Dao Sanh was a poor rice farmer whom God transformed greatly and used mightily in the spread of the Gospel in Vietnam.
In August 1996, Dao Sanh’s wife was suddenly paralyzed down the right side of her body. Buddhist Monks could not heal her but when some Christians on an evangelistic mission prayed for her she miraculously recovered.
Overwhelmed by this miracle, Dao Sanh and his wife surrendered their lives to Christ.
When Dao Sanh began to preach the Gospel in his village, the Buddhists were so infuriated they called the police to arrest him. After locking him up for nine days in a cold prison cell, the police released him with a stern warning not to preach Christianity.
But Dao Sanh immediately went back to preaching. Over the next thirteen years Dao Sanh was regularly imprisoned for preaching. His persistence brought many people to The Lord. Eventually the government in Vietnam changed their policy and became tolerant of Christianity.
As a result Dao Sanh was released from prison and given permission to freely preach the Gospel.
After his release, God helped Dao Sanh to connect to the international ministry, Big Life, which empowers believers worldwide to reach and disciple their own People for Jesus Christ. Over the next year alone, God used Dao Sanh, to raise up sixty new Churches in the region.
Dao Sanh’s story is an encouragement for us to be steadfast and persistent in our work for the Lord because our labour shall never be in vain.(1Corinthians 15:58)
Throughout the Scriptures, we find that most of those who were greatly used by God, passed through fiery trials.
The truth is that for every David, there’s a goliath, for every Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, there is a fiery furnace and for every Daniel, there is a lion’s den.
But in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loves us. Though you may be challenged, through Christ you are destined to always overcome. Despite the trials your story will eventually end in glory and the tests will turn to testimonies..
Though you may sometimes pass through the water and the fire, eventually God will bring you out into your wealthy place.
As you persist in well doing in due season you will surely reap, if you don’t faint.[Galatians 6:9]
As you stay faithful, you will indeed be fruitful.
Though you may go through the fire, you will come forth as gold. [Job 23:10]
Today, as we press deeper in our relationship with God, we can be sure He will cause every trial and tribulation to work together for our good.
No matter the heat of the trial, God will cause us to emerge victorious and we will come out stronger and better.
Those light and momentary afflictions will only end up achieving for us a far more eternal weight of glory.
PRAYER: Lord, I thank You for Your plans to miraculously turn around every negative condition in my life and cause me to emerge victorious from every challenge. Surely my story this year will end in glory in Jesus Name.
