Monday Motivation- Oswald Chambers

Oswald Chambers was a twentieth-century teacher and evangelist.His literary works outlives him. One of his quotes has a lot to say about the heartbeat of God. This is it;-

"When the Lord said to the disciples, "Follow me and i will make you fishers of men" (Matthew 4:19), His reference was not to the skilled angler, but to those who use the drag-net--something which requires practically no skill; the point being that you do not have to watch your "fish," but you have to do the simple thing and God will do the rest. The pseudo-evangelical line is that you must be on the watch all the time and lose no opportunity of speaking to people, and this attitude is apt to produce the superior person. It may be a noble enough point of view, but it produces the wrong kind of character. It does not produce a disciple of Jesus, but too often it produces the kind of person who smells of gunpowder and people are afraid of meeting him. According to Jesus Christ, what we have to do is to watch the source and He will look after the outflow: "He that believeth on me,...out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water" (John 7:38).

My Testimony By Faith Dagana

Hey Guys, My name is Faith Dagana, I can genuinely say that God has really been faithful.. I gave my life to Christ in the month of December 2017. It has been an intriguing experience because I also received the gift of the Holy Spirit who is the helper, teacher, comforter, advocate and many more than words could explain. But there is something that has changed since I became I came into this relationship with the Holy Spirit and that is a great improvement in my health. I used to be the one to run to drugs for the slightest headache or pain. But ever since I got to know the Holy Spirit and the Word. I don't take drugs anymore. I just speak the Word and remind God of his promises to me and the pain goes away. Before now, my health was unstable, and I will always see drugs as the last resort. It's the sixth month since I took any form of medicine. I just want to give God the glory through this medium, because it is a miracle I can't take for granted, and I know He will...

My Testimony by Benjamin Okenna

MY Testimony 1: After I graduated from Secondary School I had only one choice of course/career in mind to pursue and that was to become a LAWYER! However for some strange reasons I just couldn't secure my dream admission to study LAW... After several years of frustration, I ended up with a Degree in POLITICAL SCIENCE...then one Monday morning after my FOOTBALL TRAINING a pastor who had come to pray with my team CITADEL FC (as was the custom every Monday Morning), while praying suddenly stopped and said "there's someone here that has something to do with the media (TV/Radio)" - at the time I was already a sportscaster so the whole team just Shouted SAWADINHO...Then he looked at me and said "the course you studied in school is not what you wanted...GOD said I should tell you that you'll go back and study LAW...that is his design for You" he then instructed that I go and apply and that I'll get in with ease! Shocked, I just stood there mouth open wi...

My Experience by Ferdinand Kenneth

Hello Guys , I am Ferdinand Kenneth and I reside and school in Rivers State, Nigeria. I believe communicating with others about Christ has honestly been the most fulfilling assignment in the entire world and on that note, This is an evangelical experience I had recently. I have a friend who I care for but for long now, she felt God was not looking out for her anymore because of the present situations in her family(permit me not to talk about it.) All I can say is these situations caused her to doubt on our heavenly father, thoughts rushed in as to why a loving father will allow unfair things to happen to good people and leave them in lack. I don't know if we have ever thought about that too, because I have. However, I must say that God used me to speak in a manner that touched her deeply, even to the point of sowing into her life. It reminded me of Faith and Works , something that will always blend together. In His words through me, I said to her:- " L ove is not in when ...
