The
Sunday service started with the Prayer Line, as usual, in which people
with diverse health problems were healed in Jesus’ name. Prophet T.B.
Joshua then arrived in the church to speak on diverse issues of great
implications. He said, in the world, there would be different events but
Christians should cheer up because they have overcome the world,
according to the Scriptures. He said a Christian should not be ruled by
his/her situation but that he/she should be determined and stay true to
their purpose, despite snow or rain.
Using the examples of David and Daniel
among others, he said that in the midst of hardship, campaign of
calumny, name calling and condemnation, we should soldier on if we are
called by the Most High God. He said our challenges can only test us but
cannot destroy us; our challenges (sickness, hardship, etc) will
prepare us for extraordinary service. The challenges, he said, are the
tests which should not be dodged because without tests, there can be no
promotion; such challenges are opportunities to honour God before men.
He advised that it is better for a
Christian to keep his/her mystery because it is a means of protecting
them. He said when men know and understand you, they will destroy you
but when they do not know or understand you, they will call you names.
He said that a man without mystery will never be controlled by
situations. He also said that anyone who forgets where he/she is coming
from is finished. As Christians, our lives should serve as sources of
hope to others. Tests are meant to strengthen our determination for God
and to prepare us for the future, which is why no matter how far we go,
we should always remember where we are coming from.
