THE MOSLEMS DEBATE: AN ADVICE

BY PASTOR DEBO DANIEL.

Beloved brother,

I appreciate your comment about moslems saying "bisimilahi" or "allhamdulai" when they enter a bus or taxi or get into any place. What they are doing is acknowledging their god "Allah" and praising him that he is great and there is none like him.
How great it would have been if we as believers would do likewise when we enter any place- to declare that Jesus is Lord,author and finisher of our faith etc.How wonderful it will be if anywhere and everywhere, we are singing praises to our God-in the taxi,in buses in airplanes at every opportunity we have,we sing songs and say things that does not hide whom we believe in and what we believe in.

These are the last days and we must not compromise any opportunity to share the gospel. Some guys will hide their bibles when they know it's a moslem sitting by them whereas that's the time to put it on the table for them to see it. Usually many of them make a comment about it and that's the open door to start sharing the love of Christ.

Sir,I counsel that you don't even wait until they say those things before you begin to sing"He is Lord" or other worship songs. Sometimes this provokes them to talk about Jesus.

Our problem is not with moslems but our enemy is the Allah they worship who has blinded them from seeing the light of the gospel. Immediately after Judas betrayed Jesus,He called him friend.He said in Matt 26:50 "Friend,why have you come"
Jesus differentiated between the sinner and the sin. We should do same. Jesus loves moslems and died for them and he is still interceding for them.He wants them saved but our warfare should be against the spirit called Allah.

Being a former hardliner moslem before and having been given a burden for moslems,I can assure you that many Christians hate,fear and despise moslems whereas we should love and pray for them to win them to Christ.It's love that I was shown that won me to Christ more than preaching.

Brother DANIEL,
I IDENTIFY COMPLETELY WITH WHAT YOU SAID.FAR BE IT REMOVED FROM ME TO HATE ANYONE.I WAS USING THAT ILLUSTRATION TO MAKE THE POINT THAT WE MUST ASK THE HOLY SPIRIT TO WORK ON THE SPIRIT OF TIMIDITY,RECALCITRANCE,PASSIVITY OR WHATEVER THAT SEEMS TO BE HINDERING US FROM SHOWING OURSELVES AS CHRISTIANS.
I HAVE A LOT OF EMPATHY FOR THE UNBELIEVER,PARTICULARLY THE MOSLEM,FOR A LARGE MAJORITY OF THEM WERE BORN INTO IT AND HAVE NEVER ALLOWED THEMSELVES TO LISTEN TO{CONTRARY?} VIEWS.SO ACCIDENTS OF BIRTH,SHOULD NOT BE A BASIS FOR CONDEMNATION.
MAYBE IF WE PROCLAIMED THE GOSPEL A BIT MORE EFFECTIVELY,WE WOULD BE SEEING A DELUGE RATHER THE TRICKLE OF NEW CONVERTS WE ARE EXPERIENCING PRESENTLY.
I WOULD LIKE TO USE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO RESOUND THE CLARION CALL......BRETHREN,AWAKEN FROM YOUR SLUMBER.
SHALOM,
