Adama Segbedji Podcast show

Summary: <br> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">The church<br> of Jesus Christ has lost the focus of soul winning. Our drive is on “bless me<br> now, what can I receive now”. What we have to understand is that we have to<br> make the weightier matters weightier and the lesser matters lesser. The most<br> important thing in the body of Christ, must be soul winning. Jesus Christ was<br> slain for the foundations of this earth. Jesus was crucified so that you and I<br> can be saved. <strong><em>“He that wineth soul is wise.”</em></strong> The opposite is also true which<br> means, he that doesn’t win souls is unwise. Soul winning must become the<br> heartbeat of the church. Soul winning must become the number one desire of the<br> church. The reason many people don’t go for outreach is because they have lost<br> the passion to win souls because there is no more compassion in the body of<br> Christ. <strong><em>Matthew 9:35-38”</em></strong></span><strong><em><sup><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; background: #FFFFFF;"> <span class="text"> </span></span></sup></em></strong><span class="text"><b><i><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; background: #FFFFFF;">Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their<br> synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease<br> and sickness.</span></i></b></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><strong><em><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; background: #FFFFFF;"> </span></em></strong></span><span class="text"><strong><em><sup><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; background: #FFFFFF;">36 </span></sup></em></strong></span><span class="text"><b><i><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; background: #FFFFFF;">When he<br> saw the crowds, he had compassion on them,</span></i></b></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><strong><em><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; background: #FFFFFF;"> </span></em></strong></span><span class="text"><strong><em><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; background: #FFFFFF;">because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.</span></em></strong></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><strong><em><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; background: #FFFFFF;"> </span></em></strong></span><span class="text"><strong><em><sup><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; background: #FFFFFF;">37 </span></sup></em></strong></span><span class="text"><b><i><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; background: #FFFFFF;">Then he<br> said to his disciples,</span></i></b></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><strong><em><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; background: #FFFFFF;"> </span></em></strong></span><span class="woj"><strong><em><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; background: #FFFFFF;">“The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.</span></em></strong></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><strong><em><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; background: #FFFFFF;"> </span></em></strong></span><span class="woj"><strong><em><sup><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; background: #FFFFFF;">38 </span></sup></em></strong></span><span class="woj"><b><i><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; background: #FFFFFF;">Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his<br> harvest field</span></i></b></span><b><i><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">”. </span></i></b><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Without<br> compassion, you have no feelings for the lost. Without compassion you cannot<br> reach the lost and the reason why there is a mentality of me myself and I in<br> the church is because we have no compassion. Without compassion we cannot reach<br> the world for Jesus. When you have the spirit of compassion, everyday you will<br> be thinking about the lost.</span></p><p></p>
