Speak Up

You’re listening to ShareLifeAfrica!

Are you scared to speak up? While every Gospel conversation may not go exactly how you would like, the Lord will use what you say for His glory, if you do it for Him. My friend, Jim, told me about a time where he just didn't know what to say. He had been witnessing to a Buddhist woman in Burma and she said that her family would disown her if she accepted Jesus. I mean, talk about a roadblock! Well, Jim prayed as he was speaking with her and told her that if she did accept Jesus that the Lord would take care of her.You know what?

That simple answer was exactly what she needed to hear. And she left that day, a daughter of the Most High God! You see, everyone needs the Gospel, and you never know who might accept Him today.

So let's speak up! Learn more about how you can learn to share your faith at sharelifeafrica.org 

Declare God’s Power

You’re listening to ShareLifeAfrica!

If you were given the opportunity to impart something meaningful to the next generation, what would you talk about? Well for David, a man after God’s own heart, he declared in the book of Psalms, “Even when I am old and gray, do not forsake me, O God, till I declare your power to the next generation, your might to all who come.” Daniel also speaks of this and adds that God's Kingdom is eternal.

On this side of eternity, we can only personally experience our one life. But God is everlasting. And if we've put our trust in Jesus, we will spend eternity with Him. And while we are here on this earth as "strangers in a foreign land," this is our opportunity to tell others of God's power and how He conquered sin and death. He did that through Jesus dying on the cross for our sins!

Now, who can you share that with this week? For more resources on sharing your faith, visit our website at sharelifeafrica.org 

God’s Kingdom here on Earth

You’re listening to ShareLifeAfrica! In the famous Lord's Prayer, we read, "Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." What would God's kingdom here on earth look like?

Well, we would have to take a look at heaven first to answer that. Heaven is described as having every tribe, every tongue, every nation praising and glorifying the Lord Almighty. How can we mirror that here on earth? The ones who praise God are the ones who know Him. The ones who bring Him glory are the ones who have decided to live for Him. And there are still many who have yet to even hear the Good News of the Gospel. So how do we bring God's kingdom here on earth?

Well, we boldly share the Good News of how Jesus came and died so that we may have life in Him. And as others gain a relationship with our Lord and Savior, they too can bring Him glory and praise.

God, Give us Your Vision

You’re listening to ShareLifeAfrica! What would the world look like if we saw it through God's eyes? Would we be more brave? Compassionate? Would our priorities change? In the Old Testament, God granted the prophet Elisha's request to let his servant see the reality of their situation through His eyes.

Instead of trembling in fear from the earthly military in front of him, he rested in the protection of the massive, angelic army he saw. In the New Testament, we see Jesus, who is God in the flesh, interact with people in compassion and love—even for the ones no one else wanted to be around. How can we too have the same vision?

Well, we need to ask Him for it! And He will be faithful to both change our sight and hearts as we see people the way that He does. Let our prayer today be, "God, give us your vision. Guide us as we seek to share your love." For more information, visit our website at sharelifeafrica.org

A Restored Relationship

You’re listening to ShareLifeAfrica! We live in a fractured, broken world. Now, you’re probably saying, "John...that’s not news to me." And you're right—you can turn on the TV and see the evil and destruction that happens every day because of sin.

All human beings have had this same problem—our wrongdoings separate us from a holy and just God. But the beauty of grace is that even though it wasn't His problem, God chose to solve it through Jesus dying in our place. And ff we will believe in Him, He will take away our sins as far as the east is from the west.

Every Christian has chosen to believe this truth and has gained an amazing relationship with God; but there are many people in this world who haven't yet done so. And we need to be willing to go and tell them so that they too can be in a right relationship with God. For more on how to share the Gospel, visit our website at sharelifeafrica.org
