Recently I had a conversation with a woman who had experienced a very difficult situation. The stress had affected her health, so she had to visit the doctor frequently. But with a smile on her face, she told me that she has been able to use this painful circumstance as an opportunity to share Christ with her doctor.
In the book of Philippians, we read how the apostle Paul used his difficult situationimprisonmentto preach the gospel. The Philippian believers were grieved because Paul had been arrested for preaching Jesus, but he told them that his bondage had actually turned out for the furtherance of the gospel (1:12). The whole palace guard and others knew why he was in jailbecause he preached Christ. Whoever came in contact with Paul heard about Jesuswhether soldiers (who guarded him 24 hours a day, 7 days a week) or others outside. As a result of using his bad news to share the good news, some of the guards may have even become believers (4:22). Just because Paul was confined didnt mean that the gospel was confined.
As Jesus-followers, we can allow our pain to be a platform to share the gospel. In our bad news, lets find an opening to share the good news.
Read: Philippians 1:12-22
Where ever we are, what ever we do, whomever is there also, we have opportunity to tell the message ...
Jesus saves, Jesus loves, Jesus gave, Jesus is the way to God. Pray for salvation, and forgiveness of sins. Give our life to the Lord. Repent in truth. He will change thee. It is He that causes the change within us. Thank thee Lord, we love thee. Amen
