Exalting Jesus Life Missions, an inter-denominational organization with the mandate of mobilizing, training, and empowering young people to preach the Gospel globally has commenced it’s eight weeks of physical and spiritual training of hundreds of volunteers for the 2024 missions trip to Uganda.
The training that commenced on Saturday, 7th September 2024 is ongoing at the Foursquare Gospel Church camp ground, Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Ajebo, Ogun State. This will last for the next 60 days with activities geared towards equipping the volunteers who are already swimming in the oceans of elation.
The International Director and Founder of Exalting Jesus Life Missions (EJLM), Rev. Micheal ChistisKing set the ball rolling by charging missionaries and Christians to live a prayerful life that serves as a weapon for tackling spiritual and physical challenges of life at all times.
While addressing volunteers of over two hundred (200) youths who have opted for the mission trip to Uganda, Rev. Michael said, it is important to give oneself to prayers which also serve as an arsenal in times of trials.
He lauded the volunteers for making themselves available for kingdom use, at least for the next nine months.
Rev. ChristisKing journeyed memory lane on how he developed a passion for missions decades ago. This he said was borne out of passion for lost souls and taking the Gospel to the unreached.
Moses Abah of Life Missions in a message on “the need for an encounter”.
In one of the sessions, underscored the importance of having a personal encounter with Jesus.
He averred that, as Christians and disciples, there is a need to get involved in the Great Commission in which Christ Jesus commanded his disciples, “Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature…”
He averred that, having an encounter with Jesus offers one direct access to him unconditionally. Pastor Moses opined that, there are people in the body of Christ who seek God but can not find Him, adding that, there are certain realms one gets to with God and will not look back nor give in to distractions, trials, persecutions, and other issues of life.
A one-time Nigerian Christian Corpers Fellowship (NCCF) President, Cross River State chapter, Moses reiterates the need to live a prayerful life. He noted that prayer is not an activity but a vehicle.
He enjoins all and sundry, especially believers to keep a fixed gaze on Jesus and their goal should be for people to see and encounter Jesus.
Demystifying the idea of one being afraid, one of the Missions Leaders, Sister Priscilla Pelumi said, God has not given believers the Spirit of fear but of courage and sound mind, clinging to .
She said, fear is a barrier and the Holy Spirit wants believers to surrender to him to work out strength, courage, and boldness.
“Some of us are scared of surrendering all to Jesus, worrying about food, Job, business, family, what will people say and how to survive. All that the Holy Spirit demands is for you to hand over yourself to Him to take it to different realms of glory,” she said, citing Romans 8:15.
Innocent Onyedikachi in the early hours of Sunday, September 15, 2024, admonished volunteers on the topic “Why am I afflicted?”. He said some of the reasons individuals pass through affliction is because they have not yielded to the Holy Spirit.
Minister Innocent asserted that, when being tried, one should not say he is being tried by God knowing that God does not lead his children into temptation and affliction.
