What other inhibiting lines have\nyou heard or said when it comes to telling others about Jesus?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<em>It\u2019s not really my thing.<\/em>\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<em>I find it hard starting off such conversations.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<em>People may look at me funny, and think I\u2019m trying to push my belief down their throats.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The list goes on and on. Even though soul winning demands a lot of intentionality, it is not half as difficult as we think it is. In today\u2019s post, I\u2019ll be sharing some practical soul winning\/ evangelism nuggets I\u2019ve learnt over time from an Apostle of soul winning- Bishop David Oyedepo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bishop Oyedepo is the president of Living Faith Church worldwide. One of the scriptures he lives by is <strong>Matthew 6:33.<\/strong> It states, \u201c<em>But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you<\/em>.\u201d He is an avid believer in the soul winning commandment. Here are some pointers he\u2019s repeatedly shared: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Never speak with anyone without praying for them. Soul winning is 100% a spiritual exercise.<\/li><li>Don\u2019t go quoting scriptures at your target. He\/she may have no idea what you\u2019re talking about.<\/li><li>Ask to pray with him\/her. You\u2019d hardly find anyone who can pass on this offer, especially when it\u2019s genuine.<\/li><li>Ask the Holy Spirit for the right words.<\/li><li>Share your testimonies. Let your target know what God has done for you. That\u2019s a good place to begin.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, the Holy Spirit is the only one who convicts and converts. The next time you want to speak to someone about Jesus, please put these steps to practice. These are not cast in stone, but it may be helpful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t feel constrained in any way,\nlet the Holy Spirit do His thing. At the end of the day, it could be your kind\ngesture or smile that sets the tone for the conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I hope this has blessed you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Dammy<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.
