TOPIC: THE TESTIMONIES OF PETER ISAAC (8): HOW I BECAME A ZONAL EVANGELIST
TEXT: 2 TIMOTHY 2:1-5
KEY VERSE: EPHESIANS 5:16 “Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.”
When I was dipped into the water and brought out, the Holy Spirit came mightily on me. My heart was transformed to that of a baby and became very tender and peaceful. I then joined HOREMOW. I started attending chapter meetings and as I began to read the Bible and attend unit fellowship my spiritual life was built up. A call was made for zonal evangelists but I did not respond.
The next day, I went to the place I wanted to learn tailoring but the Spirit of God began to deal with me. A voice spoke to me saying, “Did I save you for you to go and learn work or to serve Me and preach My word? Why did you not volunteer to be a zonal evangelist? Call your leader now and tell him you want to join them.” I obeyed and was added to those for the training.
At the camp, the international director asked, “Have you joined the zonal evangelists for the stipends that will be paid or to win souls for Christ?” He explained that God tested Gideon’s men and reduced them from thirty-two thousand to three hundred. I told God, “Lord You know that I did not come for money but You told me to work for You.”
As I considered my physical condition, a thought came to me that I will not be chosen for this assignment. What gave me hope was that the Evangelism Coordinator encouraged me that if I cannot go far due to my challenge, I should preach to family members and neighbors and win them to Christ. To my surprise, when the final list was released, I was selected.
Daddy Rika invited all of us to come to camp for prayers before we start and we did so. Immediately Pastor Paul Rika prayed for us, the power of the Holy Spirit fell upon me mightily and from that day, I began to evangelize as if nothing happened to me. I could trek far distances and stand with my clutches for a long period without getting tired.
The zeal of God was so mighty in me that daily I was going out to win souls and invite people to join HOREMOW. Many of them surrendered their lives to Christ and followed me to the Converts’ banquet. I give all the glory to God.
Thought for the day: Do the work of an evangelist; make full proof of thy calling.
Song for the day: The joy of the Lord is my strength (4x) He gives me living…
Bible reading for the day: Jeremiah 51-52
