TOPIC: “GET BUSY WINNING SOULS (Break Satan’s Hold Over The Lost In Our World) “

Scripture; 2 Corinthians 4:3-4

 “But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.”

MESSAGE

When you get to know the true state of those without Jesus Christ in Ephesians 2:2, you’d want to do something about it! The Word tells us that they walk “… according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience.” That simply means that they’re controlled by some evil demonic force: the prince of the power of the air is at work in them because they rejected the truth of the Gospel.

This is where we come in – we break the power of Satan over such people and take the light of God’s Word to them. The Bible teaches that we must bind the strongman to plunder his house (Matthew 12:29). For us to record a massive harvest of souls in today’s world in these last days, we must break the influence of Satan and his demons over the lives of those who haven’t yet known the Lord. When we do this, the light of God’s glorious Gospel can shine in their hearts.

Anyone who’s not born again, whether it’s your father, mother, uncle, auntie, brother, sister, cousin, nephew, niece, friend, neighbour, etc., is all under the control of these wicked rulers of darkness till they receive the Gospel of Jesus Christ. 2 Corinthians 4:3 says, “…If our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing.” Ephesians 4:18 says they have their understanding darkened. That’s why you must do something about it; they’re your responsibility.

Get busy winning souls and interceding for them for the harvest is ripe (John 4:35). Right from the day of Pentecost, the Bible tells us the Holy Spirit was poured out upon all men, in accordance with the prophecy in Joel 2:28. This means men now have the potential ability to recognise and receive the truth. As you pray, declare that the power and influence of Satan and his demons over the people are broken in the Name of Jesus, and men and women hear the Gospel, perceive, understand and receive it for their salvation in Christ Jesus. Hallelujah!

PRAY

Dear Father, thank you for pouring out your Spirit upon all humanity, making it possible for their hearts to receive the glorious Gospel of Christ. I pray for as many as will be reached with the Gospel today, that the light of the Gospel will shine in their hearts, resulting in their salvation, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
