She brought her equally troubled brother to church, and he obeyed.
Their mother, who was at her wit's end, saw her transformed children and came to church. She believed.
The grandmother, seeing the Word of God transform the lives of her faithful daughter and her faithful grandchildren, came to church and accepted Christ.
The grandfather followed suit.
And the light came upon their family, banishing the darkness.
More of their family members followed.
By the Manifestation of Christ's Authority, the mother and her children have shown their family what being a Christian is truly about. They are now guided solely by the Conviction of the Holy Spirit. Their transformed lives in God have convinced their family that the Lord is indeed good. Hence the family gospelisation.
Being a Christian. What does it mean?
- Being a Christian does not mean we need to memorise biblical verses.
- Being a Christian does not mean we have to drag every Tom, Dick & Harry from the streets to evangelise to them.
- Being a Christian does not mean holding on to the law and judging people as sinners.
- Being a Christian does not mean going around with a holier-than-thou attitude.
Being a Christian means to demolish our old mindsets. Die and resurrect with Christ and become born-again Christians. Model our lives after Jesus Christ. Let Him manifest His authority within us, in our homes, in our working fields, among friends, acquaintances and strangers. Let them see for themselves what being a Christian is like.
Being a Christian means not enforcing our own will in all situations. Wait for the conviction of the Holy Spirit, and be guided solely by the Holy Spirit. We won't have any baggage chaining us down if we simply leave everything to the Holy Spirit.
God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. The Trinity God. The only answer to all problems.
