PHANEROO~DEVOTION 7th October 2015 OUR ULTIMATE MINISTRY Apostle Grace Lubega

[1 Corinthians 13:8]; Charity never faileth

A story is told of a Muslim extremist called Ahmed Deedat. He was one of the most ruthless debaters I had ever seen on the face of the earth defending Islam against Christianity. He used to beat Christians hands down and men accept Mohammed and Allah.

One day, he went to a university in India. While there, he said, ‘I don't believe that anyone can live out the life of Jesus and his teachings according to the bible.' A university professor put up his hand and said, ‘yes I can.'

Ahmed Deedat asked him, ‘Can you live out the sermon on the mount?' Then he slapped the professor openly. When he slapped him, he told him, ‘now turn the other cheek' because he expected the man to fight back. He was seeking to offend him. The man turned the other cheek.

Deedat thought, why waste any more time?  He said, ‘the bible says if a man asks for your coat, you give him your tunic too, so give me your trouser.' At that, the professor turned to his students and he said ‘I am sorry’ then removed his trouser and handed it to Ahmed Deedat.

Ahmed made fun of this man and laughed at him but in his heart, he was surprised that a man actually did what Jesus taught.  The next day, the story goes, Muslim students came to the office of this professor to repent and submit their lives to Christ because they met a love that goes beyond the spirit that seeks to revenge against men who have hurt you.

They met a love that went beyond the life of men seeking to be better and establish their egos above the love and testimony of Jesus Christ. What Ahmed didn't know is that men are not won over by threats, punishment and the police. Men are won over by love and that love never fails.

That's what every Muslim, Buddhist, orthodox, Mormon and Free Manson is looking for. It is the uniqueness of Christianity. That is the love God has shown toward us that while we were yet sinners, Christ died.

Excerpt from the Sermon: THE OLIVET DISCOURSE by Apostle Grace Lubega

Men are won over by love and that love never fails.

Scripture Reference:  Romans 5:8, Matthew 5
