This Is The Time, No Other Time, And God Is Counting On You – A Message to Life Missions Volunteers.

by

Pastor Omoniyi Osomo, a dedicated missionary, has called on Christians, especially young people, to embrace mission work, stressing that God is relying on them. Speaking at a training session for over 250 Life Missions volunteers preparing for a mission trip to Uganda, Pastor Osomo, the founder of Mission Enablers, delivered a powerful message on the topic, “Dying Before Going”. He highlighted that effective missionary work demands a complete surrender of the flesh and its desires. He emphasized that one must burn the ship and reckon himselves sold out to God’s purpose, as well as give themselves to His will. While sharing his personal testimony about his journey in missions, Pastor Osomo praised the volunteers for answering the call to serve in Uganda. He pointed out that Jesus seeks out the lost and unsaved souls, reminding the volunteers of Christ’s command for His disciples to go deep into the world, reaching those on the brink of eternal condemnation. The missionary emphasized that prayer alone is not enough if one does not yield to God’s call. He cautioned that one might pray in the Holy Ghost, but without yielding to the call, it’s a waste of time; encouraging followers of Christ to step out of their comfort zones and noting that serving God comes with a personal cost, as God does not accept that which costs nothing. Pastor Osomo also prayed for believers to depend on God and spiritual disciplines, warning that “you will fall irrespective of whom you are as a servant of God”. He urged everyone to remain faithful and diligent in their assignments, reminding them that God is the rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. The preacher affirmed that, “The proof of your love for Him is your obedience to His command. This is not the time to be silent but the time to raise the banner of the name of Jesus”. Shortly after the sermon, the Director/Founder of Exalting Jesus Life Missions, Reverend Michael ChristisKing, briefed him on the Uganda Great Commission which include the number of volunteers, the activities at the refugees camp and the prospects. The volunteers have adopted at least a country across the globe to intercede for God’s revival, holiness and righteousness. In light of this, Rev. Michael presented flags of some nations to Pastor Osomo as a mark of solidarity. The ministration also involved an altar call and prayers for salvation. LOVE JESUS CAMPAIGN. You can be part of this!

The Paradox of Suffering and Hope: Finding Strength in the Midst of Pain

by

Suffering is an inevitable part of the human experience. We all go through trials and tribulations, whether it be physical, emotional, or spiritual. While suffering can be painful and challenging, it is also an opportunity to grow in faith and draw closer to God. In this blog, we will explore the paradox of suffering and hope, and how we can find strength in the midst of pain. Scriptural Back-Up: This verse reminds us that the suffering we experience in this life is temporary and that there is eternal glory waiting for us in heaven. While our trials may feel overwhelming at times, we can take comfort in the fact that they are ultimately working for our good. James encourages us to find joy in our trials, knowing that they are an opportunity for us to grow in faith and perseverance. Instead of viewing suffering as something to be avoided, we can embrace it as a means of spiritual growth. Jesus acknowledges that we will face trouble in this world, but he also offers us hope and peace. We can take comfort in the fact that Jesus has overcome the world, and that he is with us in our suffering. The Paradox of Suffering and Hope: The paradox of suffering and hope lies in the fact that even in the midst of our pain, we can find hope and strength in God. When we suffer, we are often forced to confront our own limitations and weaknesses. But it is in these moments that we can turn to God for help and find the strength to persevere. Suffering can also be a time of spiritual growth, as we are forced to rely on God more fully. We may find that our faith is strengthened as we experience his presence and provision in the midst of our pain. Finally, suffering can give us a deeper appreciation for the hope that we have in Christ. When we face difficult circumstances, we are reminded of the ultimate hope that we have in our eternal salvation. We can take comfort in the fact that no matter what happens in this life, we have the assurance of eternal life with God. Conclusion: Suffering is a difficult and painful experience, but it is also an opportunity for growth and spiritual development. By embracing the paradox of suffering and hope, we can find strength in God and draw closer to him in the midst of our pain. As we journey through life’s trials, may we hold fast to the hope that we have in Christ, knowing that he has overcome the world and that he is with us always.

Intercessory Prayer Explained

by

Intercessory prayer is a vital aspect of the Christian faith, as it allows us to bring the needs of others before God and ask for His help and intervention. In this blog, we will explore what intercessory prayer is and how it aligns with a Godly view, with scriptural backup for this important aspect of our faith. Intercessory prayer is the act of praying on behalf of others. It is a selfless act that demonstrates our love and concern for others, and it shows our willingness to stand in the gap and lift up those who are in need. Romans 15:30-31 says, “I urge you, brothers and sisters, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to join me in my struggle by praying to God for me. Pray that I may be kept safe from the unbelievers in Judea and that the contribution I take to Jerusalem may be favorably received by the Lord’s people there.” This verse shows us that intercessory prayer is something that we are called to do as members of the body of Christ and that it is a way that we can support and encourage one another. Another verse that speaks to intercessory prayer is 1 Timothy 2:1-2, which says, “I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession, and thanksgiving be made for all people— for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.” This verse shows us that intercessory prayer is not limited to those who are close to us or who we know personally, but rather, it is something that we are called to do for all people. It also shows us that we are to pray for those who are in positions of authority so that they may lead in a way that is pleasing to God and that promotes peace and godliness. Intercessory prayer is also seen in James 5:16, which says, “Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” This verse shows us that intercessory prayer can have a powerful impact on the lives of those we are praying for. It also reminds us that our prayers are most effective when we are living a righteous life and are in the right relationship with God. In conclusion, intercessory prayer is an important aspect of the Christian faith. It allows us to bring the needs of others before God and ask for His help and intervention. The Bible teaches us that intercessory prayer is something that we are called to do for all people and that it can have a powerful impact on the lives of those we are praying for. As we continue on our journey of faith, let us remember the importance of intercessory prayer, and let us be faithful in lifting up the needs of others before God.

God’s plan for Humanity

by

The concept of God’s plan for humanity is an essential aspect of the Christian faith. It provides a sense of purpose and meaning to our lives and helps us understand the bigger picture of what God is doing in the world. In this blog, we will explore God’s plan for humanity and the scriptural backup for this important aspect of our faith. The Bible tells us that God has a plan for humanity, and that plan is to reconcile us to Himself. 2 Corinthians 5:18-19 says, “All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.” This verse shows us that God’s plan for humanity is to bring us back into a relationship with Himself and that He has accomplished this through Jesus Christ. Another verse that speaks to God’s plan for humanity is Ephesians 1:9-10, which says, “He made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.” This verse shows us that God’s plan for humanity is to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ. This means that Jesus is the central figure in God’s plan for humanity and that all things are ultimately reconciled to Him. God’s plan for humanity is also seen in Romans 8:28, which says, “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” This verse reminds us that God is in control of all things and that He is working everything out for our good. This means that even the difficult and challenging times in our lives are part of God’s plan for us and that He is using them to mold and shape us into the people He wants us to be. In conclusion, God’s plan for humanity is a crucial aspect of our faith. The Bible tells us that God’s plan is to reconcile us to Himself through Jesus Christ, to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ, and to work all things for our good. As we continue on our journey of faith, let us remember that we are part of God’s plan and that He has a purpose and a plan for each one of us. Let us trust in Him and seek to live our lives in a way that honors Him and reflects His plan for humanity.

A urgency for Jesus in your HEART.

by

The urgency for Jesus in your heart is an important aspect of the Christian faith that is often overlooked. We may think that we have all the time in the world to turn our lives over to Him, but the truth is that we do not. The Bible teaches us that tomorrow is not promised and that we must live every day as if it were our last. In this blog, we will explore the urgency for Jesus in your heart and the scriptural backup for this important aspect of our faith. One of the most well-known verses in the Bible is John 3:16, which says, “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” This verse shows us that Jesus is the way to eternal life and that it is through Him that we can be saved. This is a crucial aspect of the urgency for Jesus in your heart, as it shows us that our time on earth is limited and that we must turn our lives over to Him in order to secure our place in heaven. Another verse that speaks to the urgency for Jesus in your heart is 2 Corinthians 6:2, which says, “For he says, ‘In the time of my favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you.’ I tell you, now is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of salvation.” This verse reminds us that today is the day of salvation and that we must not put off our decision to follow Jesus. We never know when our time on earth will come to an end, so it is important to make our decision to follow Him as soon as possible. The urgency for Jesus in your heart is also seen in Matthew 24:44, which says, “So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.” This verse reminds us that we must be ready for Jesus to return at any moment. We do not know when this will happen, but we must be prepared for it. This means that we must live our lives in a way that is pleasing to Him, and that we must be diligent in our faith. In conclusion, the urgency for Jesus in your heart is a crucial aspect of our faith. The Bible teaches us that we must turn our lives over to Him as soon as possible, as tomorrow is not promised. We must be ready for His return at any moment, and we must live our lives in a way that is pleasing to Him. As we continue on our journey of faith, let us remember the importance of having a sense of urgency for Jesus in our hearts, and let us live each day as if it were our last.
