EVANGELISM, DISCIPLESHIP & MISSIONS (EDM)

  B Y    D A V I D    M c Q U E L And she kept praying for her hostile sister. Her sister was not exceptionally attractive or a sought-after kind of girl, however, she was a wild cat. She plunged into the world headlong. She was not going to deprive herself anything fun.   She has had enough deprivations in life, she thought. Their parents were extremely principled and unbending conservatives who believed in nothing but hard work and success.   As the girls grew, their lives were basically planned and their goals for their future were right between the eye’s day and night addictively. As a child the routine were pretty simple: school, home then church. As she grew up, sports were lightly added and house chores.   She heard hilarious stories from classmates. Most of it was strange but lot of it projected as fun. Hanging around folks for so long and hearing the same things for long gets registered in your memory. I didn’t know then. ...

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.

D a v i d   P a m    M c Q u e l Years ago, 1990 to be precise, I met new friends, Emmanuel and Mary, a Young couple with a young son, Johnny. They were very precious to me, friends I will always remember. Life wasn't easy then, I was just a year into full time Christian ministry, precisely under tutoring. I was serving with a church which they they used to be a part of for some time before they moved to another part of town in Jos, North-Central Nigeria. They couldn't afford attending their church. A lot had been spoken in their honour, about what a good couple they were. So I hoped to persuade them to come back to church. In response, they shared this testimony. Just about when they moved their little boy was sick. It was fever, and very high. And there was no money at home. In fact, when it started, they ignored it. They believed it will soon go away. Wishing it away didn't work. Then suddenly, the fever skyrocketed. From snubbing to ...

By David Pam McQuel Justin has a very busy day ahead. How he wished there are 25 hours in a day! It could afford him sometime to do much more. He has to drop the kids of school, then speed off to the dry cleaners. Along the he realized he didn't take his tie, and hopes to get a new time from Oak St. He also needs to be in the office before 9:00am to go through his points again for the meeting he has with very important clients. What a busy day! Let's not talk about lunch and he has to squeeze some time to attend his French classes. He thought to himself: Pressure! Pressure!! Pressure!! Accompanied the scream with a slap on the steering! Jason whispered to himself, "a young man got to fight hard, keep up with the pace and outdo your competitors! Justin you can't be left behind!" Daily pressures, daily routines and daily demands are ever growing influences in our day-to-day. They encroach like termites, like a swarm of locust. There are Chr...

By David Pam McQuel At Bethlehem, God demonstrated that to love is to give. It was the launch of an epic programme that will bring forth the full expression of His mercy. It was the masterpiece of His desire. John 3:16 " 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 ." It was for love that Jesus came. It wasn't to prove anything or show off. It was just a simple act of God's compassion. He gave us free love. Jesus was given to us as the greatest act of God's love, not because we were God, but because of His goodness. While we were dead in our sins, set in our wicked ways, Jesus came. People show kindness to people who are kind but while we were rebellious He showed us his full kindness. What are we going to do in respect to what Christ has done for us? We as His people must respond in a certain emphatic way. Jesus illustrated this in a teaching regarding hi...

By David Pam McQuel The prophet Isaiah 750 years ahead heard these words: " 6 For to us a child is born,     to us a son is given,     and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called     Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,     Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. 7 Of the greatness of his government and peace     there will be no end. He will reign on David’s throne     and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it     with justice and righteousness     from that time on and forever. The zeal of the Lord Almighty     will accomplish this."                                     Isaiah 9:6-7 This words were as if God needed to reemphasize what Isaiah heard earlier in, wi...

Christianity is the only faith born out of compassion. Any effort that can be made in sharing the gospel with the unsaved that is neither born out of compasion nor driven by the spirit of compassion is void of power and influence. The compassionate heart of the witness for Jesus dissolves the hardened heart of the rebellious. All religions are the effort of man to find God. However, the Christian life is God reaching down to man. God saw that man was lost, desperate and helpless and He initiated an effort to redeem man. This act of his love is totally unsolicited. We didn't ask him to do it. We didn't deserve it because of good works. God in his infinite mercies planned and orchestrated. John 3:16  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. NIV Although Jesus Christ our Lord was Jewish by ancestry, He is root and founder of the Christian faith. Jesus came and died for all m...
