TRUE LIFE STORY
This
is a true story of my friend a 10 year old girl called Abla, who used
to live in an area with idol worship being one of the major activities
practiced by the inhabitants.
I remember the day a group of evangelists visited some schools in my area and it happened that my school had been chosen to be the center for Bible studies. So my friend Abla had to visit my school every evening for Bible studies.
Our lives begun to totally change when we learnt about the 10 commandments and other Bible scriptures. We learnt so much during this time and were glad to be a part of it. After this wonderful encounter with God our spirits felt troubled anytime we were among idol worshipers. This was not very easy since we lived in a community of idol worshipers and our entire family practiced this kind of worship too.
One day my friend Abla was seriously sick and was taken to the hospital. Unfortunately, the doctors said there was no cure. I never understood why the hospital was her family's first option rather than the place of idol worship perhaps it was God at work. When Abla realized the next option was to take her to the idol, she told her parents not to send her there since she had accepted Jesus as her Lord and Saviour. Abla believed in the saving power of God and had faith because she heard the word of God.
The Bible says “…So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God...” (Romans 10:17. Even though her family kept insisting she stood her grounds until Abla's father instructed that no one force her. Unfortunately, Abla died and her parents informed the church about her passing.

Abla held on to Jesus to the very last moment. During the funeral, the head of the family along with the entire family (the fetish perish of the family) said because of the faith of Abla, they had given up on their idol worship.Even though a funeral is sad because someone has passed away, the death of this girl brought salvation to her entire family. Like the Holy Bible says; “…For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous…” (Romans 5:19)May The God Lord give you grace to resist the devil.
“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” (James 4:7) She submitted herself to God, held on to Him till the end and her entire family was saved. May you be the one that will bring salvation to your entire family in Jesus Name.Do you want to receive The Lord like Abla and her family did? My friend, kindly say this prayer now and do it with all
your heart.
Dear Lord Jesus, I am a sinner and I repent of all my sins. Please wash my sins with Your Precious
Blood Lord Jesus. Today, I turn away from all sins and receive You into my heart as My Lord and Saviour. Please write my name in the Lamb's Book of life and send the Holy Spirit to help me live in holiness. Establish Your Word in my heart and protect my heart. I am born again. Amen. God greatly bless you.
