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!

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)

What Does It Mean That Love Is The Fulfillment of The Law?

“How does the law apply to the New Testament believers?” is one of those questions that even the best of God’s people struggle to understand. It is quite surprising that there are those who still believe that the law was given so that by trying to keep it, we may enter heaven. On the opposite end are those who confidently suggest that we don’t need the law because we live by grace, hence we can live any way we please. Both of those ideas are false, of course. How then does the law apply to the redeemed? Let’s begin from the book of Romans. Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law - Romans 13:8. In what way is love the fulfillment of the law? Our text goes on to explain: " For the commandments, 'You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You shall not covet,' and any other commandment, are summed up in this word: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' Love does no wrong t

Locating the Right Lady for Marriage

I was listening to a local radio station and the topic was about the modern generation of men who are no longer interested in being married. In some sense, I can resonate with that because I remember the frustration I had when I was ready for marriage; there was no one among all the church ladies who was woman enough to deserve my hand of marriage. Why is this so, why does it seem like it is becoming harder for church boys to find suitable partners? Now as a disclaimer, this is a Believers-only discussion, we have no business with what worldly people do in the lust of their flesh. Nonetheless, suppose you were hunting for that dream girl, what characters would you look for? Let’s dig in… Salvation I am sorry, but this is non-negotiable. You can’t and you will not build any sustainable Christian home with an unbeliever. A goat will always be a goat and will by no means cooperate with sheep. As I hinted a few articles ago that the greatest challenge in the church today is that a great ma

My Personal Issue With the SDA Church

Indeed I used the word “personal” as the headline of my script, yet the truth is, I have no personal problem with any faith, or church whatsoever. My issue is and will always be a doctrinal one . That is, I begin by looking at Scripture and the truth therein, then use that to judge my own life, and also anything else, including churches and other religions at large. As you might expect, the views expressed in this article are not coming from hear-say, but I have done my homework and consulted the official sources from our brothers in the Seventh Day Adventist Church. These are the concerning issues I have found out. Ellen G White If perhaps you are new to this name, Ellen White is not only the founder of the Seventh- Day movement, but her teachings are also the basis of the entire SDA Church doctrine. Her writings are what the SDA members call “the spirit of prophecy”. It is concerning enough that what she wrote is regarded by the Adventist Church as being “divinely inspired” (on the s
