Be Not Ashamed

DAY 3 OF 3

He Who Wins Souls Is Wise.

“The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.” Proverbs‬ ‭11:30‬ ‭KJV‬‬

He who wins souls is wise. According to Strong’s Concordance, the Hebrew word for “Wise” is ‘chakam’ (H2450) which means, “skillful (in technical work), wise (in administration), shrewd, crafty, cunning, wily, subtle, learned, prudent, wise (ethically and religiously).” 

He who wins men is skillful, thoughtful, cunning and wise in their approach. Let God lead you. Let God direct you. Let God give you wisdom on how to lead others to Him. Let God lead your approach. Let God soften your heart and lead your lips as you reach others for Him. 

Let God fill your heart with His words and His grace as you minister to and lead others to Christ. Let God give you His heart as you reach others for Him. Choose to reflect Christ in your everyday life. When you win souls for Him — He will show you how to lead and handle their heart. Let God lead your actions. 

Actually, one of the most effective ways to minister to others is through your everyday life. Let your life reflect the character and love of Christ. Let your life reflect the love of God for others. Let your life reveal God’s compassion for others through your actions. Let your life become a living testament of God’s grace, love and mercy. 

Proverbs‬ ‭11:30‬ ‭AMPC‬‬ declares, “The fruit of the [uncompromisingly] righteous is a tree of life, and he who is wise captures human lives [for God, as a fisher of men–he gathers and receives them for eternity].” 

As a fisher of men, God will lead you and teach you how to fish men for Him. God will tell you what to say. Christ will even show you what to do. Surrender to Christ and ask Him for the wisdom to win others for Him. 

James‬ ‭1:5‬ ‭AMPC‬‬ declares, “If any of you is deficient in wisdom, let him ask of the giving God [Who gives] to everyone liberally and ungrudgingly, without reproaching or faultfinding, and it will be given him.” 

Be not ashamed of the Gospel. Let God lead you. Let every aspect of your life reflect Christ. “The seeds of good deeds become a tree of life; a wise person wins friends.” Proverbs‬ ‭11:30‬ ‭NLT‬. Be not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
