Share Life Africa

Meeting together with your local church—which is an extension of the church worldwide—is so very important. Each local church is unique in that it’s both the process and product of the experience of Christian fellowship.

That is, the local church is both the place where fellowship is developed and expressed and an example of our Christian fellowship to the world. And there are many ways our fellowship in Christ can be nurtured through the local church.

In Acts chapter two, we see an example of believers meeting together to break "bread in their homes," and they "ate together with glad and sincere hearts." What a picture to their community of how Jesus brings us, His children, together in unity.

And through that example, they told others about Jesus; and Acts two records that there were people coming to Jesus every day.

The Bible teaches us that everything we possess has come to us because God gave it to us. First Corinthians four seven (4:7) says, “What do you have that you did not receive?  And if you did receive it, why do you boast as though you did not?”

Our responsibility with our possessions is to use them as God’s stewards — using them, that is, as He would Himself. In Acts chapter two, we see a picture of the early church selling their property and possessions to make sure that any need was met. They had open hands and hearts with all that they owned. This is an expression of Christian fellowship in the church: sharing what we possess.

And as we do, we receive opportunities to point others to the One who gave us everything in the first place—our Saviour, Jesus Christ. What are some ways you can give what God has given you?

In first Corinthians, Paul uses the imagery of a body to paint the picture of what the church should look like. If the entire body of Christ was made up of just ears, what could we do? Well, we would be really, really good at listening, but not much else. We couldn't reach out with a hand to help or go anywhere with our legs. And if we didn't have ankles and wrists and shoulders, it wouldn't much matter that we had feet and arms…! And anyone who has ever broken their big toe knows it's almost impossible to walk...just by missing one toe!

Now, it may seem like I'm being silly, but there are important truths to this. You see, we need each other. And we need the church to serve together. And every believer is important to the work Jesus has given us. With this in mind, let's spur each other on to work together so the world will know that we have a Saviour in Jesus!

Charles Spurgeon said, "Satan always hates Christian fellowship; it is his policy to keep Christians apart. Anything which can divide saints from one another he delights in.” You know, our fellowship together results from our belonging individually to God through faith in Jesus Christ alone. His Spirit has come to live in us, and He provides for us a strong unity with one another.

Ephesians four three (4:3) says, "Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace." Let's not buy into the lie that meeting together as believers is not important. Instead, let's prioritise coming together and edifying one another in the works that God has given us to do as the church. That’s accountability!

And fellowship will grow us individually and collectively. And as we spur each other on, we’ll be faithful to tell others about our wonderful Saviour.

Are you exhausted all the time? Where is this exhaustion coming from? Could it be from a lack of belief in God?

Sure, you believe in God, but the Bible says even the demons believe in Him - so what's the difference? Can you rest in your belief in God? Hebrews chapter 3 and 4 talk about entering God's rest. Chapter 3 says that we're not at rest because of our unbelief. Chapter four says 'whoever has entered God's rest has also rested from his works as God did from his.' If you truly believe in Jesus, you must stop trying to earn your way into heaven and accept that what Jesus did for you was enough to cover your sins for eternity.

Now that you can rest in His grace, you can share that grace with others! Who do you know who is exhausted from trying to do good and be better? For resources to help you share God's goodness and grace with them, visit sharelifeafrica.org

What in your life are you most proud of? Are you proud of your career? Education? Family name? Money? If your identity is found in anything other than what Jesus did for you on the cross, you've missed it! You'll never truly experience joy if you rely on yourself or others to bring contentment.

Sarah, who shared her testimony on whatsmystory.org, says she found her identity in her accomplishments and became very depressed when she failed to succeed. One day, she cried out and said, "Lord, dig me out of this hole I'm in!" She says she began a journey with the Lord, learning about His unconditional love and found that her need to be validated by anything outside of her relationship with Jesus kept getting smaller! Now she has peace and abundant life! Fix your gaze on Jesus Christ.

Share with others how you can be confident because of His love, and you'll be filled with joy and give others the opportunity to experience this joy as well

“He still loves me, regardless of what I did or how many times I turned my back on Him.”

Kenny was lying in the trauma room of a hospital as he said - and believed - those words, that Jesus loves him no matter what. Kenny had run for years from the Lord, despite God's relentless pursuit of him. Finally, in the chaos of a hospital room after a nearly deadly fall on ice, he says he found a quiet place in his mind, asked God for forgiveness...and received it! Philippians 4:7 says that "the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”

Kenny found that peace after years of running from God. He offers that very same peace to each and every one of us. We can know that as His children, He is all we need. Stop running and start sharing the Good News of eternal life and peace found in Jesus!

Why are you here? No, I don't mean why are you in your car right now. Why are you here on this earth?

You see, a lot of people are going through life without putting much thought into answering that question. Why are you here? Who are you meant to be? God has made each and every person with a purpose - to bring Him glory. How can we do that? Well, we have to believe we are who He says we are. We are loved by Him and we can rest in that fact.

More than resting in His love, we should share His Gospel with everyone you meet. And you know, you can! In fact, this is what you were created to do, you just have to know how to do it. Once you learn, you won't want to stop spreading the Gospel! We'd love to help you with that.

Are you sure you're going to Heaven after you take your last breath on earth?

Maybe you made a profession of faith when you were a child, like Jay. He said that at 6 years old he accepted Jesus but later in his 20s, he had some doubts. He says he's so thankful for the assurance of salvation he was given when another believer came alongside him and guided him through Scripture. He said he knew for certain that he was going to Heaven because of God's Word and a faithful servant. Jay says, 'Whether 6 or 80, the same gift of eternal life is made available for anyone who truly desires that relationship with God through Jesus.'

Take comfort, and find rest in the salvation of the Lord. All you have to do is call on His Name and repent of your sin - Jesus has paid the price!

Remember, it is the Gospel itself, not our clever answers or power of persuasion that is the “power of God unto salvation to everyone who believes.” 

When you encounter an objection to your Gospel presentation, the goal is to deal with the objection as simply and quickly as possible and then continue with the Gospel.  Two keys to remember are first, to research their question and return with an answer: Tell them, “That’s a great question.  Can I do some research and get back to you on that?”  Then continue with the Gospel before making an appointment for a future visit.  If you’re able to respond to the objection on the spot, do so quickly and get back to sharing the Gospel.  

With a bit of knowledge, many common objections can be answered quickly.  I hope this helps you as you share life today.
