Fear God, Not Man
Philippians 1:29 ~ For to you it has been granted for Christ’s sake, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake.”
I thought you might like to hear what happened to Asif after the motorcycle accident and the miracle of God healing his broken leg.
Hungry to know more about this prophet who had healed his leg, Asif began to read the Bible, especially the New Testament and the miracles of Jesus. Asif’s question weighed heavier: If Jesus was truly one of many prophets, how could he perform such amazing works? As Asif lay on his bed, he wondered, Who is Jesus? I know many prophets have come to earth, but none has had the power of Jesus.
Asif was so perplexed by how a minor prophet such as Jesus could heal him two thousand years after His death that he took his questions to the mulvi (religious leader) at his mosque.
“Why are you talking about Jesus?” the mulvi sneered. “Do you have an interest in him?”
“How could I not have an interest?” Asif responded incredulously. “He healed me.”
The mulvi and others at the mosque took Asif and locked him in a room. They forced poison down his throat thinking that if he died before fully understanding and coming to know Jesus, he would still make it to Paradise. They left him there overnight for the poison to do its work. Asif felt sick and thought he was dying. He vomited repeatedly and threw up blood.
However, around midnight Asif found himself still barely alive and lying in the dust, caked with his own blood and vomit. The room was dark and he didn’t have the strength to get up. He didn’t know what else to do, so he prayed. He called out to Jesus and told Him he wanted to see Him before he died.
Before he knew what had happened, a bright light had filled the dusty room. Asif suddenly felt a little better and forced himself up to see what was causing the light. Before him stood Jesus. It was at that moment that Asif surrendered the rest of his life to the Lord, saying, “God, this life is for you; as long as I am on earth, I will work for you.”
Sometime before dawn, Asif managed to escape and made his way home.
Asif’s ran into a lot more trouble when he tried to tell his family about his two experiences with Jesus. He knew Jesus was for real because he had seen him and seen him heal his leg. It wasn’t an easy road for him, but he had to tell his story – Jesus was real! Asif continues to evangelize whenever and wherever he has the opportunity.
Prayer: Dear God – Thank you for the country we live in where religion is welcome and people are permitted to pursue any religion they like. Help us to be bold with stories of Jesus’ miracles and to share how he proves to us he is real. If we share our stories, how can the world not take interest?
In Jesus’ Name, Amen
