Daniel 11:33 (Amplified Bible)
11:33 And they who are wise and understanding among the people shall instruct many and make them understand, though some [of them and their followers] shall fall by the sword and flame, by captivity and plunder, for many days.
Daniel 11:35 (Amplified Bible)
11:35 And some of those who are wise, prudent, and understanding shall be weakened and fall, [thus, then, the insincere among the people will lose courage and become deserters. It will be a test] to refine, to purify, and to make those among [God’s people] white, even to the time of the end, because it is yet for the time [God] appointed.
Daniel 11:30 (Amplified Bible)
11:30 For the ships of Kittim [or Cyprus, in Roman hands] shall come against him; therefore he shall be grieved and discouraged and turn back [to Palestine] and carry out his rage and indignation against the holy covenant and God’s people, and he shall do his own pleasure; he shall even turn back and make common cause with those [Jews] who abandon the holy covenant [with God].
Matthew 24:45 (Amplified Bible)
24:45 Who then is the faithful, thoughtful, and wise servant, whom his master has put in charge of his household to give to the others the food and supplies at the proper time?
1 Corinthians 3:10 (Amplified Bible)
3:10 According to the grace (the special endowment for my task) of God bestowed on me, like a skillful architect and master builder I laid [the] foundation, and now another [man] is building upon it. But let each [man] be careful how he builds upon it,
2 Peter 3:15 (Amplified Bible)
3:15 And consider that the long-suffering of our Lord [His slowness in avenging wrongs and judging the world] is salvation (that which is conducive to the soul’s safety), even as our beloved brother Paul also wrote to you according to the spiritual insight given him,
As believers we shine like sun in the sky, and our brightness shines in the way we live thru our lifestyle of faith and these are exposed to unbelievers, the one that they listen to is your own life that you display to them much more that what you say. We are an open book to them. They see where we go every Sunday.
B. Soul-winners will shine like the stars
"and those who turn many to righteousness (to uprightness and right standing with God) [shall give forth light] like the stars forever and ever"
As an additional bonus of reward to us by GOD, we can also shine at the same time as stars if we evangelize or soul win others for CHRIST.
Turn or "tsadaq" in Hebrew meaning:
1. to be right
2. cleanse, clear self
3. justify
4. righteousness
Many or "rab" in Hebrew meaning:
1. abundant
2. abound
3. plentous
So it's just not one deal, that you soul win and then forget about it, you lead them to righteousness, you train them to be like you - a believer and follower of CHRIST.
Jeremiah 23:22 (Amplified Bible)
23:22 But if they had stood in My council, then they would have caused My people to hear My words, then they would have turned them [My people] from their evil way and from the evil of their doings.
Before John the Baptist was beheaded he was a mighty evangelist and soul winner for the LORD.
Luke 1:16-17 (Amplified Bible)
1:16 And he will turn back and cause to return many of the sons of Israel to the Lord their God,
1:17 And he will [himself] go before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn back the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient and incredulous and unpersuadable to the wisdom of the upright [which is the knowledge and holy love of the will of God]—in order to make ready for the Lord a people [perfectly] prepared [in spirit, adjusted and disposed and placed in the right moral state].
Philippians 2:16-17 (Amplified Bible)
2:16 Holding out [to it] and offering [to all men] the Word of Life, so that in the day of Christ I may have something of which exultantly to rejoice and glory in that I did not run my race in vain or spend my labor to no purpose.
2:17 Even if [my lifeblood] must be poured out as a libation on the sacrificial offering of your faith [to God], still I am glad [to do it] and congratulate you all on [your share in] it.
James 5:19-20 (Amplified Bible)
5:19 [My] brethren, if anyone among you strays from the Truth and falls into error and another [person] brings him back [to God],
5:20 Let the [latter] one be sure that whoever turns a sinner from his evil course will save [that one’s] soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins [procure the pardon of the many sins committed by the convert].
John 4:36 (Amplified Bible)
4:36 Already the reaper is getting his wages [he who does the cutting now has his reward], for he is gathering fruit (crop) unto life eternal, so that he who does the planting and he who does the reaping may rejoice together.
I remember a person I evangelize before several years turn into a pastor now he pastors a church. You'll never know. You can't judge or see from the external appearance. What you need to do is consider everyone you evangelize a pastor or evangelist in the making.
IX. CONCLUSION:
Praise, worship and thank You very much LORD JESUS for we shine like sun in the sky and stars at night because of You.
