TITLE: OPERATION ONE
1. INTRODUCTION
Operation One is an outreach strategy targeted at making every believer responsible for fulfilling the mandate of Jesus Christ in Matthew 28:19-20. It is one thing to know that God wants each of us to win souls always but another thing to make this a personal responsibility. The purpose of Operation One is to make every member of CRM responsible for personal soul winning; especially in this our year of unceasing fruitfulness! Operation One is the idea of CRM Lagos State 1 leadership and has been introduced in the State with positive results since January 2017.
2. WHAT IS OPERATION ONE?
Operation One is One Man, One Soul, One Month.
ONE MAN: Every member of CRM is personally involved. You were saved to save somebody else. 2 Cor. 5:17-18.
ONE SOUL: Every soul is important to God. Luke 19:10. The Saul of yesterday is the Apostle Paul of tomorrow. However it is only when soul winners are at work that conversion of sinners become the order of the day; one by one, day by day. Mark 16:15.
ONE MONTH: God’s expectation is that His children will preach the gospel of salvation in season and out of season; no excuses, no delays. John 4:35, Luke 9:6 and Acts 5:42. However we know from experience that it is not every time we preach that we win a soul. The least expectation is that anyone that keeps preaching through the month will win at least one soul in one month. So operation One is the challenge for every CRM member to win at least One Soul each Month.
3. THE NECESSITY OF OPERATION ONE IN SOUL WINNING
A. Soul Winning is our Father’s Business. John 3:16, 1 Tim.2:1-4. Our Father’s business must be our own personal business also.
B. Soul Winning preserves the salvation of the believer. Ezek. 3:17-21. Believers who refuse to warn sinners will pay with their own souls. What does this imply?
C. Soul Winning is key to great Rewards. John 15:16, 2 Tim. 4:7,8, Dan. 12:3.
D. Soul Winning is the main mission of CRM. We in CRM have God’s mandate to prepare men for the great harvest in the Catholic Church. This assignment is not finished yet.
E. Soul Winning is the key to Church Growth. We must reject the present state of smallness of our church branches. The solution is for all of us to engage in aggressive soul winning. Acts 5:41, 42.
4. STRATEGY FOR IMPLEMENTING OPERATION ONE
A. Every Saturday: Either 6.30am to 8.30am or 4pm to 6pm. One hour of prayers for souls and one hour of soul winning, follow up or Visitation. (Each Centre is to decide how to implement this.)
B. Every First Sunday of the Month: One hour of practical evangelism before or after service. (Each Centre is to decide how to implement this.)
C. On Individual Basis Every week: Bus Evangelism, Neighbourhood Evangelism, Office/Market place Evangelism, Friendship Evangelism, Tracts Distribution, etc.
C. CRM branches that implement Operation One may request for free tracts from the Home Missions Secretariat.
5. CONCLUSION.
Beloved, more than ever before, we must remember that we are soldiers who are engaged in a great and most gruesome warfare. It is time to cast away our civilian garments and put on our warfare attire. It is time to go to war with our spiritual sword. It is time to separate ourselves from civilian pursuits. It is time to get ready for eternity and also prepare others for it. No more ease in Zion. Let us arise and win this war against the powers of darkness as we depopulate hell and populate heaven. We shall have revival cost what it may!
