Reasons why you must be a soul winner
Every pastor must be an evangelist at heart. He must know that he is standing in the midst of a great harvest of souls and must understand that in spite of the many churches around, he is still surrounded by many unsaved souls. Pastors need to know that they must concentrate on the harvest of souls otherwise they will become distracted by money, position and popularity.
1. Without a harvest there will be no souls or sheep to care for. A pastor needs to have souls around to join the choir, prayer ministries, and normal church services and conventions. When there are many people in the pastor's church, they provide financial support for church development projects. Church members will also be able to find suitable marriage partners in a big church. The work of the ministry begins with the harvest.
2. There are few or no specialist harvesters anymore. Specialist harvesters include itinerant evangelists, tele-evangelists, radio evangelists e.t.c. Paul told Timothy in 2 Tim. 4:5, to do the work of an evangelist. He was telling Timothy that even though he was a pastor he could still do the work of an evangelist at the same time.
3. The only reason why pastors care for the church members is so that they will go out and bear fruit. Unless sheep are fed and taken care of, they will not give birth. Some sheep can grow and become a great blessing to the Church of God.
4. The reaping of the harvest is the cardinal sign of the effectiveness of a shepherd's work. Numbers tell a lot about the effectiveness of any ministry. Pastors should not be deceived to think that quality is the only cardinal sign of effectiveness in ministry. The Bible always talked about the large crowds that followed Jesus' ministry.
