Meanwhile in the
course of the second phase of this tenure precisely on the 17th day
of November 2013 prayer force department
had their day with the theme:
BURDEN FOR SOULS
(DEPOPULATING THE KINGDOM OF HELL)
BURDEN
FOR SOULS (DEPOPULATING THE KINGDOM OF HELL)
A man wakes up in the morning after sleeping on an advertised
bed in advertised pyjamas. He brushes with an advertised toothpaste, washes
with an advertised soap, and shaves with an advertised razor or powder. He
prays with an advertised holy book, has breakfast with an advertised orange
juice, cereal and toast. Sips his advertised coffee, puts on advertised clothes,
shoes and glances at his advertised wristwatch. He rides with an advertised
car, bus or train, sits on an advertised desk and writes with an advertised pen
on an advertised pad. Yet this man hesitates to advertise saying that
advertising does not pay. But when his advertised business goes down, he advertises
for sale.
THE TONGUE: A WEAPON AND A TOOL
Many times, a seed of discord grows between friends and loved
ones, not because it is the devil that does it, but because the tongue is not
effectively used to avoid that seed of discord. Sometimes, people walk up to
you and let you know things that seem very stupid and irrelevant, the answer
should not be in letting a person know how stupid or irrelevant what he/she has
said to you is and make the person feel worse, but the answers
should be
concerned and even making the person feel right to what he or she has said to
you. By so doing, the person gladly listens because to him, that correction is
coming from somebody that loves him/her dearly and he will make amends.
On the other hand, if you make the person feel stupid, you
only stir up wrath and anger in the mind of that person and like it or not, the
seed of discord has been sown. The bible even concurs to this while its
expressly stated ‟A soft answer turns away wrath, but grievous words stir up
anger.”(Pro 15:1)
Furthermore, it is pertinent to note that the tongue can be
used to drive people away from us because, they wouldn’t want to be injured by
the sharp edges of the word that coma out of it and by so doing, it has been
used as a tool to plant the seed of discord.
In conclusion, it could also be used as a weapon to drive
wrath away by bringing people close to you because they want to nourish by soft
answers and by so doing, the tongue is used for promoting unity and uprooting
the seed of discord.
Ask yourself what weapon or tool your tongue stands for?

THIS
IS IT
Burden for soul, depopulating the
kingdom of hell. This may
sound strange to you, but you need to consider yourself and ask yourself these
questions; what will be of me on that day? What must I do to be saved?
According to Nicodemus in John 3, what are the criteria of heaven? How can I
become a born again? These are the questions that need to be asked.
After being saved, we are made to understand that we were
‟saved to serve”. Today Christians are not interested in winning souls for Gods
kingdom, pro 11:30 will say that as Christians we are, we should be worried and
burdened about dying souls. Jesus while preaching to the people noticed that
the harvest is large but the labourers are few (matt 9:37).
As believers, we are expected to go out and win souls,
depopulate the kingdom of hell. We should not allow lost souls to perish;
rather, they should be a savior. Haggai 1:7 says ‟Consider your ways”. May his holy fire for souls, the kingdom and
compassion fall on you afresh today for ‟the business requires haste” therefore make haste while the sun shines.

BURDEN FOR SOULS: DEPOPULATING THE
KINGDOM OF HELL (Matt 9: 35-38)
As Christians, we are servants of God and our mission on
earth is to win souls for Christ (burden for souls). How can this be achieved,
if our life style do not reflect God in us? If your life is not seen as an
example of Christ, how can you fulfill your mission? Funny enough, most people
do not know their mission.
If we say we love God (matt 22:27). We also ought to love our
neighbors so well that when we see them going astray, it is our duty to be
burdened in our heart for that soul not to perish (Romans 10:1). By letting the person know that Christ lives.
What is the word and how can it have a greater positive impact in our lives. (Romans
10:8-11)
The devil is very jobless (Job 2:2). His work is to steal,
kill and destroy. As Christians God knows we are not perfect but the only way
for us to stand firm is to constantly study the word of God. (Josh 1: 8)
because it builds us thereby building a closer relationship with God.
Our world of today is full of different tricks and most
Christians compromise with the world. The Lord is saying, deviate from your
evil ways and what will lead to sin (Prov 23:14, 27:17). This will help you to
be on a safe side with God and the assurance of heaven at last.

THEME: BURDEN OF
SOULS [DEPOPULATING THE KINGDOM OF HELL]
TEXT: MATT 9:35-38, PROV.11:30, ROMANS 10:1
M/V: JUDE 1:28
INTRODUCTION-
As christens the only assignment that was given to us is to
win souls. The scripture emphasis that the main purpose/duty of every believer
is to win souls or to spread the gospel of Christ, Rom 1:16 and you must make
others to be saved through our salvation. Before we continue we must know the
meaning of the term burden of souls what then is BURDEN OF SOUL
WHAT IS THEN BURDEN
Burden is a responsibility or obligation that is resting on
somebody to perform a particular duty or task, it can also be a burning desire
to carry out a particular or certain function.
WHAT IS SOUL?
As an individual we are made up with three vital elements
which are God, the Spirit, and soul. Soul is the most the most important
because it is the seat and center of em
otions and it is the center of humans
personality, it is what makes us who we are.
otions and it is the center of humans
personality, it is what makes us who we are.
WHAT
IS BURDEN FOR SOUL
Therefore I will say burden for souls is that burning zeal or
desire, or interest to rescue them i.e those people who are not saved, from
going to the pit of hell. Praise God we now know what the theme is talking
about, I will want to talk about the important aspect of “DEPOPULATING THE
KINGDOM OF HELL”
