You’re listening to ShareLifeAfrica! It’s a fact—most people who love Jesus and embrace the Bible as God’s Holy Word never share the Gospel. I was in that same situation. I never thought anyone would listen to me, but God granted me the opportunity to see that spiritual light turn on in others’ lives as they made professions of faith in Jesus.
All it took was some tools and training that helped me share. And it’s not just me but millions of others also. One Vietnamese couple comes to mind. They’re from Canada.They attended Sunday services and Bible studies for years. They are very involved in their church. But they didn’t know how to share their faith. After they gathered a few resources and some training to get started, it changed their lives. Other Christian friends saw this dramatic change too.
Now they are faithfully, fruitfully witnessing. And it's never too late to get started! If you'd like to learn to share your faith, we have tips, tools, and resources to help get you started at sharelifeafrica.org

You’re listening to ShareLifeAfrica! Have you checked off your Christian to do list today? Barna Research did a study that shares that most churchgoers equate spiritual maturity with following a list of rules. But that's not what the Bible says at all!
Instead, Jesus tells us to abide in Him to produce spiritual fruit. Spiritual maturity isn't measured by checking all the boxes—it's measured by the Fruit of the Spirit. And the Fruit of the Spirit is produced by the Lord working in us as we abide in Him! Lamentations three says that because of the Lord's great love we're not consumed -His mercy is new every morning, and great is His faithfulness! The Lord is so gentle with us and faithful to us.
So, instead of focusing on what you think will make you look like a better Christian, focus on the power of the Holy Spirit, and spread the Gospel gently and faithfully to everyone you can. For resources to help you get started, visit our website at sharelifeafrica.org

You’re listening to ShareLifeAfrica! Isn't God good? All the time! All the time, God is good. We also know that He is kind...and He is patient. Just ask Bill! Bill had been praying for decades for his sister-in-law to come to saving faith in Jesus.
He patiently prayed for her heart to be softened, and she finally accepted Jesus as her Lord and Savior. Talk about a celebration! You see, the Fruit of the Spirit includes patience, kindness, and goodness. This story shows us God's kindness and goodness, and His patient pursuit of our hearts! The Lord gave Bill patience to pray for his sister-in-law and the words to speak the Gospel to her. Romans two four (2:4) says it's the kindness of the Lord that brings us to repentance.
How can you be an example of patience, kindness, and goodness? Look to the Lord and His Word, and He will produce the Fruit of His Spirit in you. For resources to help you share your faith, visit our website at sharelifeafrica.org

You’re listening to ShareLifeAfrica! Have you heard the old song, "I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart?" Well, if you know Jesus then you can experience true joy! And you can spread it, too!
When you placed your trust in Jesus alone, you've experienced the love of God; and there is true joy and peace in knowing where you'll spend eternity. Love, joy, and peace are part of the fruit of the Spirit; and we can use these God-given characteristics to lead people to saving faith in Him. Pio sent in his testimony on whats my story dot org, and he shared that before his brother led him to Jesus that he struggled with immense angry.
Now that he knows Jesus, he says his heart is full of peace and joy and that he can now share love and forgiveness with others! This, my friend, is the Fruit of the Holy Spirit. For more resources to help you share your faith, visit our website at sharelifeafrica.org

You’re listening to ShareLifeAfrica! Have you heard of the "Fruit of the Spirit?" Galatians five twenty-two and twenty-three(5:22-23) list nine characteristics of a Holy Spirit-filled life:
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law." When you look at the life of Jesus, you see every one of these qualities. If you'll devote yourself to Him, you'll look like He does! If you're walking close to the Lord, you'll see the Fruit of the Spirit in your own life; and these traits will help you become an effective witness for Jesus!
Now, you may be thinking, "how can I share the Gospel using the Fruit of the Spirit?" Well, think each one and use them in your actions and speech. Let your intentions be out of love, speak with joy, share His peace and be patient with those you share with.
