Acts 9:13-14 But Anani'as answered, "Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he has done to thy saints at Jerusalem; and here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call upon thy name."
When one thinks of the Apostle Paul we think of the two natures that was seen in him, that of his pre-Christian and that of his post Christian life. In his writings of the various letters to the church, this becomes very apparent. Yet one can think of what he was like before he came to Christ on that Damascus Road, he caused fear And anguish amongst the followers of the Way of Jesus Christ. He caused many Christians in his day to pray for him and for their own safety and fears that he caused amongst them.
In fact if one thinks of a modern day kind of Saul of Tarsus one may be inclined to think that in South Africa that this may be a Julius Malema, because he has the same passion and creates the same tension as Saul would have done in his day. Could one imagine if Julius had the same experience as Saul and he started to preach Jesus Christ to all of South Africa with the same passion? What a missionary he would be for Jesus Christ.
Be encouraged today to pray for people like Julius Malema that he may have a Damascus Road experience.
David
Point to ponder: Jesus Christ is able to change anybody.
Question to consider: Do you pray for people like Julius to become true Christians?
