DONT CONCLUDE FOR OTHERS
I was touched reading this and thought to share.
A lovely little girl was holding two apples with both hands.
Her mum came in and softly asked her little daughter with a smile: my sweetie, could you give your mum one of your two apples?
The girl looked up at her mum for some seconds, then she suddenly took a quick bite on one apple, and then quickly on the other.
The mum felt the smile on her face freeze. She tried hard not to reveal her disappointment.
Then the little girl handed one of her bitten apples to her mum,and said: mummy, here you are. This is the sweeter one.
No matter who you are, how experienced you are, and how knowledgeable you think you are, always delay judgement.
Give others the privilege to explain themselves.
What you see may not be the reality.
Never Conclude For Others.

STAND TILL THE END
A group of missionaries went on an evangelism campaign in a foreign land in an Arab nation where the name of Jesus is abhored and is an abomination to be mentioned. Anyone who mentions and preaches Jesus is killed. A group of armed anti-christ millitants, raided them and asked them to denouce Jesus or be killed. They took turns in asking them this question. "Will you preach or call the name of Jesus again? A 'yes' answer calls for instant killing but a 'no' answer frees you".
The first missionary who stood for Jesus was killed upon declaring his 'yes' stand. The 2nd was also killed ; the 3rd, the 4th, the 5th except the last missionary were killed upon answering 'yes'.
God, being the God of power opened the eyes of the leader of the Arab millitants. To his dismay and regret, he saw that any time a missionary was shot dead, a group of angels would come, singing and dancing around the dead body, and finally, up they would go with the soul of the dead.
The last missionary who thought of the wife and family at home, the life and property to enjoy decided to denounce Jesus, live and ask for forgiveness. He answered 'no' and he was set free. But to the suprise of the group, the leader came begging that he would preach Jesus; he wanted to replace the last missionary so that they would kill him. And because he proclaimed Jesus, he was also killed. But no one could tell whether he was taken up by angels since he alone saw what was happening.
The last missionary who was set free upon denouncing Jesus, on his way home wanted to cross a road and he was smashed by a heavy truck. His body was grounded into pieces. This happened only few minutes after denouncing Jesus. He did not have the time to ask for forgiveness. This brother died a pityful death. He served Jesus with all his heart but just when he was about to receive the crown of life, he took a u-turn that landed him in a rather shameful death without christ.
Jesus is watching, will you stand for him and glorify His death on the cross? He will stand for you if you do. Be not like this brother; his story is soo painful and pityful. "Had I known", is always the language of fools. Be wise; declare christ and win souls for christ.
I didnt keep this to myself because I was touched and decided to let somebody know the risk of turning back from christ or denouncing Him. You can also be kind to your neighbour or friend. Who knows? Somebody is about to denounce Jesus. Your little kindness will save him. It will cost you nothing sending it to your loved ones. Send this to all your contacts and see if God will not answer your prayer requests.
No turning back. The time is now. Keep in mind. Christ is coming back.
Be blessed for sharing. Amen!!
