NAIROBI, Kenya, January 11, 2023 (Morning Star News) – A 37-year-old father of four was killed on Jan. 2 after participating in a Christian-Muslim debate in eastern Uganda at which 13 Muslims put their faith in Christ, sources said.
This brother had been converted from the Muslim faith, and dedicated his life to bringing the truth of Christ to other Muslims. Over 100 of them have converted to Christianity because of this brother's ministry, so this was the result.
Consider the Word of God:
10“See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that their angels in heaven continually see the face of My Father who is in heaven. 11[“For the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost.]
12“What do you think? If any man has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go and search for the one that is straying? 13“If it turns out that he finds it, truly I say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine which have not gone astray. 14“So it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones perish. - Matthew 18: 10-14
This doesn't just apply to his referring to children as the ones brought to Christ for Him to bless but that the character of those in Heaven would be "such as these" (Matthew 19:14) (accepting, innocent, loving, joyful, peaceful, playful, etc.). This is then compared to any one of these lost as sheep who Heaven rejoices over the others who are not lost. (another parallel: Luke 15:32 the prodigal son)
This brother, Ahamada Mafabi loved SO MUCH, he risked His life for the gospel of Christ. He had a wife and four children. He set out to find God's sheep, and found over 100 of them in a years time.
Why? Because there's nothing else but Christ that can bring true joy and peace. When we feed off of the "Bread of life" and we drink from the "fountain of living water", there's no going back!
The Apostle Peter said, "Where else can we go, you Lord have the words of eternal life!"
How often don't we dispute and debate in religious circles in our country, here at home, without risk to our lives ...
But in so many nations around the world, The Lord is bringing in souls CONSTANTLY to Him, in truth - and it's through people like Ahamada Matabi who The Holy Spirit indwells, and in love of the truth, obediently heralds The Gospel of the Kingdom.
"Repent, The Kingdom of Heaven
Is at hand"
- Mark 1:15
Let's not be ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For it is the power of God unto salvation for every one who believes (Romans 1:16)
