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

For taking your time to study remain blessed. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All   Monday 24th March Text: 1 Timothy 5: 19-22 Key verse: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20 God wants you to avoid doing evil while saying you want to go to heaven. You may be a member of a worldly church and be saying, “It is my tribal church; if I leave them, they will be angry. I do not want them to be angry.” Is it God you want to make angry by your compromise? You will see the anger of God indeed. It is through the word that you perfect the people, and as a result, the Bible says, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon your brother. Thou shall reprove him.” Your brother or sister has done a bad thing, and you do not bother. You leave them in their sins. They may do the same to other people. The Lord says, “Correct them.” Do not allow sin to be in them because sin will take them to hell. The Bible says, “Them that sin, rebuke befo...

The Testimony Of Jesus Is Spirit Of Prophecy.

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. The Testimony Of Jesus Is Spirit Of Prophecy.  Monday 10th November  Text: Jude 1: 2-5 Key verse: Jude 1: 3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. The faith of Jesus has already been delivered and it is written in the scriptures. Whatever prophecies, revelations or dreams that comes must not be contrary to the standard in the scripture. They must speak the same thing. The testimony of Jesus is spirit of prophecy. Every prophecy or revelation must honour Jesus and must be according to the written word. Even where they are new things, they must not contradict because the Bible is a summary of the things Jesus did. The Bible cannot contain all things. It must be according to what the scripture has already signified, ...
