WIN THEM ONE BY ONE (GHS 112) HYMN WIN THEM ONE BY ONE (GHS 112)

WIN THEM ONE BY ONE [GHS 112] If to Christ our only King Men redeemed we strive to bring, Just one way may this be done - We must win them one by one. 1.

Chorus So you bring the one next to you And I’ll bring the one next to me; In all kinds of weather, We’ll all work together, And see what can be done; If you’ll bring the one next to you, And I bring the one next to me, In no time at all we’ll have them all, So win them, win them, one by one.

WIN THEM ONE BY ONE [GHS 112] Side by side we stand each day, Saved are we, but lost are they; They will come if we but dare Speak a word backed up by prayer. 2.

Chorus So you bring the one next to you And I’ll bring the one next to me; In all kinds of weather, We’ll all work together, And see what can be done; If you’ll bring the one next to you, And I bring the one next to me, In no time at all we’ll have them all, So win them, win them, one by one.

WIN THEM ONE BY ONE [GHS 112] Only cowards dare refuse, Dare this gift of God mis-use; Ere some friend goes to his grave, Speak a word his soul to save. 3.

Chorus So you bring the one next to you And I’ll bring the one next to me; In all kinds of weather, We’ll all work together, And see what can be done; If you’ll bring the one next to you, And I bring the one next to me, In no time at all we’ll have them all, So win them, win them, one by one.

WIN THEM ONE BY ONE [GHS 112] Not for hope of great reward Turn men’s hearts unto the Lord; Just to see a saved man smile Makes the effort well worth while. 4.

Chorus So you bring the one next to you And I’ll bring the one next to me; In all kinds of weather, We’ll all work together, And see what can be done; If you’ll bring the one next to you, And I bring the one next to me, In no time at all we’ll have them all, So win them, win them, one by one.

SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES LESSON 676: PERSONAL EVANGELISM

LESSON 676: PERSONAL EVANGELISM MEMORY VERSE: “He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messaias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ” (John 1:41) TEXT: John 1:35-51

SUMMARY (1) From our last study, we learnt the following lessons: The fruit of the Spirit is the character of Christ reproduced in the Christian through the Holy Spirit. A living relationship with Christ is needed to bear the fruit of the Spirit. A fruit bearing Christian will receive answers to prayers, God will be glorified, shall be a disciple of the Lord and will always be fruitful irrespective of age. The study of today touches on four points: Personal Evangelism: meaning and mandate. Necessity and urgency of personal evangelism. The lifestyle of soul-winners. Effective methods and procedures in personal evangelism.

SUMMARY (2) Personal evangelism: meaning and mandate (John 1:40-42; Mark 16:15): Personal evangelism is the person-to-person sharing of the good news of salvation with a sinner, with the goal of bringing him to God through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Necessity and urgency of personal evangelism (John 4:35; Ezekiel 3:17-21): The end of a soul without Christ makes it a necessity to reach out before it is too late. The shortness of time makes it an urgent task to rescue the dying soul. The lifestyle of soul-winners (2Timothy 2:4-6; Isaiah 52:11): A soul-winner must first experience genuine conversion from sin. He must be free from spots, blemishes and evil reports: live an exemplary life. Effective methods and procedures in personal evangelism (John 3:1-3; Acts 8:26-39): Methods include direct/indirect, friendship, literature, after-fellowship, etc. Present the gospel and lead the sinner to the point of decision and surrender to Christ. Be watchful while preaching; avoid anything that may hinder the salvation of souls.

QUESTION 5 (a)Mention various methods of personal evangelism. John 3:3 Acts 8:29-30 (b) As a believer, which of them have you effectively employed?

QUESTION 6 What steps can a soul-winner take to lead a soul to salvation? Galatians 5:19-21, Romans 3:23 Romans 6:23b, John 12:32 Isaiah 1:20 Romans 10:9-10

QUESTION 7 What pitfalls must be avoided when leading a soul to the Lord?

CONCLUSION Personal evangelism is a mandate from the Lord. It is an effective, easy and exemplary soul-winning strategy. It must be done with the purpose of leading souls to the Saviour Jesus Christ. A converted soul must be followed up to establish him in the faith. Baptism in water should be done and discipleship training . The soul-winner must be ready to make sacrifice both financially and materially for the spiritual and physical welfare of the covert.

HYMN SEARCH ME O GOD (GHS 177)

SEARCH ME, O GOD [GHS 177] Search me, O God, and know my heart today, Try me, O Lord, and know my thoughts I pray; See if there be some wicked way in me; Cleanse me from every sin, and set me free. 1.

SEARCH ME, O GOD [GHS 177] I praise Thee, Lord, for cleansing me from sin; Fulfill Thy Word, and make me pure within; Fill me with fire, where once I burned with shame; Grant my desire to magnify Thy name. 2.

SEARCH ME, O GOD [GHS 177] Lord, take my life, and make it wholly Thine; Fill my poor heart with Thy great love divine; Take all my will, my passion, self and pride; I now surrender, Lord, in me abide. 3.

SEARCH ME, O GOD [GHS 177] O Holy Ghost, revival comes from Thee; 4. Send a revival, start the work in me; Thy Word declares Thou wilt supply our need; For blessings now, O Lord, I humbly plead. 4. END OF HYMN
