLY IN HIS OWN TIME.
OUR BODY WAS NOT REEDEM AT CONVERSION.
Rom 8:21 that the creation itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the liberty of the glory of the children of God. Rom 8:22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. Rom 8:23 And not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for our adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
OUR VILE BODY WILL BE CHANGE AT THE RETURN OF JESUS.
THE SINS OF THE BODY WILL NOT BE CONQUERED LITERALY BY ALL SAINTS WHILE LIVING ON EARTH.
When the Lord redeemed us our body was not redeem, it was our spirit and soul. The changes took place in our spirit man. Not the body. The body will still continue to sin. If the believer do not know this they will become worried as to why am I still lusting? And became eaten up with guilt to the point where they experience no peace and joy.
Even though our body were not redeem, we who wanting to live up to certain standard, to please society, must bring our body into subjection, even thou we do not do that to buy salvation. But to prevent Satan from capitalized on it. But to bring this body into subjection take time. We saw belivers at the judgment seat of Christ in heaven being judge for the deeds of the body. That mean they made it in, so not all of us will overcame the deeds of the body, but we all will made it in.
1 Cor. 9:27 (NASB-U)but I discipline my body and make it my slave, so that, after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified.
2 Cor. 2:11 (NASB-U) so that no advantage would be taken of us by Satan, for we are not ignorant of his schemes.
Romans 12:1 (GW)Brothers and sisters, in view of all we have just shared about God's compassion, I encourage you to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, dedicated to God and pleasing to him. This kind of worship is appropriate for you.
2 Cor. 12:7 (NASB-U)Because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, for this reason, to keep me from exalting myself, there was given me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to torment me—to keep me from exalting myself!
SOME THING YOU OVERCAME BY GRACE.
“I saw a river of blood, flows from Calvary Mountain, I am in it and your are in it, and I am clean, clean” By Smith Wiggle worth.
We can sing with the song writer" I rise walk in heaven’s own light above the world and sin with heart made pure and garments white, and Christ en-throned with in. The cleansing stream I see I see I plunge, and O It cleans-eth me. O praise the Lord, it cleans-eth me, it cleans-eth me yes, cleans-eth me."
HOW TO CONTINUE IN THE FAITH.
The first thing you will need to know is this. Beware of people who come laying hands on you say they are filling you with the Holy Ghost. That is how people get possess with demonic spirits. God will give you every thing you need to fit you out for his service in his own times. You do not need to push any thing nor to make any thing happen. Wait until God make it happen. Do not get too carry away into this charismatic stuff, I spent almost forty years in it, all those who try to fake it or pushed it got hurt.
You will need to read the book “War on the saints” By Jessie Penn-Lewis. The Christians literature Crusade, fort Washington, Pennsylvania 19034 U.S.A. ISBN 0-87508-958-4. Get this book before you start messing with Charismatic.
A NEW MIND-SET.
Eph 4:22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; Eph 4:23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; Eph 4:24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. Eph 4:25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
GIVE YOURSELF AWAY TO THE THINGS OF GOD.
Jer 29:13 The Message Bible. "When you come looking for me, you'll find me. "Yes, when you get serious about finding me and want it more than anything else,
