TOPIC: TESTIMONY OF A MUSLIM CONVERT – Part 1

FOR TAKING YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD REMAIN BLESSED 

DATE: WEDNESDAY MARCH 3

TOPIC: TESTIMONY OF A MUSLIM CONVERT – Part 1

TEXT: 2 Timothy 4:1-2
1 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.

KEY VERSE: Psalm 40:9 I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest. 

It all started with an argument about Christianity and Islam between me and my co-tenant. I had always argued that God cannot have a child. One day, I accepted to start following the woman that always asked me to become a Christian to their Tuesday Bible Study at Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide (HOREMOW), Lafia Chapter, Nasarawa State, Nigeria. 

I went with the intention of gaining more ground to argue against Christianity. In one of the occasions, I was given a handbill for the 2019 December conference by the wife of the Lafia Chapter leader. She told me that if I attended the conference I would discover the superiority of Christianity over Islam. On hearing this, I accepted the invitation. But I soon began to have mixed feelings about the conference, so I went to hide in the village. 

But while I was in the village, the Lord was trailing me. An evangelist came to my village for a crusade on the 4th of December 2019. As usual, I attended the programme for mockery but God used the man of God to tell me that I have a great future and if I could submit to Him, He would use me as a vessel of honour.  I told him, “No sir! I am a great sinner and God cannot use a sinner like me.”

I left the crusade ground and on my way home, I had a burden on my heart to pray about these two religions in order to know which is the right way. So along the road, I stopped and looked up to heaven. The moon and stars were shining. I stood and with a loud voice I began to question the moon and stars, “Who hanged you up there? What is holding you up there? Who gives you the power to shine like this? 

I know there is a God who created all things and gave power of existence to all things including the moon and the stars. Now I am not praying to God of Christianity or the god of Islam. I am rather praying to the God of the universe that created me and the entire moon and stars. I am confused. I am in a junction. Show me the way out of my confusion about Christianity and Islam. Which one is the true religion to serve you?”

(To be continued tomorrow)

Thought for the day: Those who seek the truth of God will find it.

Song for the day: Call upon Jesus in the time of confusion, call upon 
Him, He will answer you

Bible reading for the day: Numbers 30-31; Mark 9:30-50 #Horemow

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...

PRAY CONSTANTLY                                                                      FRIDAY 11 MARCH TEXT: Luke 18: 1-7 Key verse: 1 Thessalonians 5:17; Pray without ceasing. I wish My children, whilst upon earth, to live more and more with Me in “the heavenly places”. Here, there is no fear or hurry or fret of spirit.

It comes from knowing that everything you have committed to Me is being surely worked out. Yes, immerse yourself in Me –and do ...
