Accept Jesus 'mek any man a winner' by DJ Nickolas

1. A PAKISTANI MUSLIM COMES FACE TO FACE WITH JESUS CHRIST
Khalid Mansoor Soomro is from the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. He was an
ardent follower of Mohammed until the results of a challenge he laid out
before some Christian students. Please read this powerful testimony of how
this man was converted to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ as his Lord
and Savior! And He said unto them: "Go into the world, and preach the gospel
to every Creature." (Mark 16:15)
When I was 14 years old I was studying in a convent school at Saddar
Karachi Pakistan. I belong to a Muslim family.
My parents forced me to learn the Qur'an by heart when I was seven and so I
did. I had a lot of Christian fellows (or acquaintances) at school. I was
surprised to see them studying while I always found Christians of low profile in
the society. I discussed and argued a lot with them about the accuracy of
Qur'an and rejection of Bible by Allah in Holy Qur'an. I always forced them to
accept Islam. Often my Christian teacher told me not to do so. He said, "God
may choose you as he chose the Apostle Paulus." I asked them who is
Paulus, I know Muhammad only. One day during our discussion I challenged
them to burn the Holy Books of each other. They should burn the Qur'an and I
should do the same with the Bible. We agreed: "The book which would burn,
would be false. The book, which would not burn, has the Truth in it. God
Himself would save His Word." Unfortunately they were not ready to do this
because they were frightened. Living in an Islamic Country and doing such a
thing could lead them to face the law and meet its consequences. I told them I
could do this by myself.
First I set the Qur'an on fire and it got burnt before our eyes. Then I tried to do
the same with the Bible. As soon as I tried it, the Bible struck my chest and I
fell on the ground. There was smoke all around my body. I was burning, but
from a spiritual fire. Suddenly I saw a man with golden hair, wrapped in light
on my side. He placed his hand on my head and said to me "You are my son
and from now on you will preach the Gospel in your nation. Go! Your Lord is
with you."
Then I saw the stone on the grave, which was removed. Mariam Magdalene
spoke to the gardener who probably took the body of my Lord. The gardener
was Jesus Himself. He kissed the hand of Mariam and I woke up. I felt very
strong as if when someone would strike me, I could not be hurt.

2. I went home and I told my parents about all what happened. But they did not
believe it. They thought that the Christians got me under magic, but I told
them that all this happened before my very own eyes and that many people
were watching this. They still did not believe and they turned me out of my
home and refused to accept me as their family member. I went to a Church
close to my home; I told the Father there all about what happened. I asked
him to show me the Bible. He gave me one and I read about the event of
Mariam Magdalene and I accepted Jesus Christ as my Savior on 02-17-85.
My Family refused to accept me. I went to various churches and got more
knowledge about the Word of God. I also followed many Bible Courses and
then I got a ministry. Now after 21 years, I have seen many people come to
the Lord and accept Jesus Christ as their Savior.
Thanks to the Lord, I am now married and have a Christian family. Me and my
wife Khalida are involved in the work of the Lord and able to share the
miracles God has been doing in our lives.
Even though it is not easy and we face many hardships, we feel like Paul who
went through hardships and suffering for the Glory of His Savior, who went
Himself through suffering during His walk on earth and on the cross. We thank
God the Father for sending His Son to this earth and giving us free life through
Him. We thank God for His Spirit who encourages us day by day to live for
Him
