Gospel Friend: A Business Client

A business employee, whose client I have been for years, called me yesterday requesting for an appointment today. I actually thought he really wanted business from me in printing Bibles, Calendar, and books. He did show up in time as he promised. We did discuss business matters yet I made it clear that it all depends on their pricing and service. I did not want to give any false hope and promise.

As we were discussing business I gradually turned the topic to the importance of life. I went on explaining the meaning of human life. As I spoke I sensed the Holy Spirit moving and anointing me to preach the gospel with all boldness. Despite being a Brahmin Hindu, he listened to the gospel with rapt attention with much seeking heart. Whenever certain sentences I spoke touched him, he would fold his hand and do a "namaste" to me. The Spirit's anointing was so rich that I expounded who the living God is, who has incarnated to be the God-man Jesus Christ, and who passed through death and resurrection to become the life-giving Spirit, who can be believed into and received into man's human spirit. As I preached and preached, he received all that I spoke and believed in it. The word he heard produced faith in him to believe. Then, I felt the need to lead him to prayer, which I did so and he willing prayed the sinner's prayer to believe and receive the Lord Jesus Christ as his God and Savior.

In between the gospel preaching he received the word with "namastes" now and then. After I released my burden in gospel preaching and prayer, he testified that he was so full of peace as he sat and listened to the gospel. He even proclaimed, "Sir, whenever I come and meet you, I was always full of peace. Can I come to meet you now and then?" I replied, "Sure, you are welcome whenever you wish to come." He then replied back, "Sir, I will come to meet you at least once in a month." 

I did not expect that this business meeting would turn out to be a gospel meeting. Thank the Lord, He has prepared His seekers for His testimony even among the religious North Indian Brahmins!

May the Lord save him as he willingly prayed in the Lord Jesus' Name.
