God will give the increase
Isaiah 9:7
Of the increase of His government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon His kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgement and with justice from henceforth even forever.
When some people go out to witness, they try to dramatize the message so much that their converts are intimidated and are compelled to accept it. It is true that salvation is a matter of life and death but it is God who does the conviction through the Holy Spirit. Yours as an ambassador of Christ is to present the message simply and clearly for the person to understand and take a decision out of his/her free will. God gives the increase.
1 Corinthians 3:7
So then neither is he that planteth anything, neither he that watereth, but God that giveth the increase.
Furthermore, the fact that you present the message of salvation and win a soul does not mean you are more important than the Pastor or counsellor who will guide the new convert. It is God who actually gives the increase or causes the ambassador of Christ and the Pastor to be successful in performing their duties. Let God be God. Do not take more credit than you deserve, God Himself will reward you at the appropriate time.
God be with you.
How can I apply the word to my life?
1. Whenever you have to help someone to decide to accept the message of salvation or direct someone to take a decision on any area of his/her life, give them scripture references related to the issue, pray with them and allow them to take their own decision.
Prayer
Everlasting Father, may your name be praised and adored at all times. Help me to know what I have to do as an ambassador of Christ and what I have to allow you to do as God. Amen.
