Positioned To Win Souls

Matthew 5:16 – Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

 You are in the perfect position to win someone to Christ. Your job is full of people that need Christ and your family is filled with souls that are ripe and ready to be harvested. You have the power of life and death in your tongue and you can speak victory over sin to them! God is calling on us to be bolder and take a stronger stand in 2010 for Him. Your life is a living testimony! Why are you hiding it? What you believe works for you and God is strengthening your relationship with Him daily. So, why not take some time to ask God for open doors to reach out to your coworkers or your family and associates? Are you saved just for you? God can turn your boss around, your coworkers, your friends, your family, etc. if you allow Him to. Stop conforming to them and hold fast in your belief. They will inquire as to what is different about you.
 
The enemy loves for us to get involved with people and then fall into sin with them. The enemy sees this as opportunity to stop your witness and cause people to lose faith in your Christianity. And it's a terrible thing to always fall back in front of the world because it does lessen their confidence in your faith and your walk. But that is not the end! If you are in that position, what better time to show the power of God and His ability to take us from a sinful walk to a blessed walk? This is your time! You can show your coworkers, your peers, your family, how you were once in darkness but now you are a child of light. Even though you may have claimed Jesus, you may not have been where you should have been. But thanks be to God for His mercy and grace and His ability to change us, even when we feel we have shamed His name! It really doesn't matter what you have done or how bad you may think you have been. God is able and once you decide to live for Him wholeheartedly, then you can be a light to others. Take some time to pray for your coworkers. Send them the daily word. Go after their souls like it was your own! Pray for them and ask God for ways to touch them. It's time for our focus to shift from us to them in 2010. It's time that we get it together and stop spending our prayer time praying for ourselves. The world is dying around us and we are responsible because their salvation is alive in us.
