Soul-Winning And the Making of Disciples: Evangelism, #6

By Zacharias Tanee Fomum

The command to preach the Gospel in order to win souls and make disciples of them was given by the Lord Jesus Himself. In this book Soul Winning and the Making of Disciples, Dr. Z.T. Fomum reiterates that command with emphasis on the fact that every child of God is called upon to carry out this Great Commission and anyone who fails to obey is rebelling and courting God's disfavour.

Soul-winning goes hand in glove with the making of disciples because it is a chain process – those won to Him must be made into disciples and taught how to win others and make them into disciples.

In this whole matter, the Spirit-filled life is a prerequisite, for Jesus asked the disciples to wait until they were clothed with power from on high. But the Spirit of God would not fall on the fearful, worldly, indulgent, lovers of ease, lovers of pleasure and compromisers. All such must repent and get right with God.

We send this book out with prayer that the Lord would be pleased to use it to produce labourers in our generation to carry out the urgent task of soul winning and the making of disciples.

PREFACE

The command to preach the Gospel in order to win souls and make disciples of them was given by the Lord Jesus Himself. In this book Soul Winning and the Making of Disciples, Dr. Z.T. Fomum reiterate that command with emphasis on the fact that every child of God is called upon to carry out this Great Commission and anyone who fails to obey is rebelling and courting God’s disfavour.

Soul winning goes hand in glove with the making of disciples because it is a chain process – those won to Him must be made into disciples and taught how to win others and make them into disciples.

In this whole matter, the Spirit-filled life is a prerequisite, for Jesus asked the disciples to wait until they were clothed with power from on high. But the Spirit of God would not fall on the fearful, worldly, indulgent, lovers of ease, lovers of pleasure and compromisers. All such must repent and get right with God.

We send this book out with prayer that the Lord would be pleased to use it to produce labourers in our generation to carry out the urgent task of soul winning and the making of disciples.

INTRODUCTION

OUR MINISTRY AND LONG FASTS

The number of long fasts in our ministry

Today, we prayed from 6:00 a.m. to 8.30 p.m. We took a count during the meeting of the 40-day fasts we have done. They were fifty-nine. Ruth N. was just finishing her eighteenth 40-day fast.

In long fasts we address the enemy. The devil is stricken by long fasts. In prayer, we address our Father. This is what happens generally. I am presently on a forty-day fast so that the goals of this year be accomplished. I am not going to lock up myself in a room because I am fasting. In the course of this fast, I have done a forty-seven kilometre walk from Sanaga to Bafia. We are also praying every night. On Thursday, I will be leaving for Belgium to preach there.

The goal of my fast is that the Lord would add the 250,000 people we want added in our ministry. It is a fast for the goal. You could fast so that the 750 House Churches in Yaounde for this year be planted. If there is hunger for God, there will be hunger to see the lost saved.

The following are some of the Yaounde key women of my ministry: Sisters Emilia Ndinteh, Esther Kouonang, Henriette Kapnang, Celine Bidja, Henriette Mbarga, Prisca Fomum, Mama Evelyne, Ida Gwan, Anastasia Nganomo, Annette Allahdoum, Ida Signing.

Incidentally, they have one thing in common. They are all involved in 40-day fasts. We have the following records in fasting:

Sr. Ruth N. has done 18 forty-day fasts.

Sr. Esther K. has done 12 forty-day fasts.

Br. Victor A. has done 7 forty- day fasts.

Sr. Annette A. has done 7 forty-day fasts.

There are lots of others who have done one, two, three forty-day fasts.

Another sister, Jeanne Lawrence has emerged. She has been leading the choir. You cannot dissociate it from the price she has paid in fasting. She has done four forty-day fasts. There is a relationship between fasting and spiritual might. There is a relationship especially between a forty-day fast and spiritual power. We could represent this below:

Brother Victor, by his many forty-day fasts, has emerged as a church planter. He wins people to the Lord. Even if he has no natural abilities, the spiritual capacities that come with fasting have contributed to make the man he is.

You cannot run away from long fasts

If you run away from long fasts, you have run away from greatness. Some years ago, Sr. Henriette M. could not fast beyond three days. Presently, she is on her third forty-day fast. Fasting is not a natural capacity.

Mind you, food is good and we like it. Do not say that those who fast were framed for it. Do not say, I am thin, so I cannot fast. Fasting has nothing to do with size. Brother Victor who has done
