The Treasure is in your Hands

“He said to me, “Don’t seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is at hand. He who acts unjustly, let him act unjustly still. He who is filthy, let him be filthy still. He who is righteous, let him do righteousness still. He who is holy, let him be holy still.”” (Revelation‬ ‭22:10-11‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

People have free will, and they will choose what they want to.

It is not your job to convince people that they should believe in Jesus. God did not send us to do sales for His kingdom.

Your privilege is to announce the Good News of Jesus Christ, and let the Holy Spirit do the persuading in the hearers’ hearts.

Those who will believe at this point in time will believe. Those who won’t, won’t. Simple as that!

Jesus likened preaching the Gospel to catching fishes. If you toss your net in for a catch, and you draw it up after, will you care about the fishes inside the net, or will you fret about those who swam away?

If you’re like me, you will probably be happy about the fishes you caught, and ignore those that got away.

“When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep, and let down your nets for a catch.” Simon answered him, “Master, we worked all night, and took nothing; but at your word I will let down the net.” When they had done this, they caught a great multitude of fish, and their net was breaking.” (Luke‬ ‭5:4-6‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Want to catch more fishes? Toss more nets whenever the Holy Spirit leads you to let your net down for a catch. He can show you the right place and right time to sow the Gospel in a person’s heart.

A soul winner is not a door-to-door salesman. He is led by the omniscient Spirit of God, who sees all the outcomes of every time and action. He can make your preaching effective and fruitful.

““Don’t give that which is holy to the dogs, neither throw your pearls before the pigs, lest perhaps they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.” (Matthew‬ ‭7:6‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

The Gospel you believe in your heart is a priceless treasure. Why do you need to hard-sell others about a great treasure? Those who have an eye for value will want it and ask you about it.

Some well-intentioned believers are repeatedly preaching to the wrong people. They are trying to convince those who will never believe. In Jesus’ parable, father Abraham said that some people will never be convinced, even if a spirit rises from the dead to warn them about Hell.

““He said, ‘I ask you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father’s house; for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, so they won’t also come into this place of torment.’ “But Abraham said to him, ‘They have Moses and the prophets. Let them listen to them.’ “He said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’ “He said to him, ‘If they don’t listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if one rises from the dead.’”” (Luke‬ ‭16:27-31‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Remember—announce the Gospel; don’t hard-sell it and cheapen the image of this priceless treasure we have!

The four gospels are full of powerful revelations to help us live victoriously through Christ. It is important to understand them through the lens of grace: https://bit.ly/understandeveryparable
