BOLD WITNESS NOT IN VAIN


Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give
yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor
in the Lord is not in vain.

Lung Singh was a spirit worshipper and opium addict for forty-five years in
the little Southeast Asian country of Laos. When he turned to Christ, he
became a powerhouse for the Lord. Dr. Jan Pit shares about the day he
baptized Lung Singh:

"I'll never forget how, after coming up out of the waters, he began singing,
'I have decided to follow Jesus,' Then he pointed to the ripples spreading
out in the water and said, 'Brother Jan, there goes my old life. All the old
things have passed away. It's gone. Everything now is new.'

"Still soaking wet, he clambered onto the bank on the side of the famous
Mekong River and knelt down. 'Devil,' he shouted. 'I've been your servant
for 45 years. Now I belong to Christ. Now I only serve him.'

"I've never met a man so on fire for the Lord. After I left the country in
1973, Lung Singh continued his courageous ministry. He was constantly warned
by the Pathet Lao Communists to stop his preaching, but he refused.

"'I cannot do that. Jesus saved me. He did everything for me. I can't be
quiet!'"

Years later he was executed but not before impacting for good the kingdom of
heaven.

Sister Wu is a leader in a house church in China. One day her home was
suddenly raided by the police. She had Christian literature from abroad and
it was confiscated. Sister Wu was arrested and taken to the police station.
The police were cruel and abusive towards her. She was questioned overnight
not only by the police but also by the head of the Religious Affairs Bureau
(RAB) of the city. She bravely responded to their questions.

Just a few days after her release, the chief of the RAB's brother was
severely injured in an automobile accident and taken to the hospital. By the
time Sister Wu knew about it, she went to visit this RAB chief's brother and
mother. She led them to the Lord while they were in the hospital.

Later, on another occasion, Sister Wu was holding a Christian training class
in a small room of a restaurant. One of the employees decided to report the
meeting to the PSB hoping to make some money because it was an illegal
meeting. The matter was reported all the way to the top of the RAB, but the
chief of the RAB, upon discovering that it was Sister Wu conducting the
meeting, said "Oh, don't bother her. She's OK." Sister Wu's boldness was
rewarded.

RESPONSE: Today I will live in the strength of Christ and fearlessly refuse
to give in to my enemy, Satan's attempts to shut down my verbal and outgoing
witness.

PRAYER: Pray for boldness for all believers to share the gospel openly.
