I WAS TOUCHED IN THE SPIRIT, WHEN I READ THIS: One of Our Pastors was preaching yesterday evening, and He said: 3 weeks ago, while He was doing Morning Evangelism, a Man came out of His house listening and responding - Amen to His Prayers. After He finished preaching, the Man came to Him and said Pastor, I want to speak with you. While they were yet discussing, the Man showed Him His house. He said: see that upstairs, GOD built it for Me as a reason of Me Evangelising for HIM. But now, I don't Evangelise anymore and I don't know why, but I'm still serving GOD... The man said: "My Wife died 2 weeks ago. While the Pastor was trying to sympathise with Him, He said no, because She returned back to life. And He started crying ...

Gospel Diary Weekly Devotion Presented by Pst C. S. Akpan.  Week 2 – September 2024.   🌺Theme : The Power of Prayer🌺 Prayer isn’t just communication—it’s collaboration. It’s not just words—it’s warfare. When you pray, you’re not begging for attention—you’re stepping into divine strategy. You’re partnering with heaven to shape what happens next. 🧮 Storytelling Moment  In a small town, a mother named Grace prayed every morning at 5 a.m. for her son, who had wandered far from God. She didn’t see change for years. But one morning, she felt led to pray Isaiah 55:11: “My word will not return to me empty.” That same week, her son called—broken, repentant, ready to come home. He later said, “I don’t know why, but I woke up with this urge to call you.” Grace didn’t just pray—she partnered with heaven. Her intercession shaped a destiny. 🍁Bible Verse🍁  - “This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.”...

🖖Welcome to Gospel Diary Weekly Devotion, presented to you by Pst Chris S. Akpan🌟 🆚Bible Verse:       And this is the confidence that we have in him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. - 1 John 5:14 (ESV). ☑️Bible Reading :      Take a few minutes to read Matthew 6:5-15, where Jesus teaches his disciples about the importance of prayer. 📆Testimony: During a particularly difficult time in my life, I felt lost and alone. My mother had passed away, and I was struggling to come to terms with the loss.  One day, while walking through a park, I stumbled upon a small chapel. I went inside and found a quiet corner to sit and pray. I poured out my heart to God, asking for comfort and guidance.  As I prayed, I felt a sense of peace wash over me. I realized that God was with me, even in my darkest moments.  From that day on, I made prayer a regular part of my daily routine. It has helped me build a stronger faith ...

As I walked through a difficult season in my life, I found myself questioning God's presence and power. But in the midst of uncertainty, I discovered the unshakeable truth of God's promises. In Psalm 23:4, David writes, "Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff comfort me." God's promises are our anchor in the storm, our comfort in the darkness. They remind us that He is always with us, guiding and protecting us. When we cling to God's promises, we find strength to persevere, hope to keep moving forward, and peace that surpasses understanding. Let us hold fast to God's promises, dear brothers and sisters, and find solace in His unwavering love and faithfulness. Prayer :  Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for your promises that bring us comfort and strength. Help us to trust in your word and find peace in your presence. Amen.

Welcome to the Gospel Diary, first week of August meet up devotion by Pst Chris Samuel. Bible Verse: Isaiah 41:10 (NIV): "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be frightened, for I am your God.   I will strengthen you and help you;   I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." Bible Reading: The bible reading is taking from Matthew 14:22-33 (NIV) Immediately after this, Jesus insisted that his disciples get back into the boat and cross to the other side of the lake, while he sent the people home. After sending them home, he went up into the hills by himself to pray. Night fell while he was there. The disciples were in trouble far out to sea, for a strong wind had risen, and they were fighting heavy waves. About three o'clock in the morning Jesus came toward them, walking on the water. When the disciples saw him walking on the water, they were terrified. In their fear, they cried out, "It's a ghost!" But Jesus spoke to them at once. "Don't b...
