LESSON THREE - THIRD ARTICLE

 LESSON THREE

The white missionaries brought the gospel to the villages and saved a lot of souls including Mayowa's grandmother and this led to the possibility of Mayowa being able to attend school and eventually becoming who God had destined him to be. 

Missionaries are people that are sent on a mission which includes preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ, winning souls for Christ, establishment of churches, schools, hospitals for the sake of the gospel, raising disciples of Christ and teaching and empowering other believers to also be involved in the work of missions.

The white missionaries were zealous for God's work and were courageous enough to take the gospel to the dreaded Aba-eegun village. Do not be afraid to share the good news of Christ Jesus to anyone as you are led by the Spirit. You do not know if that would be the only chance of that person hearing the gospel message. You should not hesitate to preach the goodnews of Christ to a dying world, bring the message of hope to a hopeless one. Most importantly, be the person that reveals Christ to the world. Let your life be a testament to the message of Christ. Be a living testimony that God really saves. Let there be clear difference between you and an unbeliever in Christ. Your character should speak of the heavenly Kingdom. By your actions, appearance, speech, conduct and approach to issues of life, men should know that the Living God (Yahweh) lives inside of you. These were the things that made mission work possible for the missionaries. If any man is in Christ, he is a new creature. Old things are passed away, behold, all things are become new. 2 Corinthians 5:17. 

Also, we should pray for missionaries as they go on in fulfilling God's mandate. However, we all have been called to make disciples of all nations and we must put this in mind.

Matthew 28:19-20 "19Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen."

Let these be your priority as from today. The Lord bless you.

Romans 1:16 "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek."

LESSONS FROM ARTICLE TWO

 2) Prayerlessness: James 5:17-18 "Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit."  Even after delay is for an appointed time, we need to understand when its timing is over, in order to avoid prolonged delay. Elijah prayed earnestly that it would not rain and it did not rain on ground for three years and six months. In 1 Kings 18:41, Elijah prophesied about a sound of abundance of rain and to bring it to pass, he went to pray earnestly. 1 Kings 18:42. Prayerlessness prolongs delay but prayer brings it to an end. Hannah went up to Shiloh to pray unto the Lord and made a vow. I Samuel 1:10-11. She had been delayed in Child bearing; the Lord shut up her womb. She prayed unto God to remember her. We need to pray unto God. Are you experiencing any form of delay, pray unt

CAUSES OF DELAY (CONT'D) LESSONS FROM SECOND ARTICLE

 5) Sin Proverbs 14:34 "Righteousness exalteth a nation: But sin is a reproach to any people.  Sin is a major cause of delay. Some people experience delay, not because God wants it but, because they have sinned. Moses and the children of Israel experienced delay in the wilderness, because of the sin of disobedience. Num. 14:34 "After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise." Joshua 5:6 "For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people that were men of war, which came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: unto whom the LORD sware that he would not shew them the land, which the LORD sware unto their fathers that he would give us, a land that floweth with milk and honey."  Disobedience is sin and it can lead to delay in the fulfilment of God's promis

LESSON TWO (SECOND ARTICLE)

TOUGH TIMES NEVER LAST BUT TOUGH PEOPLE DO. In the article, Prince and Mrs Adeyori faced some tough times which were as a result of a single challenge which was inability to give birth after wedding. They were abused and mocked but the Lord came through for them at the appointed time; after eight years. One can imagine the shame they would have had for eight years. It was not an easy ordeal they had to pass through, but God helped them through it. You, also, might be facing a tough time presently or later. It might be in health, finances, relationship, family, place of work, business, academics or spiritual life. May I remind you that tough times never last? God is always there for you. What he require of you is for you to call unto him and trust him completely. In Jer. 33:3 "Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not." Yes, you have been calling, but may I submit to you that he is never tired of hearing your voice? Han
