Making Men-Catchers: Click | View Series

Matthew 4:19—And he said to them, "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men."

Our desire should be to be men-catchers; and the way to attain to that sacred art is to be ourselves thoroughly captured by the great Head of the College of Fishermen. When Jesus draws us we shall draw men.

GOD'S ROLE: "I will make you."

Our following Jesus secures our education for soul-winning.

1. By our following Jesus he works conviction and conversion in men: he uses our example as a means to this end.
2. By our discipleship the Lord makes us fit to be used.
   • True soul-winners are not self-made, but Christ-made.
   • The making of men-catchers is a high form of creation
3. By our personal experience in following Jesus he instructs us till we become proficient in the holy art of soul-winning.
4. By inward warnings he guides us what, when, and where to speak.
   These must be followed up carefully if we would win men.
5. By his Spirit he qualifies us to reach men.
   The Spirit comes to us by our keeping close to Christ.
6. By his secret working on men's hearts he speeds us in our work.
   He makes us true fishers by inclining men to enter the gospel net.
