THE CRAPPER SPEAKS
Monday, July 17, 2006
If this isn't faith-expanding, I don't know what is! WE SHARED CHRIST ON THE BUS JUST NOW! Woohoo! Feeling exuberant now! DMM was a short one; Nel sent us out to share Christ on the public buses in groups of 3-4. I was with Faith and Xue Ting.
The whole experience was nerve-wrecking. Imagine sitting there on the upper deck of the bus with everyone looking non-chalant and you yourself feeling as if you're going to melt like ice-cream anytime. I was like, "God, must I really?" I didn't have any other excuse; I was too liquid to think of any. I just said, "God, you put words into my mouth, you lead me like you lead Reinhart Bonnke." And off I went. I stood up feeling like a total lunatic...for Christ.
As I began to share, my faith grew. Not many people were listening; some looked away while others got annoyed. Thankfully a few looked at me thoughtfully. A couple who were believers started to alight and as they did, the brother told me, "Brother, I admire your faith." It meant the world while I was there pouring my heart out for Christ, my defenses stripped away. It wasn't long before a lady told me, "I think it's very dangerous for you to be standing while the bus is moving." Full of the Spirit, this time, I replied, "Okay, I'll share while seated then." I felt for the lady when she turned away in annoyancel, because Jesus loves her too.
When I had said my piece, another lady believer applauded, "that was perfect." I knew it wasn't, but I know up there, just as with the lady, Jesus is proud. Not because I've done a miracle or something, but because I obeyed. Though no one was saved today, I believe something inside me stirred. I saw believers whom I didn't know become strengthened by my actions, and I praise God for that.
Thank you Nel, for saying, "Let's be revolutionary," and for initiating it all. You rock. You all rock. Jesus rocks.
