A Divine Warning: Share the Gospel

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 ... The Pastor was curious to know why He was crying, and the Man said: She died in an operation and the doctors confirmed Her dead, but She returned back to life with a message ... And the message was: Go and tell Your Husband and everyone, as many as...

Guest Post: Finding Strength in God's Promises by Sister Nneoma Okoro.

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.

Overcoming Doubt and Fear with Faith: A Stronger Way to Work with God.

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...
