SEEK DAILY (NBC) DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR APRIL 13, 2022 (SEEK AND SAVE THE LOST)
TOPIC: *SEEK AND SAVE THE LOST*
TEXT: LUKE 19:1-10
“For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.” Luke 19:10, NIV
Bishop David Oyedepo believes that he was commissioned into the gospel ministry with the following statement. “The hour has come to liberate the world from all oppressions of the devil through the preaching of the word of faith, and I am sending you to undertake the task.” Every Christian has this kind of calling.
Jesus was very clear about His mandate to save the lost souls that He went about seeking people who are lost. He preached in different places. He was conscious of people’s need of salvation. In today’s passage, we observe how in spite of the crowd and the criticism of the people, Jesus was rather moved by Zacchaeus’ need of salvation. He went to be with Zacchaeus in his house and brought salvation to him.
We must be like Jesus. There are lost souls in different locations round about the world and we need to go and seek them to preach the good news to them, and encourage them to reciprocate to others. Since our Lord came to seek and save, we also must continue to seek and save sinners. Jesus saved you and commissioned you to seek the lost.
Insight: The Master has left us with a commission to seek and save the lost.
Prayer: Lord, help me to be true and focused in soul winning.
RBT Passage: 1 Kings 10-12
