This is a testimony shared by my christian friend and I find it encourages me expecially when we are sharing the good news with our loved one and have not seen any result yet. Here it goes: Recently a sister shared that one of her church brothers had been sharing the Good News with his mother, but the old lady refused to listen. This brother pressed on for many years, and one day as usual when the opportunity arose, he began to share the Gospel with her again. But this time the mum immediately said Ok. So he led her to Christ and subsequently she was baptized. Out of curiosity, he asked her why she responded positively on that day? She said,"That day your face shone so brightly that I could not look at you and so I agreed to get it done with".
Praise The Lord, we can never put God in a box as to how He works, God is just too magnificent!, too awesome! All glory to Jesus
Matthew 12: 36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. In the past, whenever I read this verse, I am very much afraid because I am always guilty of saying many worthless words. However, now I began to see this verse in a different perspective. This verse is meant for our protection, a reminder and also our guiding principle in the way we talk and relate to people because there are consequences in our spoken words. In Proverbs 18:21 we see that Death and life are in the power of the tongue. There is power in our words, it may either bring life or death to the hearer. The Psalmist also knew there are consequences in men's spoken words and thus they sought God's help:- Psalm 141:3 Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips. May this be our prayer : "Let my speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that I may know how I ought to answer every man. Col 4:6
