Who is doing the Job? This even christian make faults!
I was going home one day after church. My friends and I just talked about the end times. Five of the seven seals were broken. The end times are near. These are nothing to do with science.
When i found out that five of seven are broken, let me tell you this, i was friggin afraid. I was like extremely nervous. What about my friends? The closing end times are worrying us. What i was worried about is not about myself. But it is my friends and families who are not saved. I prayfor them. Everyday, sometimes thrice a day. I cannot bear to see these unsaved people living in hell forever, while i am enjoying in heaven.
I was thinking and thinking about this issue. Then i saw my friend. He offered me a lift. I accepted the offer. In the car, i was telling him about this. I told him how worried for my friend, called jakal(not his real name). The first person that i would think of about evangalism is him. I cannot bear seeing him on earth when i was raptured!
I told my friend who is in the car about him, and what i wanted to do to get him in the light. However, my friend who is in the car told me this, "he wont convert. Just looking at him, you know that he cannot convert. He is not those type. He wont convert."
Let me ask you.. WHO IS DOING THE JOB? ARE YOU DOING IT FOR YOURSELF OR FOR GOD? I know that he may be difficult to convert. But i will never give up in him
This is the LORD's battle, why do you give up? This is not a 50:50 chance. This is a WIN if you convince him, in the spirit of God. For it is said:
"For they overcame the devil, not by might, not by power, but by the spirit"
"They cast out the demons not by might, not by power, but by the spirit of God"
H.O.W_C.A.N_Y.O.U give up hope? This battle is in God's hands! And evangalism is NOT man's work. It is God's work. HOW CAN YOU leave a person stranded in the freezing sea, lost in all direction, when your lifeboat is only a quarter full? HOW CAN YOU give up on your friends who are so dear to you? HOW CAN YOU EVER show that type of love? Do you not love him? He is NOT to be neglected. Even all materials and money on earth is NOTHING compared to ONE SOUL. Why do you neglect him? Do you know that by passing a judgement on your friend that he could not be converted, you are actually betraying him? You are, as if with your friend in a party. You are drinking wine. You know that his wine is heavily doped. But you continued to talk to him, assuming that that doped wine will do no harm, but it will.
This is exactly how it is if you give up on that person.
I believe that Jakal would soon know the light. I will be in tears of joy if he turns to God. I pray he will. He is the person i pray about the most. Sometimes i just do not know how to answer. But what it is sure that i am sure that God is there.
Jakal is almost there. It is not a process whereby it is something like a meter. But it is from the heart. He wants to believe. But he does not know how to. I pray he read this post.
This is not about my care for him. It is about God's care. If not for God, why would i worry? Why would i pray? Why would i sacrifice so much time thinking and praying?
I just feel a need. We should. We must.
Imagine this.
You are in this luxurious liner. Suddenly, the hull cracked. You and your friends go to the lifeboat corner. You manage to get to the lifeboat. The lifeboat is steady and big. It is only 10 out of 100 filled. And you see one of your friends. You look in his eyes. You save him. He got saved. And then you turn your eyes to another of your best friend. He is struggling in the water. The temperature of water will cause hyperthermia within a minute, and yet you abandon him. Why? You assume that he will not have the strength to climb on the boat. You assume that the boat will capsize and kill every person.
Then you all sailed to a land. To a port. You arrive safely. The harbour crew are shocked to see that there are only eleven in the lifeboat. However, you are later informed by experts that this lifeboat is tested on waters, with 200kg/meter square of pressure, Tested with 6500 kg on the lifeboat itself. And it still remained stable. Even if waves are pushing from different directions.
Then you regret. You should have let him in. You could have saved his life. You all could have spent the rest of your life together.
But you wasted this. A little too late. What is done, is done.
You do not want that to happen do you? Do not judge anyone. Do not give assumptions. GOD IS THE CAUSE. GOD IS DOING THE WORK.
"i can do all things through christ who strengthens me"
phil 4:3
What is impossible in God? Christians, you know that nothing is impossible in him. So don't give up. He is your pillar. You are the salt of the earth, the light of the world.
You can do all things through christ who strengthen you.
