WE BUILD CAPACITY WHILE DOING THE WORK


Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest (John 4:35).


PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME 


Some people think that before you can become effective in soul winning, you must first withdraw into isolation to build capacity. But the truth is, when it comes to soul winning, we build capacity while doing the work.


The Lord didn’t say “Build capacity first, then go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature”; no! Rather, He said straight on, “…Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:15). Also in Matthew 28:19, He said, “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations....” He didn’t say build capacity first.


That’s because you already have the Holy Spirit who is the real capacity builder. With Him living inside you, you have the required capacity for effective evangelism. He came into you to make you an effective soul winner: “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth” (Acts 1:8).


Soul winning isn’t something for which you need another “extraordinary” preparation before you begin. 2 Corinthians 3:5-6 says, “Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think anything as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God; Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament….” Think about that! The Holy Spirit has already made you an able minister of the New Testament. He’s already built your capacity; all you have to do is launch out.


The more you win souls the more He increases His grace upon you to do more. So, build greater capacity as you do the work. This is how we grow in faith and develop greater effectiveness in ministry. Take time always to fast, pray, and study the Word; all these will fuel your passion for soul winning and evangelism. Let the Master return to find you diligently working, spreading the message of the Kingdom everywhere.


PRAYER 


Dear Father, thank you for the wisdom and urgency of the Gospel. I declare that as I win souls, I am strengthened and equipped for greater works. I build capacity as I labour in the Gospel, and I am effective in fulfilling your call. Thank you for making me a fruitful labourer in your Kingdom, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Matthew 28:19-20; Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.


2 Timothy 4:2; Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.


2 Corinthians 3:5-6 AMPC; Not that we are sufficiently qualified in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our sufficiency and qualifications come from God. 6 He has qualified us [making us sufficient] as ministers of a new covenant [of salvation through Christ], not of the letter [of a written code] but of the Spirit; for the letter [of the Law] kills [by revealing sin and demanding obedience], but the Spirit gives life.


Acts 1:8 AMPC But you shall receive power (ability, efficiency, and might) when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be My witnesses in Jerusalem and all Judea and Samaria and to the ends (the very bounds) of the earth.

 THURSDAY, JULY 31TH 2025 OUR UNIQUE ASSIGNMENTS IN THE MILLENNIUM Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment. And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land (Isaiah 32:1-2). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME  Our theme scripture is prophetic about the Millennium. The latter part alludes to the unique role we (the Church) would be playing in the millennial reign, when Israel takes center stage. The millennial reign of Christ is not for the Church. It’s for Israel. So, what are we, the Church, going to be doing then? We're going to be carrying out angelic assignments. Our role at the millennial reign of Christ is very different from what a lot of people think; it’s going to be much like what the angels do today in ministering for us. In that day, the Jews will walk in the Millennial blessings that characterize the life of the saints wh...

MONDAY, 14TH JULY 2025 THE VIRGIN BIRTH CONFIRMS HIS DEITY   Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us  (Matthew 1:23). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME    When we say Jesus Christ is deity, we’re affirmingthat He is God. This claim is significant, especially when you consider that many around the world view Jesus merely as a prophet or a great teacher. While it may seem respectful for some to call Him a great prophet or a remarkable teacher, these assertions fall far short of His true identity.    That’s the reason it’s important to understand who He really is by first examining the miracle of His birth. TheBible describes His birth as extraordinary, something that had never occurred in all of history. Matthew 1:18 says, “Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with c...
