Rhapsody of Realities 13 August 2025: We Build Capacity While Doing the Work
SCRIPTURE: (John 4:35) Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? Behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.
Some people think that before you can become effective in soul winning, you must first withdraw into isolation to build capacity. But the truth is, when it comes to soul winning, we build capacity while doing the work.
The Lord didn’t say “Build capacity first, then go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature”; no! Rather, He said straight on, “…Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:15). Also in Matthew 28:19, He said, “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations. ” He didn’t say build capacity first.
That’s because you already have the Holy Spirit who is the real capacity builder. With Him living inside you, you have the required capacity for effective evangelism. He came into you to make you an effective soul winner: “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth” (Acts 1:8).
Soul winning isn’t something for which you need another “extraordinary” preparation before you begin. 2 Corinthians 3:5-6 says, “Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think anything as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God; Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament….” Think about that! The Holy Spirit has already made you an able minister of the New Testament. He’s already built your capacity; all you have to do is launch out.
The more you win souls the more He increases His grace upon you to do more. So, build greater capacity as you do the work. This is how we grow in faith and develop greater effectiveness in ministry. Take time always to fast, pray, and study the Word; all these will fuel your passion for soul winning and evangelism. Let the Master return to find you diligently working, spreading the message of the Kingdom everywhere.

Matthew 28:19-20
19 Go then and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
20 Teaching them to observe everything that I have commanded you, and behold, I am with you all the days (perpetually, uniformly, and on every occasion), to the [very] close and consummation of the age. Amen (so let it be).
2 Timothy 4:2
2 Herald and preach the Word! Keep your sense of urgency [stand by, be at hand and ready], whether the opportunity seems to be favorable or unfavorable. [Whether it is convenient or inconvenient, whether it is welcome or unwelcome, you as preacher of the Word are to show people in what way their lives are wrong.] And convince them, rebuking and correcting, warning and urging and encouraging them, being unflagging and inexhaustible in patience and teaching.
2 Corinthians 3:5-6
5 Not that we are fit (qualified and sufficient in ability) of ourselves to form personal judgments or to claim or count anything as coming from us, but our power and ability and sufficiency are from God.
6 [It is He] Who has qualified us [making us to be fit and worthy and sufficient] as ministers and dispensers of a new covenant [of salvation through Christ], not [ministers] of the letter (of legally written code) but of the Spirit; for the code [of the Law] kills, but the [Holy] Spirit makes alive.
Acts 1:8
8 But you shall receive power (ability, efficiency, and might) when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be My witnesses in Jerusalem and all Judea and Samaria and to the ends (the very bounds) of the earth.
