Dental Fellowship

I have been in search of a trustworthy dentist who I could consult with peace and satisfaction. Though there are a good number of dentists in and around my home I could not trust anyone of them as I had already visited them. There was one lady dentist they I consulted for my wife but that too was not truly satisfactory. I never had the peace to do my dental works with her though I did it for my wife.

Two weeks ago, I came across a dental clinic with a Christian dentist name. It caught my attention and I decided to visit him. The next day my wife informed me of the pain on her teeth and immediately I took her to this Christian dentist.

As we visited him, he enquired if we had any appointment with him which I replied in the negative. Then, we waited for about 15 minutes as he was busy with some people. The moment our turn came to consult him I was not ashamed to ask him directly if he was a Christian to which he replied in the affirmative.  Then, he did the treatment for my wife.

On our second visit, I also did my dental work that has been pending for years. I was glad that he could do what I needed it to be done. What I had been waiting for years, he did it in half an hour's time. And I was quite satisfied with it. Even when I made the payment I did so with satisfaction unlike the other dentists. On top of it, I felt happy to pay to a believer than to a gentile.

In our second vist as he was doing the dental work, I fellowshipped with him as Christian brother and we became good friends. To me, the brotherly fellowship we had was more precious than anything else. As we fellowshipped, I realised that he was in need of proper Christian fellowship where He can be helped to read the word and enjoy the Lord in prayer. I did not shy away from telling him to spend time in prayer daily and study the word of God daily. After the "dental fellowship" at his clinic I invited him home for dinner as he told he was alone at the moment as his wife and child had gone to the South.

After his dental work for the day he came over for dinner fellowship where we spent a few hours together fellowshipping. I did my best to shepherd him by not withholding back what I felt I should tell him concerning a daily Christian living. Then, we prayed together and encouraged one another in the Lord.

Thank the Lord  for such a dental fellowship in his clinic and at my home.
