The Work of Salvation Is Carried Out by God

There was a shop owner whom I had delivered the word of God to, from the previous year. It had been a long time since my last visit. I went to the shop again to meet the owner, but only to find that it was replaced by a new mobile phone store. Now that I was there for preaching, I entered the store to deliver the word of God.

The store owner looked at me as if he was wondering what brought me there. I told him that I came from a nearby church and I gave him a newspaper and a souvenir which was made to celebrate receiving the U.K. Queen’s Award. He didn’t seem to like the preaching materials that I felt like I had made a mistake.

A few days later, I stopped by a flower shop located on the opposite side of the mobile phone store. It drew my attention as it was lit up. In the store, there was another person as well as the owner.

I wondered to myself, ‘Has he read the newspaper?’

Curious, I entered the store. And guess what? I found the souvenir at the center of the counter, to my pleasant surprise. He told me he had read the newspaper, and welcomed me. Once again, I introduced our church and explained the truth through the Bible; he was all ears.

Then he told me about himself carefully: he’d stopped attending his church because it was corrupted; even so, he was still looking for God. I was surprised. I’d assumed he wasn’t interested in any religion at all, but in fact, he was longing for God. Eventually, the store owner and his employee were born again as children of God.

God continually poured down blessings upon us. These two, who had received the blessing of a new life, delivered the word of God to their new employee. He was previously a Roman Catholic, but he stopped attending the church. He was confused about God’s word which was different from the doctrines he’d learned. In the end, he acknowledged that world history unfolds in accordance with the prophecies of the Bible and received the blessing of becoming a child of Father and Mother.

When the three brothers attended their first worship service, they sat together in a godly manner, and were eager to share the grace of Zion about the sermon on obedience. I realized that indeed God is the One who leads the work of salvation. Who could have ever imagined that there would be three precious souls looking for God together in the same workplace? Bearing in mind that the gospel work is carried out not by me but by God, I will participate in the mission to preach to seven billion people. I truly give thanks to God Elohim for giving me this great realization through fruits.
