EVANGELISM, DISCIPLESHIP & MISSIONS (EDM)

  B Y   D A V I D   P A M    M c Q U E L There has been this conflict between some of the bearers of faith and the bearers of science. And for a long time, many on both sides have argued that both cannot cohabit.   Those arguing for faith think it is lack of faith to look up to medicine. There are arguments is that God is able to do anything and everything. Jesus healed all the sick during the days of his ministry on earth. He is the same today as he was back then. Jesus said, with faith nothing will be impossible. Matthew 17:20   You cannot argue with that. Everything they say is true.   The other side deny miracles, healings and faith. To them it is foolishness. In fact, some who depend only on science consider talk of faith and healing as total irresponsibility and ignorance of science.   Well that is not exactly correct. I know well trained medical practitioners who personally live by faith with little or no me...

B Y    D A V I D    P A M    M c Q U E L Happy Easter to you all! It is worth shouting from the rooftops that JESUS IS ALIVE! He who died and was buried rose again! He rose triumphantly having conquered death and brought with Him great victory for us. He died to set mankind free from all the aftermath and consequences of the fall of man in the garden of Eden. Two millennia ago, prophecy was fulfilled as spoken in Isaiah 7:14 A young teenager on the dusty fields of Israel had a scary experience, a visit from Gabriel. Although she feared God, it was beyond her wildest imagination that an ordinary barefoot girl would have God’s attention. Would you believe it if it happened to you? To cut the story short, Mary found herself in a place where she couldn’t even tell what’s going on. From then on, everything was bewildering. Joseph and Mary had to flee to Egypt, something that was not even a thought in their mind. Can you imagine the ...

 B Y D A V I D P A M M c Q U E L Special moments in Jesus’ life and ministry The fact that Jesus came is indisputable. And many events doted His extraordinarily eventful life. His Birth in Bethlehem announced thousands of years ahead and marked by a mysterious appearing of a start more than 2000 miles away, His intriguing Baptism at Jordan market by the descend of the Holy Spirit in a dove form accompanied by God’s own voice from the open heavens in the hearing of all. Then there was His mindboggling ministry with inexplicable transformation of sinners, never ever seen before dumbfounding miracles and healings, the spellbinding sermon on the mount, the miracles beyond documentation, the once in an eternity transfiguration of Christ on the mountain the presence of His disciples, the incredible suspension of gravity and His walking on the water. Then came His dramatic arrest, the worst kangaroo court sessions in history which crafted his unjustifiable sentence t...

This article has been entire taken and blogged giving full credits to Godreports blog. We are only privileged to spread this good God report.   By Josie Rabbitt Bingham — Chaplain Rondon (left) at July 29 Chapel service, when 200 soldiers gave their lives to Christ Army Chaplain Jose Rondon believes “there is nothing more exhilarating in life than seeing people come to Christ.” In the last six months, Rondon has experienced that exhilaration with more than 1,400 professions of faith — something one could describe as a spiritual awakening — at Fort Leonard Wood, his place of ministry. Because of his reputation for being intentional in his ministry, many have come to hear Rondon share the Gospel on Sundays. Soldiers packed into Chapel service “We have seen 1,459 soldiers come to Christ since March of this year,” Rondon said. “God is doing great things at Fort Leonard Wood among the hundreds of soldiers who have come to know Christ personally.” Soldiers bow their ...

BY   F A I T H    S H A I B U It's January and the break for the holiday is over, resumption for the next semester commences. I decided I would take the bus down from Karu where I reside to Lokoja where I attend school on monday of the next week. My name is Sandrine, an undergraduate at Kogi State university. I'm 21, the first born of a family of five. My mum as usual have started her preparation for what I will be needing in school before my departure. In her eagerness, I know deep down she is already missing me and wished I could stay longer. Monday morning arrived so quickly and daddy woke me up to get ready so I can get to the park early. “Sandrine” “Yes dad!” I responded sluggishly. He is not like mum. African men are not supposed to be emotional. So he put up a class act. It was like he was indifferent. But I know dad, as the eldest kid, he loves to have me around, especially that I look like his mum. He feels she incarnated me...

B Y  Z E N I T H A    V I C T O R I A    B A D A    W I T H    D A V I D   P A M   M C Q U E L Kathryn Butler in Why Christian Love Matters in Depression wrote: The first day I ventured through the church doors, no one knew I fought the compulsion to throw myself off a bridge. Last week we looked at one of the most dreaded words DEPRESSION, which sounds simple but it has growingly become one of life's must threatening epidemic among young people. We say in definition that depression is feelings of severe despondency (low spirits from loss of hope or courage; dejection) its also a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest.  We also saw that sadly people fall victim to depression because they want to do things by their strength rather than by Gods ability. When there is no respect and reverence for God, so fear, worry, anxiety become the master...

BY   D A V I D   P A M    M C Q U E L "I was in Walmart with Malinda, my daughter, about an hour ago, looking at the Bibles, and remembered what she had told me about not being able to understand the regular King James version. I found a very nice New King James Version, and was having fun with her, showing her all kinds of great things in it, and all of it was to where she could understand it. I then turned to Hebrews Chapter 11, and told her, "Now This is known of as The Hope Chapter of the Bible." We had just started to read it, when this older, black gentleman walked up suddenly, and exclaimed happily, "You're reading the Bible and I can understand that!" I looked up at him and said, "Yes Sir, as I am showing my daughter the New King James Version, and how much easier it is to understand. It's in the Giant Print." He replied, "Oh, that's what I am needing so much! You see, I love the Lord and the Bible, but I can...

In these last days when the devil is sweeping away young people like the wind. The appeal today is anything fun and sensual orgy. Its interesting to fine a young person on fired for the Lord. I present to Zenitha Victoria Bada. "My name is Zenitha Victoria Bada. I'm 23yrs old, I'm from a family of four mom, dad, a younger sister then mee, I'm the eldest child.

But Jesus stepped in and gave me a new life, he made me see things in a...

By   D a v i d     P a m     M c Q u e l Thanks to the Collins online dictionary. clueless. (kluːləs ) adjective. If you describe someone as clueless, you are showing your disapproval of the fact that they do not know anything about a particular subject or that they are incapable of doing a particular thing properly. It seems to be an insult or rather too harsh to accuse someone of been clueless. Don’t even dare use it against the church. If there is an exposed wire in my electrical wiring of my house, it will spark every time both naked wires have contact. If I don’t know what to do next, no matter how many degrees I have acquired from Cambridge or Oxford Universities, it will be safe to say I was clueless. Many parents don’t really know what to do as first aid treatment for their kids. So if your kid has a high fever in the middle of the night at home and you have no access to medical care, you may become f...

R o b e r t    C o l e m a n What is the greatest obstacle to Evangelism today? Some may think that it is the fear of how others will respond, or a feeling of being unqualified to answer the questions of friends who do not believe in Jesus. I believe the reason goes deeper than that. In North America, we have a society of people who generally have a sense of sufficiency in themselves. People do not feel a need for a relationship with God. The feel that they are getting along alright on their own, so they see no need for salvation. We also have a culture where, if people believe in God, they tend to fashion Him in their own image - with all of their human limitations. Everyone thus determines what they want to believe. Nothing is nailed down; people set their own standards, and truth becomes relative. Tolerance becomes the great virtue of society, and claims of authority based on the Word of God can make one look like a bigot. And it is just "the worl...
