Want To Share Christ; But How Do I Start?

This is the shortest article we will ever write. Forget 10 steps; it is just one easy step on how to begin a conversation towards sharing the Gospel with loved ones and strangers alike.

Many believers are they who sincerely desire to witness about our Saviour but it is just hard to start a conversation about spiritual things. 

Here is the tip;

Just say, “Can I ask you something; what do you think happens when a person dies, do you think there is a heaven?”

That question is the easiest and most non-offensive way of beginning a conversation; everybody loves to share their opinions about many things, especially spiritual matters – just allow them to express what they think. If they hint anything about heaven, press further and ask, “How do you think I can enter that heaven, what do I have to do?” 

Notice that this kind of a question does not intrude on the person’s private religious beliefs – It doesn’t even touch on any church denomination. It is just a general question.

Of course, the obvious answer you will get from many people is that a life dedicated to good works will take you to heaven; that is the false gospel message they have been raised with. The average citizen thinks he or she will give some free food to the poor and God will respond by giving him or her a free ticket to paradise. Therefore, right there it’s where you have to interject and start explaining that we are all guilty sinners before a holy God who will not accept our good works as a bribe for the sins we have committed with our hearts, eyes, thoughts, tongue and body. Then, of course, you end with the Good News of a Saviour who came not to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.

It will be easy therefore to finally invite the person to trust in Christ…not in self efforts – tell them that they have to believe on the One who died for their sins. Remember again our method is to begin by simply asking what they think happens when somebody leaves this world. It is that simple.

Happy evangelism!

Israel/ Palestine: What is the Christian Attitude Towards the War? 2

October 7 2023 is the day when Hamas militants launched a surprise attack on Israel, killing around 1200 civilians including babies, and kidnapping at least 250 more. In response, the Israeli army launched an all-out invasion on the Gaza Strip, bombing everything in this way; killing thousands more innocent civilians; including children. The rest of the world also responded with outrage at this violence, some siding with Israel for its retaliation, claiming “Israel has a right to defend itself.” Others, however, would have none of the Israeli aggression, claiming that “Israel is an apartheid nation that continues to oppress and commit genocide against Palestine masses. The war is still ongoing today (at the time of this writing). My major question today is: what should be the Christian's attitude about this whole issue? Which side shall we join and which shall we condemn?   Just to repeat, I am aware that our opinions are already shaped by our political affiliations, emotional expe

Tithe; The Hidden Truth That You Will Never Be Told

Evangel Africa does not glory in controversies but that everyone may come to the truth of the Gospel as written in Scripture, hence we do encourage everyone to test all our teachings in light of what the Bible says. On that note, without fear or favour, we are going to correctly explain the real truth about tithe that you were never told; its origin and its application to the New Testament believers . This might be the most important thing you will ever read. First, understand this The foundation of all this must begin with your understanding about Covenants. There are two main covenants in the Bible, the Old Covenant and the New Covenant . The Old Covenant was a binding agreement between God and specifically the people of Israel, through strict obedience of the Law in return for God’s blessings (Duet 28:1-14) – while the New Covenant is a binding agreement between God and all people through the work of Jesus on the Cross in return to doing nothing but just faith in Christ (Heb 8:6-13)

The Purpose of the Blood of Jesus is Not Protection from the Devil!

Many believers mistakenly assume that the blood of Jesus Christ was shed to protect us from the devil, demonic spirits and those kind of things. I get really concerned when I hear somebody “applying the blood of Jesus” to their blankets so that witches don’t attack them at night. Scripture, however, reveals a more profound truth about that blood-stained cross. Jesus' blood was shed primarily for the payment and remission of sin, shielding us from God's wrath. The idea that Jesus' blood protects us from the devil stems from a misunderstanding of biblical teachings. I challenge you with your Bible open, where have you seen the blood of Christ applied to witches and satanists? Just to be clear, I do believe that the devil is real. And that he is a vicious lion roaming about seeking to devour God’s people ( 1 Pet 5:8) . However , Jesus' sacrifice was not primarily directed against him. Instead, it is addressed to humanity's fundamental problem: sin . Scripture emphasiz

Is the Church the New & True Israel?

I know that we have strong opinions about this issue. And also our emotions are quite attached to this conversation; all shaped by our experiences, political affiliations and the like – understandably so. However, my duty is to deal with this question: what does the Bible say? Whenever we start with that question, guaranteed, we are shielded from our biases towards the actual truth of the matter. Believe it or not, this is one of the most important things to learn and to have a clear understanding of. It will affect how you read the Bible. Even more, a clear understanding of this issue will affect your attitude toward Jewish people who are in Israel today. Who is Israel by the way? Believe it or not, there are some who disagree on this question, hence I will just let Paul tell us who an Israelite is when he says, … “For I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, a member of the tribe of Benjamin… ”( Rom 11:1 ). Therefore, only the physical, direct descendants of Abraham, Isaac
