The Master's Well Done!

About the Book

This publication, "The Master's Well-Done," is a book on The Stewardship of Prayer, Evangelism (Soul-winning), and The Master's Well-Done. The First Phase of our publication is concerned about the Stewardship of Prayer. Many churches in the land, just as a considerable lot of its individuals from those churches, have neglected to profit themselves of the spiritual power that may be theirs if they followed the claim of early Christians and tarried in the upper room until they, as well, were endued with power from on high. Many Christians experience life with their spirits incredibly undernourished spiritually, and that amidst God's boundless abundance from which we are allowed to choose those nourishments that are expected to make us strong, happy, and useful in the service of the Lord. "We have not because we ask not.." The second phase of this publication concerns Soul-Winning (Evangelism). What number of individuals from your church truly put forth any genuine attempt to win others (souls) to Christ? Since there are in a portion of our churches a few laborers who win various others to Christ during the year, and a significant number of the callings are because of the works of ministers, evangelists, preachers, the genuine number of soul-winners is far less than what we would anticipate. Each Christian who has ever occupied themselves with it will affirm that triumphant spirits carries larger fulfillments to the laborer than some other phase of service on earth. The Bible likewise reveals that the rewards for soul-winning on the earth to come will be bigger than those for some other phase of Christian effort in which we can engage. At long last the third phase of this publication concerns the Master's Well-Done. The Bible gives us reason to believe that there will be degrees of reward in heaven depending on our faithfulness in this life. We can't theorize on the character of these rewards, however we can expect that God has revealed this truth as a stimulus to loyalty and effort. It is beyond imagination or not possible to suppose that the church member who neglects spiritual responsibilities will have the status in heaven as the good steward who gives himself and his means unsparingly for the cause of Jesus Christ. For the latter, heaven will begin with his Master's approving "Well-Done." However, the reward of the faithful Christian is not all deferred to the future. Loyalty to Jesus Christ and his church brings present felicities as well as lasting joys to come. The truly happy Christian is the committed Christian whose happiness is in the joy of service, and for whom heaven awaits.
