TOPIC: GAIN YOUR BROTHER 2
TEXT: MATT. 18: 15-16

Welcome to a new day, and by the Spirit of the Lord, you will not be stranded and when there is a casting down, there shall be a lifting up for you in Jesus' name.
Let's continue from where we paused yesterday. Note the next line of instruction and wisdom to gain your brother into the side of life. Failure to heed this instruction may lead to the loss of peace between you and your brother.
If he shall hear you that is, listen to you, if he be wrought upon by the reproof; it is well, thou hast gained your brother. You have helped to save him from sin and ruin of destiny, and it will be to your credit and comfort, Jas. 5:19, 20. The converting of a soul is the winning of that soul (Prov. 11:30) and we should covet it, and labour for it and after it, as gain to us. If the loss of a soul be a great loss, the gain of a soul is sure no small gain. If he will hear you after you have calmly and amicably resolved the matter, you have gained your sinning brother.
And if he will not hear you, if he will not own himself in a fault, nor come to an agreement , yet do not despair nor get angry but try what he will say to it; if you take one or two or more, not only to be witnesses of what transpires, but to reason the case further with him, he will be the more likely to hearken to them because they are interested and if by the word of reason in the mouth of two or three witnesses will be better spoken to him because many eyes see more than one, and more regarded by him.
Perhaps it will influence him to acknowledge his error and to say, I repent of my wrong doing.
We must not be weary of well-doing, though we see not presently the good success of it. If he will not hear you, yet do not give him up as in a desperate case, say not, It will be to no purpose to deal with him any further; but go on in the use of other means by prayerful intercession, even those that harden their necks must often be reproved, and those that oppose themselves instructed in meekness. In work of this kind, we must travail in birth again (Gal. 4:19) and it is after many pains and throes that the child is born.

To be continued….
Enjoy your day!
