Sleeping on the Job
By God’s grace I have benefited from partaking in a recently concluded ten (10) days conference of the World Soul-Winning Evangelistic Ministry which took place at
In the biblical story found in the Old Testament book of Jonah chapter one, God instructed one of His servants by the name of Jonah to travel to a place called
Dr. Paul Obadare helped us to see through this bible story that God has called you as a Christian to be the Jonah that will go to
Any Christian who continues to sleep on the job, refusing to tell others about Jesus, is living in disobedience. Such a life of disobedience will cause one to be disconnected from God (as Jonah lost connection with God for a period). When one is disconnected from God, the next thing is for one for start carrying his own life’s burden by himself (Jonah now had to foot the bill of the place he chose to travel). The next thing that happens to a disobedient Christian is that they start going the wrong way in life (as Jonah was on route to Joppa). Following this he also will become a trouble to the people around him (because of Jonah the ship experienced great storm that would have destroyed all the passengers, had they not thrown him into the sea). What a waste of time and danger to the community! May you not be like Jonah in Jesus name.
There are Christians who start well, doing the work of the gospel, like Demas – Colossians 4:14, but later turn to another way - 2 Timothy 4:10. Be careful not to become a victim backsliding and disobedient spirit.
Please beware: anyone who fails to listen to God’s instruction to win souls will experience desolation – Jer. 22:1-5. Saul’s disobedience tore his kingdom (1 Sam. 13:4-15), for he bowed to the pressure of people’s will instead of following God’s will. You must be careful about how many people are talking and what they are saying to you. Listen to God rather than people and you will remain connected. Jonah initially refused to go and win soul and he got into God’s trouble.
Remember, soul winning is the instruction given by Jesus; it is a duty that all Christians must perform without hesitation – Mat. 28:19. Do not sleep on the job; your job as a Christian is to tell the unsaved about death, resurrection and return of Jesus Christ, who loves people enough to give His life for them. The Apostle Paul said in 1 Cor. 9:16 that, “For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!” Ask for strength from above which will be granted by the Holy Spirit. Ask for the grace to love those souls that are dying so you may go to them sharing the good news of Jesus Christ. God bless you richly.
