A WORD TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE: A man named Allen Danforth had a dramatic conversion experience. Shortly afterward he was invited by a missionary evangelist to go to Ghana, West Africa. While there, he saw starvation and deprivation beyond comprehension. He was bombarded by one horror story after another. After a month in Africa, Allen boarded a plane for the United States. On the long flight home he asked, Lord, why did you ever send me here? What can anybody do? Its absolutely hopeless. Then Allen heard the voice of God. God told him that he would be held accountable for what he had seen. I got a knot in my stomach, Allen recalls. I didnt have a vision, but in my minds eye I could see myself standing all alone before Christ, accounting for my life... That experience became a priority in his life. When I got off the plane, Allen says, I didnt know anything about being a missionary, but I knew that I could share a vision. I could tell people what Id seen. God has revealed Himself to all of us , in one or another, and we are responsible to share those revelations with others who may not know Him. He shows us each day where and how we can be a blessing, and we are accountable to listening to His still small voice and obeying. Allen was alert to Gods action in his life. Are we? And now we look back on all this and thank God, an artesian well of thanks! When you got the Message of God we preached, you didn’t pass it off as just one more human opinion, but you took it to heart as God’s true word to you, which it is, God himself at work in you believers! (1 Thessalonians 2.13 )
