Someone preached the gospel to another person of another religion
She didn't carry a megaphone at 5AM in the morning to disturb the neighbourhood
The person she preached to was in the same car with her
The person was not a child
The person could have told the person preaching to

him to "shut up" at anytime
The preacher and the one being preached to are both mature adults
The person that was preached to didn't report being harassed or embarrassed
It was the one who preached that excitedly talked about the experience
But this is Twitter
All the dumb poles

have an opinion
The opinion is not going to be based on any form of objectivity
What we want are retweet and likes
So we check the pulse of the community
We look at the popular handles
We have to go with popular opinion so that our opinion and that of "celebrities" are in sync

We decide to jump into the conversation and vilify the one who dared to share her faith
We decided faith is a personal virus that shouldn't be spread to others
You must keep your faith and let me keep mine
We are wrong
We are wrong because that opinion is contrary to the word of

God
No matter how popular you are or how many followers you have on Twitter, you are dust!
Your time in this world is borrowed
Your opinion is zilch
You have nothing to offer me on the other side of time
Your knowledge and protestations are irrelevant
Only one thing is really

important to me
That I do the will of God
My mother was not born a Christian
I thank God every day for the person who preached the gospel to my mother
If the person and others like him or her had kept quiet
Only God knows how my life would have turned out
The gospel is the light

As long as a believer didn't constitute a nuisance by disturbing the community with noise-making gadgets or by sharing his or faith with people who are not receptive to it, sharing one's faith is doing the will of God
If you will not share the gospel and you are intimidating

others who share the gospel based on your philosophies and convenience - I am very sorry for you
The gospel makes the feet of those who preach it to shine and burn bright
If you are ashamed of the gospel of Christ, you are ashamed of the power of God unto salvation
You are to be

pitied
Remember what was said about that stone?
Those who stumble on it are broken to pieces and those upon which it falls are grounded to powder
A fool that keeps his or opinion to himself is often considered wise
Jesus said to preach the gospel and make disciples of all nations

and you are saying sharing the good news is wrong?
Wow.
Who did you die for?
Who are you?
Oh my!
A speck of mere dust that will not be remembered or known in 100 years
I laugh and laugh as i write this
Reminds me of the Character called Olaf in the animation called Frozen
Olaf

only existed because there was snow
Its existence and opinions and entire life was based on the existence of a particular weather
During the Summer, Olaf withers
The same applies to every one of us and our high opinions
The one whose gospel has suddenly started to irritate us is

the reason we are alive
I have been walking in the gospel and sharing the gospel for many years
When the chips are down, those who had the loudest voice on Twitter will tremble and quake and buckle and knock their knees under the briefest of challenges and run to God for help!

All the education in the world will come to naught when life shows up
Most of us have lost insight and perspective
We speak without recourse to depth
We have faked it for so long that we have come to believe our own deception that we have life handled
I will advise us all to pick

up our phones and declare our faith boldly on our bios
Let the world know you are a believer and if they come seeking the reason for the Hope you have, be very open to share your faith with whosoever
If you are ashamed of eternal life while living out your temporary life, you

can not be counted among the wise
Those who preach the gospel are counted as wise and will shine like the sun right from this earth
Always remember this
When you preach the gospel, the power of the Holy Spirit is given full expression in you and in the life of the one to whom the

gospel was preached
I met so many people on Twitter whose lives were transformed by the gospel of Jesus Christ
The testimonies of transformed destinies around me are innumerable
When the gospel you preach is real and potent, people will come begging for it but when it is mere

words, lawyers and motivational speakers will call your bluff.
The gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ is my life and reality, it is the salt that comes forth from me and the light that shines forth through me!
I cannot but preach the gospel
It is the air I breathe and through it I

have seen many who were lost in darkness translated into the light
Against this gospel, there is no opposition or ridiculous opinions
When your gospel raises the dead, even unbelievers sneak into your DM seeking help
Against the power of the gospel everything pales
I encourage

believers to preach the gospel always
Let your life be the gospel
Let your words be seasoned with salt
Shine the light
Heal the sick
Raise the dead
Do the greater works
Remember you are occupying until Jesus comes
Ignore the chatter of ignorance and persecution
Please the LORD!
