Todays Devotion Topic: The Holy Spirit Will Convict! Text: John 6: 44 No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day. Amen. Last Friday we discussed the correlation between evangelism and soul winning. In the discussion we discovered how important it is to give people every reason to come to Christ. Todays devotion seeks to go a step further and explain what happens after we (Christians sharing the Word) have done all we can. Truth is, some believers all over the years, have done so much just to get the world to know Jesus. Individuals do dawn broadcasting in their vicinity, others speak to strangers one-on-one. Churches organise evangelistic crusades, hospital visitations, musical concerts, TV and radio shows etc, just to win souls for the Lord. However, few of us follow these things up with prayer. We almost fail to acknowledge that it is God that draws a sinner back to Himself, not the other way around. Sometimes we get so frustrated with unbelievers who prove difficult as we evangelise to them. It shouldnt be so. Ours is to share Christ and give them every reason to choose the Lord. The rest is for the Holy Spirit - He is our Dependable Partner in ministry. He will convict the world of sin and reveal Gods love to them much better than you did. He then gives them the heart ready to receive and walk with the Lord. And when they have accepted Jesus, it is He that will live in them - to guide and teach them so that they will become like Christ. So begin to pray now. Pray more for the people you desire to win for Christ rather than get frustrated with them for remaining in sin. The Father will, by your prayer, draw them closer to Himself and give them the wonderful companion of the Holy Ghost. He will always be there to speak to them after you have left.
