Today, I was at a meeting at Zion Bible College, and the guest speaker was Alton Garrison, our National Assistant Supt. for the Assemblies of God. He was calling the people to a greater commitment to Jesus Christ.
How many of us feel that we are really commited to Jesus Christ? He told us a couple of testimonies that made us think about are we really sold out to Christ? He told about a pastor in Pakistan, who was a young man with a wife and a baby daughter, and how we was preaching about Jesus. One morning on the way to the church, he was surrounded at a traffic light, and he was shot to death. Today, the church is growing because this pastor was sold out to Jesus Christ.
In Africa, another pastor was preaching and leading people to Christ, and starting churches in his area. There were government people who were against what was going on and first threw him in jail. He got out of jail, and he continued to lift up Jesus Christ. They came and warned him again, and he kept preaching about Jesus. A short time ago, they came to him and cut of his limbs and then burned him to death! That is what is means to be sold out to Jesus Christ. They killed one man but today there are 100 that have taken his place.
Today, I am asking myself, am I really sold out for Jesus Christ! That is a good question that I think we all need to ask ourselves from time to time!
