Led by the Holy Spirit

You’re listening to ShareLifeAfrica! In Acts one eight (1:8), Jesus tells His disciples, "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the uttermost parts of the earth.”

This important verse teaches us something—we must be led by the Spirit. In fact, sharing the Gospel without the Holy Spirit's help would be pure folly. It is the Spirit that moves in people's hearts in regards to salvation. We have the blessing of being the messenger;but in and of ourselves, we can’t save anyone. Only God can do that.

It is so important that we ask the Holy Spirit to lead and to guide us. And in His power, we can be God's witnesses and take the Gospel to the very ends of the earth. Let's share as God has commissioned us and ask the Holy Spirit to guide us!

The Task

You’re listening to ShareLifeAfrica! Jesus gave us a very clear and important task to do: “Go into all the world and preach the Gospel to all creation."

And let me encourage you today—ministries around the world who have partnered in seeing the world reached with the Gospel are thinking that the Great Commission could be fulfilled as early as 2033! But,you know, it takes all of us as the body of Christ doing the task Jesus has given us.

The Great Commission is not simply a church program. It's not just a few verses left for us. It is the purpose and the calling of every believer who has put their faith in Jesus Christ as their Savior. We need to join God in His kingdom work here on earth and see the people of the world with His heart.

Not sure how to get started? Well, we’d love to help you with that. There are tools like our online training, which is free and can be completed on your own time, on our website at sharelifeafrica.org

Conversion of a Sheikh

You’re listening to ShareLifeAfrica! Recently, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Josue and his team comprised of pastors and lay people went into a village after being discipled in how they could share the Gospel.

Josue was led by the Spirit to the home of Yusufu, who was a devout Muslim. As soon as Josue saw the black mark on his forehead, he wanted to ask his team members to pass the home by. But he felt the Spirit say, "Don't—enter in and share the Gospel with him." Yusufu welcomed them enthusiastically. As the team shared about Jesus,Yusufu began to argue back about Jesus' identity and divinity since Christ is viewed differently in the Muslim faith. However, the more they talked and showed him Scripture, the more he wanted to hear.

And at the end of their time, Yusufu accepted Jesus as His Savior and thanked them for bringing him the true way to eternal life. To learn how you too can share your faith, visit our website at sharelifeafrica.org

Every Nation

You’re listening to ShareLifeAfrica! "Therefore,go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit..."

In Christ’s Great Commission, He specifically told us to reach and disciple men and women all over the world —from every people group, every tribe, tongue, and nation. As we talk about reaching the nations this week, I'd love to share with you a moment I’ll never forget. Back in 1996, EE(Evangelism Explosion) became the first Christian ministry to be planted in every nation of the world. There was this grand ceremony where someone from every nation carried their flag. Their legacy continues today as Christians around the world are still equipping the church to share their faith. The Gospel continues to go forth in power in some of the toughest places on earth.

So let's join our brothers and sisters around the world in sharing the Good News of the Gospel! If you’d like to learn how, visit our website at sharelifeafrica.org

The Eternal Love of God

You’re listening to ShareLifeAfrica! Why do we traditionally use diamonds in wedding rings? Well, it's because of that age-old phrase, "A diamond is forever." They symbolize the never-ending love that a couple vows to one another.

Now, truthfully, diamonds do not last forever...yes, they are sturdy rocks, but all things on earth decay or break. You know what is forever? The eternal, never-ending love of God. Once we put our trust in Jesus Christ alone for our salvation, we gain a priceless relationship with God. And it is eternal. His love for us will never end. In Isaiah fifty-four verse ten (54:10) God tells us, "'For the mountains may move and the hills disappear, but even then my faithful love for you will remain. My covenant of blessing will never be broken,' says the Lord, who has mercy on [us]."

This truth changes everything. Who do you know that needs to hear about the everlasting love of God? Learn more on how to share your faith at sharelifeafrica.org
