THE STORY OF LYDIA CONVERSION

On the Sabbath day, Paul and Silas went to pray at a riverside outside the city gate in Philippi; there they spoke to some women. One of the women was a rich trader who sold purple clothes used by kings and nobles; she was from the city of Thyatira and she was a worshiper of the living God.

The lord touched Lydia’s heart that she believed the good news Paul preached to the people. She was later baptized together with her household. After she had been baptized, she begged Paul to stay in her house.  So Paul and Silas agreed.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE CONVERSION OF LYDIA

For a rich woman to be converted shows that the Holy Spirit was involve and that the mission of Paul was being accomplished.

Secondly she invited Paul and Silas to stay in her house and she took care of them after her conversion. We also should always take care of missionaries and the work of God in our various churches.

Prayers: O lord, give us the boldness to tell others about Jesus. In Jesus name.
