HELPING HANDS

SOME OF HELPING HANDS USED BY GOD  FOR ME

SHE HAD LITTLE......
She was a nurse with a meagre salary but she is a Christian and an effective care-giver. 

My Technical Drawing Teacher was a member of Deeper Life Bible Church and invited me and some other pupils for a Church program in Deeper Life Camp, Ayebo Lagos.

I guess, he took pity on me because most of my teachers knew l was a typical student from a poor background. ( Please permit me to leave out exact dates for l cannot recollect accurately date of events, though l remember the events).

So an Altar call was made after God's General, Pastor W.F. Kumuyi finished his preaching and l walked out and gave my life to Christ.

After this encounter, I was given a  flier for special service at Christian Pentecostal Mission (CPM) and which  l decided to attend. It was this Christian Nurse sister that was assigned to follow me up for we reside in the same vicinity. 

I bear witness that she gave more than her best. She had little yet she shared with me. 

My father informed me that now l have decided to  follow Christ, Christ should take care of my needs. My sister was just a girl too and could not help at that time.

It was this Christian Nurse that took care of me. I would visit  her in her  one room apartment. and she will share  scriptures with me and then fed me with the physical food from the little she had.

'Trust in Jesus Christ, no matter what (was her core message.) 'He can never fail you.' she will always say. This truth was demonstrated  in her Christian walk with God.

 She was of marriageable age yet single.
But her zeal and devotion to Christ was recommendable. She was all smile, spending long hours praying for the Church and the neighbourhood.  I guess, the importance of prayers was planted in me from her.

About four months later, she announced she was relocating to the East and that was the last l heard from her. I am so sorry to say that a few months later, l stopped going to church and compiled with my father's desire.

THE LESSONS I LEARNT FROM THIS EXPERIENCE
1.   l must endured hardship as a soldier of Christ. Persecutions will always arise but we must learn to endure for we are overcomers.

2. It is important continual prayers and intensive follow up be done for new convert. Unless they are grounded in the Word, they may turn back because of hardship

3. New converts must be surrounded with love and care and we must be careful who follows them up; because good and negative spirits and mindset can be pass on to them by their carer.

Christ In Your Heart

HOW TO ATTAIN AN INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP  WITH GOD AND MAN Christ is called the Anointed One, which symbolisies that He was a man under the influence and control of the Holy Spirit. Romans 8 reveals that the Holy Spirit can lead a man which is the Holy Spirit guiding and directing the activities, decisions and thoughts of the Man through the written and spoken Word. But when the Holy Spirit is leading a man, the man has the absolute ability to say No to the leading of the Holy Spirit and follow his own inclinations. But there is a higher dimension of  relationship with the Holy Spirit which is state of absolute surrender that is exemplified by the life of The LORD of Host Himself: Jesus Christ, The LORD and Saviour of the Earth.. Jesus Christ , the LORD said in John 6 " I can of myself do nothing, every of my actions is initiated by the Spirit. Jesus. Christ ensured that His thoughts, mind and heart is filled and full of the Word of God so that whatever He says and do, it is an offs
