THE VALUE OF A SOUL “
For so the Lord has commanded us, saying, I have made you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth”
Acts 13:47
Main Text: Main text: Luke 15
Few Years ago, the word of the Lord came to me saying “Son what is that one thing that people cannot live without in this life? I immediately said money because we need it to live a stable life. However, the Lord said I was wrong, so I said Lord what exactly is the right answer? And the Lord said, the gospel of Jesus Christ. I responded, Lord but people live without the gospel and He said, yes, they may live without the gospel in this world, however, in the next world they cannot but accept the Lordship of Jesus Christ. If they accept the gospel of Jesus on the earth, good for them, but woe unto anyone that accepts the gospel in the world to come.” Souls are extremely valuable to God.
It would do well for many to wake up and realize the value of the soul. Man has its origin in God and was bought back from sin with the precious blood of Jesus (1 Cor. 6:20). Billy Graham once said “What is one soul worth to God? To truly understand the answer to this question helps us push past our fear of sharing our faith with others. If we could begin to see every person we come across as an invaluable soul with an eternal destiny, it would change everything.”
The soul longs for God. Down deep inside every person’s heart is a cry for something but man is sometimes oblivious to it. Man is a worshiping creature. He instinctively knows there’s something out there somewhere and longs to know that something or someone. Your soul longs for vital contact with God. Your soul is valuable because it is eternal – it is forever.
Prayer
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, I bind every territorial strongman that is standing against mass conversion of souls into Christianity in this nation and environment in Jesus name. Amen
