THE POWER OF THE WORD OF GOD



Gaylord Kambarami, the General Secretary of the Bible Society in Zimbabwe, tried to give a New Testament to a very aggressive man.

The man insisted he would roll the pages & use them to make cigarettes. Mr. Kambarami said, “I understand that, but at least promise to read the page of the New Testament before you smoke it.”

The man agreed & the two went their separate ways.

Fifteen years later, the two men met at a convention in Zimbabwe. The Scripture-smoking man had been saved & was now a full-time evangelist.

He told the audience, “I smoked Matthew & I smoked Mark & I smoked Luke. But when I got to John 3:16, I couldn’t smoke anymore. My life was changed from that moment.”

Aren’t you glad God’s book is more than just words on paper?

John 3:16 (NLV): “For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son. Whoever puts his trust in God’s Son will not be lost but will have life that lasts forever.”
