Become a harvester Part 2

By Pastor Jaco Mostert 23 July 2021

Many times, a Christian approach the lost souls with the method of highlighting their sins. Making people feel bad about themselves and almost putting condemnation on them. This approach will rarely ever work. You have to speak to people with love, about any topic which they are interested in. Cars, for example. People should know you care about them. That you don’t just want to bash them with the Bible, but you really care about them and the things that’s important to them. Always remember that you are a representative of Jesus. Jude, verse 23 23 Rescue those who are living in danger of hell’s fire. There are others you should treat with mercy, but be very careful that their filthy lives don’t rub off on you.[a] As you put yourself out there by spending time with those are still not in the Lord, just make sure that their life choices and beliefs doesn’t rub off on you. You will need discernment. For example, don’t go into a bar thinking you’ll turn everyone around. Maybe you’ll find them turning you around and you’ll see the next moment that you’re drinking with them. 1 Corinthians 9: 20 – 23 20 To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), so as to win those under the law. 21 To those not having the law I became like one not having the law (though I am not free from God’s law but am under Christ’s law), so as to win those not having the law. 22 To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some. 23 I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings. From this scripture we should learn that we should meet the people where they are. If they are weak, don’t boast about your strength. Go meet them on their level and be weak them. Love them. When they cry, you cry. You get onto their level without getting into the mud ourself. We should adjust as it is needed as we represent Jesus. This means we will also get knowledge about many things, in order to accommodate others in conversation until they are open to want to receive the Lord.
