When We Win Souls

Apostle Grace Lubega

Luke 7:33-35(KJV); For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil. The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners! But wisdom is justified of all her children.

The wisdom of God upon our lives is our vindication. People will always speak all kinds of things about you; they will insult and slander you. However, they should never question the wisdom of God upon your life.

Christ was accused of eating with the wicked, of being a gluttonous man and a winebibber but the wisdom that worked in Him was beyond question.

Even what seemed like foolishness as He hang on the cross turned out to be great wisdom. The Bible says that if the rulers of this world had had wisdom, they would not have killed the son of glory. Even in His death, there was wisdom (1 Corinthians 2:8).

Despite all the accusations and persecution against the Christ, in the end, what He did brought many sons to glory (Hebrews 2:10). That is why the Bible says that they that are wise win souls; it is wisdom to win men to God (Proverbs 11:30).

The Church of Christ has withstood ridicule over time; it has been branded as cultic, revolutionary and even as opium of the people.

It has stood through the ages because of the operation of wisdom. The wisdom herein is that the Church is the conduit through which men are brought to God; souls are won and nations turned to Christ.

Every time you draw people to Christ is an operation of wisdom upon your life.

Turn your eyes away from the naysayers, the persecutors and those that maliciously accuse you. As long as you are in the service of the Father, winning men to Him, wisdom will always be your vindication.

The world will always look at your life and know that you were indeed wise.

His name be praised.

To the glory of your name. Amen.
