“There are no Christians nowadays. None! We just have crooks, thieves, prostitutes,
womanizers…no Christians,” John was saying to
his 3 friends while enjoying a beer.
“You are very right. Christianity went with the
apostles of old,” Andrew chipped in. John,
Andrew, Daniel discussed the subject at length
but it was only Richard who had not commented
on the issue the three colleagues were discussing and this prompted John to ask him why he was silent.
“I agree guys that today’s Christians are rotten,”
he said and sipped his beer, “But I know of one
Christian and she is my wife. Oh this woman is the real Christian.”
His 3 friends went into gaffes of laughter
“You r a joke man. Which Christian woman would allow his husband to go boozing?” Andrew asked amid laughs.
“I know it doesn’t make sense,” Richard said,
“But my wife is a Christian. She lets me live my
life. She doesn’t talk to me about anything
biblical. She doesn’t curse me. She respects me
as her husband and always asks for permission
when going to church, to use the car and lot
things.
She keeps washing my clothes. She has
never thrown away any beer in the fridge because
she is a Christian. She has never refused me sex
because I am drunk. That woman is a Christian.”
His friends stopped laughing.

“You really mean this?” Daniel asked, “I think she
claims she is Christian because you haven’t really
tested her faith. She is pretending.”
“No. No. No. She doesn’t pretend. She just lives
the life of a Christian,” Richard defended.
“What if we really test her faith? To see if she is
the real deal?” Andrew dead-panned.
“I would not to treat my wife that way. She is a
good woman. She respects me and I wouldn’t go
that extra mile,” Rich said adding: “Right now I
am ashamed to even bring beer into the fridge
again.”
“I knew u were lying to us,” John said laughing
mockingly.
“Okay guys we can test her,” Richard agreed in
resignation. “But I can assure you we will not
break her.”
The tests began. From entering the house with
his friends with soiled shoes, to eating all relish
meant for the whole day, to drinking beer at the
living room and living it very messy, Richard wife
never complained. She never showed a sad face.
She was always glad. In her heart she always
sang the song “MUST JESUS BEAR THE CROSS
ALONE AND ALL THE WORLD GO FREE”
This Saturday Richard came with his friends at
11:30 PM. Though his wife was asleep, he woke
her up and demanded that she cook nsima for his
3 friends too. His wife never complained. She did
that and when she was done she told her
husband and his friends to go and eat.
But Richard took the plates and threw them down
shouting the food was undercooked and she had
to cook again. His wife came to him graciously
and kneeled down and said:
“I am sorry honey. I
never meant to embarrass you in the presence of
your friends. I am sorry the food was under-
cooked. I will prepare you another meal.”
It was Andrew who started crying. Then Daniel
and John joined him. They threw themselves to
the floor crying, their hands raised in the air in
surrender. Richard her husband also came apart
uncontrollably.
“I want to serve the God you serve. Take me to
Him,” John said tears flowing freely down his
cheeks. Andrew said the same thing and did the
rest. They accepted CHRIST that day.
They
became born again.
This story teaches us that sometimes God places
us in situations deliberately so that we can win
souls to HIM. Are you experiencing a bad
