Nathi

1. The Woman testified and many of the Samaritans believed because of the testimony

Wow thank God, I have testified and preached Christ..People have believed Him, what a great wondeful thing..thank God..

But wait a minute, there is more need to be done by a believer of the testimony, You don't become satisfied but you

2. You urge Him[Jesus Christ] to stay with you and He will stay more than two days but till eternity by Holy Spirit fellowship, and many more believed[Because Him Spoke they believed, why? Because His lips are full of Grace, he speak beutiful words and they got power o change a Human being]

This tell us you don't need to here us only preach and you believe and end there but you need to go further urge Him to stay with you, you need to seek Him everyday, until come to the full knowledge of Him.......Then we will here You say

3."We no longer believe just because you have testified, preached, evangelized to us, because my parents are born again, because I've seen Him change my brother who was drunkard, I've seen prostitute chande, i've deaf seeing etc. that's wonderful..but now I believe in HIM because I've heared Him speak face to face with me, heared His voice, I've had an encounter with Him, Seen Him touch Him, experience His presence and Glory that's why I believe that He is indeed the saviour of the world, He has indeed made me to hear and see, I no longer live but it's Him who lives in me''

The reason there are so many lukewarm Christian, we ended in Step 1...We need to go beyond the testimony, seek Him ourselves..testimony and preachings are steping stones, increasers of apetite to seek Him more.........Are you a Christian because your parants are christian, or because somebody say Jesus Saves? you can't say the Lord is my Sheppered if you don't know the Sheppered you need to come to the level of know the voice of the shepered and knowing Him, if people can go beyond us preacheres of Good news, testifies..and seek Him, read the bible, pray, meditate, praise Him, walk on His ways..the Christian would be having a 100% Gospel not the diluted gospel which is around the world, the blood of Jesus is 100% it need no dilution..the Gospel without holiness and power of the Spirit of God is dead.

Amen

Another Sister opened that scripture, i realised why I was a still a captive of sin a lier and everthing, even though I called myself saved since I went to the altar in the revival (4 yrs ago), but the reason is that I didn't invite Him to come in..I invited Him(7 month ago), and He is dining with me, Him and the Father under the fellowship of Holy Spirit......I am dying everyday, and He is Living in me.........A Quetion.....Do you really know Him??

Nathi.... that is a wonderful testimony. I did not know if you were directing that last question to me or throwing it out to everyone.
Yes , Nathi , thanks I really do know Him and there is a difference between knowing of Him and knowing Him. I accepted Jesus into my heart very young and served Him in my teens and remember many nights with my friends , seeking His face, receiving the Baptism of the Holy Ghost.and getting baptisted in water.

Unfortunately in my 20s I gradually got sucked into the world and lived like that for many years. I came back to the Lord in the fall of 78 so you see I have many yrs of knowing the Lord's faithfulness on my life and He is the cornerstone in my life. He is there for me every day and I can only thank and praise His name for now I am a retired senior and He has given me awesome health and strength and I just want to serve Him in every way I can.

Thanks for asking.

I could have made it longer as so many things have happened that He has protected me from but wanted to condence it so as not to bore you. God bless you Nathi and keep on the straight and narrow road with Jesus at your side.

That is so sweet.... thankyou Nathi. Do you know that even last year I went on a mission trip with young people and one girl had a vision and told me I was going to be a mentor to young people and be a blessing to them. I didn't really think much about it until I came to this forum and have had a lot of young people pm me and ask a lot of questions so possisibly this is my calling to be here. God is good all the time and we have to be open and receptive to His calling .
