The Wounds Sustained On The Field Of Evangelism (1)      

Friday April 5th

Text: Jude 21 - 24 
Key verse: Jude 22 “And of some have compassion, making a difference.”
My name is Samuel Adjei. I was living in Accra but the word of God came to me to go to Papiweni to propagate the gospel there. I heard that no pastor has succeeded up to six months in that village. Till now, there is no church in that village. If people go there to pastor, they end up either dead, blind or crippled. So, there was nobody willing to go there with the gospel of God. When the message came to me, I waited upon the Lord before taking a step. When I got to the village, I discovered that what I had heard about the village was actually true but the Lord was on my side.
I went there to plant a church with my family but to the glory of God, I have stayed there for eight years now. There have been many battles but the Lord has delivered me and my family. The senior pastor, through whom I got to know that place, brought a mad person to me. My pastor usually prays for this mad person. It got to a point that whenever the pastor prays for this mad man, the mad man will beat him. When I prayed, the Lord directed me to go but I did not inform my pastor that he is not in a position to handle that particular assignment. Anytime I go and see this mad person, he will be very calm in my presence. Anytime he is violent and takes an item to injure somebody, when I get there, he would be calm and give that item to me. 
It became news in the village that when the senior pastor comes to the mad man, he is violent but when the junior pastor gets there, he is calm. Satan used this opportunity to trap me. It happened that the mad man’s situation got worse. Those to control him were unable to do so and he got into the town, trying to injure people. He got to a nearby village and entered into a certain king's palace. This mad man is a grown-up man. I was told that no one could subdue him and that I should bring him back. I started taking necessary steps to go. My wife informed me that she did not feel okay with the idea of my going and if I must go, I should not go alone. 

Thought for the day: As I got the message, I waited on the Lord before taking a step. 

Song for the day: When He calls me, I will answer …

Bible reading for the day: 2 Samuel 14-16

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...

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you wa...
