An amazing and significant fact of history is that within five centuries of its birth, Christianity dominated the Roman Empire.
Christianity began in the 1st century as a Judaic sect in the Roman province of Judaea.
Despite the massive waves of persecutions as Roman authorities tried to squash and completely destroy it, the Gospel spread rapidly and the Church. waxed stronger and stronger.
Miraculously, Christianity, a small, despised movement from a corner of Palestine grew quickly to not only dominate the mighty Roman Empire but the rest of the world. The Jesus-movement, in a relatively short periodv transformed into a major religion with millions of followers spread out from India in the east, Ethiopia in the south to Britain in the west.
One of the powerful reasons for the Church’s rapid growth was its practical service to God. Those opposed to Christianity were often won over as they saw the extraordinary ways the early Christians showed the love of Christ to their neighbors. Christians became known as those who cared for the sick. Many people experienced healing that resulted from their prayers. Early Christians were feeding the hungry and destitute. And through the loving service rendered by these believers, many people came to the faith leading to the rapid advancement of Christianity.

Truly, our actions speak much louder than our words. The Bible said Jesus went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God [Luke 8:1]. He was not only preaching it, He was also showing it.
As we preach with words, we are also to follow up with our actions. More than what you say, people are watching how you live. When people see us living in faith, holiness, purity, excellence and integrity, it can have a great impact on how they receive the Gospel we preach.
Unbelievers may not read the Bible but they’re reading our lives. They may never come to Church but they are listening to the sermon our life is preaching daily. Your life is your pulpit. And the truth is that people believe a sermon that they see more than a sermon that they hear. Your examples of practical service, more than your words, will draw men to Christ. When Jesus was on the earth, many times, He was among sinners, not to condemn them but to let His light shine in the darkness. Today, we are the light of the world and our light will work best in the dark places where people need deliverance and salvation. We need to take off judgmental glasses and let the light of God’s love shine on the unbelievers in our environment.
As the gross darkness increases in the world it presents increasing opportunities for us to practically serve God by helping people. The early Christians shone the light of God’s love into the dark world though their service to mankind and many were drawn into the Church leading to its astronomical growth Likewise today, let us practically shine our light to bring glory to God and draw multitudes to our Christ.

PRAYER: Lord, please help me to live in a way that will reflect the truth of the Gospel I preach. May my light so shine before men that they may see my good works and glorify Your holy Name in Jesus Name.
