As a member of RCCG (Redeemed Christian Church of God) on Banana Island, Lekki, I shared Jesus' love with African construction workers (18-40) from DR Congo, Liberia, Benin Rep, Togo, Ghana, and Niger, living adjacent to the British quarters on the island. Their supervisor, an elderly RCCG pastor from Ebute Meta, ironically forbade them from attending church with me.
Despite this, I consistently invited them to RCCG, preached, and prayed with them often. However, it seemed like my efforts yielded no fruit.
After relocating to the mainland to care for my grandma, I attended LFC (Living Faith Church) Ota. On my third or fourth Sunday, I witnessed a miraculous breakthrough. The toughest skeptic among the construction workers stood up, accepting Jesus publicly! Unbeknownst to him, I was in the congregation, and my heart swelled with joy and tears.
My labour wasn't wasted. I think God wanted me to know that my dedication and love had made a lasting impact. Sometimes, we may not see immediate results, but God's seeds of love always bear fruit.
Don't give up on people.
Pray persistently, even after rejection.
Don't give up yet.
