A Soul is priceless

“Or what woman, having ten silver coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it?" Luke 15.8

1 - Light a lamp

2 - Sweep the house

3 - Search carefully until find it

Dear reader, how much would you pay for a soul? Or how much would you pay for your own soul? I honestly believe that you would say, “Souls are priceless”. That’s correct! Souls are priceless, but how far have you gone to save one soul?

In the parable of the lost coin we can see in a very clear way, the strong desire and determination of of a woman to find a single coin that she had lost inside of her own house. In her mind she would never accept to lose something that one day she had brought inside of the house. She did whatever she could until she found it.

How many people do we know who used to be very active in the church. They were participating in the same glory and greatness of God along with us, but today we do not find them in the House of God anymore? I am sure that right now the remembrance of these people just pop up into your mind, and you say, ‘Oh yes, it’s true! They are the coin that was lost inside of the house.

God wants us to act just like the woman did. Light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until we find the coin. Though in the Bible is not mentioned how long she took to find it, but I do believe that she found the coin in the very same day.

Dear assistant, let us work on that from today until Saturday, you are going to do like the woman did until you find a lost soul to bring back to the house of God this Sunday. It is needless to say that God will bless you.

  “And when she has found it, she calls her friends and neighbors together, saying, "Rejoice with me, for I have found the piece which I lost! Likewise, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.” Luke 15. 9-10

Can God count on you?
