Below are some of the characteristic of a soul winner.


  • love for sinner- A good soul winner loves sinners. You cannot win somebody you don’t love. God first love us even when we where yet sinners and he gave his only begotten son.(John 3:16)  If you must be effective in your outreach and campaigns. Then you must love your target sinners.

  • constant fellowship- A good soul winner must be in constant fellowship with the holy spirit through prayer – An effective soul winner must be a prayer person. If you are not fervent in prayer then, just be sure you will not be a successful soul winner. Prayers has to be made to the Lord for a successful soul winning campaign else all of your moves will be mechanical.

  •  sensitive to the holy spirit- A soul winner must be sensitive to the holy spirit leading. He must have trained himself to be able to understand exactly what to do at very point in times.

  • must be word full- he must be full of God’s word. He must be knowledgeable in the word.

  • must be very courageous and this comes by hearing Gods word (Rom 10:17). He must not be timid or fearful (2 Timothy 1:7).


Three (3) steps to winning any soul for Christ

 


There are three very vital steps to winning any soul for Christ. Any soul winner that wants to be effective in doing the work of the Lord must have to follow all of this processes whether the evangelism is a one on one , open air etc.
Soul winning is the primary work the lord has
 commanded us to do (mark 16:15, Matt 28:1
8-20.) And until you begin to win souls for the
 Lord you are not a doer of word.(James 1:22)
Any serious minded Christian should be about
 soul winning for the Lord.
Prayer-

prayer is the first step to become an effective soul winner
prayer is the number one thing you should know and practice. If you are not a consistent prayer person, you cannot be effective in your soul winning. You need to understand that the people you are trying to win already have a god (2 corinth 4:4). To be able to take them away from satan you need to be fervent. Another
importance of prayer in soul winning is that prayer can be made for a particular ( target ) soul. And this one is very effective. If special prayers and supplications are made for a particular soul, that soul will tend to be more yielding and will respond to the gospel.ie message of salvation.  

 We cannot underestimate or size the importance of prayer in evangelism.

       Message-

throughout the bible, men where saved as they heard the message of salvation. The next thing now is the message-what is your Message? When some people tries to win souls for Christ instead of using salvation scriptures to win the soul, they try to win the soul with things that they have heard or stories of some sought that is not backed by scripture. faith ( faith for salvation ) comes to the hearer by the word of God.
   Some even try’s to condemn the soul they are preaching to. When you are out for evangelism don’t condemn anybody especially on a one-on-one method, use scriptures like (John 3:16), (Acts 4:12) etc. and be persuasive. Rom 6:23, John 1:12,etc.
  
 Let them understand how God so loved them that he gave his son for them.
        When you are out for evangelism don’t argue, and also refused to be distracted remain focused on the mission. To become an effective soul winner you should be very conversant with scriptures. Study to show thy self approved
  As a soul winner never loose your temper while trying to win a soul for Christ.
        Follow up- 

your evangelism is not complete with out follow up. Apostle Paul followed up all of his souls. Evangelism is not complete without follow up. After winning a soul it is your responsibility to follow him up, feed him with the milk of the word, ensure that he is established in a church.
