A true witness delivers souls, But a deceitful witness speaks lies.
Proverbs 14:25 NKJV
MESSAGE
The world defines a wise person as one who has good judgement or is well-informed in matters relating to this world. We know for certain that the earthly wisdom and prowess of men ends here on earth. But the Bible told us of a particular kind of wisdom that if anyone possesses, such will obtain eternal rewards.
In Proverbs 11:30, the Bible says that he that wins souls is wise. Our text of the day says that a true witness delivers souls. Whenever the Christian witnesses for Christ and such us converted, he has won that soul from death.
While many are thronging the path of hell without help or hope every day, and would soon end their journey in utter destruction except someone warns them and shares the gospel of salvation with them.
The Bible describes this way in which men tread as a broad way that leads to eternal death (Matthew 7:13). Proverbs 14:12 also told us that though this way of sin may look good to men, the end is death. But God does not have pleasure in the death of a sinner, but would rather have all men to saved and come to the knowledge of the truth.
Since the soul of a man is greater than the whole world, anyone who wins just a single soul for Christ is wise. No earthly wise man can gain the whole world. But a single soul saved, gives you a treasure bigger than the world.
No wonder the Bible in the book of Daniel 12:3 says that those who are wise shall shine Like the brightness of the firmament, And those who turn many to righteousness Like the stars forever and ever.
Daniel 12:3 NKJV
There is a great reward for soul winners that the world can buy, therefore make up your mind to win souls for Christ. Make evangelism your passion. Commit yourself to pray for an unsaved soul in your circle of friends or among your family member.
The wisest decision anyone can make is to allow Christ into his or her life, and then go about telling others about the wonderful saviour who saves and delivers from sin, death, and hell.
Be Wise!
REFLECTION
How beautiful upon the mountains Are the feet of him who brings good news, Who proclaims peace, Who brings glad tidings of good things, Who proclaims salvation, Who says to Zion, “Your God reigns!”
Isaiah 52:7 KJV
