WHAT ARE YOU SPREADING?

BY REV GOH YONG KUANG

During the pandemic, the last thing we want, is to have a Covid19-infected person sitting or standing next to us! 

Transmission of the virus occurs primarily between people through direct or indirect contact with an infected person. The closer we are to someone who is infected, and the longer we are together, the higher our risk of getting infected!

While no one would come near a person who has the Covid19 virus - a person who has the indwelling presence of God will have people flocking to him/her!

How infectiously beautiful, appealing and attractive are you to others?  Will people be drawn to you because of your faith in Christ?

The apostle commended the Christians in Thessalonica, who did not keep their faith to themselves, but spread it wherever they went. 

You became an example for all the Lord's followers in Macedonia and Achaia.

And because of you, the Lord's message has spread everywhere in those regions.

Now the news of your faith in God is known all over the world,

and we don't have to say a thing about it.

1 Thessalonians 1:7-8 (CEV)

Everything about them – their lives, faith, example and testimony were infectious!

Are you highly contagious?  Are you tested positive for a Spirit-filled and Spirit-led life?  Do people nearby catch a glimpse of Christ in you?

The winter season tends to record a higher infection rate. It’s the time when the virus becomes more widespread.  But it’s not just the virus that people are spreading.  Some have spread myths and fake news, fears and confusions!

This is the season to spread God’s Truth and share His love!  Let us be the spreader and carrier of the good news of God and for it to be made known to all and sundry!
