Kind Muslim Elder And Family Accommodates Member Of Christ Embassy In Lagos by Orikinla(m): 12:16pm On Aug 11, 2014
When a member of Christ Embassy could not find any fellow member of the church to accommodate her whilst she was on holidays in Lagos, she found an elderly Muslim man who allowed her to stay with his family in peace. And he did not stop her from her daily Christian devotion and going to church.
If only all the Muslims in the world can be like this one.

Personally, my best employers have been Yoruba Muslims in Lagos.
In fact, one of them also bought me the same designer suits he wore when I was only 24 and provided a chauffeur driven Toyota Land Cruiser SUV for my official use as the Arts/Features Editor of his Kiddies World magazine. And he never owed me even for a month.
But the Igbo Christians I worked for as a Production Manager of their Independent business magazine on DBN TV from 1998-2000, never paid the 8 months salaries they were owing me until I resigned in 2000 to start my own company with the financial assistance of Bishop Mike Okonkwo of The Redeemed Evangelical Mission (TREM). And the money he sowed in my company was N10, 000 more than the total amount of salaries my former Christian employers owed me.

When I also worked for the NGO of Alhaja H.O. Shitta-Bey, a UK trained public health professional and an award winning Program Specialist of the USAID in Nigeria; she was very proud of me and flew me on a local airline to and fro for a one week seminar at the Metropolitan Hotel in Calabar in 1993, with all expenses paid for me.

One particular Imam in Shomolu always welcomed me into his home when I was preaching from house to house as a member of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry in Shomolu in the late 1980s. And when there was a medical emergency to save my younger brother's life, it was one of his Muslim friends who came to his rescue, a son of the Asubiaro Family with a big mosque in their house in Shomolu. My Igbo Christian relations did not help me with the medical bills when I told them I was broke.

A good person will always do good, no matter the religious belief and a bad person will also do bad no matter the religion. But it is evil and hypocritical for people to confess and profess that they are Christians, but don't practice their Christianity in Truth and in Spirit.
Faith without works is useless.
Anyone who claims to be a Christian, but does not practice what is ordered according to 1 Corinthians 13 King James Version (KJV) is FAKE.

[size=18pt]
1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.

3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.

4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;

7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.

11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.[/size]

While a muslim in Port Hacourt could not sponsor the cousin through school, unless she converts to Islam. Tell that to Syrian or Iraque Muslims.

That's a good testimony to the blessing of human kindness.

I remember where I once worked, it was a Muslim who put me through the core lessons there. Something others were reluctant to do.

Religion, Christianity or Islam, benefit no one. A genuine heart of love for humanity is what does. This is the message of the gospel but unfortunately too many Christians fail to live it; while God use Muslims to continue to remind us.

God will free them from the darkness of their ignorance.
