Purpose: He Who Win Soul Is A Real Winner
‭‭
Proverbs 11:30
The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise. —

‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭9:19-22‬ ‭

“For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win the more; and to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might win Jews; to those who are under the law, as under the law, that I might win those who are under the law; to those who are without law, as without law (not being without law toward God, but under law toward Christ), that I might win those who are without law; to the weak I became as weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.”

Five times in 1 Corinthians 9:19-22, he used a Greek word (kerdaino) that means “to gain,” “acquire,” or “win (over).” It was a transactional term used in the ancient business world to describe making a profit or trading up for something better.

2 essential qualities of an effective soul-winner/Trader In Paul’s Lifestyle… He was laser-focused on soul-winning.

1.An effective soul-winner has a servant’s heart.

In 1 Corinthians 9:19, Paul stated that he had made himself “a slave to everyone, in order to win more people.”

Vs 22: I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.”

The word Paul used for slave means “a bond-slave,” someone who was the property of another.

Above all else, Paul considered himself to be Christ’s bond-slave. Yet, he understood that serving Christ involved humbly serving others in Christ’s name.Ephesians 5:21

2.An effective soul-winner has a selfless attitude.

Paul reminded the believers of Corinth that they were to “do everything for the glory of God” (1 Cor. 10:31).

Evidently, the Corinthians liked to boast about themselves.

They considered their favorite preacher to be better than all the rest (1:12-13).

They wanted to be known as the most tolerant of sexual freedom (5:1-2).

They desired to have the flashiest or most mysterious spiritual gifts (12:4-11).

Paul sought to correct the Corinthians’ arrogance by reminding them that the gospel’s essence was to love

God with all one’s heart and love one’s neighbor as oneself. In other words,

“God first; others second; and me last.”

Conclusion
Will you be a Soul Trader with a Servant Heart and A self less Attitude.
