    TL Osborn shares the gospel with Idi Amin

    Amin Dada (Also called Idi Amin) was dubbed the Hitler of Africa for his brutal dictatorship from 1971-1979. He converted to islam and persecuted christian pastors and believers.

    One day he was traveling to visit a city fo to a political rally when saw a huge meeting with 5,000 people from his plane. He initially though that it was were he was supposed to land and go. He was excited by the size of the crowd, thinking that it was a political rally designed to welcome him.

    When he landed he went to the platform thinking that he was at the right spot and was greeted by Daisy Osborn who explained that they were having a crusade (a meeting for 5,000 pastors). He realized that he was at the wrong location but was so impressed by what her heard that he told invited Daisy and TL Osborn to his presidential palace. The Osborns went and after the meal, TL shared the gospel with the dictator.
    —————
    Here is what Daisy Osborn said about the interaction:

    "After the meal, Rev. Osborn, never a man to pull punches, spiritually challenged the former Ugandan heavyweight boxing champion. "For forty-five minutes Amin listened as my husband shared with him the message of the gospel," says Mrs Osborn. "He stood by the side of the table at attention like a soldier the whole time. The message was very direct. It all centered around the supernatural ability of Jesus to transform a life.

    Tears began to roll down the dictator's deep black face as he listened to the evangelist and his wife.

    "Everyone stood up as he left the Osborns. For some reason he just stepped over and shook his hands," says Mrs Dodwitz, a missionary from Florida."There was a real charisma about the man. His eyes were tear-stained and he was obviously very moved by what he had heard. We had great hopes he would be saved. Amin might have been so close to salvation like Felix and Agrippa but declined the offer of God's mercy. Instead he had an emotional experience rather than a genuine repentance which leads to salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. ——————

    5 years later Ralph Wilkerson met with Amin Dada. Some said that he had a change of heart towards christians after this 1978 meeting.

    The power of God unto Salvation. If only Amin would have repented. Yes, having an emotional experience rather than a spiritual one. Tragic.

    I have come to realize that there are many such filling "church" buildings across America.

    The American "church" is a mission field for those who will dare to speak up against the machine and start preaching the real gospel.

    Just keep preaching. When they get mad, it’s an indicator of the Holy Spirit irritating them in convicting of sin. So many want to hang onto this world.

    I can't believe how many "believers" get freaked out by the simplicity of the gospel and deliverance. The devils have made hay out of a great portion of the called out ones.

    Finney is probably the greatest American revivalist, and he didn't preach out in the streets and fields. He preached to the "CHURCH" and had those revivals. He termed them 'professing Christians'.

    Yeah, I'm dealing with one who wants to hang on to the lies of the devils inside instead of the Truth of Scripture. Seems to be non-teachable.
