Seizing the Opportunity Wherever You Are
Bishop Keith Butler
And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and
confirming the word with signs following. Amen. Mark 16:20 (KJV)
God has been so good to you that you shouldn't be a closet Christian. On the
contrary, you should preach everywhere that Jesus is Lord. Everybody on the
job should know you are saved, because you don't hide your Christianity. You
are not afraid to bow your head and pray over your lunch. With all God has
done for you, you should almost take a pulpit in the lunchroom, and preach
instead of eating because God has been so good to you. I am not telling you
to do that. I'm just making a point of how thankful we should be at all times
for being redeemed with the precious blood of Christ.
I have preached it from the streets of Detroit to the White House. I have let
them know that I am saved and I am sanctified and I am fil led with the Holy
Ghost. And if they hang around me much longer I am going to pray for them.

A group of us used to go out on the street corner of Cass Corridor and preach
the gospel -- where the drug dealers, pimps and prostitutes were. Those pimps
would threaten us because we were getting their prostitutes saved. But we
preached anyway, because God is good. It didn't matter what they said, it
mattered
what God did. He sent Jesus to save everybody. That means the folks on the
street and the folks in the White House. He didn't leave anyone out.
Some years ago I had the privilege of being on a program in my hometown with
one of the presidents of the United States. Someone arranged for me to meet
him. So, when I met him I said, "Sir, it's good to see you." As I shook his
hand I told him, "I want you to know there is a church in this city that is
praying for you. We are born again Christians that believe in the Name of
Jesus and the power of the blood an d we are praying for you."
He looked at me, and the Secret Service looked at me. Perhaps they thought,
"Here is one of those Jesus freaks, and he's going to do something." But the
president broke out into one of the biggest grins and said, "Pray for me."
Now I know he was probably thinking 'Pray when you get to church.' But I seized
the opportunity right then. I prayed, "In the Name of Jesus, bless this man
and show him that Jesus is Lord."
When you get the chance to tell somebody about the power of the Word and the
Blood, take it. That might be the difference between heaven and hell for them.
