The Great Divide

You’re listening to ShareLifeAfrica! Think about the closest relationship that you have. Whether it's your spouse, sibling, parent, or friend, what’s the biggest conflict that happened between you? The truth is that sometimes we don't even see eye to eye with those we’re closest to. And the same principle happens in church.

Because each of us are unique, we complete the beautiful body of Christ and help it grow in love and impact—furthering God's kingdom here on earth. But if we let our differences breed conflict, then we’re letting the enemy win. Satan rejoices when God's children turn on each other. First Corinthians sixteen encourages us to "stand firm in the faith; and be courageous; be strong. Do everything in love." Unity is realizing that despite our differences, we as Christians have one important thing in common: we put our trust in Jesus Christ and Him alone for salvation.

So let's work together in unity to spread that hope to our communities! For more resources, visit sharelifeafrica.org

We Need Each Other

You’re listening to ShareLifeAfrica! As a body of Christ, we need each other. Paul was very clear when he wrote in Ephesians four sixteen (4:16) that we’re "joined and held together by every supporting ligament, [which] grows and builds itself up in love, with each one doing its work." As a global community of believers, we’re charged by Christ to work together and fulfill the purpose He left us with:

"Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations..." Now I, for one, am so grateful for the team Christ has given us at Evangelism Explosion (EE). While we come from different cultures, countries, and backgrounds and have different strengths, God has brought us together to disciple Christians to share their faith. And you know what? God has also given you a unique gift that you bring to the church to make His love known.

So let's persevere together and fulfill Jesus' last command! For more on how you and your church can get started in sharing your faith, visit our website at sharelifeafrica.org

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
