It was friday morning when I finished my devotions
I prayed to God saying , I give myself fully to you, use me as you wish. After that prayer i was getting ready to go to town to repair my sandals because few days after sabbath, I was to head Dar es salaam ( home) after spending more than 6 weeks doing evangelism ( 3 weeks of evangelist campaign in Nzega, Tabora, Tanzania). I missed home. I was offered hot water for shower, I couldn't say no, the weather was abit chilly because of the rainy season. It was not normal to be given that offer but I happily took it. After getting ready, the main preacher of the ended campaign told me, he was going to a nearby village to greet the people there because he once conducted a campaign few months before and t since i knew the people there i said i will accompany him. So we left with the motorcycle. When we arrived, one of the evangelist insisted I should remain and preach in divine service on sabbath and help out in stewardship week I hesitated because i was planning to go home on monday but i remembered the prayer that i prayed to God in the morning that He should use me as He pleases so I remained in the village, that Friday, we went to visit people and did some bible studies and they accepted Christ and they were ready to be baptized on sabbath. It was really God who sent us to that village. The main preacher went back to town and i remained. On sabbath morning I was so nervous because i was preaching for the first time in divine service and in swahili but also I had such a short time to prepare for the sermon. ""Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth,Jeremiah 1:9"". God was truly faithful on that promise, through His HolySpirit, the message was clear and understood and according to the feedbacks from the church members, they were blessed by the sermon. Praise be to God I thank God for such opportunity. During the week, we have started bible studies with one family, so far, they are accepting the messages. God is amazing. I don't regret staying back and the prayer, " God use me as you wish" is a wonderful prayer and God answers it instantly.
" All heaven is in activity, and the angels of God are waiting to cooperate with the human agent who will devise plans whereby souls for whom Christ died may hear the glad tidings of salvation. {PH007 13.1}
" God will not leave you to work alone. Ever since the proclamation of the third angel’s message, angels of God have been waiting to cooperate with the human agent who is in earnest and determined to work. We must go deeper into the mines of truth than we have done. – {TM 123.2}"
"It was the Saviour’s purpose that after He ascended to heaven to become man’s intercessor, His followers should carry on the work that He had begun. Shall the human agent show no special interest in giving the light of the gospel message to those who sit in darkness? There are some who are willing to go to the ends of the earth in order to carry the light of truth to men, but God demands that every soul who knows the truth shall seek to win others to the love of the truth. If we are not willing to make special sacrifices in order to save souls that are ready to perish, how can we be counted worthy to enter into the city of God?—Testimonies for the Church 9:103. – {ChS 8.1}"
We have wonderful promises from God that, He will not leave us work alone, we will have angels accompanying us to do his work.Lets be God's worker and cooperate with Him and finish His work. Amen.
