COME JUST AS YOU ARE
Today it is one of those when one is really humbled by what
God is able to do. Things that we take for granted and yet have stopped many
from embracing the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. I am particularly grateful
today when thinking of the change- small as it may seem- in one of our
brethren’s life. The first time I invited him to join us for a church service,
he had a beer in his hand and it was still full. He told me straight “Mamoruti
I can’t leave this bottle like this because by the time church ends it would no
longer be drinkable”.
The week that followed (he is only able to attend
fortnightly due to work commitments), I found him seated in a shack not far
from the church, again with his beer but almost halfway. When he saw me he
said, “don’t worry Mamoruti by the time church starts, it will be finished. I
am coming today”.
A few more occasions his target was just to ensure that his
bottle is finished before church starts. However, as God is the One who changes
people, the last two occasions that he has been to church, he came very sober.
Instead of finishing the bottle, he came early to ensure chairs are packed and
cleaned. He gave a testimony which really moved me. He said “I love this Jesus,
I know I have accepted Him, and I am fully aware that I am not yet where I am
supposed to be in my walk with Him, but all I know is that everyday my life is
changing and one day I will be fully transformed”
What a wonderful God we serve! When He said come just as you
are, He knew His Gospel is able to change lives. We celebrate God and are
grateful that we can witness these miracles in our time.
