How to win more souls for Christ
So, over the years I have witnessed to a few people and invited a few people to my church. So, recently I have thought about why these potential peoples did not show up or take me up on my offer. I am going to share some methods that are not the right way to win souls over vs. the right way to win souls. The wrong way to witness to anybody is "you need to be saved", "you will go to hell," or "you ain't saved." One final thing you should not discuss is church standards, they do not belong to the church yet. If you say any church standard, let it be the dress code and the word of God. Now, I have never said this to any individual, but I know for a fact that this is the wrong way to witness. Do not do this. If you want more souls to be saved here's the right way to witness: Do not be judge mental. If people know you are judging them, more than likely they will not want to be saved. It's okay to read the word of God and show them a scripture to get your point across. If you two start arguing about what's the right way to be saved, you can just give up on that argument. Let God be the Judge. Let that unsaved person reflect on what you said and what they know to balance out which one they should follow. If they do not follow what you said there is really nothing else you can do. If they follow your way of being saved, then ok you did something right. Other ways you can win an individual over is by: sharing your experience of how God saved you and why you have been blessed ever since (talk about repentance, your experience of being baptized, and being filled with the holy ghost). Quote some scriptures. Never give up on that individual. Give that person hope. Smile. Encourage and uplift that person. Let them see the light (God) in you. Letting them see the light that God gave you attracts people to you. This worked for me before I had the holy ghost. I started seeing more light and I knew something was missing in my life. I had to ask for the holy ghost and God gave me the holy ghost, but you have to want it and you have to ask for it. Another way to get people saved is be sincere. Simply invite the person to church. Live your life according to Christ. Don't look down on them or let them think that you are any better they are. Remember that we were once sinners and we still sin. No one is perfect on this earth. You have no right to judge anyone else. Take the speck out of your own eye, before judging someone else. We have to remember that it takes time for that person to change or want to change. You can not hurry the process of them being saved, be patient. Let God work on that person. You can't make nothing happen, you can't save that person (they have to want to be saved). Do not gossip about that person. Remember: You are this person's hope and so is God. God is hope for the whole world. Remember what God did for you on the cross. One last final thing to remember is : There will be a few individuals that will want to be saved and some may not. Some may be looking for a church or something else, and there are some that are looking for a relationship with Christ, but there is always someone who wants to be saved.
