Testimony Against Them!

Can you believe it? People can say such things about God and His Church!
"Brainwashing you" ... "Why give 10% tithe?" ... "I 'love' God but not His fan-clubs"!!!

These are just a sample of what blasphemies I hear everyday! The sad thing is that there are people so harden in their hearts. I have fought the good fight and defended against their mockery and went on the offensive. They claim I was being very aggressive even though I felt that I was only starting. But I don't care for its even written, that "the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force" (Matthew 11:12).

It truly pays to belong to a strong and balanced Church like City Harvest Church. The one thing that I was most sad of is their lack of faith. I have surely fought the good fight and have gained good ground against them. Then God really shot a Word into my spirit let me remember these verses...

Luke 9:4-6
"Whatever house you enter, stay there, and from there depart. And whoever will not receive you, when you go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet as a testimony against them." So they departed and went through the towns, preaching the gospel and healing everywhere.

Wow, these verses really made all the difference. It was so relevant to what I am facing. As it is harvest time, I went from one to another, invite them to Church but I have yet to bear any fruits yet but instead of getting a positive responds, I receive such a reception. From that moment on, I decided to be a testimony against them.

There are some that got so angry but silenced that they do not even say a word to me, dare not even come close to me over such issues. Well I dare them to come again, as I am more prepared and more heavily armed to take them all on. I do fear them for my God has not given us a Spirit of Fear but of power and of love and of a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). Some had even said why am I always so cheerful and happy. They see such a difference presence in me. Although they tried to derail me by saying stuff to try to change that, I was so encouraged that they see a difference.

God is good and that through such a stand-off, I was actually able to short-list the people that were very potential and open to The Word of God. I believe that progressively, I would be able to attain as many souls in my 2+ years in National Service to be disciples of Christ.
