Andrew van der Bijl was born to Christian parents in Holland who endeavored to give him a godly upbringing.
But Andrew had no desire for the things of God as he grew older. Rather he loved adventure and as a young man he joined the resistance army in Holland in the 1940s. While serving as a soldier, he was involved in a massacre of Indonesian villagers. Afterwards, he felt so sorry for the bloodshed that he knew no peace and suffered severe emotional stress. During a battle, he was shot in the knee and this brought his military career to an abrupt end when he was only 20 years old.
He got home to find out his mother had died during the war. But she had left for him her Bible. As he began studying this Bible he found peace and would later surrender his life to Christ. Knowing the peace he found through reading the Bible he became committed to distribute the Bible to as many people as possible. After attending Bible school, he took up the dangerous missionary endeavor of smuggling Bibles into communist countries. This earned him the nickname “God’s Smuggler”.
God protected him throughout the period of these dangerous missions. Brother Andrew’s passion for soul winning led him to found a ministry called ‘Open Doors’. Today, it is an international missions organization that is located in many countries and assists persecuted Christians. Annually, 2 million Bibles are distributed by ‘Open Doors’ and countless souls have come to Christ because of this great ministry.
In Mark 16, Jesus commanded us to go into the world and preach the Gospel to every creature.
As we focus on obeying the great commission and pursue the promotion of God’s kingdom, we will enjoy divine promotions in our own lives. To break forth to greater heights we must become committed to the spread of the Gospel. Certainly, when we do that which pleases God, it compels Him to pour out His blessings upon us.
When Jacob brought to Isaac, his father, the venison that pleased him, Isaac blessed him from the depths of his heart saying;
‘Therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine: Let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee:..’ [Genesis 27:28].
Likewise, doing that which pleases God attracts His heartfelt blessings into our lives. When we are dedicated to the cause of God’s kingdom, our lives will overflow with testimonies of divine health, protection, deliverance, miracles, signs and wonders.
Especially in these perilous last days, the salvation of men should become a burning issue in our hearts. As we work to advance God’s kingdom, He will likewise work to advance our lives. We can’t be truly sold out to God and not stand out on earth.
As we keep winning souls, God promises to establish us as stars that will shine forever. (Daniel 12:3)
PRAYER; Lord, Please enable me to obey the great commission and preach the Gospel with boldness. Please grant me renewed appetite for Your Word, so that I will always burn with the fervency and zeal to spread the Gospel wherever I go in Jesus Name.
